Items on the announced agenda include staff resignations, discussion regarding the coronavirus impact and an executive session for personnel and student matters.
R -9 Lunc ches Ava ailablle Fo or All Lo ocal Children The Trenton R-9 School District has announced it will be providing lunch for ALL youth in the Trenton community, ages 18 and under, who need a meal while school is closed. Parents/guardians can call the school at 3594383 from 8 to 9:30 a.m., Monday through Friday, for a meal that day.

Grundy County Health Department officials report there are no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the county, however, there are two positive cases reported in this region - Clinton (Cameron) and Adair (Kirksville) counties. Statewide, as of Monday morning, the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services reported 106 positive cases. The health department said it has delivered notices requiring that all food service establishments in the county close their eat-in areas until April 6. Restaurants may continue offering carry-out, delivery and curbside service. The health department remains open for regular business hours, but will alter office services being provided to prioritize COVID-19 response and to protect the health of its employees. Persons who are ill should not come to the health department, which is not testing for COVID-19. The health department is reminding all residents to continue practicing good handwashing and cough etiquette. COVID-19 symptoms include cough, fever and shortness of breath and persons believing they have symptoms or have been exposed should stay home to seek medical care. Persons should also call ahead prior to going to the doctor. The city of Trenton has no plans at this time (Monday) to send employees home. However, City Administrator Ron Urton said there are plans in place on what direction the city will take depending on information the city receives from state and local health officials. City Hall and Trenton Municipal Utilities are currently closed to customers. ********** The rules for dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic changed over the weekend when Missouri Gov. Mike Parson ordered statewide social distancing, which resulted in many businesses having to close or severely restrict the services they offer. During a news conference on Saturday, Gov. Parson said that Missouri residents should stay home if at all possible, going out for only “essential needs.” Places such as the grocery store, gas station, banks and parks are allowed under the governor’s order so long as the necessary precations are taken and maintained to reduce the transmission of COVID-19, including maintaining at least six feet of distance between all individuals who are not family members. Residents were also barred from visiting nursing

While other Trenton R-9 School staff members remain at home due to COVID-19 concerns, cooks at Trenton High School were busy on Monday morning preparing lunches for local youth. The R-9 District is offering lunches on Monday through Friday to all children ages 18 and under who live in the Trenton community (see notice, at left).

homes, long-term care facilities, retirement homes or assisted living homes unless they are providing critical assistance. In addition, restaurants, bars and food courts were barred from in-house dining, limited to only drivethrough, pickup or delivery options. Schools were also ordered to remain closed. The order by the governor was issued through 12:01 a.m. on Monday, April 6. Below is a list of announced operation changes from local and area businesses and services: The Trenton License Bureau has closed, effective on Monday, and will remain closed until at least April 6. At that time, the situation will be re-evaluated to determine whether or not to extend the closing time. The Department of Revenue has implemented automatic extensions for expiring driver licenses and motor vehicle registrations. The 60-day extensions, effective immediately, include vehicle owners with registrations or license plates expiring in March and April (owners will be able to continue operating their vehicles on Missouri roadways without penalty until they can apply for renewal); the time frame in which a vehicle safety and emission inspection is valid for March and April license plate expirations and applicants for a vehicle title will not be assessed a late penalty when visiting a license office, effective immediately; and valid Missouri driver licenses, nondriver licenses and noncommercial instruction permits with original expiration dates of March 1 through April 30 (the approved extension does not waive the mandatory retesting requirement for per-
sons who have allowed their license to expire for more than 184 days) Individuals who were provided notice to complete additional testing as part of a medical review program requirement will have 60 days to complete those requirements as well. The Emergency Services Complex, located at 1001 East 17th St., has been closed to the public until further notice. Trenton Fire Chief Brandon Gibler said the TFD, the Grundy County Ambulance Service and Grundy County Rural Fire Protection District remain ready to respond to emergencies, however, in the interest of public safety, no visitors are being allowed. Persons with an emergency are asked to call 911 while non-emergency phone calls for the TFD should be directed to 359-5552. The Grundy County Ambulance Service asks those who need to pay on an account to mail the payment to them at 1001 E. 17th St. Suite 1, Trenton, MO 64683. Questions or concerns about a bill can be directed to 359-4422 between the hours of 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. North Central Missouri College has announced that the 2020 commencement ceremonies, scheduled for May 9, have been cancelled and will not be rescheduled. NCMC said that the college will be honoring graduates through various capacities on the school website, social media and other outlets. Information regarding their alternative celebrations will be forthcoming. The college will also be closing the campus on Fridays until April 3. Business hours will now be from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., Monday through See COVID-19, Page 3
Dollar Limit Removed
Reserve Will Buy Additional U.S. Debt WASHINGTON (AP) — In its boldest effort to protect the U.S. economy from the coronavirus, the Federal Reserve says it will buy as much government debt as it deems necessary and will also begin lending to small and large businesses and local governments to help them weather the crisis. The Fed's announcement Monday removes any dollar limits from its plans to support the flow of credit through an economy that has been ravaged by the viral outbreak. The central bank's allout effort has now gone beyond even the extraordinary drive it made to rescue the economy from the 2008 financial crisis. "The coronavirus pandemic is causing tremendous hardship across the United States and around the world," the Fed said in a statement. “Our nation’s first priority is to care for those afflicted and to limit the further spread of the virus. While great uncertainty re-
mains, it has become clear that our economy will face severe disruptions. Aggressive efforts must be taken across the public and private sectors to limit the losses to jobs and incomes and to promote a swift recovery once the disruptions abate.” Financial markets sharply reversed themselves after the announcement but then fell back again after the market opened. By mid-morning, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down about 1.5%. The yield on the 10-year Treasury bond fell, a sign that more investors are willing to purchase the securities. In unleashing its aggressive new efforts, the Fed is trying both to stabilize the economic standstill and allay panic in financial markets. Many corporations and city and state governments are in desperate need of loans to pay bills and maintain operations as their revenue from customers or taxpayers

collapses. That need has escalated demand for cash. In the meantime, large businesses have been drawing, as much as they can, on their existing borrowing relationships with banks. The intensifying needs for cash means that banks and other investors are seeking to rapidly unload Treasuries, short-term corporate debt, municipal bonds and other securities. The Fed's move to step in and act as a buyer of last resort is intended to provide that needed cash. The Fed's actions increase pressure on Congress to approve a nearly $2 trillion stimulus package that stalled late Sunday. The bill includes funds that would help backstop the Fed's lending. Many economists say that whatever financial support Congress eventually provides will likely be even more important than the Fed's intervention. And they warn that such fiscal help needs to come soon.
The Fed’s intervention is not a substitute for fiscal stimulus,” said Joseph Gagnon, a former Fed economist who is now senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. "Let's hope Congress passes something quickly.’’ Joe Brusuelas, chief economist at RSM, a tax and advisory firm, said that if Congress can pass the legislation and have it signed into law by Tuesday, banks could start making loans to small and medium-sized businesses, with the Fed's support, by Friday. “It is dependent on the political authorities getting their ducks in a row and passing a bill,” he said. In its announcement Monday, the Fed said it will establish three new lending facilities that will provide up to $300 billion by purchasing corporate bonds, a wider range of municipal

Moore, Whitaker Honored By Media Trenton Tandem Named To All-District Team Maci Moore and Lexi Whitaker each played big roles on Trenton’s state thirdplace basketball team a season ago. In the 2019-2020 season, they were called on to do even more. Trenton’s first season in the absence of five seniors who lifted the program to two final four appearances didn’t end with a return trip to Springfield, but Trenton found plenty of success behind Moore and Whitaker. Both were named on Monday to the Missouri Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association’s All-Northwest District team. The team honors the best of the best on the basketball court in MSHSAA’s Northwest District, which encompasses an 18-county region in the northwest portion of the state. Those counties include Atchison, Nodaway, Harrison, Worth, Mercer, Holt, Andrew, Gentry, DeKalb, Daviess, Grundy, Livingston, Buchanan, Clinton, Platte, Caldwell, Ray and Carroll. Moore added the all-district nod to a growing list of honors that includes AllGrand River Conference unanimous first team and KMZU Class 3 Player of the Year. She averaged 23 points and 12 rebounds this season, pushing her career point total to 1,348 - third on the school’s all-time scoring list. “Maci is such a special player,” Trenton coach Kameron Cool said. “Her ability to change the game on both ends of the floor stands out. Some of the games that she had this year were just on another level. She had a historic year statistically for our school, but as impressive as her numbers CLASS 2 GIRLS Jaycee Graves 5-8 Sr. Nora Ford 5-6 sr. Graycen Prothero 5-5 sr. McKenzie Brockhoff 5-11 sr.

are, what stands out for Maci is that she’ll do anything she can to help our team win. She deserves every bit of recognition she gets.” Whitaker averaged 7.7 points and three assists per game, but made a name for herself on the defensive end of the floor over her career. She routinely drew opposing teams’ top scoring threats in Trenton’s man-to-man defense. Like Moore, Whitaker was a unanimous first team selection to the All-GRC team and earned a spot on the KMZU Dream Team. “Lexi did so much for our team,” Cool said. “The energy she brought and her

ability to make dynamic plays was impressive. She’s one of the greatest athletes we have ever had at Trenton and I’m excited that her hard work in basketball paid off by leading our team to another successful year and also gaining individual recognition.” For Whitaker, the honor will be one of her last on the basketball court as she will graduate in May before a collegiate track and field career at Northwest Missouri State. Moore, meanwhile, will return for her senior season next year to make a run at the top spot on the school’s all-time scoring list.

Sports Briefs... IIOC Considers s Po ostpo oning Olymp pics s LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — The IOC will take up to four weeks to consider postponing the Tokyo Olympics amid mounting criticism of its handling of the coronavirus crisis that now includes a call for delay from the leader of track and field, the biggest sport at the games. The IOC is planning meetings with Japanese public authorities, global sports officials, broadcasters and sponsors that will deal with scenario planning for the Olympics, which are scheduled to start July 24. Canceling the games is not under consideration. The Canadian Olympic Committee says it won't send athletes to the Tokyo Games unless they're postponed for a year, becoming the first country to threaten such a move.

avoid credit losses. It has been using money from a Treasury fund to offset any losses on its loans. That fund, the Exchange Stabilization Fund, has already committed most of that money to the Fed's existing facilities. The congressional legislation could boost that amount by $500 billion. “The steps announced today, combined with the previous ones ... should substantially improve market functioning and should provide some important support for the economy,� said Roberto Perli, a former Fed economist who is now head of global policy research at Cornerstone Macro. But Perli cautioned that the benefits won't be felt immediately. "The next couple of quarters will still be probably bad,� he said. The new programs announced Monday by the Fed include two that will buy corporate debt issued by large companies. The Fed legally can't lend directly to companies. But it can lend to separate entities, which can then make those purchases. One program will buy newly issued corporate debt. This is an effort to revive that market, which has effectively come to a standstill. The second will buy previously issued corporate debt. Both programs will include $10 billion provided by the Treasury to offset any losses. A third new lending program will buy securities backed by packages of auto loans, credit card loans and some small business loans. Lending in those areas hinges on the ability of banks to package those loans into securities and sell them. So the Fed's move is critical to the ability of banks to continue to provide these loans as the economy falters. The Treasury will also provide $10 billion to that program to offset any losses. All told, those three programs can lend up to $300 billion. The Fed said that companies “that are expected to receive direct financial assistance under pending federal legislation" are not eligible to participate in the corporate lending programs — a reference to the airline industry and perhaps others under consideration. Companies will have to be rated at investment grade, or above junk level, to be eligible for lending. The companies can defer payments for up to six months, the Fed said. If they do suspend payment, they are not allowed to buy back their shares or pay dividends, it said. The Fed also said it will soon establish a “Main Street Business Lending Program� to support lending to small and medium-sized businesses. But it provided few details and didn't say when that program would begin. That program will likely be funded by and is intended to complement the congressional stimulus legislation, which also includes a provision to provide financing to very small companies. The Fed's Main Street program will target medium-sized businesses, officials said. Brusuelas noted that by announcing the Main Street lending program, the Fed had committed to something before a congressional backstop was in place, a virtually unheard-of step. “You're never going to see that again, hopefully,� he said.

The North 65 Center has suspended serving meals on site, but is offering a "grab and go" option for persons over the age of 60 who would like a meal and would be able to pick it up. Administrator Karen Otto said persons can call the center the day before (3593058) to schedule a meal, which can then be picked up the next day between 11 a.m. and noon. A contribution of $4 is being suggested to help pay for the food. The service would be available Monday through Friday. The center will continue home delivery in the city limits of Trenton as normal at this time, but may soon re-evaluate that situation and change deliveries to two days a week. However, the same number of
meals a client receives would still be delivered, just over a two-day period. At this time, the center has waived "homebound" from the requirement of individuals age 60 and over receiving a home-delivered meal. Persons who qualify can call the center to have meals delivered. A $4 per meal contribution is also suggested for this service. Serve Link Home Care, Edward Jones and Grand River Mutual offices have been closed, however, staff will be available to provide services via telephone and other media.

ACROSS MISSOURI
Virus Concerns Lead To ‘Public’ Meetings Without The Public JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — First, Oklahoma lawmakers excluded the public from the Capitol because of coronavirus concerns. Then with the public gone, lawmakers made an emergency change to the state's open-meetings law to let all governmental entities meet via video or teleconference, so long as people can watch or listen remotely. Across the U.S., numerous governors, lawmakers, mayors and county officials have made similar decisions to keep the public away from public meetings — all for the sake of public health. Ironically, the sudden policy shift has played out during the annual observation of “Sunshine Week,” a seven-day period intended to highlight the importance of open-government policies. “Public participation in our democracy is really fundamental to the health of our democracy," said David Snyder, executive director of the First Amendment Coalition, a Californiabased nonprofit that promotes government transparency. "I think government agencies need to be very careful not to unduly restrict the public’s ability to see what government is doing and, maybe more importantly, to participate in what the government’s doing,” he said. On Friday, 132 state and national groups backing open-government policies released a joint statement urging officials at all levels of gov-
ernment to “not retrench” from their duties for public involvement because of the coronavirus. “Government bodies should not opportunistically take advantage of the public’s inability to attend large gatherings to make critical decisions affecting the public’s interest if those decisions can reasonably be postponed,” the statement said. All U.S. states require open government meetings. Some mandate that a majority of government officials be physically present to meet. Others already allow officials to meet by video or phone, with accommodations for the public to watch or listen from a designated room. Those mandates for in-person access have been suspended or ignored as an increasing number of governments have instructed people to stay home and avoid public gatherings to help prevent the spread of the virus that causes the COVID-19 disease. The move toward seclusion has posed some practical and technological challenges. When the Oklahoma Senate passed a bill this week authorizing public bodies to hold teleconference or video meetings through March 1, 2021, open-government advocates couldn't enter the closed Capitol to voice their concerns about the duration of the emergency rules. Andy Moore, executive director of Freedom of Information Oklahoma, had been watching a live stream of

HELPING THOSE WHO SERVE According to the World Health Organization, the COVID-19 outbreak is officially considered a pandemic. What most people refer to as Coronavirus is now affecting nearly every country on Earth, and growing every day here in the United States. Unfortunately, a lot of misinformation has made its way into the public. I would like to give you a few tips on how to stay safe as this virus continues to make its unwelcome presence known. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has some basic tips for everyone. First, wash your hands often with soap and warm water for at least 20
seconds, especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing. Use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent alcohol. When using hand sanitizer, cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands. Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets and sinks. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you sneeze,
the legislative debate on his computer. He posted his objections on social media. A House member then got in touch with him via text, and the House passed a new version that shortened the remote meeting policy until Nov. 15. It worked out OK, Moore said, but “anything that kind of clamps down on the flow of information makes it more difficult for the public to stay involved.” Legislators in Maine and Tennessee also excluded the public from their buildings. South Carolina lawmakers asked lobbyists and visitors to stay away. The Pennsylvania House and Senate each voted to change their rules this past week to allow members to participate and vote remotely. And New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat, signed a bill Thursday letting the Legislature meet remotely using technology. Some open-government advocates worry that it may become harder for the remote-viewing public to interact with elected officials or fully understand what's going on. “Video conference meetings are great, but there’s really no substitute for physical presence," Snyder said. In Rhode Island, technical glitches frustrated some people trying to watch the first significant state meeting to be live-streamed after Democratic Gov. Gina Raimondo loosened the state's public meetings law. Those
or use the inside of your elbow. Avoid close contact with people who are sick. If you are sick, please stay home, except if you are going to the doctor. Our health care professionals are working hard to find a vaccine for this virus. These are trying times, but with the right information, we can help protect ourselves against this. I also want to mention, because of the Coronavirus outbreak, the Missouri Senate has cancelled session for both the weeks of March 16 and 23. That said, my staff and Senate staff will be working remotely in order to handle any questions or concerns you may have during that time. As always, please feel free to call, email or write with your ideas or concerns.

following the Board of Elections via the agency's Facebook page complained that the feed froze. The Rhode Island chapters of Common Cause and the American Civil Liberties Union said Friday that governmental bodies meeting virtually should be required to pause their proceedings if the video or audio stream is interrupted. They also said all documents discussed should be shared online in advance of the meeting. In Waterville, Maine, the city solicitor warned Thursday that a new panel formed to address the coronavirus had been illegally meeting in secret and making decisions, including to suspend the city's plastic bag ban. Sigmund Schutz, a lawyer for MaineToday Media, told the state attorney general’s office that urgent guidance is needed for compliance with the Freedom of Access Act. Restrictions on public meetings have been implemented without resistance in some states. But Republicans in Michigan objected to actions by Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. Her order temporarily allows public bodies to conduct their meetings electronically, by phone or video conference, as long as they allow public access and participation. “Older Michiganders are most at risk during these times. They are also the least likely to have the technology necessary to access public meetings electronically,” Senate Majority
Leader Mike Shirkey said. “In a time of crisis, citizens should have more access to their elected officials, not less.” Critics said Shirkey's comments were hypocritical. Michigan is one of two states that wholly exempt both legislators and the governor's office from disclosing communications and other information to the public. Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, a Republican, published a legal opinion saying public meetings could be conducted remotely as long as there was plenty of notice and a means for the public to observe. He suggested that public bodies provide technical support for people who have difficulty dialing in to a phone conference or watching a video conference. “Transparency is the core of legality,” Brnovich wrote. “Throughout any circumstance, the government must remain accountable to the people.” Daniel Bevarly, executive director of the National Freedom of Information Coalition, said he understands the need to restrict access to meetings during the coronavirus pandemic. If governmental bodies continue to livestream their meetings even after reopening their doors, the current crisis ultimately could lead to long-term benefits, he said. “This is an opportunity for us to reexamine this whole public engagement in a digital world," Bevarly said.
Residents In Missouri’s Biggest Cities Ordered To Stay Home ST. LOUIS (AP) — Residents of Missouri's biggest cities have been ordered to stay home to help slow the spread of the coronavirus, which sickened nearly 130 people statewide, including at least five people linked to a suburban St. Louis preschool. The shelter-in-place order in St. Louis took effect Monday, a day before such orders were set to be enforced in the Kansas City and St. Joseph areas. The orders call for residents to remain in their homes unless they have a vital reason to go out, such as to go to the grocery store or pharmacy. COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus, had sickened 128 Missouri residents as of Sunday, which was up from 75 on Saturday. Three people have died. Four teachers and the parent of a student at a preschool in the St. Louis suburb of Creve Couer were among the latest to catch the disease. There also was evidence in St. Louis County of “community-spread," in which it's not clear how an infected person contracted the virus and its origin can't be traced. Meanwhile, CoxHealth's president and CEO,
Steve Edwards, urged Greene County and the City of Springfield to order stricter isolation requirements, the Springfield News-Leader reported. "In an epidemic we are generally making decisions two (weeks) behind (given the incubation period)," he tweeted Saturday. “By this time in about 7-10 days COVID will be endemic and our hospitals will start to fill. Act right now!” For most people, the coronavirus causes only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia. Efforts to keep the public safe proved challenging. The Kansas City International Airport said in a Facebook post that several hand sanitizer dispensers had been ripped off the wall in restrooms and that it won't be able to purchase replacements for months. “Acts like this impact many people," the post said. We are doing all we can to protect the health of our customers."

DOWN 1 Buildup on old cheese
Dear Annie: I'm an older gent who has been doing weight training for years. I was walking down the beach one day, wearing my swimsuit, and a young lady approached on a bicycle from the opposite direction. She pointed toward me, and I turned to look at the water thinking the dolphins that had been swimming close to shore were back. She said, "No, you!" Wow. I was blown away. That unsolicited compliment made me feel great the entire day. But it also rang a bell. Since then, I've started the practice of making appreciative comments, even to strangers, when they're deserved. "That's a really good color for you," or "Good form on that bicep curl" -- that sort of thing. The key is that the comment has to be legit. People know when they're being patronized. And guess what. It doesn't cost a dime and makes both parties feel better. -- Doesn't Cost a Dime Dear Doesn't Cost a Dime: It is interesting that right before you had this beautiful re-
alization of kindness, you saw dolphins. Dolphins structure their lives around a social group, called a "pod." They are said to communicate with the others in their pod by making sounds such as clicks and squeaks. You took this wave of kindness to heart and applied it to your life. It just goes to show that when we lead with kindness and see the good in others, others see the good in themselves and want to share it, and so on and so on. What a beautiful realization and ripple effect. And, yes, the comments have to be genuine. One of my favorite expressions is "One smile will get you two." I hope your letter encourages people to be kinder to one another, themselves and the animals that inhabit this beautiful Earth. Dear Annie: As the mother of three sons, I taught them that the thing that separates men from animals is the ability to write thank-you cards. I now have two grandchildren, and when they can write, I will expect to receive thank-you cards

from them. If not, then the phone call I will make will be to my sons to remind them of what they were taught. Writing in appreciation for what has been done for you is an additional gift to you, not the giver. Children are then taught to be thankful and not feel entitled. Grandparents should recognize that we are doing our grandchildren a favor when we support them in doing what is right just because it is right. -Indiana Mom and Grandmother Dear Indiana Mom and Grandmother: Congratulations on giving your sons, and now your grandchildren, the gift of gratitude. Showing appreciation does make both parties feel good. They can't help but feel more joy. As author and philanthropist Lynne Twist shared with Oprah Winfrey, "What you appreciate appreciates" -- one of my favorite quotes.

The Magic Kingdom goes silent Public health concerns have shut down the Happiest Place on Earth for the longest stretch ever. And that could mean a multi-billion dollar hit for Disney. The company said it would shut down Anaheim’s Disneyland and Orlando’s Disney World through the end of March amid public-health warnings about the spread of the coronavirus. Theme parks are the biggest division for the Disney empire, and the company has worked hard to keep them open no matter what. Over the past two decades, the longest shutdown was two days for
Disney World when Hurricane Irma hit in 2017. This shutdown could scoop $2 billion out of Disney profits if it goes longer than planned, analysts at J.P. Morgan said. Analysts generally expect the parks to reopen in April, but acknowledge a fair bit of uncertainty there. There is “no scenario in the past that gives us guidance as to how this will play out,” the analysts wrote. But other parts of the Disney kingdom may pick up some of the slack. Analysts at LightShed point out that streaming services, including Disney Plus, are likely to see bumps as more people stay home.
