GRUNDY COUNTY SPELLING BEE Josh Truitt is Champion
TMS Seventh Grader Earns County Title For awhile, it looked like deciding the champion of the 2020 Grundy County Spelling Bee was going to take some time. The spelling bee, held on Thursday, Jan. 30 in the Trenton Middle School Media Center, began with 29 students and after five rounds, there were just three students left. But it would take another nine rounds before the eventual champion would be known. When it was all said and done, Trenton Middle School seventh grader Josh Truitt claimed the title, correctly spelling “throttle” and “brayed” in Round 14 to beat out Jaiden Carter of Laredo R-7, who had just misspelled the word “tarry.” The two had been battling it out since Round 11, when Jimmy Berry of Grundy R-5 misspelled his word to finish as the first alternate. The second alternate was Christy Stretch of Pleasant View R-6, who left the contest in Round five. If Truitt, who was the seventh grade champion in the TMS Spelling Bee two weeks ago, was nervous, he certainly didn’t show it. He stepped up to the microphone in each round and confidently spelled the word he was given, even if it was sometimes not right. But Miss Carter and Berry also had some slipups along the way as well, resulting in the continued battle through Round 11, when Berry was eliminated. Round 12 saw both Truitt and Miss Carter misspell their words (amino and garnet, respectively), only to come back and spell “luggage” and “teak” correctly in Round 13.

Josh Truitt, a seventh grader at Trenton Middle School, was declared the 2020 Grundy County Spelling Bee champion following competition on Thursday in the TMS Media Center. Truitt, pictured, at left, won the spelling bee with the word “brayed.” He and Jaiden Carter of Laredo R-7, pictured second from left, will represent Grundy County in the Northwest Missouri Regional Spelling Bee in St. Joseph on Saturday, March 7. Also pictured are Jimmy Berry of Grundy R-5, first alternate (second from right); and Christy Stretch of Pleasant View R-6, second alternate (far right)
“I didn’t really practice that much,” Truitt confessed, adding that there were some words he didn’t know at all. But now that he is the county champion and is on his way to the regional competition, Truitt said he knows he will need to spend a lot of time brushing up on his spelling skills. Truitt and Miss Carter will represent Grundy County at the Northwest Missouri Spelling Bee in St. Joseph on Saturday, March 28. Berry and Miss

Moore Sets Single Game Mark With 41 Trenton Wins Double Overtime Thriller For Third TRENTON GIRLS 64 DE SION 55 - 2 OTs
Maci Moore added another school record to an already impressive portfolio of such accomplishments on Saturday. Her 41 points were the most ever scored in a single game by a Trenton High School girls basketball player. In the third-place game of the Hamilton Tournament, Trenton needed every single one of Moore’s points as the Bulldogs defeated Notre Dame de Sion 64-55 in double overtime. “Maci was very aggressive offensively, which we needed her to be,” Trenton coach Kameron Cool said. “What a memory. A double overtime win to set the record in that fashion, that’s something she is going to remember forever.” The Bulldogs dug themselves in a hole in the opening quarter, trailing 20-9 after the initial eight minutes. But Trenton erased the deficit in short order, going on a 16-6 run in the second to pull within a single point by halftime. In the second half, the game was a tight, back-and-forth contest with neither team being able to get a leg up on the other. In the two overtime periods, it was Moore who propelled Trenton. Moore had 15 points in the opening half, a total aided by a 7-of-11 showing at the free throw line. Moore had 11 more points in the second half, getting the job done with points in the paint. In overtime, it was back to the line for the junior forward. After missing her first three free throws of overtime, Moore connected on her final nine charity tosses to pull Trenton to the win. All totaled, Moore finished with 17 points from the free throw line, hitting 17-of-26 from the stripe. The 41 points broke the former record held by Lora Gooch, who had 36 points in a single game. Behind Moore, Trenton got 16 points from Lexi Whitaker,
who also had a good night at the free throw line, hitting 7of-8. Kendall Crowley had four points, Chandler Lynch had three points and McKayla Blackburn had one to round out Trenton’s total. Trenton captured the thirdplace trophy at a tournament where the Bulldogs were seeded fifth. It was a big jump for a team that was in search of some momentum entering the event on the heels of a conference loss to Milan on Monday. “You always want to outplay your seed, especially when you are seeded low, and you always want to win at least two games at a tournament,” Cool said. “We knew it was going to be tough with the road we had, but the girls battled and I think saw what we can do on both ends of the floor. Moving forward we just have to continue to build on that.” With the win, the Bulldogs moved to 10-7 overall on the season. Trenton will be back at home tonight (Tuesday), hosting Putnam County as the Bulldogs return to Grand River Conference play. Tip time is scheduled for 6 p.m. in the THS gym. SEMIFINAL The Trenton High School girls basketball team was dealt a 56-37 loss by top-seeded East Buchanan on Thursday. Trenton trailed 15-8 after the first quarter and was in a 10-point hole at halftime, down 31-21. The Bulldogs were able to stay in the game in the first half thanks to 14 points from Maci Moore, but East Buchanan made a concentrated effort to take the junior forward away in the second half. Moore was held without a field goal, connecting on just two free throws. The lead was 43-31 entering the fourth quarter and Trenton attempted a full-court press to get back into the game. The move only led to more East Buchanan points and the top-seeded team at the tournament pulled away down the stretch for the 19-point win. Moore’s 16 points paced Trenton and Kendall Crowley followed with 11. McKayla Blackburn and Lexi Whitaker were limited to just three points each and Chandler Lynch and Allena Allen each scored two points to round out the Trenton total.

ALMOST THERE Trenton Gets Three Titles, Just Missing Conference Crown
The Trenton Bulldogs are not quite there, but the gap between Gallatin and Trenton at the top of the Grand River Conference has shrunk considerably. At the GRC Wrestling Tournament in Maysville on Saturday, Trenton came within five points to a conference crown, finishing second behind Gallatin with 146 points. Gallatin escaped with the team title, collecting 151 points, and Maysville rounded out the top three with 116.5 points. Pacing Trenton at the tournament were senior Mark Trump (182) and freshmen Hunter McAtee (106) and Sam Gibson (170). All three won their matches by fall at the tournament, dominating their respective weight classes. Trump needed just three wins to collect the 182-pound championship, his biggest coming over Gallatin’s Gage Wright. The two wrestlers had split matches in the past, but it was Trump who got the better of his Gallatin rival when the individual conference championship was on the line. “Mark Trump set the tone early in the tournament, picking up a win against Gage Wright from Gallatin,” Trenton coach Charlie Bacon said. “Mark just looked completely dominant and pinned his way through. I’m so proud to see a kid like Mark mature as a wrestler from his freshman year until now.” McAtee pinned four opponents to collect his title. In Albany’s Gavin Shoush, McAtee was facing a state-ranked wrestler. But like the other three opponents McAtee faced, Shoush ended up pinned. Gibson had the most work to do, needing five wins to secure his conference championship. He did that, however, pinning the four opponents he faced on the mat and getting a win by injury forfeit against North Andrew’s Coby Etheridge. “Hunter pinned his way through to pick up his first GRC title at 106,” Bacon said. “He beat another state-ranked kid from Albany, which was a huge confidence booster for him. Sam looked dominant,

picking up his first GRC championship. He pinned his way through the tournament and I couldn’t be happier for him.” Behind the trio of conference champions, Trenton had three more runner-up finishers. Brice Gibler (132), Noah Lewis (160) and Caleb Johnson (220) all wound up second on the day. Johnson was 1-1 at the event, getting a pin and getting pinned by Maysville’s Cole Gipka. Lewis picked up a 7-0 decision win and reeled off three wins by fall. His lone loss came via a pin by Gallatin’s Drayton Harris. Gibler had three wins by fall before losing his final match by injury default. “I thought Brice had an outstanding day,” Bacon said. “In the championship match Brice was unable to continue after a hard throw, but will be able to continue his season. He really looked tough in all his matches and I’m really proud of the way he wrestled. “Noah also really wrestled tough and is really starting to put some things together on his feet. Caleb also had a good day, placing second. I’m really happy with the direction this team is heading.” Coleman Griffin was third at 138, winning two matches by fall and losing two by fall. Kaden Owen also came home in third at 145, going 3-2 with all three wins coming by fall. Owen’s two losses were by fall and an 18-2 technical fall against Maysville’s Conner
Berry. Gavin Chambers was 12, finishing third at 113, and Allen Airey was third at 195, going 0-2 in a three-wrestler weight class. Also in action for Trenton were Caylub Tyler (120), who was 1-3, and Timothy Kempton (152), who was 0-4. “We are a good team right now, but I feel like we are on the verge of being pretty great,” Bacon said. “I was really proud of the way our boys wrestled.” at STANBERRY The Trenton High School wrestling team traveled to Stanberry on Thursday for a quad against the host Bulldogs, North Andrew Cardinals and Rock Port. Trenton was the only team close to resembling a full lineup on the night and picked up three dual wins handily. Trenton also dominated action on the mat, winning all but one of the matches wrestled. Trenton opened the night with a 57-0 win over Rock Port. The Blue Jays had just four wrestlers and the Bulldogs defeated all of them head-to-head. Kaden Owen scored a win by fall at 145 and Hunter McAtee (106) and Brice Gibler (132) each pinned their opponents. Sam Gibson made it a clean sweep for Trenton with a 7-1 decision win at 170. Against North Andrew, Trenton won 54-18. Two of Trenton’s open weights, 285 and 138, allowed North Andrew to gain 12 free points and
Gavin Chambers was pinned at 113 to give the Cardinals their 18-point total. Trenton got wins by fall from Noah Lewis (160), Gibson (170) and Johnson (220) to equal that total. Wins by forfeit did the rest of the damage for Trenton as the Bulldogs cruised again. The final dual of the night saw Trenton defeat host Stanberry 59-12. All 12 of Stanberry’s points came at open weights for Trenton with the Bulldogs being open at 138 and 285. Gibson, the only Trenton wrestler to have a match in all three duals, moved to 3-0 on the night with a win by fall at 170. Gibler (132) and Lewis (160) also won by fall, marking two wins each for the duo. Kaden Owen also got his second win of the night, picking up an 18-3 technical fall victory at 145. Mark Trump, Trenton’s state-ranked 182-pounder, was 3-0 on the night, winning all three matches by forfeit. The three wins boosted Trenton’s dual record to 12-5 on the season. There were no matches for the Trenton girls wrestlers. Libby Fewins, Faith Baker, Ally Yoder and Kaitlee Lovell all picked up wins by forfeit against each of the opposing schools. Trenton will be at home on Thursday, Feb. 6, hosting Higginsville in dual action. First matches in Trenton are scheduled for 5:30 p.m.

at the break. But the second half was another story. South Harrison used a 19-6 run in the third quarter to grab control of the contest and iced the game with an 11-7 run in the fourth. “This was one of the best defensive performances we have had this season,” Trenton coach Corbin Coe said. “We forced (South Harrison) to make some tough shots and held them to 55 points for the game. We didn’t shoot the ball really well, though. It is still a make-or-miss game and we didn’t make some shots.”
Trenton was led by Royce Jackson, who had 14 points, and Preston Harris added 10. It was the second loss at the hands of South Harrison this season for Trenton, which fell to its rival Bulldogs in conference action 68-56 back on Dec. 20. Trenton fell to 3-15 overall on the season with this most recent loss. The Bulldogs will look to rebound tonight (Tuesday) facing Putnam County at home. Action begins with a girls contest at 6 p.m. and the boys game will follow.

Chiefs Rally Again, Pirates Handle St. Louis In Region Opener Win First Super Strong Second Lifts TopBowl Title In 50 Years Half Ranked Pirates Kansas City Outscores 49ers 21-0 In Fourth KANSAS CITY 31 SAN FRANCISCO 20 MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — They were celebrating the passage of time as much as football at this Super Bowl: 100-year-old war veterans at midfield for the pregame coin flip, a 50-years-young pop diva handling halftime, and, of course, a quarterback who turns 25 this year saving the best part of the show for last. That quarterback is Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs. It is easy, especially after the improbable, blink-and-youmiss-it escape act he engineered to win the title Sunday, to say Mahomes — a mobile, dual threat with a rocket arm — is what the perfect quarterback will look like as the NFL gets ready to embark on its second century of football next season. But what Mahomes did on a cool, crisp evening in South Florida was grounded in the most basic of sports concepts, one that harkens to the days of leather helmets and long bus rides to the games. “My mindset," Mahomes said, “is always to play and compete to the very end.” And so he did. He injected life into a stymied offense that looked all but done-for, coaxed three touchdowns out of that offense over the short span of 5 minutes, 1 second late in the fourth quarter and pulled out a 31-20 victory over San Francisco in a game that seemed all but lost. Three times during this postseason, Mahomes and the Chiefs have trailed by 10 points or more, and all three times they've come back to win by double-digits themselves. That's a first. But even that history-making feat doesn't do justice to what Mahomes pulled off in the final game of the NFL's much-celebrated centennial. After Mahomes threw the first postseason interception of his three-year-old career —"I hit him right between the ‘5’ and the '4," he said of the pick to linebacker Fred Warner — the 49ers drove 55 methodical yards to take a 20-10 lead. There was 2:35 left on in the third quarter and the Chiefs, used to buzzing up and down the field to the tune of 51 and 35 points in the two earlier games this postseason, had gained 187 yards and amassed only 136 passing. They had scored a measly touchdown and a field goal and hadn't cracked a single play longer than 19 yards. “I wasn't feeling good about it at all," said receiver Tyreek
Hill, who would soon prove critical in turning around the game. "I told Pat, ‘It’s 20-10 with seven minutes left — c'mon bro,' And all Pat did, he just told me to believe.” Hill believed. And he started running. Up against a defense that had allowed a total of eight completions on downfield throws all season, the receiver with track-star speed somehow found a soft spot deep in the 49ers secondary. Mahomes, harassed all night into quick, off-target throws, dropped 13 yards behind the line of scrimmage, surveyed the field — then stepped up and heaved it. The ball dropped soft as a feather into Hill's arms. Four plays later, Kansas City, only moments earlier thinking of concession speeches, was within three points. There was 6:13 left in the game. “I'm not sure exactly what happened,” 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said, when asked to reflect on the play that swung the momentum. Rarely has a game turned so rapidly. Rarely has a team still behind on the scoreboard seemed so destined to win. It all happened so fast, in fact, that everything before it felt like a mirage. It had been 50 years since their team last appeared in, and won, the Super Bowl. Mahomes, the quarterback who coach Andy Reid handpicked and traded away draft picks to get, was supposed to change all that. But when the smoke cleared from J-Lo and the third quarter started, he was no better. “We knew it would be a close game, and there would be some challenges,” Reid said. “He kept firing. That's what he did. The guys around him just believed in him. We all did.” After the touchdown that made it 20-17, it took all of three plays for the Chiefs defense to get the ball back to Mahomes. On the next possession, he struck for another long play — this one to receiver Sammy Watkins who torched the 49ers premier defensive back, Richard Sherman, at the line of scrimmage and got behind him for the easiest 38-yard catch he'll ever make. Three plays later, it was 24-20. Less than 90 seconds after that, it was 31-20, and longsuffering Kansas City had won the Super Bowl. It didn't take long for the questions to start coming about a young team with a young quarterback and a grizzled old coach in Reid who thinks young: Could this be the first of many? “I mean, obviously, I've had a great start to my career,” said Mahomes, who finished with 286 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions, in flicking it away.
For one half on Saturday at the Ketcham Community Center in Trenton, St. Louis Community College hung tough against the number-one-ranked Division II junior college team in the nation. But as the second half wore on, the Archers found out just what North Central basketball is all about. The Pirates put their high tempo offense and suffocation pressure defense on full display over the final 20 minutes of action, running away with a 76-61 Region 16 victory. North Central led just 33-30 at the break, but things tilted the Pirates’ way dramatically in the second half. The Pirates again limited the visiting Archers to just over 30 points in the second half while breaking loose offensively to pull away when it mattered the most. Marty Jackson led the Pirates with 18 points, eight rebounds, three steals and three blocks. Quinan Rieves followed with 13 points and 10 rebounds and Atavian Butler and Jeramy Shaw each tacked on 11 points for the Pirates. Butler added three assists and Shaw pulled down five rebounds. With the win, NCMC improved to 19-1 overall and established a 1-0 mark in Region 16 action. The Pirate men are back at home tonight (Tuesday), playing host to the Culver-Stockton junior varsity at 7 o’clock.

NCMC Women Dealt Region 16 Loss Slow Start Dooms NCMC Women Saturday ST. LOUIS WOMEN 74 NCMC WOMEN 54
The North Central Missouri College women’s basketball team got off to a slow start on Saturday against St. Louis Community College and it doomed the Pirates, sending them to a 74-54 loss in their Region 16 opener at the Ketcham Community Center in Trenton. The Pirates fell behind 2112 in the first quarter and things didn’t get much better
in the second period as St. Louis stretched the advantage to 41-25 by halftime. NCMC battled St. Louis much closer in the second half, but the damage done early stood through the third and fourth quarters as the Pirates fell by the 20-point margin. Kortlyn Rounkles was the only Pirate in double figures, finishing with 17 points to go with six assists. Lily Osborn added eight points and three assists and Kennedie Kieffer pulled down nine rebounds. With the loss, North Central fell to 13-7 overall and 0-1 within the region. The Pirates will look to bounce back tonight (Tuesday), as they play host to the Missouri Valley College junior varsity at the Ketcham Community Center. Tip off in Trenton is scheduled for 5:30.

Max Oyler Max Oyler, a 101-year-old Trenton resident, died at 4:30 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 31, 2020 at Sunnyview Nursing Home in Trenton. Funeral services were held at 2 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 3, 2020 at Wesley United Methodist Church. Burial was in Maple Grove Cemetery. Memorial donations are suggested to the Maple Grove Cemetery and may be left with or mailed to the Slater-Neal Funeral Home in Trenton. Max was born the first child of Bert and Blanche Moore Oyler on June 18, 1918. He graduated from Shott Grade school, attended Tindall High School for two years and graduated from Trenton High School. He attended Trenton Junior College for one year. While in high school and college, he was active in FFA and the FFA Alumni. He farmed with his family on the family farm. Max married the love of his life, Maradyn Webster, on Oct. 15, 1948. They lived for seven years in the second house on the family farm, which they modernized themselves. They then bought a farm four miles northeast of Trenton in the Grundy Center neighborhood and completed modernization of a second house. They sold the farm in 1962 and bought the Spickard Locker, which they operated for 25 years. During this time, Max served as president of the American Farming Association as well as served on the state committee. He served several terms as president and vice president of the Grundy County Farm Bureau and was a board member and long-term legislative chairman. He served on the North Central Missouri Fair Board and worked the hog show as co-superintendent. He served as president and was a board
member of the Missouri Locker and Meat Association. He helped coach FFA meat teams for Trenton and Princeton during which time one team won state. While on the farm, Max and Maradyn served as 4-H leaders. In 2011, Max was given a plaque for over 60 years of service to Grundy County Farm Bureau and Max was especially proud when Missouri Farm Bureau honored him with an award for Distinguished Service to Agriculture in 2014. Max belonged to and was active in the Wesley United Methodist Church since 1962. He belonged to the choir, led singing, sang solos, was a Wesley Singer and did many odd jobs to help with his church. In July 2010, the women of Wesley presented Max with a plaque in recognition of all the things he did to preserve and maintain the church. Music and singing have always been an important part of Max’s life. He loved to sing and to bring joy to others with his singing. He sang with the men’s chorus in Spickard, the Tindall Quartet and later in the Grundy Center Quartet. He lost long-time love and wife of 62 years, Maradyn after a long illness on April 5, 2010. He was also preceded in death by his parents; a sister, Elizabeth; and brothers, Lyle, Charles and Clifford. He is survived by his sister Mary Larison of Kansas City; a son, Dennis and his wife, Marilyn of Cotopaxi, CO; grandchildren, Chris (Jill) Oyler of Lewisville, TX and Kathryn (Brandon) Ory of Cotopaxi; and five great-grandchildren, Kody, Kasey, Alex, Lucas and Michael.

During the past few weeks the state agency generating a large amount of attention at home has been the Missouri Department of Transportation. The weather and treatments of roads have been on all of our minds. My wife and I live on a township road (gravel) and are fortunate to have leadership and crew that do a good job maintain- ing our road. The highways we travel on to make it to our home are numbered state roads. Ice and snow have caused trouble on all of our roads. The questions I receive from constituents almost always center around WHY is this road not treated, not bladed, not ????? I want our local MoDOT employees to know that very rarely do your neighbors complain about you and how you do your job; the concern is with the leaders in St Joseph and Jefferson City.

The information I have gained from leaders at MoDOT normally points to volume of traffic, lane miles and the need to use tax dollars efficiently. I sit on the budget committee and listen to these discussions in all of the departments’ discussions and debates. Many of the people talking with me believe if we allowed local MoDOT barn supervisors more flexibility in decisionmaking at the local level, better results would be realized by citizens. I would agree with this thought BUT, as we have lost trust publically with our government organizations, citizens (and therefore legislators/officeholders) have greatly restricted flexibility in spending (therefore operations) within the budgets. On Tuesday, I heard a member of a bureaucracy ask if we (the legislature) would allow for 1 percent flexibil-

ity within a specific budget item. One percent flexibility does not allow a person to be very nimble when making decisions. I plan to share more information concerning the formula that impacts funding of roads in the northwest region. I also have asked the department to share with me the protocol followed when dealing with treating roads during snow/ice events. Our region has two people serving on the Highway Commission; Michael Waters Jr. of Orrick and Terry Ecker of Elmo. I believe these two represent northwest and rural Missouri interest.

“A Word From...” by the Trenton Area Ministerial Alliance Rev. Jim King Pastor Dockery Chapel and Gilman City UMC RE-BOOTING When our computers slows down, locks up or not as fast as it once was, we try to do a quick fix in order to get it running well again by re-booting the computer. It erases the chaos, we can start from scratch and prioritize what is important that we need to work on. In our lives, we can relate to this situation on how we deal with every day problems. Sometimes, bad selfcare habits bogs us down and we need a re-boot of some sort. The tyranny of the urgent also crowds our time, especially our spiritual time. In Exodus 2, we see the story of Moses and how he became royality in Egypt, even though he was a descendant of the Hebrew people. In his early adulthood years, Moses killed an Egyptian man because he was the Egyptian was hurting a Hebrew slave. Moses thought the tyranny of the urgent neded to take up his time, leading him to not think correctly and kill another person.
God gave Moses a re-boot; even though Moses was someone who killed another person, God granted a re-boot by showing Moses how to lead the Hebrews out of Egypt into the promised land. Moses had his plans, and they made sense from his perspective. Yet God’s plan was radically different. 40 years later, God led Moses and his brother, Aaron to Pharaoh with a special stick that turned into a snake. Moses asked Pharaoh to let Israel go back to Canaan; Pharaoh said no, so God brought plagues of blood, frogs, mosquitoes, flies, cattle disease, boils, hail, locusts and darkness. Finally, God judged stubborn Pharaoh and Egypt with a plague on the firstborn of Egypt; Israel escaped across the Red Sea. The waters of the Red Sea came back and killed the Egyptian army and the Hebrews crossed the wilderness and came to Canaan. Such an unlikely plan would never come from man. If we are called to re-boot our lives, God needs to be a part of that process. My prayer to you this day is that we realize that plans might be impossible for humans, but anything is possible with God.

Not one, not two, not three defenders could stop Maci Moore, who scored a career-high 30 points on Saturday in Trenton’s 57-18 victory over St. Joseph Lafayette. Moore also had nine rebounds in the win.
Moore Hammers Lafayette, Leads Trenton With 30-Point Night Maci Moore has scored a lot of points for having a high school career that has bridged just a year and a half. On Saturday, Dec. 22 at North Central Missouri College’s Holiday Hoops, Moore established a new high-water mark for her career, pouring in 30 points as the Trenton High School girls basketball team throttled St. Joseph Lafayette 57-18. Moore dropped in the first two points of the game and drew a foul, going to the line to complete a three-point play just seven seconds into the contest. That would be the theme all night as Lafayette struggled to find an answer for the sophomore forward. “I was just working to get open, get in front of (Lafayette) and put it up ”
about a lot because we have so many different weapons that can score on a given night,” Trenton Head Coach Brian Upton said. “We work a lot in practice on defense, though and the intensity that we come out with. I didn’t have a real good scouting report on Lafayette, but we just came out knowing that we needed to talk on picks and the girls had the right intensity, the right energy level. You couple that with some very athletic girls that have a good basketball IQ and the next thing you know, you are shooting passing lanes and getting tips. I thought we were just very active on defense and that’s what good teams do. Even teams that score a whole bunch of points, if they are going to have a successful season it all starts on the defen
said. “Tonight we were just trying to spread the floor and get to the basket. (Lafayette) plays a lot of sagging man and it almost resembles a zone because everyone is in the lane. So we were going to try to draw the defense out and dump it to Maci or Sidney (Lynch) or whoever happened to be down there. Maci was the answer. I think they even lost her a couple of times, she was so wide open. She is a great finisher around the basket, she is a great kid and she is a great teammate. She is very coachable. When you have a player who has a great work ethic and you combine that with someone who has gifted hands, gifted feet and great touch around the basket, it makes for a great player.” Behind Moore Trenton got
tougher go than the girls, falling 38-34 to Green City earlier in the day. The Bulldog defense continued to be one of the strongest parts of Trenton’s game, but Green City’s Devin Field did just enough to put the Gophers on his back and carry them past Trenton. Fields scored 20 of Green City’s 38 points and Trenton’s offense sputtered once again leaving the Bulldogs with a four-point loss. “We played great defense and rebounded well,” Trenton Head Coach Jeremy Austin said. “We just couldn’t score. It was a tough loss and we have to bounce back. I am very confident that’s exactly what we will do.” Trenton was led by Max McNabb, who had 10 points and three steals Carson Rad

ACROSS MISSOURI
Parson, Galloway Split On Clean Missouri, Audit Controversy by Madison Czopek Missouri News Network An inquiry into potential bias in the auditor’s office and Republican lawmakers’ efforts to revamp Clean Missouri were the focus of disagreement by Gov. Mike Parson and State Auditor Nicole Galloway on Thursday. Galloway, a Democrat pursuing the party’s nomination to challenge Parson for the governorship this fall, and Parson fielded questions from statewide reporters during separate meetings sponsored by the Missouri Press Association and The Associated Press. Allegations of Partisanship Republicans in the House this week held a hearing to explore U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley’s allegations that Galloway’s office is deliberately making an audit of his Attorney General’s office more critical because of a staffer’s partisan political views. Galloway has said there has been no partisan bias in the process, but she did remove the auditor who was leading the investigation because he was found to have made a campaign donation to Claire McCaskill, Hawley’s opponent in the 2018 Senate election. Parson said he thought it was important to discover if the allegations were true. He indicated concerns about an email chain publicized by Hawley, which contained language that Hawley believes indicates that a staffer was making the audit more negative.
“If we ever use (elected) positions for political gain, then it’s wrong,� Parson said. “And I don’t care who is doing it. I don’t care whether you’re Republican or you’re Democrat. There’s a lot more details to that right now, so I don’t know, but I think finding out what the details are is fair for any of us in elected positions, whether it’s her, whether it’s me, whether it’s anybody in state office.� Galloway was asked about a bill introduced Tuesday by Sen. Dave Schatz, R-Sullivan, which would require that the auditor be audited by an independent certified public accountant in 2020. Schatz indicated Tuesday that the introduction of the bill was related to Hawley’s allegations. Galloway said the legislature has already audited her office three times without finding any discrepancies or concerns and welcomed further audits or review. “If they would like to do an audit, I’m sure they’re going to get the exact same result they’ve gotten every other time they’ve done it,� Galloway said. Galloway added that in past administrations, auditors have only had their offices audited once every term, while her office has been audited or reviewed five times in the past four years. “It is what it is,� she said. “I am not immune from review, and I don’t pretend to be.�
STRAIGHT TALK WITH SAM Sixth District U.S. Rep. Sam Graves 1415 Longworth House Bldg. Washington D.C. 20515 Phone: 202-225-7041 A COMMON SENSE RULE Since it was first announced in Something as simple as a pud2011, the Waters of the U.S. rule dle could have been regulated - as envisioned by President by the EPA under the wideObama - has hung like a mill- reaching definition! The onerous stone around the neck of rural rule was put forward as the best America. Better known as way to protect our water; in realWOTUS, the rule drew the ire of ity, it was designed to give the farmers, small business owners, federal government domain over and many living in the heart of every family farm and parcel of land in rural America. the country—and rightfully so. Thankfully, President Trump President Obama’s WOTUS rule turned empty ditches, farm announced last year that the rule ponds and small streams into had finally been ditched. He also navigable bodies of water and announced that he would be replaced them under the jurisdic- placing it with a common-sense tion of the federal government. rule that would protect our water
while not infringing on the private property rights of folks in rural America. Last week, the Navigable Waters Protection Rule was signed, providing much-needed clarity to farmers and landowners. This rule provides consistency and predictability. No one wants the EPA or Corps of Engineers wandering onto their land to pick and choose what to regulate. The rules need to be clear, concise, fair, and effective—that’s exactly what we got with this new rule. To that end, what constitutes federally-regulated “waters of the US� is finally defined. What constitutes a ditch will now be in writing, and most of them won’t be regulated. The meaning of prior-converted cropland will now be clear for farmers. Finally, state and local authorities will be given far more flexibility to determine how to manage their water resources. Critics have alleged that the new rule is just another example
Clean Missouri Scrutinized When faced with questions about whether he believes voters fully understood the constitutional amendment known as Clean Missouri, Parson did not give a direct answer. Some Republicans have argued that Clean Missouri — which passed with 62% support across the state in 2018 — confused voters because it included both ethics reform and redistricting reform. As passed, Clean Missouri implements a number of changes that lower campaign contribution limits, reduce lobbyist gift limits and alter the way districts are drawn by empowering an independent demographer to oversee the process. Parson said he believed most voters understood the ethics reform parts of the bill. He did not say the same for the redistricting reforms. Parson also said he did not have a problem with lawmakers once again putting the redistricting issue on the ballot for a vote. Recently, Republican senators launched an effort to make drastic changes to Clean Missouri in the hopes of getting a rewritten version on the ballot in the fall. Parson said if voters disagree, they can reject the new effort. “I don’t have a problem with the people going back and saying, ‘Hey, yep, this is what we said you guys, so do it,’� Parson said. In contrast, Galloway voiced her support for the amendment remaining as-is, saying she
of Republicans wanting dirty water. That couldn’t be further from the truth. We just want to make sure that the regulations that folks must abide by are based in logic and reality. That’s what this new rule accomplishes—ensuring we maintain a clean water supply while not overextending the reach of the federal government into places it doesn’t belong, like the empty ditch running through your back forty. It is possible to have clean water and less bureaucracy; it just takes common sense and folks looking out for rural America to make that happen. The Navigable Waters Protection Rule is a perfect example of listening to the folks who fire the engine that drives America and implementing their ideas. I look forward to President Trump finalizing this rule and removing a major threat to our rural way of life.
MO Bills Would Ease Licensing For Out-Of State Workers JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri lawmakers this session are trying to make it easier for military spouses and out-of-state doctors, teachers, pharmacists and other licensed professionals to get jobs in the state. Legislation approved by the Missouri state House this past week would allow those professionals to work in the state without going through the states's licensing process. One

bill would make the exception only for military spouses, who might move frequently. That bill wouldn't allow military spouses to transfer teaching licenses to Missouri. “It will allow military spouses the ability to start on day one, when they get here if they choose to, without jumping through a bunch of unnecessary hoops,� Republican bill sponsor Rep.

trusts the will of the voters and believes people across Missouri said they wanted fair and transparent government by supporting Clean Missouri. “It is very interesting to me that within days of Clean Missouri passing, politicians in this building did interviews saying that, ‘The voters got it wrong, they were confused, they didn’t know what they were voting for,’ and the politicians in this building are going to fix it for them,� Galloway said. “You know, why were voters so smart when they voted these guys into office, but not so smart when they voted on things they care about in their government, like Clean Missouri?� Gun Control Debate Parson also faced questions regarding his position on a potential law that would be modeled after a federal law and prevent children, domestic abusers and violent criminals from being able to own handguns at the state level. Those were priorities included in a list created by a group of several mayors, including Columbia Mayor Brian Treece, who met with Parson on the issue. Parson at the time indicated support for the mayors‘ overall effort. On Thursday, he took a step back on the issue of gun ownership. “I didn’t advocate for anything,� Parson said. “All we said was those were issues that were going to be talked about during the legislative session.�
Missouri Woman Supports Aspiring Composers COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri woman's passion for music composition has led her to provide opportunities for aspiring composers that weren't previously available. Jeanne Sinquefield has donated a total of $17 million for composition programs to the School of Music at the University of Missouri since 2006. The money also helped build the Sinquefield Music Center on the MU campus, which opened in late January, the Columbia Missourian reported. It provides musicians and composition students a space to rehearse and record their work in well-equipped facilities. Sinquefield realized she had a passion for music composition after her cousin, Alex Genigeorgis, played a song he wrote about America after 9/11. She was transfixed. The support of music programs by Sinquefield and her husband, Rex, started years ago. Jeanne Sinquefield's first idea was to put a $50,000 gift
toward the establishment of the Creating Original Music Project, a composition contest for K-12 students in Missouri that was first held in 2006. Sinquefield said it was fun to watch the children show off their creativity, but she was shocked to learn that none of the winners had ever met another composer. Sinquefield decided to sponsor a composition summer camp for Missouri high school students at the university's campus in 2007. During the workshop, one of the MU music students helping the high schoolers asked her: “What about us?� This pushed Sinquefield to focus her attention on supporting programs for composition students. In 2009, Sinquefield and music school officials started the Mizzou New Music Initiative to benefit students, faculty and guests. That program offers scholarships to composition students, connects them with professional musicians and holds concerts featuring the students’ music.

look for support groups and other friends who have had similar experiences. Perhaps in sharing your grief with others, you will find more connections, and, who knows, you might just meet a new woman. Dear Annie: I appreciated your response to the parents struggling with a grown child with mental illness. I wanted to add one thing. In many states, the Department of Mental Health is an incredibly important resource. I don't know where my son (with personality disorder and schizoafffective) would be without his DMH worker. -- Grateful Dearr Grateful: Thank you for your suggestion. I am printing your letter in hopes that it helps other families dealing with similar situations.

As new power plants are built across the country y over the next year y , more than three-quarters of the potential ellectricity they generate will come from the wind and a the sun. It’s not just coal c power they’re replacing. The U.S. Energy In nformation Administration expects the developme ent of new natural gas pow wer plants to slow this yea ar. Wind is expected to fuel 44% of the e new electricity capa acity that’s built, while sola ar energy is expected to pro ovide 32%, according to re eports from the EIA. Natura al gas-fired power plants will w provide
22% of the new capacity. But when it comes to measu uring the electricity that’s actually generated from the new sources, natural gas may end up powerring more than 22%, because those plants can be run all the time, including g when the sun isn’t shining or o wind isn’t blowing.. The trend t is expected to continue e next year. The EIA expects generation from renewab ble energy sources other tha an hydroelectricity to grow by 17% in 2021 while na atural gas-fired generatiion will decline by 2.3%. C Coal generation is expected to fall by 3.2%.
