Proposed Academy At Crossroads Prison Parson Proposes Transformation Of Idled Cameron Facility JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Gov. Mike Parson has proposed transforming a shuttered northwest Missouri prison into a training ground for incoming correctional officers.

Parson’s recently unveiled budget plan

includes $671,714 to convert the idled Crossroads Correctional Center in Cameron into an academy where wouldbe prison guards can get more real-world experience before being assigned to one of the state’s 20 lock-ups, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

“The plan is to be able to train custody staff in an environment that’s similar to the environment in which they’ll be working,” said Missouri Department of Corrections spokeswoman Karen Pojmann.

The state has training academies in Jefferson City, St. Joseph and Farmington.

Those facilities may be consolidated once

the conversion is complete.

“The actual opening of the academy would be a couple of years from now,” Pojmann said.

Lawmakers are reviewing the governor’s overall $34.6 billion spending blueprint with an eye on approving the package by early May. The new training facility is one of several initiatives aimed at improving a department that has seen high turnover among its guard ranks, which are among the lowest paid in the nation.

Short Night For Bulldogs In Stanberry Trenton Girls Reverse riod. The Bulldogs’ lone loss of the dual came at 195, where Nate Burkeybile was pinned.

North Andrew boasted just one wrestler in their lineup, but he was a good one.

McAtee wrestled up at 120 to give it a shot against the Cardinals’ Dawson Fansher, but things didn’t go well as the stateranked 113-pounder was defeated one point shy of a technical fall, losing 14-0.

That would be it as the rest of the Trenton wrestlers took wins by forfeit in the dual.

The final match-up of the night saw Trenton take three-of-four matches on the mat against Stanberry. Gibler scored his second win of the night, coming with a pin just over a minute into his match at 138.

McAtee bounced back, going back down to 113 pounds where he pinned his opponent in just over 30 seconds. Sam Gibson also scored a win by fall at 182 pounds, pinning his foe late in the first period. Kael Brock (285) was the only Bulldog to fall in the dual, losing by fall in the second period.

Despite Trenton’s heavy numbers advantage in all three duals, the Bulldogs were a bit short-handed themselves. Trenton’s lineup featured four open spots in the first two duals and a fifth open weight in the Stanberry contest.

The three wins, nevertheless, pushed Trenton’s overall dual record to 11-5 on

Trenton Rolls Up Three Wins Behind A Lot Of Wins By Forfeit TRENTON 54 ROCK PORT 6 TRENTON 54 NORTH ANDREW 4 TRENTON 48 STANBERRY 6

It was a short night for the Trenton High School wrestling team in Stanberry on Thursday. Trenton wrestled three teams with a combined 33 open weights. The results were big wins for Trenton, but few matches being wrestled on the mat.

Trenton topped Rock Port 54-6, North Andrew 54-4 and Stanberry 48-6.

Against Rock Port, four matches were wrestled on the mat. Brice Gibler got a second-period pin in the first of those matches, coming at 138 pounds. Coleman Griffin followed with a first-period pin at 152 and Hunter McAtee secured a pinfall victory at 113, coming in the second pe-

the season. The wins over Stanberry and North Andrew gave Trenton a final Grand River Conference mark of 4-3.

Trenton will travel to Chillicothe to close out the regular season tonight (Tuesday) with a triangular. The Bulldogs and Hornets will be joined by the Marceline Tigers at the event, which gets underway at 5:30 p.m.

The Class 1, District 3 Tournament will be held on Saturday, Feb. 13 in Marceline.

GIRLS Trenton’s girls got two matches in on the night, drawing a split. Trenton picked up a 12-6 win over North Andrew before falling 18-12 to Stanberry.

Mercy Schweizer was pinned at 117 to open the dual with North Andrew, but that was the only wrestler in the Cardinal lineup. Wins by forfeit from Allison Yoder (159) and Makayla Hamilton (195) swung the dual for Trenton.

Schweizer lost by fall against Stanberry as well and the host school won the following two weights by forfeit, nullifying Trenton’s forfeit wins from Yoder and Hamilton at the higher weights.

Trenton’s girls will travel to Chillicothe tonight (Tuesday) as well. The Class 1, District 4 girls wrestling tournament will be held on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 5-6, at Mid-Buchanan High School in Faucett.

Gallatin Finally Beats Trenton, But Bulldogs Avenge South Harrison Loss

Weekend Wins For North Central Teams back in a game they once trailed by double digits, it was to warn of a tornado in the Neosho area.

So with a two-point lead and 2:12 left in the game, the North Central women took shelter in a classroom in another building on the Crowder College campus. An hour passed before the Pirates returned to the court to close out their 86-81 road victory.

The break didn’t seem to stall North Central’s momentum after the Pirates had to rally from a 10-point deficit in the first half. A 21-18 lead at the end of the first quarter quickly dissipated in the second as Crowder outscored the Pirates 26-17 in the frame,

But North Central battled back behind a balanced scoring attack and an incredible 20-for20 performance from the freethrow stripe. Right as North Central took its first lead since early in the second quarter, the game was halted by the tornado delay. The final 2:12 offered little to change the outcome, though as the Pirates got the job done, continuing to deliver from the free-throw line. “We came out sluggish, but fought back, determined to not get blown away,� North Central coach Jenni Croy said. “In the second half we came out and played well together. We had just regained the lead when the tornado sirens happened. Luckily we were put in a classroom with just us and our parents. We came out after that fired up and ready to finish.�

Five Pirates reached double figures with Maci Moore leading the way with 19 points and seven rebounds. Kortlyn Rounkles added 18 points, four assists and three steals and Nora Ford finished with 16 points. Kennadie Crowe had 15 points and Lily Osborn went for 14 points and seven assists.

The win leveled North Central’s record at 2-2 on the sea-

Dr. Coleen Stice Gives Rotary Program On Mission Work In Africa Coleen Stice, MD, was the speaker at the Jan. 28 meeting of the Trenton Rotary Club, held at the BTC Bank community room. Phil Hoffman was the program chairman.

Dr. Stice, a plastic surgeon, told about her mission work in various countries in which she has performed surgeries on individuals who have suffered burns due to the use of open fires for cooking, cleaning, etc. This work has led to her collaboration with Global Partners in Hope for the development of the Salama Stove, which al-

lows the fire to be contained within a metal stove unit as well as keeping toxic gases made by the open fire from escaping. Efforts are under way to get the stove manufactured as economically as possible, with construction of the stove taking place in the countries in which they are to be used, when practical. The efforts are currently centered in Africa, where Dr. Stice has done considerable work. She said she wants to make sure the manufacturing quality is good and is looking at possibly having the parts made in the U.S.,

then having the parts shipped and the stove assembled in the area where they are to be used. A sample of the stove was shown to members.

President Kim Washburn presided at the meeting and led the pledge to the U.S. flag. Jackie Soptic gave the prayer and Chris Hoffman was the sergeant at arms.

The club will meet on Thursday, Feb. 4 at the BTC Bank community room. Cathie Smith will present the program on the local use tax issue that will be on the April election ballot.

Tickets Issued To Drivers

Both drivers were ticketed in a two-vehicle accident investigated Jan. 27 by the Trenton Police Department, with a driver also ticketed following an accident Jan. 28.

According to Lt. Larry Smith’s accident report, the mishap occurred when a car driven by Judy Vyrostek of Trenton was westbound on 12th Street, preparing to cross Main Street. She stopped for the stop sign at Main and did not see a motorcycle driven by Richard G. Tharp of Spickard, which was southbound on Main. Ms. Vyrostek pulled into the intersection, colliding with the motorcycle. The Grundy County Ambulance and Trenton Fire Department responded to the scene, but no injuries were reported.

Ms. Vyrostek’s vehicle sustained damage near the passenger side front door, while the motorcycle sustained damage to the front wheel area and was towed from the scene.

Ms. Vyrostek was ticketed for failing to yield at a stop intersection, resulting in an accident, while Tharp was ticketed for having no state driver’s license when required (motorcycle endorsement).

No serious injuries were reported in an accident investigated Jan. 28, also investigated by Lt. Smith. According to the accident report, the mishap occurred around 3 p.m. on Normal Street just south of 12th Street when a vehicle driven by Cayson G. Harper of Trenton was southbound and fishtailed off the right side of the road, striking a utility pole.

The Trenton Fire Department and Grundy County Ambulance Department also responded to the scene, where a passenger, Korbin Vandevender of Trenton, sustained a bloody nose.

The vehicle, which sustained damage to the driver’s side front, was towed from the scene. Harper was ticketed for improper lane usage resulting in an accident.

Pollinators in Agriculture Production agriculture relies heavily on pollinators. In fact, almost thirty-five percent of the world’s food crops rely on animal pollination to survive. While honeybees are the primary pollinators in the United States, many others are prevalent and just as industrious as the honeybee. Pollinators contribute over 24 billion dollars a year to the United States Agriculture Industry. Though it’s arguable that these pollinators do all of the hard work, the men and women who dedicate their life to conservation of natural resources, sustainable agriculture, and apiculture in efforts to maintain pollinator population levels throughout the nation play just as vital a role. The 125,000 beekeepers in the United States aid colonies in maintaining healthy and large populations for pollination.

Although this is an obvious option to save the bees, conservation practices are equally important. Especially when it comes to restoring native habitat, pollinators need a diverse selection of native flowers to get the essential nutrients needed for their survival. Programs like the CRP Pollinator Initiative Program and the Great Pollinator Project are designed to promote native habitat restoration. For those who do not have a large plot of land, native pollinator plots are a practical way to offer pollinator habitat. When placed around businesses, these not only offer habitat but are a great way to boost interest and knowledge about the importance of pollinators. The Trenton FFA Chapter got involved this fall by planting a native pollinator plot outside the H. Frank Hoffman Building, which will serve as an educational resource for students and community members for years to come.

Dear Annie: I have been married for 10 years this month. I am at the end of my rope with my husband.

My husband was a widower when we first met, and he was very affectionate and romantic.

But now, for him to try to be romantic or affectionate is like a chore -- one that he refuses to do. This is the first time I have ever experienced somebody who is emotionally lazy.

I find myself wondering why I'm even in this relationship still, because there is no financial support, no sex life and no emotional support of any kind.

I do love him and have asked that he go to counseling, which refuses to do, as he does not see that he has a problem.

Other than counseling, is there any way that I can get him to revive our emotional life? -- Emotionally Starved Dear Emotionally Starved: The fact that he was affectionate and romantic in the beginning shows that you had a spark and you have the potential to get it back. It's called the honeymoon phase for a reason; it doesn't necessarily last unless

you work at it. And working at it takes two. Ask yourself whether you are affectionate and romantic with him. It could be that you noticed him getting lazy and your reaction was to subconsciously pull away or push him to the point where boundaries are blurred.

He could also be suffering from depression, which can show up as avoidance. Regardless of what is going on between his ears, a good trained professional will help you get to the root of it. If you want this marriage to work, sit your husband down and tell him outside support is absolutely needed to get back to where you were.

And instead of recommending counseling for him, why not go to couples therapy?

Hi, Annie: In reading the letter from Disappointed, who was upset that her son's girlfriend doesn't help with meal cleanup, I wanted to share what works for my husband and I. I was raised in a household where my father participated in both meal preparation and cleanup. I remember being stunned -- and, frankly appalled

-- when going to my thenboyfriend's house for large family dinners where the women were expected to do all of the cooking and cleaning, and the men sat around chatting, watching ball games or otherwise entertaining themselves.

There is no mention in the letter about what the men are doing, but it's very clear they are not involved in any of the labor (except maybe carving the turkey). The girlfriend's apparent refusal to help is a bit odd and, yes, rude, but why is the girlfriend expected to pitch in and not the son? As you mentioned in your response, perhaps if the son were regularly engaged in participating in the work, his guest would be, too.

My husband and I have a rule for daily meals -- born out of my messy cooking habits: Whoever cooks cleans. We trade off cooking for everyday meals and share the labor when entertaining larger groups. I'm eternally thankful that he didn't absorb his family's relegation of the entertaining grunt work to women. -- Everyone Should Chip In Dear Everyone Should Chip In: I couldn't agree more.

What a great compromise.

Beyond Dry January Dry January may get the headlines, but a growing number of drinkers are consuming less alcohol all year long.

Alcohol consumption in 10 countries — including the U.S., France, Japan, South Africa and Brazil — fell by an estimated 5% in 2020, according to a study by IWSR Drinks Market Analysis. But consumption of low- and no-alcohol beer, wine and spirits grew 1% in that period. IWSR measures consumption through sales reports from distributors, retailers and others.

Consumers are increasingly focused on health and wellness, IWSR said. Moderating their

drinking is part of that, but they’re also looking for adult beverages with lower sugar and calories.

They can cut both by nixing alcohol.

Their choices are growing rapidly. Last year, Gordon’s introduced a zero-alcohol gin, Budweiser unveiled its first zero-alcohol beer and Bacardi began selling reduced-alcohol vodka.

For now, low- and no-alcohol drinks are most popular in Europe. In Spain and Germany, they made up 9% of the total alcohol market in 2020; that compares to 1.5% in the U.S. But IWSR expects those percentages will grow based on surveys of drinkers and innovation in the market.

bystander watching the story transpire. Imagine the sights, the sounds, and even the smells of the surroundings. Most of all, imagine how you would feel and how you would react.

Perspective is gained by becoming fully immersed into the passage.

Finally, consider singing as a form of prayer. St. Augustine of Hippo is often quoted as having said, “He who sings prays twice.” Consider the words of such popular hymns as “Amazing Grace,” “How Great Thou Art,” or “Just As I Am.” Their words eloquently offer our souls to God. A hymn’s tune will catch in your ear and its words will lodge in your heart forever. Hymns may be offered as praise, as repentance, or as thankfulness. They can be offered when your own words fail you. They can be sung with a congregation or hummed softly alone. Regardless, it’s a prayer from your heart.

As we study and pray in solitude protected from the world’s problems, it is important to remember that although Jesus went alone to the desert to pray, he did not remain there. Jesus went back and faced the world.

May your spiritual practices provide you with comfort, guidance, and renewed energy to return to the world and spread God’s love.

PRAYING WITH SCRIPTURE Many of us may begin this new year seeking ways to enrich our spiritual lives. One approach might be to use a new method of engaging with the scriptures or to pray in a different manner. Here are three practices to consider.

Lectio Divina is a mediative and prayerful practice of reading the Holy Scriptures rather than a scholarly study. To begin, find a quiet place to devote at least thirty minutes on one passage of scripture. Read the passage four times. The first time, read it leisurely to capture its essence. Next, read it deliberately and reverently.

Do any of the words or phrases capture your attention? Read it slowly and prayerfully a third time and allow those words and phrases to challenge you. As you read the passage for the fourth and final time, hold those words and phrases in your mind and heart. Consider what they mean to you and why they grabbed your attention.

Another practice is the Ignatian Contemplation. In this method, derived by St. Ignatius Loyola, read a scripture passage and place yourself either as a figure in the story or as a
