A sign hangs on the door at a local business reminding patrons that there is a mask ordinance in effect in Grundy County. However, not everyone has followed the guidelines.
GCHD: Prevention Is The Goal Mask Ordinance Was Put In Place On December 11
While no one is going to say they love the idea, there’s reason to believe the mask ordinance in Grundy County is making a difference as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect the health of area residents. “In public health we’re always looking at prevention,” said Grundy County Health Department Administrator Elizabeth Gibson. “So, when people say our numbers should be going down if the mask are working, we’re thinking that we don’t know how high those numbers might be if we weren’t wearing them.” Ms. Gibson, who serves as the county health officer, put the ordinance in place Dec. 11 after local healthcare officials sounded the alarm that area healthcare facilities were on the verge of being overwhelmed. “We were responding to the
Active Numbers Drop The active cases of COVID-19 in Grundy County took a dip over the weekend, according to the Grundy County Health Department. As of Monday morning, there were 62 active cases of the virus in Grundy County, a number that is down from 82 reported in Friday’s Republican-Times. There are 224 probable cases, up from 223 and 759 confirmed cases, an increase from 748. The total cases since the pandemic began sits at 983, an increase from 971. The death toll in Grundy County remained at 33. healthcare system being overwhelmed by it (COVID-19),” she explained. “We didn’t feel like we could just sit back and do nothing.” Under the ordinance, all persons age 10 and older are supposed to wear a mask any time they are or will be in contact with people who are not household members. All public buildings and businesses are supposed to have signs posted requiring those who enter to wear a face covering. While all you have to do is walk into nearly any business or public building in the county to see that not everyone is following the rules, Ms. Gibson said she has received a lot of feedback from those who support the ordinance. “For some businesses, I
think it almost gave them permission to ask their customers to wear the mask. It gave them someone to blame,” she laughed, “And I’m okay with that!” She went on to say that she knew there were those who were shopping in other communities that already had a mask ordinance in place because they felt safer. “Businesses should be concerned about that,” she said. The fact that many businesses still do not require customers to don the face covering is concerning, she said, also noting that there are public buildings where employees are not wearing them. “Obviously, we would hope to see them wearing the mask to protect themselves and other
people. We know that you can have someone who is asymptomatic and you find out later that person has exposed others. So, I would just encourage everyone to do better.” Ms. Gibson commended the leadership of the Trenton R-9 School District for its stance on masks, which she believes has helped control to a great extent the spread of the virus among the students and staff and to keep them in school. The county remains in the “high-risk” range according to the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services. Ms. Gibson hopes that with a vaccine making it’s way to the county, the situation will improve over the next many weeks. The mask ordinance will expire in early February, although she said she will look to the governor’s guidance, how many new cases we’re seeing as well as consult with local health care providers to determine if it will be re-issued. “We’ll see if the situation is being alleviated at that point,” she said, “but I do feel like we’ve moved the needle a little.”
R-5 Ponders Four-Day School Week Board Also Reviews The Cooperative Agreement With Newtown-Harris
The Grundy R-5 Board of Education is continuing to look into the possibility of implementing a four-day school week for the 2021-22 school year. According to R-5 Superintendent Phil Fox, the board heard a presentation on the four-day week from High School Principal Matt Rayl and Elementary Principal Jen Dryer during the board’s regular meeting held Wednesday. The principals explained that data supports the four-day week concept. A community survey was also reviewed and approved by the board to be released for public comment. No
other action was taken at this time. A discussion was held on the present COVID-19 response for the district and board members agreed to extend the Families First Coronavirus Response Act that provides employees with 80 hours of paid sick leave if the employee is quarantined with the virus. The board also reviewed and discussed the cooperative agreement that is currently in place with the Newtown-Harris School District, with the administration directed to contact the Newtown administration to discuss continuation of the agreement. In other business, potential changes to a bus route were discussed and it was noted that the Missouri State Highway Patrol inspection of buses will be held March 3 at the Department of Transportation building near Trenton. A committee was also appointed to investigate the feasibility of constructing a bus barn. The board also approved the purchase of new cur-

tirely different atmosphere is in action. Young people are all around, talking while dancing, playing pinball or just sitting at the counter or in a booth. Shouts of “Hi there!”, “How are you, Jane?”, “Long time, no see!” and “When did you get into town?” greet me. Kids are twirling around on the counter stools while drinking sodas. Boys are playing pinball with as much intensity as a grand national chess match. Girls stand around them, cheering them on and, of course, flirting. In the back room, I am greeted by a more subdued atmosphere. Over in the corner is a big jukebox, the only light in the room except for the little that filters in through the doorway to the front. A row of booths line one wall. In these is taking place the inevitable quarreling and patching up of boys and girls. On the opposite wall is a row of benches occupied by boys who are trying to get up enough nerve to ask a girl to dance. More people are introduced to me, people who seem so much more open with their friendship than those in the big city where I live. They always have a ready smile and are eager to listen to what I say and to include me in their activities. Gizmo’s is just a red, small building in a small north central Missouri town, but each time I leave there, I leave with a feeling of deep regret.

TWO-FOR-ONE SPECIAL Trenton Scores Two Wins At Home Triangular
Bulldogs Fourth In Chillicothe McAtee Takes Home Title At 113 Pounds
TRENTON 48 POLO 18 TRENTON 45 MARCELINE 24
On his back fighting off a pin attempt on Thursday night, the prospects of Nate Burkeybile winning his 195pound match against Polo’s James Davis appeared bleak. But Burkeybile fought off his back, escaped and, before the first period was over, had his hand raised in victory after securing a pinfall of his own. It was a highlight match for the Bulldogs, who secured a pair of home dual wins on the night, defeating Polo 48-18 and Marceline 45-24. “It’s always a good night when we can put two dual wins on the board in front of the home crowd,� Trenton coach Charlie Bacon said. “In the Polo dual, Nate had the most exciting win. He was able to fight off of his back in the first period to come back strong and get the pin. I was really happy for Nate and with the effort he put forth to fight out of a tough situation.� Burkeybile was able to get the pin with just eight seconds left in the opening period of his match. The win was the seventh of the dual for Trenton, but only the second on the mat. Only three matches were contested on the mat in the dual and the Bulldogs took two of those as Coleman Griffin secured a first-period fall as well at 152. Griffin dominated his match, securing a handful of takedowns allowing releases each time. A minute in to the match, however, Griffin converted what would be his final takedown into a pin. Gaven Kelsall was pinned at 160 in the only other match contested on the mat. Polo scored two wins by forfeit in addition to the pinfall win at 160, while Trenton won six matches by forfeit. Three weights resulted in double forfeits. The win in the Polo dual was a conference victory for Trenton and pushed the Bulldogs’ league mark to 2-2. Against Marceline, Trenton won five matches via forfeit while the Tigers got three non-contested victories. Two

weight classes resulted in double forfeits. On the mat, however, Trenton again controlled the action. The Bulldogs took three of four matches wrestled with Hunter McAtee (120) and Brice Gibler (138) each winning by fall. McAtee got his pin late in the second period while Gibler won his match just 41 seconds into the bout.
“Hunter got us off to a strong start scoring several takedowns before securing the pin,� Bacon said. “He looked quick on his feet and controlled the whole match. Brice followed that match up with an absolutely dominant performance. He got the first takedown and it didn’t take long for him to secure the pin. I was extremely happy with the way both of these young men per-
formed tonight.� Kaden Owen was pinned at 170 for Marceline’s lone win on the mat and Caleb Johnson picked up a 10-3 decision victory at 220 in the final match on the mat of the night. “We ended the night with an exciting decision from Caleb Johnson,� Bacon said. “Caleb is a kid who is always going to give it everything he’s got and he did just that tonight.� The 2-0 showing on the night pushed Trenton’s overall dual record on the season to 5-3. After Saturday’s Chillicothe TOurnament, Trenton now travels to Brookfield tonight (Tuesday) for a triangular that also includes Richmond. Action is scheduled to get underway at 5:30. GIRLS Trenton’s girls also battled Polo and Marceline on Thursday, falling 18-3 to Polo and 54-12 to Marceline. Against Polo, Trenton dropped two of three duals contested on the mat. Makayla Hamilton (235) and Mercy Schweizer (117) were each pinned, however, Allison Yoder picked up a win by an 8-1 decision at 159. Polo added one win by forfeit to give the dual its final score of 18-3. Against Marceline, Yoder scored a win by fall at 159 to make her 2-0 on the night. Hamilton earned a win by forfeit at 235 and Schweizer was pinned at 117. Marceline featured a nearly full girls lineup and won eight matches by forfeit. The Trenton girls will also make the trip to Brookfield tonight (Tuesday).

Despite taking just nine wrestlers to the Chillicothe Tournament on Saturday the Trenton Bulldogs still came home with a fouth place finish in a field of 12 varsity and nine junior varsity teams. The Bulldogs were powered to the finish by five wrestlers who place in the top three of their respective weight classes. Hunter McAtee was Trenton’s top finisher, placing first in the 113-pound bracket. Behind him, Trenton’s Caleb Johnson and Coleman Griffin were second-place finishers at 220 and 152 pounds respectively and Sam Gibson and Brice Gibler came home in third at 182 and 138 pounds respectively. McAtee advanced to the finals of his weight class with two wins that came by pins within the first minute of the match. In the finals, McAtee had a bit of a tougher time, but the outcome of the match was rarely in doubt as he put away Hallsville’s Parker Crane via an 11-5 decision. Both Johnson and Griffin were 2-1 on the day, advancing to the finals with a pair of wins before falling in their championship matches. Johnson earned two wins by fall before losing by a close 3-0 decision to Boonville’s Peyton Hahn in the final. Griffin, meanwhile, advanced to the finals with a 14-1 major decision win and a 3-0 regular decision win. In the finals, he was pinned by Gallatin’s Rodell Sperry. Gibler opened his tournament with a win by fall in the quarterfinals, but lost a 9-0 decision in the semifinals to put him in the third-place match. There he scored a 4-0 decision over Chillicothe’s Cayden Larson to earn his top-three finish. Gibson also picked up a win by fall in the quarterfinals, but fell by a 7-2 decision in the semifinals, relegating him to the third-place match. Gibson was able to bounce back as well, taking third with a 3-0 decision win over Marshall’s Gabriel Pineda. Other Bulldogs in action at the tournament included Kaden Owen (170), who went 4-1 on the day to finish fifth in his weight class; Nate Burkeybile (195), who was 1-2 on the day, placing sixth; Gaven Kelsall (160), who was 0-2; and Kael Brock (285), who was 02. GIRLS Trenton’s girls had three wrestlers in action at the tournament and placed all three in the top four of their respective weight classes. Allison Yoder (159) scored two wins by fall to advance to the championship match of her bracket where she lost by a 10-3 decision to Taylor Owen of Savannah. Makayla Hamilton, meanwhile, scored one win by fall to reach the finals of the 195-pound bracket. There she was pinned by Chelsea Guthrey of Marshall to place second. Also in action for Trenton was Mercy Schweizer, who was 0-3 in the round-robin 117-pound bracket, placing her fourth.

Pirates Looking To Remain At The Top In New Season

Returning All-American Atavian Butler Set To Lead Pirates In 2021
TRENTON GIRLS 34 WEST PLATTE 24 The ending of the 2019-2020 season came abruptly for the North Central Missouri College men’s basketball team. After securing back-to-back Region 16 and district titles, just the second each in program history, the Pirates were earmarked for a return trip to Danville, IL for the NJCAA Division II National Tournament. After just being happy to make the trip the previous season, North Central was going back with a little more swagger, higher goals and bigger expectations. None of those would be realized, however. The Pirates, who were ranked first in the nation at the Division II level for the entire month of January, never got to show what they were capable of. They never even got to get on the bus. The COVID-19 pandemic pushed the tournament back into April, then cancelled it all together. To say the ending of the season was bittersweet is an understatement. Enter the 2020-2021 season, which will be played in its entirety in 2021 - again due to the coronavirus. North Central is looking to keep its vice grip handle on the region and district and eyeing a third consecutive national tournament berth. The success of the last two years is a motivating factor for this edition of the Pirates, so is how last season ended. “How last year ended has certainly kept us motivated for this year,� North Central coach Jeremy Esry said. “It’s a strange feeling because our returners know what it takes to make the national tournament but then never got to reap the rewards and experience of the national tournament. The sophomores last year told them how great of an experience it is and hopefully they keep that motivation in their heads all season. The strides we have made (in the last two years) are all because of the type of kids we have been able to get in the program and their belief and hard work everyday that they are here at North Central. Guys have helped paved the way and shown that with hard work and a positive attitude that they can be successful.� There are just four players returning from last year’s team, but they are players who were big for the Pirates last season. Atavian Butler is the leading returnee, having averaged 15.6 points per game last season. He was an All-American selection last season and North Central will certainly be eyeing him to be a leader with his production again this season. Behind Butler, North Central also returns its trigger man in point guard Damien Loyd. Loyd averaged 7.6 points and 4.3 assists per game last year and will certainly once again be tasked with driv-

Jeramy Shaw, who averaged just under 10 points per game, and Jackson Andrews, a 45.6 percent shooter from three-point distance, are also back for North Central. “We are lucky in the sense that we have a pretty good core group back from last year with four guys who got some valuable minutes for us,� Esry said. “It all starts with Atavian. He has been a real good leader for us and is just super tough every day he is out on the court. Jeramy has shown a ton of potential and is becoming more and more aggressive which is what we need from him. Damien was our starting point guard last year and we will need him to play a similar role this year. Then there is Jackson who is really shooting the ball well with a ton of confidence in practices, hopefully he can continue that.� Newcomers to the team include Kolten
Griffin, Truman Kaderly, Yonathan Elful, Riak Mabour, Kenny Stone, Liashwuon Boston, Darius Walsh, Antheny Carey, Cameron Donatlan, Darious Thomas, Guy Moran, Mack Anderson and Erik Slack. “We have been impressed with all our new guys at one point or the other,� Esry said. “A couple of guys that have really announced their presence in our program are Cam Donatlan, Kolten Griffin and Mack Anderson. Cam is still getting a feel for basketball after playing college football for two years but has a ton of potential. Kolten works super hard on the court and his motor is always running. Mack is a local kid (Southwest Livingston) and does a great job of never backing down and playing tough for us.� North Central will be looking to get the right mesh of returnees and new players when the season gets underway on Wednesday. The Pirates will play host to Kansas City Kansas Community College at the Ketcham Community Center in Trenton. The 7:30 p.m. tip off will get the Pirates started in a season that will certainly battle test the program. KCK is just the first on a schedule loaded with Division I schools and traditional Division II powerhouses. But when the season winds to conclusion that will put the Pirates in the best possible position entering region and district play. Defending those titles will be a goal for North Central this season and in future seasons. The Pirates have put themselves on the map in the past two years and won’t be looking to relinquish that without a fight anytime soon.
The Trenton High School girls basketball team allowed 16 points in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s consolation final at the Lawson Tournament. As hard as Trenton’s defense had worked through the first three quarters of the trophy game, it deserved some rest. Trenton weathered the fourth quarter surge just fine, holding on to defeat West Platte 34-24 and earned itself some hardware as a result. While West Platte found some offense late, Trenton nearly put a lid on the basket in the first three quarters, limiting the Blue Jays to just four points in the first quarter, one in the second and three in the third. The defensive prowess gave Trenton some room for error in the final frame. “The girls executed our game plan really well,� Trenton coach Kameron Cool said. “I’m really proud of their focus. It was the fewest turnovers we have had all season and we defended incredibly well. It’s always good to leave a tournament with some hardware.� Offensively Morgan King knocked down two threepointers in the opening frame and two more in the second as Trenton built an 18-5 halftime advantage. King knocked down one more triple in the fourth quarter, leading Trenton
with 15 points and five rebounds. “Morgan’s shooting gave us such a big boost,� Cool said. “Anytime you have an outside threat like that, it opens everything else up. It was a big game from her.� Madi Moore added six points, eight rebounds and three assists and Gracyn Rongey finished with five points and six rebounds. The Bulldogs also got three points each from Teya Cooksey and Chandler Lynch and one point each from Jenna Reeter and Rebecca Urich. The victory marked the second in a row for the Bulldogs, who defeated Gallatin on Wednesday to advance to the consolation final. It was the first time this year Trenton has won back-to-back games. With the win, Trenton moved to 5-7 overall on the season. TRENTON BOYS The Trenton boys were not so lucky in their bid for a consolation trophy. Lawson landed a big blow out of the gates with a 21-8 first quarter run, but the host school outscored Trenton 14-0 in the second quarter and that was the back-breaker. The Bulldogs would collect just 11 points in the second half as the Cardinals coasted to the win. Brycin Loyd scored six points and that led Trenton on the night. Tucker Otto, Maverick Sole and Gavin Roeder all scored three points each. Chase Otto and Gabe Novak each scored two points to round out Trenton’s total. With the loss, Trenton’s boys dropped to 2-9 overall. UP NEXT Trenton has a pair of Grand River Conference road trips this week. The Bulldogs will be at Polo tonight (Tuesday) and at Milan on Friday. Both doubleheaders tip off 6 p.m.

NCMC Women Aiming High In 2021 Pirate Women Determined To Change Outcome When the 2019-2020 season concluded on the North Central Missouri College women’s basketball team, the Pirates couldn’t help but feel disappointed. A third crack at St. Louis was what North Central was after at the Region 16 tournament, but that plan was derailed when Metropolitan Community College, a team the Pirates held two wins over in the regular season, knocked NCMC out in the semifinals with a 60-59 victory. In the offseason, North Central added some big weapons to an already stacked list of returnees for this year.

Richard Eugene McLallen Richard Eugene McLallen, an 88-year-old resident of Chillicothe passed away on Friday, Jan. 15, 2021. Richard will be buried at Richardson Cemetery at Laredo, with a celebration of life to be held at a later date. Arrangements are under the direction of Slater-Neal Funeral Home of Trenton. Richard was born Nov. 9, 1932 in Grundy County to Carl Edwin McLallen and Lorea Elaine Dowell McLallen, the eldest of two children. After graduating from Trenton High School, Richard enlisted in the United States Air Force during the Korean Conflict. He came back to Trenton to marry his sweetheart, Mary Alice Mullins on Sept. 17, 1954. They have two daughters, Gayle Flynn of Chillicothe, who has 4 children, and Lisa Guinther and her husband, John of Louisville, CO, who have three children. There are five great-grandchildren.

He was also involved in Lion’s Club and veteran’s
organizations. Flying was Richard’s passion. When he first saw an airplane fly over his family’s farm as a young child he was mesmerized. He took flying lessons in 1954 and was flying or thinking about it ever since. Richard owned over 50 airplanes throughout his career of flying. He enjoyed refurbishing, restoring, flying, buying and selling airplanes. He worked for Trans World Airlines for 34 years as a mechanic and electrician. His passion provided a multitude of travel, adventure and excitement. Richard was extremely kind, giving and understanding and was a man of strong character and leadership.

TMS Spelling Bee Winners
CVB Meeting Held Jan. 13 The Trenton Convention and Visitors Bureau held a meeting Wednesday, Jan. 13 at city hall. According to information provided by bureau secretary Megan Taul, the board, which oversees the use of the city’s “lodging tax” discussed financial issues such as how and when the tax is collected and noting that a proposed budget will be submitted to the city council for approval by March 31. Bureau members discussed the ordinance that allows them to exist as well as the vision, duties and structure of the bureau. Its mission is to promote the “Trenton Experience” through a website, social media and distribution of marketing materials in this area and the surrounding areas. This would include a broad list of the dining, retail, lodging, etc. that the city has to offer. Assistance will be sought from the Missouri Department of Tourism for advertising, ad guidance and cooperative marketing. Bureau members discussed by-laws and policies and decided to wait until the group has a better understanding of the process and mission before establishing those items. A draft letter was reviewed to send to businesses and individuals that state the lodging tax was passed by voters and the process for collecting the tax. The tax collection form was also updated and it was noted that notification has already been sent to the two lodging businesses but still needs to be sent to the two Airbnb businesses. The group agreed for their notices to state a second quarter start date to comply with the 30day notice as stated in the drafted letter. The bureau plans to meet at noon on Wednesday, Feb. 10 at city hall. The agenda includes an ordinance review, selection of board member terms and a proposed budget. In addition to Mrs.Taul, those attending the meeting were bureau members Cara McClellan, Debbie Carman, Megan Pester, Micah Landes and Jordan Ferguson as well as City Clerk Cindy Simpson, Third Ward Councilperson Cathie Smith, who serves as an ex-officio member, City Administrator Ron Urton, Mayor Linda Crooks and City Attorney Tara Walker.

Mishaps Result In Injuries To Two Area Residents A Trenton man was transported to the hospital by Grundy County EMS following an accident Thursday evening just east of Trenton. According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the accident occurred as a pickup truck driven by Jason E. Hunter of Trenton was eastbound on Highway 6, one mile east of town. As he slowed his vehicle to make a right turn, his vehicle was struck in the right rear bumper by a semi driven by Donald F.

The pickup came to rest in the eastbound lane on the highway, facing north, while the semi came to rest on the eastbound shoulder, facing east. Hunter, who was wearing a seat belt, sustained minor injuries and was taken by ambulance to Wright Memorial Hospital for treatment.

Dear Annie: My fiance and I want to go back to the way we were, but it is more of a struggle for me than for him. We are planning to get an apartment together, but it is hard for me to be around him without getting upset. I have been going through a lot lately, and finding out that my fiance was lying to me was one of the worst things that has happened. At first, it was something minor, and I just chose to keep my mouth shut, but the next morning he was on his phone, and I saw pictures of naked women that he tried to hide fast. I tried to get the truth out of him, but he lied. We went to the lake to talk about it, and it just kept escalating. He's been doing it for seven months. I found out and was actually contacting someone to get these pictures. This is cheating, isn't it? He also had multiple accounts for stuff like that which he had to pay for. He promised not to do it again, but I struggle to believe it when he continues to lie to me about different things. I want to move on and be happy with him, but when something similar comes up, I break down. What should I do? -- Confused and Lost.
Dear Confused and Lost: Of course, you break down when something similar happens. It is unacceptable for your fiance to lie to you and have other women send him naked pictures. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. The best way to move on and be happy with him is to go to counseling together. You can't build a successful marriage if there is a lack of trust. Stay firm with your boundaries in the relationship. Until that's settled, don't marry the bum. Best of luck to you both. Dear Annie: Many people are not aware that the strings of surgical masks should be cut before being thrown away to prevent animals from getting entangled in the masks. Alternately, reusable masks help cut down on COVID-19 waste that pollutes waterways and oceans. Please cut the strings on your mask. -- Reduce COVID Waste Dear Reduce COVID Waste: Thank you for this unusual but -- now that we think about it -- obvious tip.

daughter steadily gaining weight to a podcast called "Half Size Me" and the host, Heather Robertson. She also has an excellent podcast called "Healthy Parents, Healthy Families," and the information therein could prevent the diet/binge cycle many of us have struggled with since our teenage years. Heather has an amazing perspective on this specific topic of having extra weight as a teenager. My general overview is that her work shares with listeners how to maintain and stop gaining weight without restricting calories and continuing the diet/binge cycle. -- Stephanie Dear Stephanie: Thank you for your recommendation. Especially as we are bombarded with information and sales tactics to "lose weight fast" and "burn holiday calories," it's important to block out the negative and harmful ads and instead find a supportive health and wellness program that works for us as individuals.
