Courthouse Veteran Flag Display Refreshed

After flying on holidays for nearly 50 years, the War Veteran Flag Display at the Grundy County Courthouse received a facelift this Memorial Day. The flags have flown in memory of those Grundy County veterans, but in the condition they were in, they no longer brought the honor to the veteran that they deserve.

In a ceremony held at 7:00 a.m. on Monday, May 29 in the parking area at the Grundy County Courthouse, a veteran flag was retired prior to the new flags being put up.

In an effort spearheaded by the Kiwanis Club and funded by Trenton Elks Lodge, Kiwanis Club, Rotary Club and Lions Club, the current veteran flags have been replaced with brand new flags that are the same size as the previous ones. The new flags are polyester flags which will weather better and allow them to be flown in windier conditions than in past years.

have reduced the space for the flag display. As a result of the reduced space and to make additional room for flags to be flown in memory of deceased veterans who served during the Korean, Vietnam and Gulf Wars, veterans who served during WWI will have one flag flown in their memory, with a plaque that contains the original flag nameplates of those veterans to be displayed in the Grundy County Courthouse. Current WWII, Korean and

Vietnam deceased war veterans will continue to be flown in their memory.

There is still a limited amount of space to display flags. If a family of a deceased war veteran would like to place a flag in service, they are encouraged to contact Kara Helmandollar, Kiwanis Club President, or Jeb Walker, Kiwanis Club Vice-President and project co-chair, to see if their veteran meets the criteria and to begin that process of placement. The deceased veteran needs to have been a resident of Grundy County and to have served

in any war WWII and later. A $50 contribution is requested to cover the cost of the flag and plaque but is not required.

The original flags, that were retired Monday, will be made available for surviving family members to reclaim by contacting Helmandollar at 660-3595966. A list of veterans whose flags have been retired can be found at www.tinyurl.com/GFlaFl VeteranFlags. They will be available through Labor Day, at which time all unclaimed flags will be destroyed according to US

Flag Code. Kiwanis, Rotary, Elks, Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors, and Lions Club members currently are responsible for putting flags up on designated holidays. The Kiwanis Club is currently looking for an organization, business or church that is willing to ensure that flags are put up, taken down and stored away for the Independence Day holiday. This would be a yearly effort on their part. Interested groups may contact Helmandollar at 660359-5966 for further information.

Jenny Mosley, Admissions Processor from Galt, has been selected as North Central Missouri College's Outstanding Employee for May. Jenny is working on her Associate in Arts degree from NCMC and has been employed for five years.

Jenny describes her job as busy, fulfilling, and rewarding, and when asked her favorite thing about NCMC, she said, "Great working environment." Recently, Jenny has helped the Admissions Department go paperless in application in the last few years. All transcripts are logged/scanned, and most are paperless. Jenny also keeps customer service a high priority. She believes with NCMC's expanding campuses, we will be growing, and the new CRM application will help keep Admissions better connected to students.

Margaret was born on November 6, 1937, in Muskogee, OK to Virgil and Johnnie Mae Childers Lancaster. Her parents divorced at a young age and she and her little sister and Mother moved to Phoenix, AZ where she would grow up across the street from Karl Goerne, who would become her husband on December 23, 1956, when they eloped to Carlsbad, NM.

They would welcome a son in 1958 and daughter in 1960 and within a few years they would move to

Margaret was an accomplished seamstress, making all her daughters clothing when she was young and most of her own. One of her favorite pasttimes was crochet and playing Kings on the Corner cards and Bingo. Losing her sight to macular degeneration a few years ago didn’t stop her from many activities. She loved country music and would ask “Alexa” to play her music, especially Merle Haggard and his song “Okie from Muskogee”

While residing in Phoenix she was a home room mother for both her children and helped with Blue Birds (Camp Fire Girls) and Boys Scouts and Webelos. She and Karl were very involved in the PTA and Lions Club for many years. Camping trips

nearly every weekend were the highlight of the family and they traveled to many of the National Parks in Arizona, Utah and surrounding states.

In 1984 Karl died after 27 years of marriage and in 1989 she married Donald Love Sr, who passed away in May 2012 after nearly 22 years of marriage.

Margaret is survived by her son, Kevin Goerne of Laclede; daughter, Mary Everitt and beloved son-inlaw, Bob of Grandview; her much-loved step-children, Tammy Love, Patti Love, Julie Hows and Donnie Love; her grandsons, whom she was so proud of and loved deeply, Matthew Goerne, Christopher Hanes (Julie), Marty Goerne and Michael Goerne (Sydney); the absolute light of her life, her great-grandchildren, Loralie and Dalton Hanes, Naomi Goerne and Timberlynn Goerne; her

beloved little brother, Chris Sugar (Verletta); and nieces and nephews.

Rotarians Hear from R-9 Administration

Trenton R-9 School administrators presented the program at the May 25 meeting of the Trenton Rotary Club, held at the BTC Bank community room. Michael Ormsby presided at the meeting, Joe MacDonald gave the prayer and Brian Upton was the sergeant at arms. Daniel Gott was the program chairman.

R-9 Special Educa tion/Preschoo1 Director Tara Hoffman, Rissler Elementary Principal Susan Gott and Trenton Middle School Principal Mike Hostetter updated members about their respective programs. Mrs.

Hoffman said there were 150 children enrolled in preschool/kindergarten this past year and that 60 new preschool/kinder garten students have been screened for the 2023-24 school year. She talked about the need for all-day kindergarten if facilities were available, however, noted that getting teachers could be an issue. The high school special education program expanded its coffee shop to include deliveries to NCMC, Pleasant View R-6 School and Laredo R-7 School in addition to Trenton. Money made from the coffee shop is used to help fund an

educational trip for students at the end of the school year. She said the special education program will be adding autism as an area of focus for next year.

Mrs. Gott expressed her appreciation of community support at the elementary school, adding that the school is looking for opportunities for students to "give back" for the support. Students do participate in service projects and programs as well as field trips. She said staff has been working to realign its curriculum to make sure its priorities are inline with both the R-9 and state education requirements. A new

assistant principal has been hired for next year, Wayne Proffit.

Hostetter said the middle school staff has been working on its goals to make sure they are in alignment with the district CSIP program, with a decision being made to have one hour of reading and one hour of writing each day at the fifth and sixth grade levels. The reading/writing change also resulted in a change in the social studies curriculum, however, Hostetter noted students will still have one hour of social studies each day. He also discussed attendance,

which he said the middle school has worked on improving.

During the business meeting, it was announced that the club will be responsible for putting up and taking down the flags at the courthouse on June 14 (Flag Day). Members will meet to put up flags at 6:30 a.m. and take them down at 5:30 p.m. Treasurer Savannah Fogle said statements will be mailed to members so that dues can be paid before the end of the fiscal year on June 30.

Mrs. Fogle will have the program at the June 1 meeting.

Carol Wilford

Bill and Kathy Waits took Denise and Junior Hamilton of Tindall to supper at Blackwater Restaurant in Chillicothe on Saturday, May 13. On Sunday, May 14, the Waits’ hosted a Mother’s Day celebration in their home serving sandwiches and cake and ice cream.

Naomi Campbell of Marshall spent the day with her parents, Dan and Carol Wilford, on Saturday, May 20. Mary Gonzalez and sons, Sammy, Joshua, and Andrew of Kansas City, KS, arrived at the Wilford’s late Saturday evening. They joined the Wilford’s at First Baptist Church on Sunday, then ate at the Milan Elks Lodge to support a scholarship fundraiser. While at the Wilford’s, the grandsons explored the area long Medicine Creek, helped water apple trees, picked up fallen limbs and other tasks. Before returning home on Monday evening, May 22, the Gonzalez’s attended the Laredo Lions Club.

The Laredo Lions Club met on Monday, May 22 at 6:30 p.m. at the Laredo Community Center. After saying the pledge to the flag, Dan Wilford opened the meeting with prayer. Then, a carry-in-meal was served. Members present were Bonna Dittberner, Martha Owen, Margaret Chapman, Dean Smalling and Dan and Carol Wilford. Guests included Steve Persell, Lynda McLaughlin, Sheila Thompson and daughter Emma, and Mary Gonzalez and sons, Sammy, Joshua and Andrew of Kansas City, KS. The reason the meeting was in the evening instead of the new time at 1:00, was to have the Lions Scholarship Award. This year Emma Thompson, a recent high school graduate from Chillicothe, was the only candidate. Her plans following high school are to

attend NCMC, then pursue an Animal Science Degree at either MU in Columbia or at NWMSU in Maryville. Lions Club President, Bonna Dittberner, presented Emma with the scholarship. A short meeting was held after the presentation. The annual Lions Basketball Classic will be held on June 2-3 at the Trenton High School this year due to construction in the NCMC gym. There will be no Lions meeting in June. The next regular meeting will be on Monday, July 10 at 1:00 p.m.

After spending some time at the Alpha Cemetery on Saturday morning, May 27, Luetta Lambrecht of Marshall stopped by to visit Dan and Carol Wilford. She didn’t get to see Dan since he was in Milan attending the Milan Old Timer’s Reunion. Luetta is Dan’s second cousin. She continued visiting cemeteries throughout the day after meeting up with her daughter, Rhonda Johnson, of Trenton.

Town and Country Garden Club Hears About Pink Primrose

The Town and Country Garden Club met at the rural Laredo home of Beverly Kimberling on Monday, May 22 with ten members in attendance. President Barb Peterson, opened the meeting by reading some inspirational quotes. New membership rosters were distributed. The landscaping at the high school in Galt was tidied up and looked nice for the alumni and graduation weekend. The recent trip to Marshall with stops at three greenhouses and lunch at a tea shop was reviewed. A trip to Powell Gardens near Kingsville was planned for June 6. The group is to meet at the old Penneys parking lot in Trenton to share rides.

Judy Jackson presented the lesson on pink Missouri primroses. They are a perennial native plant that spreads through a stout

fleshy root system and it reseeds itself. It has a sprawling habit and grows to 10 inches tall with a spread of about 2 feet. Primroses like partial shade and a constant level of good moisture - as a rule they do not like to dry out. In the spring, plants bloom both day and night, but typically in the pre-dawn hours, closing when the full sun hits them.

In olden times, evening primrose was used as a sedative, to treat gastrointestinal disorders and whooping cough. Modern herbalists use the herb and the oil from its seeds to treat eczema and other skin conditions.

After the meeting, Mrs. Kimberling served refreshments, with Carol Cook winning the hostess gift.

The next meeting will be June 26 at the home of Brenda Hein, north of Trenton.

AI help wanted

The rise of the type of artificial intelligence behind chatbots like ChatGPT is generating new jobs.

Since its debut last November, OpenAI’s ChatGPT has captured global interest in the new breed of AI systems that can generate convincingly human-like conversational answers, essays, images and more in response to questions from users.

Companies are racing to take advantage of the technology, creating an opening in the job market for workers with the right skills. It underscores how general purpose AI systems have the potential to transform much of

the right AI skills amid a wider tech slump.

daily life, including careers.

Job postings in the U.S. and Britain mentioning “generative AI” have surged since the start of last year, though the overall number is still small, according to data from Adzuna, a search engine for job ads.

That flicker of optimism is overshadowed by gloom in the wider tech sector, which has seen sweeping layoffs amid economic turbulence following years of growth.

Adzuna figures show that job ads mentioning AI in general have fallen over the past year, tracking a broader drop in tech postings.
