State COVID Numbers Setting Records Influenza Complicates Local Picture In Grundy County ST. LOUIS (AP) — The number of people being treated for COVID-19 across Missouri continues to set records as virus cases surge across the state and strain hospital capacity. The state Department of Health and Senior Services said 3,235 people were hospitalized with the virus statewide and about 15% of the state’s hospital beds remained available. That
number just topped 2,900 for the first time on Friday and exceeded the record of 2,862 set in December 2020. Locally, the Grundy County Health Department’s weekly update on Friday, Jan. 7 showed 44 new cases, a number that does not include home tests even when they are reported to the health department. There were 16 active cases, bringing the total number of cases reported since the pandemic began to 2,060. In addition, there have been 61 deaths attributed to the virus, which is an increase of three last week.
Further complicating the situation is widespread flu activity in the state, with Grundy County having 66 lab-confirmed flu cases in the past two months. Flu shots are available at the health department as are COVID-19 vaccinations and booster doses. Statewide, the seven-day rolling average of new COVID-19 cases hit a record Saturday at 7,058 cases before declining to 6,983 on Sunday. In the St. Louis area, that city's Metropolitan Pandemic Task Force said 1,283 people were being treated for COVID-19 at area hospitals Sunday. The St.
Louis Post-Dispatch reports that was the seventh day in a row that the number hit a new record. An average of 226 people a day have been admitted to St. Louis area hospitals with COVID-19 each day over the past week, up from 193 on Saturday. The Metropolitan Task Force includes BJC HealthCare, Mercy, SSM Health and St. Luke's Hospital. A total of 13,318 deaths and 891,287 virus cases have been reported in the state since the pandemic began.
Shifting Concerns Pose Challenges For Dems Voters Worrying Less About COVID Management, More About Economy In New Poll WASHINGTON (AP) — Heading into a critical midterm election year, the top political concerns of Americans are shifting in ways that suggest Democrats face considerable challenges to maintaining their control of Congress. A poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds that management of the coronavirus pandemic, once an issue that strongly favored President
Joe Biden and his fellow Democrats, is beginning to recede in the minds of Americans. COVID-19 is increasingly overshadowed by concerns about the economy and personal finances — particularly inflation — which are topics that could lift Republicans. Just 37% of Americans name the virus as one of their top five priorities for the government to work on in 2022, compared with 53% who said it was a leading priority at the same time a year ago. The economy outpaced the pandemic in the open-ended question, with 68% of respondents mentioning it in some way as a top 2022 concern. A similar percentage said the same last year, but mentions of inflation are much higher now: 14% this year,
compared with less than 1% last year. Consumer prices jumped 6.8% for the 12 months ending in November, a nearly fourdecade high. Meanwhile, roughly twice as many Americans now mention their household finances, namely, the cost of living, as a governmental priority, 24% vs. 12% last year. The poll was conducted in early December, when worries about the virus were rising as omicron took hold in the country, but before it sparked record caseloads, overwhelmed testing sites and hospitals and upended holiday travel. Still, in recent follow-up interviews with participants, including self-identified Democrats, many said those [See POLL, Page 6]

Fourth Quarter Grundy Gets Sweep In Gilman City Take Still ’Dog’s Time Panthers Both Ends Of Trenton Earns Yet Another Win Behind Late Rally TRENTON GIRLS 21 MAYSVILLE 18 MAYSVILLE 83 TRENTON BOYS 39 There are two things that stand out about the 20212022 Trenton High School girls basketball team. They defend like crazy and you don’t want to be in a close ballgame with the Bulldogs late. Maysville knows this first hand. They’ve lost two games against Trenton now when things have come down to the wire. Friday night in Maysville, Trenton picked up a Grand River Conference victory over the Wolverines in a game they trailed in for almost the entirety of the contest. In the end, though, Trenton had a 21-18 victory. Maysville led 7-4 one quarter in and didn’t lose that advantage until very late in the game. But Trenton’s stifling defense wouldn’t let Maysville run away. Maysville couldn’t score and after three quarters, the Wolverines had just 13 points on the scoreboard, leading 13-8. Maysville pushed the advantage to 16-11 midway through the final frame, but Trenton closed the contest on a 10-2 run to grab the win. Morgan King buried two huge three-pointers in the fourth quarter, one of which represented the goahead shot. She finished with six points and five rebounds and Chandler Lynch had six points and three steals. Madi Moore had five points and 16 rebounds and Mirena King rounded out the Trenton total with four points. “The offense just couldn’t get going at all, but our defense never took a possession off,” Trenton head coach Kameron Cool said. “Once again, we found a
way and that is a big difference between this year compared to last year.” Trenton also defeated Maysville in the semifinals of the Gallatin Tournament, winning that game on a buzzer-beating threepointer from Teya Cooksey. The Trenton girls have now reeled off four-straight wins to improve to 6-6 overall. Of the six wins Trenton has, four have been by six points or fewer. Trenton improved its standing in the GRC to 3-1 with the win. BOYS The Trenton boys weren’t out of it one quarter in, trailing just 1910. But Maysville caught fire in the second quarter, going on a 30-9 run that effectively extinguished Trenton’s hopes of win number one on the season. The Wolverines added eight points to the advantage in the third quarter and closed the game out with a 12-7 run in the fourth quarter. Trenton was led by Keifer Tolson, who had 10 points and Gabe Novak added nine. Trenton also got five points from Keegan Brown and four each from Hunter Smith and Seth Doolittle. Three points from Dylan Spencer and two each from Bradyn Sager and Trevor Murphy rounded out the Bulldogs’ total. “The guys are getting better with understanding the structure of the concepts that we are trying to incorporate every game,” Bulldogs’ head coach Corbin Coe said. “We are taking one to two things and making that the big thing for each game. Recognizing and reading defenses is a big one for us and we are seeing improvements with that each time out.” The loss dropped Trenton to 0-12 and 0-4 in the GRC. Both Trenton teams kicked off play at the Lawson Tournament on Monday.
Doubleheader
GRUNDY GIRLS 55 GILMAN CITY 44 GRUNDY BOYS 65 GILMAN CITY 41 The Grundy County High School basketball teams picked up a road sweep of Gilman City on Friday night in HDC Conference action. Grundy took the girls contest 55-44 and the boys game 64-41. In the girls game, Grundy trailed 13-7 after one quarter of play and chased those points for the next two frames. When the fourth quarter began, though, the Panthers took off. Grundy would outscore the Hawks 22-9 over the final eight minutes to pick up the conference victory. Adysan Rains had 21 points, seven rebounds, four steals and three assists in the win while Daya Allnutt added 18 points, 15 rebounds, eight steals and four assists. Grundy would also get 12 points, seven rebounds, four assists and four steals from Skylar Bonnett. Gilman was led by 11 points from Jolee Ward while Presley Burke scored 10 and Ava Langfitt finished with nine. Laina Ward added eight points in the loss. With the win, Grundy moved to 2-10 overall and 1-4 in HDC action while Gilman City fell to 5-7 on the season and 2-2 In HDC Conference play. A wild first quarter in the boys game staked Grundy to a 31-19 lead before things got much more defensive in the second. Neither team reached double figures in the second quarter as Grundy carried a 39-28 lead into the locker room at halftime. In the second half Grundy outscored Gilman in both the third and fourth quarters to seal the league victory. Cole Peterson had 39 points, 13 rebounds and three steals to pace the Pan-

Johnson, Gibson Go Undefeated On The Day, Johnson Gets 100th Win The Trenton Bulldogs’ undefeated run in dual wrestling meets ended Saturday at the Crossroads Dual Tournament in Cameron. Trenton, which entered the event 70 in head-to-head action, ran a 2-3 record at the tournament. Trenton was behind the eight ball from the get go, making the trip without four of its regular varsity starters due to illness. Most notably, Hunter McAtee (138) and Coleman Griffin (152), each ranked second at their respective weights, were absent. The result was a sub-par performance by Trenton’s terms. The Bulldogs fell 57-18 to Mexico — the fourth-ranked Class 2 team in the state — and 63-15 to Cameron — the second-ranked Class 2 team in the state. Trenton also dropped its final dual of the day, falling 40-30 to Sullivan — another Class 2 school. Trenton’s wins included a 60-18 win over Class 4 Park Hill and a 3925 victory over Class 2 Savannah. Despite the sub .500-record on the day, Trenton got some tremendous performances from Caleb Johnson, the top-ranked 220-pounder in the state at the Class 1 level, and Sam Gibson, ranked second in the state at 195. Both wrestlers were undefeated on the day, with Johnson netting his 100th career win at the event. Johnson needed sudden victory to get past Mexico’s Deacon Haag, who is ranked fourth in the state individually at the Class 2 level. Johnson was able to secure the points at the end, however, picking up the slim 31 victory. Johnson didn’t get tested much after his initial win as he pinned
his next four opponents in the first period to complete a 5-0 day. Gibson, meanwhile, got a win by forfeit against Mexico and a first period pin against Park Hill before picking up a 4-0 decision win over Cameron’s Paul Viena. He would pin each of his next two opponents to complete an undefeated day at the tournament. “[Johnson and Gibson] all got some great matches and had an amazing day,” Trenton head coach Charlie Bacon said. “Caleb Johnson picked up his 100th career win today, which was really exciting. I'm super proud of him and the rest of the boys.” Kaden Owen returned to the Trenton lineup and had a strong day, reeling off a 4-1 record. Owen ran into Mexico’s Jokiah Sewell, the second ranked 170-pounder in the state at the Class 2 level in his first match and was pinned. From there on, however, Owen marched through the rest of his matches without a loss. Owen picked up four straight pins, all at 160 pounds to close out his day. Brayden Hughs was 3-2 on the day at 132 pounds, getting a pair of wins by fall and a 4-2 decision victory. Hughs was pinned for one of his losses while his other defeat came via a 4-2 decision against the numberfive 132 pounder in the state at the Class 2 level — Mexico’s Grant VanHorn. Mason Rongey (126) was 2-2 at the event. He picked up a 9-3 decision win, picked up a pin and a win by forfeit while losing one match by pin and another by a 13-6 decision. Gavin Chambers was just 1-4 at the tournament, but only lost one match by fall. His victory came via pinfall. Milo Simpson stepped in for Griffin at 152 and went 1-4, getting his lone win by fall. The Bulldogs had no one to throw in McAtte’s place at
138. Trenton was also open at 106 for the tournament. At 113, Trusten Streett was 1-4 with a win by fall and Walter Olmstead was 0-5 at 120. Brayden Wiggins was 0-4 with one win by forfeit wrestling between 160 and 170 pounds. Gavin Cagle (285) was 1-2 on the mat with two wins by forfeit. His lone win on the mat was a pinfall. Logan Wilson went 1-3 on the mat at 182, getting his lone win by pin as well. Wilson also scored one win by forfeit. “The Crossroads Tournament in Cameron was a great tournament with lots of good competition,” Bacon said. “We had four wrestlers from our starting lineup at home sick, so I thought our younger guys did a great job of filling holes. We went 2-3 in duals, but we got some good mat experience against much bigger schools than us.” Trenton will be in Polo on Thursday for a triangular that also includes Marceline. Action on the mat is slated to begin at 5:30 p.m. GIRLS The Trenton High School girls wrestling team competed in the MidBuchanan Tournament on Friday. Avery Clark (141) and Jacey Hudson (235) each brought home third-place performances with 2-2 records at the event. Both Clark and Hudson won two by fall and lost two by fall at the tournament. Alison Yoder (159) was fourth in her weight class, going 1-3. Yoder won her lone match by fall. She was pinned twice and came out on the short end of a 4-2 decision for her other loss. Mercy Schweizer (120) was 0-2 at the event, getting pinned in both of her matches. Trenton’s girls will also be in Polo on Thursday.
Bulldogs Win Two At Carrollton Tri McAtee Picks Up 100th Career Victory At Tri TRENTON 42 MAYSVILLE 21 TRENTON 60 CARROLLTON 18 It wasn’t the sharpest the Trenton High School wrestling team has looked this season, but when the Carrollton triangular ended Thursday night, the Bulldogs were heading home with two wins. Trenton took advantage of open weights in their opponents’ lineups on the way to wins of 42-21 over Maysville and 60-18 over the host Trojans. Trenton faced Maysville first, with the Wolverines featuring a lineup with six holes in it. The Bulldogs were able to get four wins by forfeit in those weights, including three of the first four matches of the night. The lone weight battled on the mat in the early going
was 138, where Hunter McAtee picked up a second-period pin to help Trenton out to a 24-0 lead. Coleman Griffin lost by an 8-7 decision at 152 and Collin Taylor was pinned at 160 as Maysville got on the board. Other action on the mat saw Kaden Owen get a 103 decision win at 170, Sam Gibson get a 4-1 decision win at 195 and Gavin Cagle pick up a win by fall at 285. Jake Schmadeke (182) and Trusten Streett (120) were each pinned at their respective weights. “I thought we looked pretty rusty as a whole,” Trenton head coach Charlie Bacon said. “We just seemed to lack the intensity that I would have liked to see. We still were able to pull off a dual win.” Against Carrollton, Trenton was gifted six points at eight weights where the Trojans were open. On the mat, McAtee picked up a second win by fall. It was a special night for the junior grappler, who
collected the 100th win of his career with the victory over his Carrollton opponent. “A highlight of the night was the fact that Hunter McAtee got his 100th career win against Carrollton,” Bacon said. “I am really proud of what Hunter accomplished.” Chambers followed up McAtee’s win by fall with one of his own at 145. “Against Carrollton we were handed lots of open weights,” Bacon said. “But, I thought Gavin Chambers probably wrestled the best match of the night.” The only other matches contested on the mat saw
Streett pinned at 120 and Schmadeke pinned at 182. GIRLS There wasn’t very much action for the Trenton girls in Carrollton. Against the host Trojanettes, Avery Clark picked up a win by fall at 141 while Mercy Schweizer was pinned at 120. The remaining two weights earned Trenton wins by forfeit as the Bulldogs took the dual with Carrollton 18-6. All four Trenton wrestlers won by forfeit against Maysville, which had just one girls wrestler, who was not at any of the Trenton grapplers weights. Trenton took that dual 24-6.

According to a report filed by Trenton Fire Department Firefighter Dustin Whorton, the blaze was reported just before midnight at 1801 Chicago St. The call came in on the 911 emergency system and no one was at the residence, owned by Melanie Avery, when firefighters arrived. The fire was reported in the basement of the structure but firefighters found no blaze there when they arrived and made entry into the main level of the house where the blaze was found in one room above the furnace. The fire was extinguished and steps were taken to remove smoke from the house. A thermal imaging camera was also used to check for other hotspots. Firefighters were on the scene for about 90 minutes. There was extensive smoke and fire damage to the basement and extensive smoke and moderate fire
damage to the one room on the main level. No injuries were reported and the cause of the blaze remains undetermined. The fire department also responded to a blaze at 1806 Bolser St. early Monday morning, according to Lt. Jeremy Summers’ report. When firefighters arrived on the scene, smoke was showing from the eves and roof vents of the house, owned and occupied by Robbie and Betty Munson. Firefighters pulled the ceiling in the living room and extinguished the fire. There was moderate fire damage to the attic area above the living room, with light water and smoke damage reported. Firefighters were on the scene for about 90 minutes. The cause of the fire has been listed as electrical.

Extension Notes by University of Missouri Extension AMARYLLIS Kathi Mecham, Field Specialist in Horticulture, MU Extension Amaryllis are topical plants grown for their spectacular tubular flower. Whether for a novice or an experienced gardener they make an excellent choice for a gift. They are often given as gifts and seen blooming near the Christmas and holiday season. There are several different colors to choose from but the red and white are favorites around the holiday season. Amaryllis are easy to grow, need little care and don’t take up much space. These plants are great in an office if enough light is available. If you received a preplanted amaryllis this season, you can relax and with minimal care you should have a beautiful blooming plant in the coming weeks. There is some anticipation involved; as the stem emerges from the bulb, the buds enlarge but, it can take a few weeks for the bloom to fully open. When mine are nearing that stage I check it daily, sometimes more. I find beauty in every stage as it approaches full bloom. If your new plant came pre-planted, water it, place it in a sunny location and wait for the spectacular blooms. If you received an
unplanted bulb, select an attractive container about 2” wider than the bulb. Make sure the container has drainage holes. Use a loose potting mix and plant the bulb pointed end up with the upper one half of the bulb above the soil surface. A large bulb can produce several stems with up to six flowers each that can be 4”- 6” in diameter. Stems can grow from 10 to 16 inches tall and may need staking After blooming, cut the stem off and leave the foliage and feed with a houseplant fertilizer. The plant benefits from being outside when all chance of frost have passed. Place it in a sheltered location where it receives indirect light, no afternoon sun. Keep the plant consistently moist and fertilize. Bring the plant indoors and place in a cool location, around 50 degrees is perfect. Stop watering and let the foliage die back. Continue with no water for 4-6 weeks. After the dormant period, water thoroughly and place in a sunny location. Like the year before, the stem will emerge, start caring for the plant and wait for the blooms. For any questions about amaryllis contact Kathi at mechamk@missouri.edu or call 660-542-1792.

LOCAL STRAIGHT TALK WITH SAM Sixth District U.S. Rep. Sam Graves 1415 Longworth House Bldg. Washington D.C. 20515 Phone: 202-225-7041 REPLACING RURAL BRIDGES Highway Bridge Program to get the ball rolling on this program. Now, work is already underway on three bridges: the Route B Bridge in Linn County over Smokey Branch, the Route Y Bridge in Macon County over Hoover Creek, and the Route J Bridge in Lewis County over Big Grassy Creek. Here is a list of the rest of the bridges set to be replaced under the program in North Missouri: Route E in Lewis County over Sugar Creek Route E in Lewis County over Derrahs Branch MO 139 in Linn County over Lewis Creek Route C in Schuyler County over the North Fork of the Middle Fabius River Route M in Schuyler County over the South Fork of the North Fabius River MO 11 in Adair County over Floyd Creek MO 11 in Adair County over the South Fork of the South Fabius River Route M in Shelby County over Black Creek Route A in Schuyler County over Bushy Creek Route T in Adair County over the North Fork of the Salt River
You've probably noticed a few more road closures and detours over the last couple of years than usual. That's because the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has been working through their Focus on Bridges program to repair and replace more than 250 bridges across Missouri. That program launched in 2019 after I helped secure an $81.2 million INFRA Grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation to replace the I-70 Missouri River Bridge at Rocheport, unlocking additional state money for the program. Now, building on that, MoDOT has started work on the Fixing Access to Rural Missouri (FARM) bridge replacement program to replace another 31 bridges across North Missouri. All of the bridges are one-lane, weight-restricted, and supported by timber pile. Most of them are on lettered routes. More than half of them were expected to close in less than 8 years if they weren't replaced. Working with Governor Mike Parson and our MoDOT commissioners, we were able to secure a $20.7 million federal grant in 2019 through the Competitive
Route W in Scotland County over Tobin Creek Route WW in Linn County over Van Dorsen Creek Route C in Livingston County over Shoal Creek Route H in Scotland County over the North Fork of the North Wyaconda River Route E in Schuyler County over the North Fork of the South Fabius River Route A in Schuyler County over the North Fork of the Middle Fabius River Route C in Linn County of West Yellow Creek Route C in Sullivan County over Yellow Creek Route E in Sullivan County over West Locust Creek Route W in Grundy County over Gees Creek Route N in Grundy County over No Creek Route D in Chariton County over Clark Branch Route D in Chariton County over the East Fork of Bee Branch Route T in Gentry County over Fitzgerald Branch Route T in Gentry County over Brush Creek Route A in Worth County over Branch While this might not be great news if you hoped some of these road closures would ease up, this is great news for the shape of our rural bridges moving forward. I'm glad we're finally making some progress working through our maintenance backlog and thankful that Governor Parson and MoDOT are making this a priority. Working together, I believe we’ll continue to see progress on our rural roads and bridges in the years to come.

That sentiment reflects the challenge for Democrats at the onset of the election year. The party won the White House and control of Congress in 2020 with pledges to manage the pandemic more competently than the Trump administration. After initially earning high marks — roughly 70% approved of Biden’s handling

of the pandemic from late February through mid-July — the virus' persistence has undermined the new president’s message. Administration officials acknowledge that the public is growing increasingly weary of COVID-19. “Pandemic fatigue is real, and all of us feel it at some point,” Surgeon General Vivek Murthy said in an interview. “As a doctor, I’ve certainly seen it with my patients over the years. When you get tired and beaten down by a health problem — whether it’s a personal health problem or a broader public health challenge — it can lead to disengagement.” The White House says COVID-19's waning as a preeminent concern actually underscores its success rolling out preventative measures, including vaccines. It argues that economic jitters now exacerbated by the pandemic eventually will ease. Still, with Democrats likely struggling to campaign on the idea that they've now defeated the virus, the other issues gaining attention among voters pose more immediate political headaches. Judy Kunzman doesn’t blame Biden for the ongoing pandemic, calling it “just one of those events that are impossible to predict and almost as impossible to fix.” But she’s worried about continued supply chain disruptions, which affect “a lot of the other issues that we’re having: The rising food prices. The fact that I can’t buy my new car.” “Everything has chips and the chips aren’t there,” said Kunzman, 75, of Middletown, Pennsylvania, referring to a pandemic-fueled, global shortage of microchips many electronics depend on. She's waited months for the car she’d like to become available and noted that her sister faced difficulties finding a new cellphone. “It’s certainly not the victory the Democrats thought it would be,” Adam Brandon, president of the conservative activist group FreedomWorks, said of the government's virus response. “We’ll have another wave next year, and I just don’t think anyone’s going to care. I think we’re going to get to republican-times.com
a point where everyone’s just going to have to learn to live with it. This will die with a whimper as people just lose interest.” Many respondents in the survey said they're not suggesting the country ignore the pandemic. But compared with last year, higher percentages of people called out other issues, including immigration among Republicans and gun control among Democrats, as pressing in 2022. Some said they were encouraged by early indications that the latest outbreak, while spreading fast, could have milder effects for many. “I’m hopeful with omicron,” said Samantha Flowers, a 33-year-old community college teacher in Columbia, Missouri, which has its own open Senate seat on November’s ballot. “Even though more people are getting it, the sickness hasn’t been as harsh for most people. Since we’re all going to end up sick anyway, let it be one that we can recover from better.” Dorrie Keough from Garrettsville, Ohio, said she’s vaccinated against COVID-19 and gotten a booster shot, but is still staying home as much as possible because of omicron. “Whoever’s not in power is going to spin it in such a way to make it look worse than it might be,” said Keough, 68, whose state also has an open Senate seat this year. “As much reading as I do — and as much investigating that I do — it’s real hard for me to parse out what is actually happening versus what people are saying is happening.” Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, said the key to Democrats’ 2022 success is easing COVID19 fears — but also delivering tangible policy results. That includes passing Biden's “Build Back Better,” the massive social spending bill that remains stalled in the Senate. “I don’t think we’re going to win an election for lack of anxiety,” Green said, “if we’ve achieved nothing else." **************** Associated Press writer Zeke Miller contributed to this report. republican-times.com

Bob Saget, Beloved TV Dad Of 'Full House,' Dead At 65 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Bob Saget, the actor-comedian known for his role as beloved single dad Danny Tanner on the sitcom “Full House” and as the wisecracking host of “America’s Funniest Home Videos,” died while on a stand-up tour. He was 65. Deputies in Orange County, Florida, were called Sunday about an “unresponsive man” in a hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando and found Saget dead, according to a sheriff’s statement on Twitter. Detectives found “no signs of foul play or drug use in this case.” Saget was in Florida as part of his “I Don't Do Negative Comedy Tour.” After warm audience receptions to his gigs Friday in Orlando and Saturday in the Ponte Vedra Beach resort area, he celebrated online. “I’m back in comedy like I was when I was 26. I guess I’m finding my new voice and loving every moment of it,” he posted Saturday on Instagram. Fellow comedians and friends praised Saget not only for his wit, but his kindness. “I am broken. I am gutted. I am in complete and utter shock. I will never ever have another friend like him,” wrote John Stamos, who co-starred with Saget on “Full House.” “I love you so much Bobby.” “I have no words. Bob was one of the best humans beings I’ve ever known in my life. I loved him so much,” said Candace Cameron Bure, who played Saget’s daugh-
ter on “Full House.” “In often a ruthless business he was historically not just hilarious but more importantly one of the kindest human beings I ever met in my career,” actor Richard Lewis wrote on Twitter. In a statement Sunday, Saget's family members said they are “devastated to confirm that our beloved Bob passed away today.... Though we ask for privacy at this time, we invite you to join us in remembering the love and laughter that Bob brought to the world.” Saget the stand-up showed his flip side with what became a much-talked-about cameo in the 2005 documentary “The Aristocrats” — in which 100 comics riffed on the world’s dirtiest joke — that revealed his notoriously filthy sense of humor. Raunchy comedy wasn't part of his long-running network TV shows. He hosted the family friendly “America’s Funniest Home Videos” and played the squeaky clean widower and dad to three young girls on “Full House,” the ABC sitcom that also brought fame to Olsen twins Mary-Kate and Ashley when it debuted in 1987. “Bob was the most loving, compassionate and generous man. We are deeply saddened that he is no longer with us but know that he will continue to be by our side to guide us as gracefully as he always has,” the Olsens said in a joint statement. The show's popularity didn't deter
BRIEFS Baldwin: It's 'A Lie' That He's Not Helping Shooting Probe NEW YORK (AP) — Alec Baldwin said Saturday that any suggestion he's not complying with the investigation into last fall's deadly shooting on a New Mexico film set is a lie. At issue is a search warrant for Baldwin's cellphone, which authorities hope can provide information helpful in the probe. Baldwin was holding a revolver during a rehearsal for his movie “Rust” on Oct. 21 when it fired, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounding the film's director. Authorities still don't have the actor's phone. Baldwin said in an Instagram message posted Saturday that New Mexico has to go through New York law enforcement and the process of specifying exactly what is needed takes time. “They can't just go through your phone and take your photos, or your love letters to your wife, or what have you,” he said. Baldwin has said he didn't know the gun he was holding contained a live round when it went off. Investigators are trying to find where the live round came from and, in the search warrant for Baldwin's phone, said they are looking for text messages, images, videos, calls or any other information related to the movie. “Any suggestion that I am not complying with requests or orders or demands or search warrants about my phone, that's bull——, that's a lie,” he said.
Mississippi Shop Sees Deluge Of Orders After HGTV show OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss. (AP) — A south Mississippi art shop is shipping artwork across the U.S. and as far as Canada and Germany after a Walter Anderson print was featured on the HGTV show “Hometown.” Show hosts Erin and Ben Napier help homeowners renovate historic properties, The Sun Herald reported. They brought a camera crew to visit Realizations Ltd. in Ocean Springs last summer to learn how to make a silkscreen print with Anderson’s iconic designs, shop manager Mary Jo McCollins said. Napier was taught by Carolyn Anderson, Walter Anderson’s daughter-in-law, who has been making prints with his designs for five decades. Since the show aired earlier this month on HGTV, McCollins said business hasn’t stopped during what is traditionally a slow season at the store. The orders “are just bananas,” McCollins said. Realizations shipped 93 orders via UPS on a recent Wednesday, and McCollins said that doesn’t include local orders. It's not the first time Walter Anderson’s art has been featured on “Hometown,” but the extra air time with Erin Napier really helped business escalate. The storefront typically closes after the holidays for deep cleaning and inventory, but the high demand meant more work to fulfill orders. “Instead of counting and cleaning, a lot of our efforts have gone to packing and shipping,” McCollins said. “We just keep plugging away.”

critics, some calling it cheesy and others deeming it unreal. Saget, as amiable and droll in an interview as he was on TV screens, took the brickbats in stride. “‘Full House’ was a loving kind of show but obviously over the top. It had its heightened reality, a glossy Willy Wonka quality to it,” he told The Associated Press in a 2001 interview. That year, Saget took another pass at playing a widowed dad with winsome kids on the short-lived sitcom “Raising Dad.” He said he found himself repeatedly fielding questions about his habit of playing sitcom widowers, and had a ready response: “(Kevin) Costner does three, four baseball movies and that’s OK. There’s my rationale.” Saget was born in Philadelphia on May 17, 1956, to Benjamin, a supermarket executive, and Rosalyn, who worked in hospital administration. He graduated Temple University and enrolled briefly in the University of Southern California to study film. He left the college but stayed in Los Angeles and shifted to stand-up comedy, which led to small roles in TV and film before he found success with “Full House.” He also appeared in some episodes of the sitcom's “Fuller House” 2016-20 sequel and was heard as the narrator on “How I Met Your Mother,” which ran for nine seasons on CBS. “Bob Saget was the older wiser ‘me’ for nine years on How I Met Your Mother,”
tweeted cast member Josh Radnor. “He was the kindest, loveliest, funniest, most supportive man. The easiest person to be around. A mensch among mensches.” In guest appearances on the Hollywoodset dark comedy “Entourage,” Saget played a warped character named Bob Saget who was foul-mouthed but, unlike the man himself, was a misogynist and worse. In early 2020, Saget was preparing for the start of his comedy tour when the pandemic put it on hold. He turned his energies to a podcast, “Bob Saget’s Here For You,” which gave fans an open mic to comment and ask him questions. He focused occasionally on directing over the years, including on HBO's “The Mind of the Married Man,” and the Norm Macdonald film “Dirty Work,” and appeared on Broadway in “Hand to God” and in “The Drowsy Chaperone.” He drew praise as producer-director of the 1996 TV film “For Hope,” loosely based on the battle of his late sister, Gay, with the tissue disease scleroderma, and appealed for increased federal support for research funds. He remembered his sister in a January 2020 post, noting that she died when she was 47 and would have been 73 that month. Saget had daughters Aubrey, Lara and Jennifer with first wife Sherri Kramer before divorcing in 1997. He married Kelly Rizzo in 2018.
'Jeopardy!' Champ Hits $1 Million; Talks Fame, Trans Rights LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Jeopardy!” champion Amy Schneider is adding to her list of bragging rights and admirers. Already the highestearning female contestant in the quiz show's history and the woman with the longest winning streak, on Friday she became one of only four “Jeopardy!” players to reach seven figures in regular-season winnings. She's collected $1.02 million in 28 victories, solidifying her 4th-place position on the list that includes Ken Jennings with $2.5 million; James Holzhauer, $2.46 million, and Matt Amodio, $1.52 million. Schneider, who's also fourth in consecutive wins, will compete again Monday. Poised and affable on TV and in an interview with The Associated Press, she doesn't seem the gloating type. But she is tickled by the fact that she's fulfilled a prediction made by her 8th-grade classmates in Dayton, Ohio: She was voted most likely to be a “Jeopardy!” contestant, based on her geography and spelling bee prowess. More significantly, she's the first transgender person to qualify for the show's tournament of champions. In a series of tweets last November, Schneider said she's proud to be a trans woman and wants people to know that aspect of her, adding, “but I’m a lot of other things, too!” Schneider's “Jeopardy!” achievements have made her both an inspiration and a target for transphobic insults online — which she batted away with the same

aplomb she displays on TV. Fun fact: Schneider is proud of a podcast she did on “Downton Abbey” and invites those who are interested to listen to “hundreds of hours of content” about the PBS series. Schneider, an engineering manager living in Oakland, California, recently talked with AP about her newfound fame, keeping her day job — but dreaming about an entertainment career — and being a voice for the trans community. Remarks have been edited for clarity and length. AP: Are you having pinch-me moments over how well you've done on 'Jeopardy!’? Schneider: Absolutely. Just seeing myself on TV still is almost a shock, even though I was there when it all happened. I thought I could win some games but I didn’t think I would do this well. The other day, my girlfriend mentioned some famous people that had gone to her high school, and I was thinking, “I know there was somebody who went to mine." I looked it up on Wikipedia and there I was, listed under notable alumni. That was a very weird moment to see that. AP: You've mentioned actor Laverne Cox and comedian Natasha Muse as trans women you find inspiring. Have you heard from viewers who see you as a role model? Schneider: I have definitely heard from other trans people who have been sort of thrilled to see me out there. But one of the things that I’ve enjoyed the most is hearing from parents, and sometimes grandparents, of trans
people, an older generation. There's a lot of fear for their loved ones who are trans, and worry that they might be limited in life. To be able to go out there and show that I can be successful in a very mainstream type of way has, I think, made a lot of them feel better about the people in their lives. AP: Given that Cox and Muse are both performers, is that something that touches a chord in you? You've done acting, and is comedy something you're interested in? Schneider: I've done open mics around town, just for fun and not seriously pursued it, but I’ve been a performer my whole life. As I was struggling with the necessity of coming out, definitely one of the fears was, ‘Will I still be comfortable in public and will I still be able to perform after I transitioned?’ And seeing them definitely helped with that. AP: Is a career in entertainment your goal? Schneider: I’m dreaming of it. I don’t know exactly in what direction I would want to take that, and I don’t know what opportunities will be available coming out of this (the show). But I’ve been working on my writing as a field I might find some opportunities in. Beyond that, I’m just sort of riding it out and kind of seeing what may or may not come up as it goes along. AP: Last month, after you got a Twitter shoutout on your “Jeopardy!” success from Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan of Ohio, you asked your followers in the state to consider

that a vote for a Republican in this year's elections would make your life harder. How did you decide to make a statement that puts you on a different level of exposure? Schneider: I definitely thought about it, and I don't want my social media to be a place where people are arguing about politics all the time. But at the same time, I can’t ignore the fact that there’s people out there threatening my brothers and sisters in the trans community. Here I have a chance to say something about it, and I can’t be completely silent. I don’t necessarily want to be super-activist about it and constantly banging that drum. But I can’t be silent either, when I know that there’s so many people in danger of real hurt and harm from political policies. AP: You had a polite response to someone who took you to task for the tweet. Schneider: I grew up in a Republican household and a Catholic environment, and many people I love are conservative in various ways. I know them, and I know they're not intentionally out there doing harm and that they have reasons for the positions that they hold. So I want to engage people from (across) the spectrum where that's possible. But it has to be in a condition where my right to exist is granted, otherwise we can’t talk.

LAWN & GARDEN
Around The Lawn And Garden
January Tips From The University Of Missouri Extension TREES AND SHRUBS Brush off heavy snow from trees and shrubs to avoid limb breakage. Heavy snow will break or damage branches leaving a wound and making the tree more susceptible to insects and disease. Winter is a great time to get out and learn to identify trees. Plants with interesting bark, distinctive buds, evergreen foliage, persistent fruit or a unique branching structure stand out when other plants are bare. Witch Hazel, a shrub or small tree with arching branches generally growing as a dense, multistemmed clump provides color with its yellow flowers when nothing else is in bloom during late fall and winter months. Plants in this family (Hamamelis), do not all bloom at the same time, nor do they always bloom at the same time every year. Bloom time depends on the weather. The common witch hazel (H. virginiana) peaks between mid-October and mid-November. A few of the spring-flowering witch hazels can start blooming by the end of December or early January depending upon weather, but peak flowering occurs between mid-January and mid-March in Missouri. IN THE LANDSCAPE This time of the year ornamental grass, red twigged dogwood and evergreens add color to a dreary landscape. Birds can also add color and enjoyment. A lot of gardeners enjoy watching and feeding birds, which can have a hard time finding food during the winter months. A favorite seed of a lot of birds is the black oil sunflower seed. Consider planting sunflowers in your garden next summer and saving the seed to feed the birds in the winter.
Birds need shelter. Natural plant covers aid birds seeking protection from cold weather. Shelter is also needed for protection against natural predators, such as birds of prey and cats. The feeding area is greatly enhanced by a landscape with trees and shrubs, both deciduous and evergreen. A rich growth of grasses and flowering plants provides cover for nesting in the spring and summer and natural sources of seeds during the winter. FRUIT & VEGETABLES Garden catalogs start arriving after Christmas and can provide hours of reading enjoyment and dreaming about gardening next summer. I like to look through catalogs for new varieties that are available. I also enjoy looking at heirloom seed catalogs for different or unusual vegetables I might want to try. Seeds of cool-season crops such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and Brussels Sprouts can be started indoors in February for setting out in the garden in late March. In January and February food is often scarce, the ground is covered with snow and rodents turn to the trunks of fruit trees as a food source, often causing some major damage. Mice, squirrels, rabbits and other rodents will nibble on the bark, often girdling the tree, which will send it into decline or even kill it. Deer also cause damage to fruit trees. Protect trees from deer by erecting a fence or some kind of barrier around your trees. Pruning of blueberry plants, grapevines, other small fruits and fruit trees can start around mid-February. Dormant sprays can also be applied at this time to help control overwinter-
ing pests. Dormant spray should be applied on a mild day while temperatures are above freezing. GARDEN SUPPLIES Winter is a good time to clean tools that were tossed in the garden shed, caked with mud last fall. Scrape off all soil and clean tools to prevent rusting. Oil them if needed. Clean out the garden shed. Throw out old seed, as most is only good for 2-3 years. It is recommended that fresh seed be used each year for best germination results. After several years, pesticides become ineffective. Read the label for proper disposal instructions. Give away or recycle old pots. Take an inventory of supplies and make a list of what is needed for the next gardening season. Use this time to make new garden markers. Old window shades make great plant labels. Dust off the old shades in the closet or head to a local thrift store to purchase some for a small cost. CONTAINER PLANTS/ HOUSEPLANTS If you didn’t decorate outdoor containers for the holidays, consider decorating them for winter color. I cut pine and cedar branches, buckbrush (also known as coralberry) and red twigged dogwood and place them in outdoor pots. I also add pinecones. Bows or winter ornaments could also be added. Overwintering container plants can be a little tricky. Many people try to overwinter hanging baskets or container plants of annuals, tropical hibiscus and many others, only to find during the winter months that it’s really not as easy to maintain them as it was outside during the summer. These plants tend to turn yellow, drop leaves, be infested with insects, and often die. It is hard to duplicate the same environmental conditions in your home as the plants were exposed to outdoors, where they were in warm to hot and humid conditions. Inside your
home the air is usually dry and temperatures are much lower than what the plants were exposed to outdoors. These differences in environmental conditions cause leaves to turn yellow and drop from the plants. Insects that were hidden in the soil or on the undersides of leaves often multiply and infest your plants under these conditions. If you are dealing with buggy plants, try spraying them off with water, wipe them off with a cotton ball of alcohol, or try an insecticidal soap. If they are beyond recovery, you should discard them. This is the time of the year to repot houseplants that need repotting and clean encrusted pots. Inspect houseplants for insects, and take off any brown, dead leaves. Over-watering is one of the top reasons houseplants die, so only water them when the soil is dry to the touch. The soil will be light colored when moisture is needed. When moist, the soil will look dark. LAWNS Never park or drive on a wet or snow covered lawn as this can cause ruts and compact the soil. Avoid getting salt or ice melt on the lawn, and nearby plants. To prevent damage, spray off plants with water and wash off affected areas of the lawn. Consider using an ice melt containing magnesium chloride. It is less harmful than rock salt, sodium chloride, and it works faster and at lower temperatures. It will cost more than rock salt, but it is worth to avoid damaging plants. MISCELLANEOUS Christmas trees can be recycled outdoors as a feeding station for birds. String garlands of peanuts, popcorn, cranberries, and fruits through their boughs. Christmas tree boughs can be used to mulch garden perennials. A light dusting of wood ashes from a fireplace can be applied to lilacs, baby’s breath, asters, lilies, and roses in spring.
New Year’s Resolutions For The Home Gardener
1. Feed the birds. Hang various types of bird feeders in the yard and keep them filled through the winter. 2. Order seeds for plants not commonly found in garden centers. There are so many wonderful hybrid and heirloom varieties to choose from. In 2021, I grew ‘Ha’ogen’ melon. It is a honeydew type of a melon and it is delicious! Catalogs list it as one of the sweetest, most aromatic melons you will ever taste. You can find it at Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company or Seed Savers Exchange. I also grew ‘Canary Yellow’ zinnias. They are an all-yellow zinnia and quite beautiful. I found the seed locally. 3. Ask your parents and grandparents what they grew in their gardens. Maybe you could grow what your great grandma grew years ago. 4. Start a compost pile if you don’t already have one. Compost your kitchen scraps. 5. Plant native plants or wildflowers to attract more pollinators. Plant for all seasons so bees and butterflies have a food source from early spring through the fall. Plant milkweed for monarchs. Some common varieties include tropical, swamp, common, and butterfly weed. Check local nurseries in your area for plants. 6. Share cut flowers from your garden, and excess produce with others. You’ll put a smile on their face, and yours! The Gladiolus is my favorite cut flower. Excess garden produce can be donated to local food pantries. 7. Support local growers at farmers’ markets. Farmer’s Markets today, have a nice variety of produce and baked goods. I look forward to Saturday mornings at the Kirksville Farmers’ Market. It’s fun to stroll through the market and visit producers, get a fresh squeezed lemonade, a bar of homemade soap, and a baked good or two, or something I’m not growing in my garden. 8. Eat outside whenever possible and enjoy the fresh air, the early morning sunrises and the evening sunsets. Take a walk and take time to notice the beauty of your garden and surroundings. In other words, stop and smell the roses! 9. Volunteer for garden projects in your community. Grundy County has a community garden located north of the Community Food Pantry. The Pantry for Adair County has 10 garden beds to grow fresh produce for their clients. Help is needed in planting and maintaining these beds during the summer. 10. Take a gardening class like the Master Pollinator Steward or Master Gardener training. These courses will be offered late summer through fall. They will be offered as a hybrid course, Zoom for lecture, and in-person for tours and hands-on activities. There will also be a lavender class and field day offered in the summer. For children, Garden n’ Grow will be offered for the 22nd year in 2022 at the Adair County Extension Center.
Focus On Ornamental: Winterberry Winterberry (Ilex verticillate), is a type of native deciduous holly. Winterberry is dioecious, which means it has separate male and female plants. Only fertilized female flowers will produce berries, so there must be a male plant in the area. Cultivars of winterberry such as ‘Winter Red’ are often sold in bundles of male and female plants to ensure berry production. Winterberry will grow in a variety of soil types and does well in full sun, although it can tolerate partial shade. It is considered a medium-sized shrub reaching an average mature height and width of 6-8 feet. The bright red berries will often last throughout the winter and are attractive to birds and other wildlife. Winterberry is a background plant in the summer months, but becomes the center of attention when covered with the beautiful berries in winter.

Dear Annie: I used to write every day -- mostly poems but also essays. I really want to get back into it, but my motivation has waned. When I used to write every day, I was deeply depressed, and writing was an outlet, a stress reliever. I still want to write, but I never seem able to get myself to actually put pen to paper. I don't want to believe that I have to be depressed in order to write. I know I'm also a good writer when I'm not depressed. I think that part of the problem is I'm scared of writing something bad, thinking that if I can't write a beautiful first draft, there's no point in writing at all. (Obviously, that's a rather toxic mindset.) Do you have any tips for how I could discipline myself to actually write something while not worrying about the outcome? -- Wrestling a Writing Rut Dear Wrestling a Writing Rut: Every writer intimately knows the feelings you describe, including yours truly.

points to keep in mind. Deadlines are your friend. If columns weren't due weekly, I would never finish them. I know it can be hard to meet self-imposed deadlines. One way to get external ones is to join a writing group or to take a writing class online or through a local college. Perfectionism equals paralysis. Fortunately, the deadlines should help with this, too. When something is due, you have to make peace with the fact that it's not perfect. Done is better than perfect. Confront the fear of failure by writing a deliberately crummy story. Read it back to yourself. See that the world did not end because you wrote something lackluster. This might also help to infuse some levity into your practice, which can be wind beneath the creative wings. "Gamify" the process. Look for writing prompts online. Set a kitchen timer, and don't pick up your pen until it dings, no matter what you're writing.

Lastly, remember that the only way to really fail is to not try. So get writing. Dear Annie: I'm a teenage boy. My mom hates that I'm gay. She says that the whole family is disappointed in me. But it's only my dad's side of the family who hates me for it. My mom can't accept me for me. I try to ignore her, but it will always be there. I've started drinking to block out the memories, but that only works for a little while. I have feelings of hatred toward her, but I care about her, too. I don't know what to do. I believe that God made me this way. I feel so depressed and full of rage. -- Black Sheep Dear Black Sheep: You are not alone.

Refueling relief? Drivers are feeling considerable pain at the pump these days, but they may see a bit of relief next year as oil production increases. The average price of regular gasoline across the United States hit its highest level since September 2014 in November when it topped out at $3.39 per gallon. That’s up 10 cents from October and $1.29 per gallon higher than the price a year earlier. The price of gasoline has been steadily increasing since April 2020 when it fell below $2 a gallon for the first time since March 2016 as demand fell off because so many people started working from home at the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration predicts that gas prices will slip to $3.01 per gallon in January and continue declining into the spring. Overall, gas prices are expected to average $2.88 per gallon in 2022. “Our forecast for increased crude oil production suggests some decrease in prices at the pump over the next year,” said Steve Nalley, acting administrator of the EIA. But the forecast could change significantly if the emergence of the new highly contagious omicron variant of the coronavirus hurts oil demand or creates a major drag on the economy. “This is a very complicated environment for the entire energy sector,” Nalley said.
