WHEN YOU’RE ON YOUR OWN, WE ARE THERE WITH YOU
W
hatever happens, whenever it happens, your newspaper will be there for you. We’ll be there to let you know how our community is managing through this crisis — from business to government to the health care system and schools to the drastic impact on individuals and families. And we’ll be there to let you know about the good and extraordinary things happening in the midst of this crisis — the health workers putting themselves in harm’s way to care for the sick, the individuals who continue to report to work for jobs deemed too essential to society, the volunteers bringing food to elderly people who cannot leave their homes, and the
school districts working to ensure their students don’t go hungry even if they don’t go to the classroom. Amidst the sadness and anxiety, there are uplifting moments that remind us of the resilience of the human spirit, and we’ll be there to document those too. Missouri Gov. Mike Parson said the timeline for the future of coronavirus in Missouri will be measured in months, not days or weeks, and it will put a strain on the state’s people and economy. “We’ve got a lot of days we gotta go through,” the governor said recently. “This is just the beginning. We’re two or three months, at a bare minimum, that we’re going to have to deal
with this issue.” But we will be here to help you make sense of this pandemic and its effect on our community. Having fact-based, reliable reporting that provides public scrutiny and oversight is more important than ever. Together, across the decades, this newspaper and its readers have navigated horrific events — natural disasters, terrorism, financial downturns, periods of extreme political and societal division. This challenge is greater than any of those, but, rest assured, we’ll be here for you. Missouri is a resilient state where people come together to build and rebuild. Let’s stick together, and we will come through this, too.

Still No Reported Positive Cases In Grundy County
Trenton R-9 Announces School Remains Closed Until April 27 There will be no classes in the Trenton R-9 School District until at least Monday, April 27. Superintendent Mike Stegman announced on Monday that concerns about COVID-19 have resulted in a decision to extend the closure for another four weeks. In a letter to staff, students and parents, Stegman said he is concerned this will not be the last extension, but that the district will continue monitoring the situation and will provide updates as soon as any additional information is known. Grundy County superintendents were scheduled to meet on Monday afternoon with health department officials to discuss the situation and make any additional plans that may be needed. Stegman said the district will continue to provide enhancement materials and ask that students and patrons continue to email teachers with questions and needs regarding the materials available. At the high school level, where credits are attached to classes, Stegman said the district will be working with individual students to assure they have the appropriate opportunities to receive the academics needed to move to the next level. High school students who are taking dual credit classes will continue with those classes online in accordance with the college with which the course is attached. “We will continue with the protocols we established at the beginning of this pandemic,” Stegman said.
All school buildings will remain closed, all extracurricular events, practices and use of Trenton R9 property for social gatherings have been cancelled or postponed. Buildings will remain locked down during this time period as well as no one is to enter the facilities without prior authorization from Stegman or administrators Kasey Bailey, high school; Daniel Gott, middle school; Tiffany Otto, elementary school; and Tara Hoffman, director of special services. Staff and patrons needing to pick up items from the facilities must first contact their building administrator to make arrangements to enter the building. Office hours for administrators will vary in each building, but administrators can always be reached by email. The district office will remain open from 8 a.m. to noon each day. Meals for youth up to 18 years of age living in the school district will continue to be provided during this time, Monday through Friday. Orders can be called into the district at 359-4643 between the hours of 8 to 9:30 a.m., with pickup between 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Stegman recognized the cooks and administrators for their efforts in providing meals to students as well as the custodians who came in last week to disinfect the school facilities. He also thanked teachers and counselors who are developing the enhancement materials for students, which he said have “truly been amazing in their efforts to get us through this very

unique time.” Stegman also addressed students who are missing out on activities that usually occur at this time, in particular those events involving seniors. “Over my 36 years in public education, I have always appreciated the variety of activities that come year in and year out,” he said. “Losing out on any of those must be devastating to you. I will promise you that we will consider this when the pandemic passes. I cannot promise we can replace all of them, but we will do what we can to substitute the events we can. Hang in there; you are our future and you will learn many lessons from this time of unrest.” Other Grundy County school districts have not announced if they plan to extend their closing date. Livingston County school districts on Friday announced they would remain out of classes until April 27, including the Chillicothe R-2 and Tri-County R-7 at Jamesport schools. Meanwhile, Grundy County continues to have no reported positive COVID-19 cases. Cases were reported over the weekend in both Livingston and Harrison counties, with both individuals affected currently being self-quarantined in their homes. Beginning, March 31, the health department will no longer be open for walk-in services. Birth and death certificates, children’s immunizations nd WIC See Covid-19, Page 4
Area Residents Using Sewing Skills by Diane Lowrey R-T Editor With the COVID-19 virus keeping residents homebound and away from family and friends, many have been looking for productive ways to use the time they would normally be spending elsewhere. The recent call by health care providers for medical masks has prompted two area women to put their sewing skills to work. Chris Ropp and her mother, Lena Cooksey have spent much of the past weekend making the masks that are being used by health care providers both locally and in the Kansas City area. The project began with a request from former Laredo resident Dr. Amy Sawyer Brose, a family practitioner at a Liberty clinic who Mrs. Ropp also babysat as a child. “We’ve (my mother and I) been wanting to do something and I saw Amy’s post on Facebook, saying that her clinic was in need of medical supplies, including masks,” Mrs. Ropp said. “I called Amy’s mother (Patty Sawyer) and she told me that Amy’s clinic was down to one homemade and one bought mask, so we knew this is what we needed to do.” Both women do a lot of sewing, so material for the mask was not an issue. It was coming up with the other parts of the mask that proved more challeng-
ing, especially with others making them as well. The women were able to make 45 masks on Friday for Dr. Brose’s clinic, using elastic for the earpieces as well as standard wiring for the nosepieces. But when it came time to make the second batch for Sunnyview Nursing Home, some of those materials were nowhere to be found. “We had to get very resourceful,” Mrs. Ropp said. That resourcefulness came in the form of rubber bands, which replaced the elastic earpieces and “worked quite well,” she said. Speaker wiring replaced the regular wiring around the nosepiece. “We also looked at doing something different with the filter pieces,” she said, noting coffee filters that were being used also became hard to come by. The women replaced the filter with a fabric that would normally be used in between the panels of a potholder. Mrs. Ropp said she and her mother completed 50 masks on Sunday that were to be taken to Sunnyview on Monday. And, if supplies are available, the women plan to continue making more for other health care providers in need. Other individuals are using their time and sewing skills to make masks as well.

RECRUITING PITCH North Central Adds Pitching Depth, Speed North Central Missouri College softball coach Steve Richman would love to be coaching softball right now. But in these times, that is not feasible. So Richman has turned his attention to next year, trying to rebuild a roster that was depleted once the season officially ended. Only three of the 13 Pirates on this year’s roster will return next year, leaving Richman with a lot of work to do in building next season’s lineup. “Part of the high turnover is that we had such good kids,� Richman said. “When I say good kids, they already had 30-some (college credit) hours coming in, so they really only had one year. You might look at it and say ‘what’s going on, all these kids leaving?’ It’s not because they want to, it’s because they have to. We have graduation for some of them and then freshman graduation for the others.� With who Richman had already signed in the fall and what he has done since, the Pirates have 16 new players coming in next season. Needless to say, the team will have a vastly different look than it did this year. In the group of 16, almost half are players capable of pitching for the Pirates. In the 12-game sprint that ended up being the 2020 season for North Central, it became obvious the team lacked pitching depth. North Central pitchers combined to go 83 with a 3.30 ERA and 51 strikeouts in the 12-game stretch. But just two pitchers made up 66 of the 70 innings tossed for the Pirates. So with this class, Richman sought out as many arms as possible and landed several, including local talents McKayla Blackburn of Trenton and Sammi Bradshaw of Putnam County. “I think we got a really good recruiting class,� Richman said. “Where we were, not weak as in individuals, but weak in depth, was pitching this year. We had two solid pitchers and then we had a girl who was a spot pitcher for us. So we had three who could throw, but that was probably our weakness - pitching depth. So we went out and got six or seven girls who can throw in this class.� The Pirates will also look to be a quicker team next season, adding some speed to a team that stole just 11 bases in

12 games. Of the 11 steals, over half of bags swiped came from Jacqueline Gentzell, who will graduate as a sophomore in May. “We were a hit-and-go, 60 feet-type team,� Richman said. “We built a little more around speed this year. We have three or four or five girls who can stretch singles into doubles pretty easily and steal bases.� The new recruits will get a chance to acclimate to the game at the junior college level in the fall scrimmage season. North Central traditionally plays a handful of games in the fall to allow incoming players to adjust to the next level of play. With 16 freshmen slated to be on the roster, the Pirates’ fall season has never been more important. “(The fall scrimmage season) is going to be key,� Richman said. “For the kids, it is a wake-up call for a lot of them. For our sophomores, the three that we do have coming back, it is a chance for them to really become leaders and lead these young kids through. It’s learning that the pitching
is going to be different, the hitting is going to be different. All that is going to be a challenge for 16 new kids.� The three players returning for North Central next year are Morgan Brown, who was the Pirates number-one starting pitcher this year; Jaele Barber, who led the Pirates with 18 RBIs in the 12 games they played; and Maycee Edgar, who is coming off a knee injury that kept her from playing this spring. In addition to Blackburn and Bradshaw, North Central’s class includes Abby Dobbins of Brunswick, Ali Hatch of Lawson, Audrey Elifrits of East Buchanan, Casey Stout of Kingsville, Erica Sandoval of Lee’s Summit, Katy Salisbury of Putnam County, Kaycia Williamson of St. Joseph Lafayette, Kori Hornaday of Putnam County, Lacie Lewis of Princeton, Lindsey Batson of Princeton, Madi Cole of Excelsior Springs, Madison Cowman of St. Joseph Central, Rylee Sensenich of Brookfield and Shelby Shroyer of Excelsior Springs.

The St. Joseph News-Press has released its annual AllNews-Press Now winter sports teams and Trenton had three athletes honored. Maci Moore was a first team selection on the girls basketball team while Mark Trump was the 182-pound wrestler on the boys wrestling team and Libby Fewins was the 166-pound wrestler on the girls wrestling team. The publication only had one wrestling team each for boys and girls. For Moore, the honor was the latest in a long line of postseason awards that included being named the KMZU Dream Team Class 3 Player of the Year. She was also given unanimous first team AllGrand River Conference honors and was an All-Northwest
District pick by the Missouri Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association. Moore was joined on the first team by Maryville’s Serena Sundell, who was named the area player of the year by the News-Press; St. Joseph Central’s Ella Moody, who was the City Player of the Year; and Lilly Schilling and Gracie Kelsey, both of Class 2 state champion East Buchanan. Trump became a three-time state qualifier in his senior season and captured a fifth-place state medal to close out his career for the Bulldogs. He was a district runner-up and the 182-pound champion at the Grand River Conference Tournament. Trump finished the season at 41-9 and was 123-73 for his career at Trenton. Fewins, a senior, missed a trip to state this year, but advanced to the second day of the district tournament. She finished the season with a 206 overall record, the 20 wins leading the Bulldogs.
Sports Briefs... CChiefs Briingiing Back Robiinson KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs and wide receiver Demarcus Robinson have agreed to terms on a one-year deal that helps the reigning Super Bowl champions keep their top four receivers under contract heading into next season. Tyreek Hill has signed a long-term deal and Mecole Hardman is coming off a strong rookie season, while Sammy Watkins is in the fold for next season but may be asked to restructure his hefty contract or take a pay cut in the coming days. The NFL Network was first to report Sunday that Robinson was returning to the Chiefs. The 2016 fourth-round pick played mostly on special teams as a rookie but has seen his role steadily expand. He was the No. 2 option when Hill was hurt this past season, catching six passes for 172 yards and two touchdowns in a win over the Raiders, and finished the year with 32 catches for 449 yards and four scores.

(AP) — NASCAR's new normal resumed Sunday with another virtual event, the second in an iRacing series thrown together after the coronavirus pandemic stopped nearly all sports. NASCAR's 36-race season was suspended four events into the year. Timmy Hill won the virtual race at Texas Motor Speedway, where a highlight came when Daniel Suarez was parked by iRacing officials for intentionally trying — but failing — to crash Ty Dillon. Hill is considered among the top competitors in iRacing, a subscription-based gaming platform. His virtual victory was his 674th in the game.

NCMC Student Elected To Post North Central Missouri College student Calvin Basham has been elected as a vice president of the National Professional Agriculture Student Organization for the 2020-21 year. The son of Rob and Amy Basham of Cowgill, Calvin lives on a small cattle farm in Ray County. He is pursuing an associate in arts transfer degree at NCMC along with a crop production certificate. After completing his degree, he plans on transferring to Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, where he plans to obtain a bachelor's degree in agronomy and crop science. At NCMC, Calvin is a member of the Ag Club, Phi Theta Kappa and a Barton Mentor. He will also be completing an internship this summer with NRCS. As a member of the national officer team, Calvin will serve as a member of the PAS board of directors, plan and conduct the PAS national conference and represent the national PAS
organization at other local, state and national activities.

A-Plus Waives Algebra I The Algebra I end of course requirement for 2020 high school seniors in the Missouri A-Plus Program has been waived, including those who have already taken the exam but did not meet the requirement, as well as those who have not yet taken the exam. The waiver announcement was made on Friday by the Missouri Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development. Waiver of this requirement also exempts the 2020 seniors from having to meet the ACT math sub-
score/high school GPA alternative. Guidance issued last week outlined a reduced number of tutoring/mentoring hours and change in GPA for high school seniors, as well as a change in GPA requirement for renewal students. The changes to the department guidelines for A-Plus only apply to 2020 high school seniors. Additional guidance may be issued if it becomes necessary in this rapidly evolving situation.

WE CAN ALL LEARN FROM PSYCHOLOGY by Dr. Lindsay Oram Psychology Instructor There are probably a thousand reasons to study psychology. One stands out – it’s fascinating. Psychology courses look at important questions such as why do people act the way they do? How do we learn and change throughout our lives? How does culture influence our behavior? What motivates us? How do we learn? What contributes to the development of psychological disorders? If you are interested in a deeper understanding of the human mind Dr. Lindsay Oram you should consider studying psychology. Psychology courses at NCMC help lay the foundation for those interested in a psychology career. The information and skills learned also benefit students from many other degree programs. The Psychology Department at NCMC offers a range of courses to students. General Psychology is the most frequently taken course from the Psychology Department and is a great place to start. The course is offered fall, spring, and summer semesters in both online and on-ground formats. Besides meeting the Social and Behavioral Sciences requirement for many degree programs, the course content is important. For example, this course teaches students about human development, motivation, memory, learning theory, stress and stress reduction, personality, emotions, language and communication, social interactions, and decision-making. A General Psychology student commented, “I had no idea there was so much you could learn about the human mind. This class helped me learn why humans do what they do.� Once students have successfully completed General Psychology, there are several additional psychology options at NCMC. Human Growth and Development is a popular choice for students interested in learning more about how humans develop across the lifespan. Child Psychology is a course that focuses on psychological basis of child growth and development, with emphasis on the emotional, mental, physical, and social needs of childhood. This is a common choice among those interested in working with children. Social Psychology focuses on how individual behavior is impacted by societal influences. Abnormal Psychology discusses psychological disorders and treatments. It is an ideal course for anyone interested in working in the health professions, although certainly not limited to only those students. Several of these courses are offered on the Trenton campus, online, and at the North Belt Center. See the NCMC course schedule for availability each semester. Overall, the Psychology Department at NCMC has several options available for students at NCMC, whether or not they plan to pursue a career in psychology. If you have any questions about the psychology courses, please contact Dr. Lindsay Oram at loram@mail.ncmissouri.edu.

SBA urging quick approval of the governor’s request and I’m grateful that the request was approved on Saturday. If you are a small business owner and need to apply for a loan, visit https://disasterloan.sba.gov/. We’ve already seen examples of folks making a concerted effort to patronize small businesses in whatever way they can, whether by ordering take out or buying gift cards for later use. These are great ways to shop local and help out these Mom and Pop operations that will undoubtedly struggle through this - as long as you continue to social distance in the process. Obviously, those out of work are hurting as well. The bill that we passed last week, which President Trump signed into law, will give our workers the opportunity to use paid sick leave if they have to quarantine themselves due to a COVID-19 infection or need to care for a family member who is ill with the virus. The Families First Coronavirus Response Act provides temporary federal coverage for paid sick and family leave to all employers with fewer than 500 employees. This coverage is
provided using a tax credit for employers, so they aren’t shouldering the burden of paid leave either. The bill also provides additional assistance to states so those out of work due to COVID19 don’t face unnecessary delay in getting unemployment claims processed or receiving payments. Congress continues to look at additional ways we can help Americans get through this unprecedented time in our nation’s history. The number one priority continues to be slowing the spread of this virus. Please take the recommended precautions, for yourself and for others. If you are experiencing the symptoms of coronavirus - fever, shortness of breath and coughing - please contact your doctor so they can make a determination as to what you need to do next. This is unlike anything we’ve ever encountered. As COVID-19 progresses in our state, I continue to work with constituents to help them through anything they are encountering. If there is anything I can assist with or questions I can answer, please don’t hesitate to reach out to my office.

The imagination of Grundy County journalist and former Trenton Republican-Times rural news editor Sam Tolle resulted in a series of humorous articles focusing on “The Old Men’s Club,� an imaginary group of men from Galt whose peculiarities of speech and manner were the main focus of Tolle’s writings. The popularity of the articles led to the formation of an actual club of male residents, who gathered for this photo, which was recently given to a Wisconsin resident by relatives and shared with the Grundy County Museum. Tolle spent three years as a photographer before becoming a printer’s apprentice and eventually publisher of the Galt Sun. He also published a newspaper in Excelsior Springs before returning to Trenton as a partner in the Trenton Times. He later sold his interest in the Times and re-purchased the Sun, which he published until he discontinued the newspaper in the early 1920s. He rejoined the Times in 1925 as the rural news editor, continuing in that position when the Times consolidated with the Trenton Republican in 1927 (becoming the Republican-Times).

ACROSS MISSOURI
Legislatures Meet Remotely To Help Keep Public Safe JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. AP) — Members of the Arkansas House met in a colege basketball arena, spaced out among 5,600 seats, as they voted on ways to cover a budget shortfall caused by the oronavirus punch to the economy. When South Dakota lawmakers convene Monday to onsider 10 emergency bills, it won't be inside their familiar hambers. Instead, they will be peaking and voting via a video call system. This is not government as usual. In state capitols across the U.S., lawmakers have ditched decorum and sidestepped traditional public meeting requirements in a rush to pass egislation funding the fight against the coronavirus and aiding residents affected by the widespread shutdown of commerce. “Social distancing� mandates intended to slow the pread of the virus have upnded life for millions of Americans and also have led awmakers to scrap centuriesold rules about the way they onduct work. “It is an enormous shift, probably the biggest change to
Vermont’s democracy since we were founded as a state,� Democratic House Speaker Mitzi Johnson told reporters as the chamber adopted new rules for remote voting. Vermont lawmakers have voted with a verbal yes or no from assigned seats in a closely packed chamber. That changed this past week, when they adopted an emergency rule allowing members to spread out through the visitors' galleries to keep a germ-safe distance from each other. The next time they are in full session, Vermont lawmakers will be spread out through the entire state, testing a stillto-be-designed remote voting system. The state experiments are meant to slow the spread of the virus that causes the COVID19 disease so hospitals won't become overwhelmed with a sudden surge of patients. The ill include several members of Congress and lawmakers in numerous states. At least six state lawmakers have tested positive in Georgia, one of nearly two dozen states that have halted or ended their sessions because of coronavirus concerns. As of Sunday, the virus has

infected more than 700,000 people and killed at least 33,000 worldwide, according to a count kept by Johns Hopkins University. The U.S. has about 136,000 cases, more than any other country. Health officials say that for most people, the virus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks. But for some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness and become fatal. Younger adults also are susceptible to the disease, and some become seriously ill. As legislatures have adapted their rules to the new public health precautions, the public has at times been left out. Legislative members, staff and media had to pass a body temperature test and an oral quiz about whether they had any COVID-19 symptoms to enter the House session held at the basketball arena of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. But the general public wasn't allowed inside, instead settling for an online broadcast. The Senate, meeting in the Capitol, followed similar procedures. Minnesota's legislative proceedings typically are both open to the public and livestreamed. But House members used a series of private conference calls, instead of public committee hearings, to develop a $330 million coronavirus response bill that was
swiftly approved Thursday. Legislative leaders said the unusual procedures were intended to safeguard public health. Such actions also can damage the public's trust in government, said Jane Kirtley, a professor of media ethics and law at the University of Minnesota's School of Journalism and Mass Communication. “If you do things in secret, there’s a perception that something nefarious is going on, and this is not a time when our governments need to be creating that possibility in people’s minds,� Kirtley said. Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman said she gets “a little crispy around the edges� at suggestions that Minnesota's process wasn't open. Even though there were no public hearings, she said people deluged lawmakers with messages that were “incredibly helpful� in shaping the legislation. The U.S. House of Representatives looked into the possibility of remote voting so representatives wouldn't have to fly to Washington on Friday to pass a $2.2 trillion stimulus package. But a House Rules Committee staff report concluded there were too many concerns about its legality, practicality and security from cyber attacks. The House instead passed the legislation by voice vote, avoiding an in-person roll call. In Pennsylvania this week,
most House members took advantage of new rules to stay away from the chamber as they passed legislation delaying the state's primary elections because of coronavirus concerns. Remote lawmakers messaged or emailed their intended votes to designated colleagues at the Capitol, who told them to a clerk, who entered them into the chamber's voting system. Ohio lawmakers altered both their attire and location this past week as they approved emergency coronavrius legislation extending absentee voting and tax deadlines, allowing distance learning for schools and letting recent nursing graduates immediately starting working. House members were assigned to eight separate rooms during deliberations to comply with social distancing, then walked briefly onto the House floor to cast a voice vote. Many of the senators who came to the Capitol dressed informally after Republican Senate President Larry Obhof discouraged business attire, “which is cleaned less frequently than casual clothing.� Prior to the coronavirus outbreak, the South Dakota Legislature already had rules allowing lawmakers to dial into meetings by phone, but those were designed for committees that meet outside the regular legislative session. The full House and Senate will meet Monday by video conference, live-streamed for
the public, with only a few members gathered in two Capitol rooms to try to comply with the rules. The state constitution isn't clear if that's allowed, but “we’re just out of options,� said Republican Senate Majority Leader Kris Langer. Some legislatures have decided it's better to remain shut down than to try to sidestep state constitutional requirements to vote in person amid coronavirus concerns. Missouri Gov. Mike Parson had suggested lawmakers could meet “on a football field� or “out here on the parking lot� of the Capitol, if necessary, to abide by social distancing while passing a bill authorizing coronavirus spending. But Senate Majority Leader Caleb Rowden, a Republican, said legislators will convene in April and vote in their chambers. Colorado lawmakers are delaying Monday's scheduled return to session and have ruled out remote meetings as an impractical move that would deny the public a chance to testify in committee hearings “The important work being done at the Capitol depends on both legislators and the public,� said Democratic Senate Majority Leader Steve Fenberg. "We feel that it is in the best interest of all Coloradans to recess the session until citizens can safely participate in their democracy,�

he write down his thoughts and feelings. He could do this in private, when he's alone and not feeling put on the spot. Then either he or his therapist could read these notes during the following session. - Not Good on the Spot Dear Annie: I'm responding to "Unable to Open Up," who asked how to maximize the value of the help of a therapist if he couldn't open up. My suggestion is this: Try keeping a journal. Get a looseleaf notebook that is specially dedicated to holding your thoughts and feelings related to your "buried anger" or any thoughts and feelings you have difficulty sharing. When you get a glimmer of one of those thoughts and feelings, write down as much as you can about it. Ask it questions. Get really calm and quiet and listen for answers. Perhaps go for a walk and listen for answers on the walk. Then write down what you hear. Read what you have written. You may want to add an additional thought or reflection.

Dear Annie: I understand what "Unable To Open Up" is saying. I was never able to communicate with my parents. It carried over into my marriage and caused problems. My suggestion is for him to write down his thoughts and feelings before he meets with the counselor. I have found that I can put thoughts into words on paper better than I can communicate verbally with someone. Then he can hand her what he has written and they can go from there. Hope this helps. -Been There, Done That Dear Been There: A great many readers suggested that writing down his feelings would be helpful for "Unable to Open Up." Here are two more letters with similar suggestions. Dear Annie: This is regarding "Unable to Open Up," the man has a difficult time opening up to his therapist about his feelings. It's very hard for me to open up, too. I can always write about my thoughts and feelings a lot better than talking about them. A suggestion would be that

page. Put it in your notebook. Keep doing this over a period of time, say, a month. Then look over what you have written. See if there are any items you would like to shine more light on. Jot those on a list. Then keep your eyes open for answers to the questions you raise. When you get an answer, jot that down on a separate page. It might be a change in behavior or attitude. Write it down clearly and start practicing it. Your psyche is like an onion. As you write about one layer and put that in the notebook, it will release energy for the next layer. Soon, you'll have a collection of wisdom and guidance that will free you up to share, perhaps with your spouse, a friend or a therapist. I have seen this work hundreds of times. Write down what scares you, and describe it as clearly as you can. Gradually, that gets it out of your psyche so you can begin to make friends with it, learn what it needs and give it that. I hope you try this and communicate the results to Annie. -Working on an Intensive Journal Dear Working: You make many great suggestions for uncovering our feelings, slowly and powerfully. Thank you.

The global coronavirus outbreak is fueling demand for delivery services. One of the winners could be British online supermarket Ocado. Ocado pioneered online food delivery with high-tech warehouse robots and licensed its technology to other grocers such as Kroger’s. Last week it said sales in the three months to March 1 rose 10% compared with a year ago, in line with its guidance and largely before panic buying started.

has doubled over the previous quarter, the company said. Heavy traffic from customers trying to place big orders and avoid bricks-and-mortar grocers crashed the company’s website and app. Ocado was forced to stop accepting new customers and take its app offline. It faced criticism for putting shoppers arriving at its website in a virtual hours-long queue. The problem, executives said, is they can’t massively increase capacity at three automated distribution centers to keep up with demand.

One woman was transported by the Grundy County Ambulance Service following an accident March 26 at the intersection of 17th Street and Harris Avenue. The accident was investigated by Trenton Police Det. Jerry Smith, whose report indicated the mishap occurred when a car driven by Browning resident Connie F. Nickell was westbound on 17th Street when it was struck by a car driven by Darlie A. Ricketts of Trenton, with moderate damage to both vehicles. According to the report, Ms. Ricketts had been northbound on Harris Avenue and failed to yield at the yield sign, attempting to continue northbound across 17th Street to continue on Harris Ave. Ms. Ricketts was transported to Wright Memorial Hospital, where she was treated for her injuries and released. She was issued a citation for failing to yield at a yield intersection. Trenton Police Officer Luke Dapra investigated an accident March 20 at the intersection of Main and Eighth streets. According to his report, the mishap occurred when a car driven by Mary A. Simpson of Trenton was northbound on Main Street and began turning west onto Eighth Street, cross-
ing the center line of the roadway. She then realized she had made a wrong turn and turned north to get back into the northbound lane of Main Street. She did not realize that a van driven by Jeffrey Arbuckle of Trenton, which was also northbound on Main Street had attempted to pass Ms. Simpson’s car. When she returned to the northbound lane, her car struck the driver’s side rear wheel of Arbuckle’s van. The Grundy County Ambulance Service responded to the scene, but all of those involved in the accident refused transport to the hospital. Ms. Simpson was ticketed for making an improper turn, resulting in an accident.
