A fire of unknown origin destroyed the Red Barn Wedding Venue and Event Center at 200 Iowa Blvd. on Saturday night. Grundy County Rural Fire Protection District Fire Chief Kenny Roberts said firemen were called out around midnight and found the structure fully engulfed upon arrival. The cause of the fire is undetermined, however, it is not believed to be suspicious in nature. The North Central Missouri College Foundation had held its “Pirates Ball” at the venue earlier in the evening and the last person had left the building around 10 p.m. Firemen were at the scene around two hours. Assisting the fire protection district were the Trenton Fire Department and the Grundy County Ambulance. The venue is owned by the Mike Cooksey family.

Two area meetings are scheduled in March to present information regarding changes in health care services for veterans.

The first meeting is for the public and will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. on Thursday, March 5 at the Grand River Multipurpose Center in Chillicothe. Veterans and their families are encouraged to attend and ask questions about the health care changes affecting veterans in the rural areas.

Service Officer Wayne Kleinschmidt said the changes being made by Veterans Administration will allow those in the rural area to be seen by a local VA certified health care provider rather than having to travel for their medical visits.

Under the changes, local visits to VA approved health care providers would be covered by veterans benefits, he said.

The Trenton meeting is for all area health care providers, physicians, billing specialists, etc. only and will be held from noon to 5 p.m. on Friday, March 13 at the Trenton First Baptist Church fellowship hall. That meeting will also focus on the changes in health care for veterans and the regulations in meeting those needs.

Kleinschmidt said a shuttle bus will be transporting veterans to the March 5 meeting in Chillicothe, leaving from the Joseph L. Norton VFW Post No. 919 parking lot. Persons wanting to reserve a ride are asked to call 359-2078.

The Grundy County Commission accepted a bid for a truck for the Road and Bridge Department during a special meeting held on Friday morning.

According to Grundy County Clerk Betty Spickard, the commission accepted a bid from Admiral Truck Sales of Grain Valley for a 2011 Ford F-350 utility truck. The bid, which was the only one received, was for $18,500 and was within the amount included in the 2020 budget. In addition, the commission signed a Flood Plain Management Ordinance and designated the emergency management director as the flood plain manager. The ordinance sets minimum performance standards for new construction or substantially improved structures within the flood plain.

The commission also announced that the recycling trailer is back on schedule and is currently located in Laredo.

When the North Central Missouri College men’s basketball team is at its peak, its defense is as good as any in the country.

Down the stretch in the NJCAA Division II Region 16 championship game, the Pirates were at their peak.

North Central limited St. Louis to just 24 second-half points, allowing the Pirates to come from behind and score their second-straight region 16 championship with a 74-64 victory on Saturday night. “Our defense leads to our offense and that’s where we are at our best,� North Central coach Jeremy Esry said. “If we can get stops and get out in transition, then we feel a lot more confident in ourselves.�

The Pirates jumped out to an early 8-0 lead in the game and were threatening to push their advantage to double digits, but St. Louis put the brakes on a North Central runaway. The

The score was a sharp contrast to the team’s regular season meeting back on Dec. 13, when Chillicothe defeated the Bulldogs 58-29 in Trenton. “The first time we played they rocked us by 30,� Trenton coach Kameron Cool said. “The game plan was to control the pace of the game, to be the team that made the decision when the ball moved and when the ball didn’t and I think that we did that.�

what they set out to, limiting possessions for Chillicothe and contesting every shot. The frustrated Hornets managed just five field goals in the first half as a result.

Trenton, meanwhile, let Moore work on the offensive end, taking time to ensure the best opportunity for its generational talent. She had five points in the first quarter, but really found her stride late in the first half.

Despite constant attention from two and, at times, three Chillicothe defenders, Moore hammered in six points in the paint while clearing boards on the other end to give Trenton a 17-13 halftime advantage.

North Central Women Bounced In Semifinals

Perhaps it was the game tipping off later than expected.

Maybe it was having two wins over Metropolitan in the regular season already in their pockets.

Whatever the reason, the North Central Missouri College women’s basketball team came out flat on Thursday night in the NJCAA-Division II Region 16 Tournament at Jefferson City. The slow start loomed large when the final buzzer sounded and the Pirates were a single point short, their season ending with a 60-59 loss to the Wolves.

North Central couldn’t get anything going in the opening quarter as Metropolitan raced out to a double-digit advantage. After trailing by 11 points 10 minutes into the contest, North Central was able to play a better stretch in the second, but still trailed 33-21 at the break.

North Central continued to struggle on the offensive end in the third quarter, but had the deficit cut to nine points entering the final frame. There the Pirates made their run, one that came up a single point shy of placing them in Saturday’s championship game. “Tonight was a tough one,�

Pirates’ coach Jenni Croy said. “We struggled in the first half to defend the three-point line and struggled to get into an offensive flow. I was proud of the fight we had in the fourth quarter, we just couldn’t finish the job.�

Kennedie Kieffer put up a double-double in the loss, leading North Central with 17

points and 12 rebounds. Lily Osborn added 15 points and Da’Briauna Bables added 10.

McKenzie McBee pulled down 10 rebounds in the loss.

North Central was hampered by Metropolitan throwing the focus of its defense on Kortlyn Rounkles. Rounkles was North Central’s leading scorer coming into the game and had burnt the Wolves for 24 and 18 points in the two regular-season meetings. She would be limited to just five points in the loss, however.

Despite the tough night, Rounkles’ overall season performance was recognized with a spot on the All-Region 16 first team. Osborn received second-team honors.

The Division I and Division II Region 16 Tournaments are running concurrently at Lincoln University in Jefferson City. Due to the two Division I contests preceding North Central’s match-up running late, the Pirates’ game with the Wolves was delayed by just

over 10 minutes.

The loss gave North Central a final record of 19-10 for the season, a drastic jump from the program’s 7-20 mark last year.

There is plenty of reason to believe North Central can take another step forward next year as the Pirates lose just two players to graduation in Bables and Dymeria Guillory. “This group is a competitive group and I’m proud of the work that they put in daily,�

Croy said. “I’m excited for our program with the players we have returning. We are disappointed in the ending, of course, but excited for the future.�

In addition to returning 63 points per game off this year’s roster, North Central has already landed three big-time commitments.

Hamilton’s Nora Ford, Norborne’s Kennedie Crowe and Braymer’s Jasmine Taylor have all signed national letters of intent to join the program next season.

Pirates’ Defense Spurs Comeback Moore Paces Trenton [PIRATES, from Page 2] Archers battled back as the Pirates weathered their toughest stretch of the night. A once eight-point lead had turned into a nine-point deficit by halftime as St. Louis led 40-31 at the break.

But North Central put the clamps on St. Louis in the second half, suffocating the Archers with its trademark defense. For about seven minutes of game time, St. Louis was stuck on 59 points.

The Pirates’ defense led to offense and North Central outscored the Archers 43-24 in the second half to roar back and lay claim to the region title. “We just had to stay in front of them,� Esry said. “We were gambling a little bit and (St. Louis) hit some good shots in the first half. In the second half we made them take tough jump shots over us and luckily they missed a lot of those. We were able to rebound it and run. We controlled the boards, which is good, and we just made them take tougher shots.�

Leading the way for North Central was Marty Jackson who had 18 points, seven rebounds and seven blocked shots. Jackson was named the Region 16 Player of the Year. “That’s the type of stuff Marty lives for is those big moments,� Esry said. “He is pretty confident in himself and he wants to go out there and prove himself every night. I think he has been doubted a lot in high school and even up

The North Central Missouri College men’s basketball team poses with the NJCAA Division II Region 16 championship plaque following a 74-64 victory over St. Louis on Saturday in Jefferson City. The region title was the Pirates’ second in a row after winning the program’s first such championship last year.

here a little bit with his size.

But for him to be confident in himself and go out and prove it is pretty cool to see. He is just a great kid and he always puts in the work so to see that work fulfill itself and for him to be recognized for it is pretty nice.�

TJ Babikir followed with 17 points and Atavian Butler had 10. The Pirates also got nine points off the bench from Damien Loyd.

Butler was named to the AllRegion 16 first team along with Jackson while Quinan Rieves and Babikir were both honored as second-team selections.

Jeremy Esry was named the Region 16 Coach of the Year, his second-straight honor.

The win pushed the Pirates to 26-3 overall on the season.

With the Region 16 title, North Central advances to the Central Plains District Championship. North Central will face the Region 2 champion on the road after hosting the district game last season.

Arkansas Mid-South, who North Central defeated to advance to the National Tournament last year, will face North Arkansas in the Region 2 title game today (Tuesday) at 7:30. “We came in right from day one with the mindset that we

wanted to get back to the national tournament and win a first-round game at the national tournament,� Esry said. “In order to do that we have to win our region, we have to win this upcoming district game and the guys have just been pretty much locked in all year.

It has been fun to see. We still have to push them as coaches, but there is a whole lot of player leadership and peer leadership. We really don’t have to get on them very much because they know their expectations.�

The district championship is scheduled for Saturday with tip time still to be determined.

[MOORE, from Page 2] own. “I just had to go off what the other players were doing, figuring out how to get open�

Moore said. “Once I did, I just took it all the way. It was hard, but I had Kendall (Crowley) there setting screens to help get me open.�

But the second half began with a 7-0 Chillicothe run, a monstrous stretch in a game that hinged so heavily on the defensive end. Moore tied the game with a three-pointer, Trenton’s first points of the half, and the two teams traded blows from that point.

Late in the third quarter, with Trenton clinging to a onepoint advantage, Jordan Hibner knocked down Chillicothe’s only threepointer of the game. It was a big one and Trenton would not lead again the rest of the way.

After trailing 28-24 entering the fourth quarter, Trenton twice closed the gap to three with possession. Both times Trenton came up empty on chances to tie the game. Chill-

icothe connected on 7-of-11 fourth quarter free throws to hold off Trenton, which got six more points from Moore over the final eight minutes, to seal the district championship.

Moore led all scorers in the game with 25 points. “Again I have said it before, (Maci) is the best player that I have ever coached,� Cool said. “She is such a competitor. She wanted that so bad and she did everything she could to try and get that win and battle for her team. Her teammates were looking for her and competing really hard as well. I am really proud of our girls.�

Behind Moore, Trenton got two points each from seniors Lexi Whitaker and McKayla Blackburn as well as sophomore Chandler Lynch. “(Whitaker and Blackburn) were great teammates,� Moore said. “They were always there to pick everyone up. They were just always there for us.�

With the loss, Trenton closed the season at 15-12 overall.

North Central Missouri College students in Missie Cotton’s Microcomputer Applications classes recently donated nonperishable items to the Grundy County Food Pantry as well as other local food pantries as part of the NCMC service learning cohort. Students counted, organized and inventoried the items, then created Excel spreadsheets of their giving.

Library Gets Tech Grant The Grundy County-Jewett Norris Library has received a technology mini-grant of $2,500 through the office of Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft.

The library will use the grant to replace cabling and a network switch that are at end of life to ensure technologybased library services are reliable, efficient and secure.

Technology mini-grants provide funding for eligible libraries to replace older equipment or purchase new equipment to improve library services. This equipment in-

cludes technology- and automation-related equipment, hardware and software, which are used to improve the library’s network infrastructure.

The Missouri State Library has approved a total of 106 grant applications for the 2020 fiscal year, totaling $781,441 in federal awards that the secretary’s office has distributed to libraries throughout Missouri. The grants are funded by the Library Services and Technology Act through the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services.

TRENTON REPUBLICAN-TIMES, DAILY, TRENTON, MO.

COMMUNITY Grran nite Wa are Iss Prrogram To opiic The Antique Study Club met on Friday, Feb. 21 at the home of Gayla Batson with 16 members present.

Robin Wilson presented the program on granite ware, which had its beginnings in the arly 1800’s. When the granite ware industry began, rivalry was fierce, with every company trying to outdo the other.

Most of the artisans were highly skilled and very secreive about their enameling process, which includes single or multiple coats of enamel being adhered to different metals with a high degree of heat o produce a glasslike finish.

Some of the metals used were ast iron, steel and aluminum.

Granite ware was often advertised as “pure, acid proof and strong in use� and could also be subjected to quick temperature changes with no ill effects. Most advertisements

made no mention of the chipping that could occur with rough handling. Many pieces were intended for utilitarian use. It was also less expensive than some kitchen wares of the time and added beauty and color to the surroundings.

Many pieces or sets of granite ware were sold as “trade pullers� or “profit makers,� consisting of a whole set at one price or a whole group of shapes at one low price for each piece. Some of the leaders of the industry were located in New York, St. Louis, Terre Haute, IN, Bellaire, OH, Sebring, OH and Sheboygan, WI. Today there are very few enameling companies here or abroad and most companies are phasing out enameled products in favor of items made with today’s new technologies.

Robin Mese erve ey Ho osts s Meetiing Nine members of the Southide Farm Club joined Robin Meservey at her home on Wednesday, Feb. 19 for their monthly lunch and meeting.

Following lunch, the meetng was called to order by President Sue Brewer. Roll all was answered with each member telling the date and where they were married.

Many also shared special remembrances of their wedding day.

Donations to the food pantry were collected and a “thinking of you� card was signed for Wallace and Jacky Mack. A eport on upcoming events of he Art’s Alive organization was given by Jeanie Gibson,

“A Word From...” by the Trenton Area Ministerial Alliance

Terri Cobb St. Philip’s Episcopal Church ASH WEDNESDAY AND THE SEASON OF LENT The Ash Wednesday service is a somber rite that initiates the season of Lent. Using the ashes of palms burned and blessed from the previous year’s Palm Sunday, the priest marks the sign of the cross on the foreheads of parishioners.

“Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return,” the priest says. The ashen crosses are a sign of penitence and reminder of our mortality.

Beginning on Ash Wednesday and ending on Holy Saturday (the day before Easter), the season of Lent spans 40 days, omitting Sundays. The 40 days of Lent relate to the 40 days Christ fasted and was tempted in the Wilderness. As written in the Episcopal Church’s Book of Common Prayer, all Christians are invited “to the observance of a holy Lent, by self-examination and repentance; by prayer, fasting, and self-denial; and by reading and meditating on God's holy Word."

Many people abstain from a habit or eating a favorite food during Lent. However, this abstention is not meant to be a physical self-improvement plan. It is meant to focus on

finding spiritual strength in God. It is a reminder of our reliance on God alone for our needs.

Another Lenten practice is to donate time and money to charity and community activities. Bible studies and prayer groups are also organized to assist with reflecting on God’s Word. Traditionally, it has been a time for those new to the church to attend classes prior to baptism or confirmation.

Lent is much like a journey where one walks with Jesus while seeking to understand what it means to be his disciple. Holy Week, the last week of Lent, is the most spiritually moving. It’s an emotional roller coaster as Jesus triumphantly arrives in Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, administers the Last Supper to his disciples on Maundy Thursday and is crucified on Good Friday.

Lent is introspective. It is a time for repentance, a time to turn to God and spiritually refocus. This season might sound morose but it isn’t. Lent teaches God’s love and mercy.

Ash Wednesday begins Lent with a reminder of our mortality, but the season ends with the joy of God’s gift of life and grace through our Risen Lord Jesus Christ.

Dear Annie: It will soon be my 40th birthday, and I'm feeling a tremendous amount of anxiety with this pending milestone event. Intuitively, I understand that it is an arbitrary number. My body feels the same as it did yesterday, and nothing appears to be changing. However, emotionally, it feels like everything is changing. And I feel that when I wake up on my birthday, all will change, suddenly.

I also know that when I crossed these milestones previously, nothing was different.

Yet, even as I recognize these realities, I can't stop fretting over the aging process. I'm losing sleep worrying about it, and it occupies my thoughts constantly. This has been ongoing for a few months now.

What can I do to settle my mind? How can I become confident as I age? I need your help! -- Fretting the Next Day Dear Fretting: First, and most importantly, happy birthday! As we age, most people become anxious about adding one more year to our age rather than enjoying the day as a way

to celebrate what we've accomplished and what's still ahead.

No one can avoid aging, but it's important to remember that each new year enables us to experience life in new ways and to grow. Aging gives us opportunities to spend with family and friends, to meet friends, see new places, taste new foods and on and on.

Rather than looking anxiously toward the day, look excitedly toward the next experience and appreciate every little moment.

The summation of these memories will create a rich and well-lived life. Also, remember that your birthday is a very special day that your parents want to celebrate. Your birth marked an extraordinary experience in their lives.

Dear Annie: This is a few months too late, but in response to the many letters about sending out Christmas cards, I'd like to share my experience. A couple of years ago, my husband was experiencing some ill health during the Christmas season. It was a very difficult time that we

were going through, and I was unable to send our Christmas cards as I had done for so many previous years.

Instead, with the help of my computer and email, I created a beautiful e-card, complete with holiday pictures copied and pasted from the internet.

These cards can be as creative as one wishes by using family pictures or any other holiday decor. Just add a thoughtful message/greeting, along with your love and wishes for blessings for them in the New Year.

Now, I quickly am able to "send" greetings to all on my card list in no time at all. I've done this with birthdays, too. Many of your readers might enjoy "sending" their cards in this way. It's fun and SO easy! -- Mary, Florida Dear Mary: Sometimes, all it takes to make a frustrating situation easier is to look at it from a different angle. In this case, you were willing to untraditionally maintain a tradition by stepping outside your comfort zone, sitting down at your computer and creating an e-card that shared your appreciation for your loved ones -no stamps required! And best of all, you were able to spend more time with your husband while he was ill. Thank you for sharing.

Incyte Corp.’s profit quadrupled last year amid rising sales for its drug Jakafi, for treating bone marrow disorders and transplant-related problems.

The pills, which retail for over $13,000 a month, brought Incyte $1.9 billion in 2019.

Now, it’s testing a cream version to treat eczema, a condition that causes dry, itchy skin prone to infections from scratching, and vitiligo, a condition causing whitish skin patches.

Biotech analyst Christopher Marai, of Nomura Instinet, thinks the cream’s moneymaking potential is underappreciated. Two recent studies suggest it

works better than a rival eczema treatment.

Analysts surveyed by FactSet expect the cream to go on sale late next year, with annual sales surpassing $700,000 by 2023.

Incyte also has two cancer drugs that could get approved this year. One of them could have sales topping $800,000 by 2025, Marai forecasts.

Last week, Marai raised his 12-month stock price target to $116 per share — slightly more than midway between its all-time high in 2000 and current $75.41 price.

He considers the price attractive after two drug test failures drove shares down.

“The fundamentals of the company remain strong,” Marai says.
