HARVEST IN PROGRESS

If you couldn’t tell, harvest season is upon us and local farmers were able to be in the field virtually all of last week, with this week looking a little soggy. According to the USDA, Missouri farmers were about half-way through the corn harvest as of Oct. 3, with the soybean harvest just getting under way. Above, a local farmer shells corn east of Trenton early last week.

Daviess County Gets A Clean Audit Recommendations Are Made To PA And Commission The Missouri State Auditor’s Office has released the findings of its audit for Daviess County, which found no material weaknesses but does offer a few recommendations.

The audit covered the two years ending Dec. 31, 2020 and listed recommendations for changes in the internal controls for the prosecuting

attorney’s office. It also recommended that the county commission review its procurement policy in regard to statutory rules governing contracts and that it review Federal Emergency Management Agency reporting requirements.

According to the audit report, the prosecuting attorney’s ledgers and escrow account bank statements shows the office did not issue any checks during the fourth calendar quarter of 2020.

Only one payment of restitution money was deposited during this time. The report said the prosecuting attorney does not maintain a complete accounting ledger showing the running balance of cash after each transaction. Separate ledgers of receipts and disbursements are maintained using different software programs. The office does not perform monthly bank reconciliations or otherwise track outstanding items which have not cleared the

bank. Virtually all accounting functions, including receipt of payments, bank deposits and preparation of checks are performed by one clerical employee in the office with no documented oversight from the prosecuting attorney.

The audit states that additionally, collections of fees from the Missouri Office of Prosecution Services (MOPS) were turned over to the Daviess County Treasurer once during the two years ended Dec. 31, 2020. That turnover occurred in April 2020 and included MOPS fees from the months of March 2018 through April 2020 totaling $7,657.

The audit showed that bank reconciliations were not performed. Although the prosecuting attorney, Andrea “Annie” Gibson, manually signed all checks, there is no evidence she reviewed monthly bank statements or otherwise exercised regular oversight of the accounting

function.

Lack of monthly turnovers was attributed to the prosecuting attorney being a parttime position. A lack of adequate staffing in her office was also cited as an explanation.

According to auditors, the absence of a proper accounting ledger, monthly bank account reconciliations, monthly turnovers to the treasurer and supervisory oversight of the accounting function increase the likelihood that accounting errors or a misappropriation of funds would not be detected in a timely manner.

The auditors recommend the prosecuting attorney’s office implement internal controls to ensure the timely collection of restitution payments and disbursement of monies received. It is also recommended that the office maintain a complete general ledger showing the running total of cash per books and [See AUDIT, Page 6]

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL — WEEK 7 TRENTON BULLDOGS 34, MAYSVILLE WOLVERINES 8 POLO 41, PRINCETON 18

Tigers Show More Fight, Still Fall — doing so with a big play.

Logan Smith dialed up a 58yard touchdown pass to Talan Holt. After Polo answered with their third score, Princeton got the score from Brown in the to cut the lead to 19-12.

It would be almost all Polo from that point, however, as the Panthers put the ball in the end zone three more times before the final whistle. Princeton was able to score once more on a 28yard run by Andrew Rhoades, but that did little to change the outcome as Polo took the 23-point win.

Princeton was paced by Rhoades, who had 110 yards on the ground to go with his touchdown on 11 carries.

Brown followed with 84 yards and his score on 16 carries.

Holt caught three passes for 76 yards and a touchdown. Smith completed just 4-of-12 passes for 79 yards with one touchdown and one interception.

“Offensively we had an extremely positive game,” Powell said. “Our execution is getting sharper and our kids are beginning to play faster within our schemes. It hasn’t showed in the win column, but we are beginning to see our kids play more confidently.”

With the loss, Princeton fell to 0-7 overall on the season and 0-5 in the GRC. The Tigers travel to South Harrison this week.

Princeton Gets Within A Score In Third Quarter

NATE BURKEYBILE turns up field after hauling in a catch in Trenton’s 34-8 win over Maysville on Friday at C.F. Russell Stadium. Burkeybile caught two passes for 90 yards and a touchdown and ran back an interception for a defensive touchdown as well.

THREE IN THE THIRD

Bulldogs Run Away From Maysville Behind Three Third-Quarter Scores Trenton head coach Kevin Hixson was a little nervous at halftime on Friday night with his team deadlocked with the visiting Maysville Wolverines at 8-8.

Those nerves disappeared in the third quarter.

Trenton scored three times in the third frame, turning a defensive battle into a rout. By the end of the night, Trenton had a bounce-back, 34-8 Grand River Conference victory.

“I told them at halftime ‘you guys are making me kind of nervous because we are a little flat,’” Hixson said. “They like to prove me wrong so they went out there and got after it a little bit. They played incredibly hard, it was good.”

It was Gabe Novak who sparked the Trenton rally in the third. The sophomore running back had just four carries in the opening half, one of which resulted in a 46-yard touchdown for Trenton’s first touchdown of the night. His first carry of the second half mirrored his long touchdown as he once again went 46 yards for a touchdown.

When Tyler Brown romped into the end zone from 10-yards out early in the third quarter Friday night, the Princeton Tigers were right there with the Polo Panthers — a team sharing the lead in the Grand River Conference standings.

Brown’s score brought Princeton to within seven points of the first-place Panthers and illustrated a hallmark of the young Tiger team — battling to the bitter end.

Unfortunately, losing has also been a weekly occurence for Princeton and Polo scored three more times in the second half, pulling away for a comfortable 41-18 victory on the Tigers’ Eddie Allen Field. “[This] was our best overall game of the season,” Princeton head coach Nathan Powell said. “Defensively we did a great job on our assignments, but Polo just out executed us. We had people at the point of attack but credit to Polo, their kids were still able to make plays when they needed them.”

Polo struck twice in the opening frame, making things look like the Tigers could be in for a long night.

But as has been the case all year, Princeton fought back

TRENTON DEFENDERS bring down a Maysville runner during the Bulldogs’ 34-8 win over the Wolverines on Friday.

After Caleb Johnson came up with a big tackle for loss on third down on the Wolverine’s first possession of the second half, Maysville was forced to punt and the

momentum really started surging Trenton’s way.

GALLATIN BULLDOGS 38, PUTNAM COUNTY MIDGETS 6

Gallatin Handles Putnam Bulldogs Stay Tied At Top Of GRC With Road Victory It was a long bus ride for the Gallatin Bulldogs traveling to Putnam County on Friday night. But the Bulldogs showed no ill effects from the trip, taking care of business with a 38-6 victory over the host Midgets.

The win moved Gallatin to 5-2 overall and more importantly, kept Gallatin in a tie for first play in the Grand River Conference with a 4-1 league mark.

“It is a long haul to Unionville and there is no good way of getting there,” Gallatin head coach Patrick Treece said. “It took us a little while to wake up through warmups and the beginning of the game but settled in and started executing well.”

Draven Wright spurred

Gallatin on early, scoring touchdowns on both sides of the ball to give the Bulldogs an early 12-0 lead.

When Jagger Gray punched in a touchdown run with 4:44 left before halftime, Gallatin sat comfortably in front despite failing to convert on any of the point-after attempts.

Putnam County would momentarily pump a bit of intrigue back into the matchup by taking the ensuing kickoff to the house, but Peyton Baker found Boston Bell for his first touchdown pass of the night to send the Bulldogs into the locker room with a 24-6 lead at the break.

Baker would hit Gray for a long touchdown pass in the second half and an interception return for a touchdown by Isaac Bird gave the game its final score.

“I was most impressed by our defensive effort,”

Treece said. “Anytime you can get two defensive scores, you will take it.

Another good sign for us was in our ability to sustain drives, move the chains, and cap them off with scores. We had another big offensive output with over 400 yards of offense, which was nice to see. We were balanced offensively and efficient in the passing game. We have to be able to do all of those things to have continued success.”

Baker had another big game under center, completing 18-of-25 passes for 249 yards and three touchdowns. Wright was his top target, catching eight balls for 105 yards while also rushing 11 times for 36 yards on the ground. Gray caught two passes for 68 yards and rushed for 41 yards on 13 carries. Bird caught four passes for 39 yards and Bell had three receptions for 37 yards.

DRAVEN WRIGHT carries the ball during Gallatin’s 38-6 win over Putnam County Friday night in Unionville. Wright scored touchdowns on both offense and defense in the win.

Gallatin will now turn its attention to the Trenton Bulldogs as two of the three teams tied with 4-1 conference records will square off in a contest that will most likely be for at least a share of the GRC title. Polo, the other team with a 4-1 conference mark, will be at home this week, playing host to the Milan Wildcats. Polo holds

wins over both Trenton and Gallatin this year.

“I believe that we are getting better every week and the guys are getting more comfortable in their roles and understanding of the game,” Treece said. “In the last several weeks we have done a great job of focusing on the task at hand and that shows with our performances the last few

weeks. We obviously have a big game this week with Trenton who is playing well right now and much improved from a year ago.

We will have to be disciplined defensively this week and play our brand of football.”

The game will be a Pink Out game for the host Bulldogs and kickoff is set for 7 p.m.

TRENTON

ON TO STATE Leininger, Soriano Punch Ticket To State Tournament Astrid Soriano and Lydia Leininger did not start the season playing doubles together. They will end the season as doubles partners, though, playing in the state tournament in Springfield this weekend.

Saturday at the individual sectional tournament at Lee’s Summit High School, Soriano and Leininger combined to top Harrisonville’s number-one doubles tandem 7-6 (7-4), 6-1 to advance to state.

“Astrid and Lydia have improved as a doubles team throughout our season by diligently improving their shots, ball placement and communication with each other on the court,” Trenton coach Tammy Ockenfels said. “They feed off of each other very well during their matches and are supportive of each other.”

Harrisonville’s duo entered the one-match playoff as the Class 1, District 13 champions, taking on Soriano and Leininger, runnersup from District 15.

Leininger and Soriano trailed 4-1 in the opening set before rallying to tie it at 6-6. That sent the two teams into the tiebreaker

where Soriano and Leininger came through with a 7-4 win.

“I went and talked to them during their changeover and stressed if they played together, they could win.” Ockenfels said.

“They came from behind and won the first set in a tiebreaker. Then, they dominated in their second set. It was amazing.”

The emotional swing of the tiebreaker going Trenton’s way was obvious when the second set began.

The Trenton duo had no trouble completing the win, dispatching of Harrisonville 6-1 in the second set.

Also in action for Trenton at the sectional was Mallory Sole, who was the individual singles cham-

pion from District 15 coming in. She would not be able to push through to state, however, as she fell 6-1, 2-6, 6-7 (9-11). It was a heartbreaker for a senior, who dominated much of the opening set. But things took a turn in the second and, despite forcing a tiebreaker, Sole was unable to bounce back in the decisive third set.

Alaina Overton, who was runner-up to Sole at districts, was also in action for Trenton, falling 6-4, 61 in her sectional match.

The season will continue one more weekend for Leininger and Soriano, who will be in Springfield for the state doubles bracket - which has yet to be created.

Trenton Falls In Extras King’s Game-Tying Double All For Naught CAMERON 7, TRENTON 6 (8 INNINGS) Twice Trenton rallied against the visiting Cameron Dragons on Thursday night at Griffin Field. Once Trenton was able to tie the game, but the second time there just wasn’t quite enough gas left in the tank.

A two-run double by Morgan King in the bottom of the seventh inning tied the contest at 5-5 and forced extra innings, but Trenton fell one run short, losing 7-6.

Trenton entered the bottom of the seventh down 5-2 before launching a threerun rally capped by King’s heroics. Gracyn Rongey singled to lead off the frame, breathing new life into the Trenton offense. Mirena King would walk two batters later and Madi Moore drove home Rongey, setting the table for Morgan King’s double that plated Mirena King and Moore and tied the game.

King would be stranded on second, however, as Cameron got back-to-back strikeouts to deny Trenton a walk-off victory.

A two-run home run for the Dragons in the eighth left Trenton scrambling for another comeback bid in the bottom of the bonus frame.

It appeared Trenton was up to the chal-

lenge as Shay Westerhof singled to lead off the inning, then stole second and third before coming home on a passed ball. Rongey then singled, representing the tying run on first base with one out. Rongey stole second, but a flyout and back-to-back strikeouts killed the rally and left Trenton with a one-run loss.

Rongey finished the game going 3-for5 with a run scored and Morgan King was 2-for-3 with the double, two RBIs and a run scored. Trenton also got a hit, an RBI and a run scored from Mirena King and Chandler Lynch, Moore and Westerhof all had one hit and one run scored in the loss.

Teya Cooksey had a hit and an RBI. Emma Roberts took the loss in the circle, allowing seven runs, five earned, on 11 hits and one walk while striking out three in eight innings pitched.

With the loss, Trenton fell to 9-18 overall on the season. Trenton was scheduled to be at home one final time in 2021, playing host to Chillicothe on Monday, weather permitting. The Bulldogs will begin Class 2, District 6 play as the six seed on Wednesday, playing host Putnam County on the road in Unionville.

Despite the seeding discrepancy, Trenton picked up a 3-1 win over Putnam County in Unionville when the two teams faced off in Grand River Conference play back on Sept. 1. The district match-up between the two schools is scheduled for a 7 p.m. first pitch.

Gallatin Third At Princeton Tourney Third Quarter Host Tigers Get Surge Lifts ’Dogs Consolation Win Over Mercer, 2-1

The Gallatin High School softball team brought home some hardware from the George Scurlock Memorial Tournament in Princeton on Saturday, besting Milan 104 in the third-place game.

The Bulldogs were a little shorthanded at the tournament with players missing for various reasons.

“Overall it was a pretty successful tournament,” Gallatin head coach Penny Gardner said. “The girls battled even being short four of our girls to band and illness this weekend.

This also meant that AnnaBelle [Ball] was my only pitcher for the day.”

Gallatin opened the event with a 16-6 rout of the Chillicothe junior varsity, but the Bulldogs were relegated to the third-place game with a 12-0 loss to eventual tournament champion Braymer in the semifinals.

But the day ended on a high for the Bulldogs as they secured the third-place trophy with the win over the Wildcats.

about this game with Belle pitching the first two,” Gardner said. “However, our defense stepped up and our bats came to work.”

Ashley Feiden and Abigail Burns each drove in four runs on the day to pace the Bulldogs’ offense.

Betty Rogers and Karydon Jones each batted .500 for the tournament and Presley Wells hit .429.

Princeton, meanwhile, suffered a 3-1 loss to Pattonsburg — which finished runner-up to Braymer — in the opening round before

coming back to pick up a narrow 6-5 win over Albany in the consolation semifinals. That set up a Mercer County showdown in the consolation game where the Tigers picked up their second win of the season over the Mercer Cardinals, this one by a 2-1 score.

Gallatin went to 12-10 overall on the season with the 2-1 showing in Princeton. The Tigers, meanwhile, moved to 13-11 on the season. Mercer now stands at 13-9 overall.

Both Princeton and Mercer will be in Class 1, District 16 action in Eagleville this week. Mercer plays East Harrison on Wednesday at 6 p.m. with the winner taking on Princeton on Thursday at 7:30 p.m.

Gallatin, meanwhile, will be in Class 2, District 6 action in Unionville. The Bulldogs will face Milan in a re-match of their thirdplace game in the opening round tonight (Tuesday) at 7 o’clock.

Trenton grabbed one other fumble recovery in the game as well.

“They did a great job,” Hixson said. “You know, last week was just circumstantial. We had some issues, we had some stuff going on, so our mind wasn’t right, wasn’t where it needed to be. They proved that tonight. They came out and played hard against a really physical Maysville team. They have some young kids, but they are physical.”

Novak led Trenton with 161 yards and his two touchdowns on just nine carries. Gibson followed, rushing for 107 yards on 20 carries. Elbert added 89 yards on eight attempts and 27 yards from Griffin’s four carries gave Trenton 384 yards on the ground in the win. The 90 yards through the air pushed Trenton over 400 yards of total offense for just the second time this season.

The win pushed Trenton to 4-3 overall and kept Trenton tied for first place in the GRC with a 4-1 league mark. Polo, which defeated Princeton, and Gallatin, who topped Putnam County, also stayed at 4-2 in league play. After Milan defeated South Harrison this week, both of those schools moved to 3-2 in the GRC, one game back of the three leaders.

Trenton and Gallatin will face off this week in a game that will almost certainly guarantee at least a share of the Grand River Conference title to the winner. That game will kick off from Gallatin at 7 p.m. Friday night. It will be a Pink Out game for the schools.

Sugar Consumption Is Topic The Go and Learn FCE Club met for lunch and a business meeting at Washington Street Food and Drink on Friday, Oct. 1.

Lana Snider presided over the business meeting, with members repeating the pledge to the U.S. flag and the club collect.

Betty Rumbley led a game won by Mrs. Snider.

Roll class was answered with “your favorite fall pie.” Children’s books were brought for the Children’s Advocacy Center.

A program was presented on “Why We Love Sugar” and included infor-

mation that few people are consuming sugar in the recommended moderate amounts and most people eat much more. Worldwide, people are consuming about 500 extra calories per day from sugar, an amount that would be about what is needed to gain a pound a week.

The next meeting of the club is scheduled for 11 a.m. Friday, Nov. 5 at Wild Onion.

The Scrappy Quilters met on Oct. 5 at the First Baptist Church in Trenton.

There were 11 members present and one guest, Kathy Stevenson, present.

Prior to the business meeting the program for the evening was a film documentary on the quilt collection of Ken Burns. Ken is a filmmaker who does documentary films for PBS television and is a collector of antique quilts. Thirtyfive of his quilts were on display at the International Quilt Museum in Lincoln, NE. The museum has one of the largest collections of antique quilts in the country and it was the first time Ken had allowed any of his quilts to be on display.

President Donna Wilson conducted the business meeting.

Updates were given on the Missouri Days Quilt Show which will be held October 15-17 at the Dorris Rider Art Gallery on the campus of North Central Missouri College. Final touches were made for the event. Three charity quilts that have been made by guild members were also selected to be on display during the event.

The 2022 officers will be Donna Wilson, president; Dawn Stout, vice president; Vickie Pash, secretary; and Cyndi Johnson, treasurer. Other committees will be: Shop Hop organizer,Dawn Stout; retreat organizers, Vickie Pash and Bonnie Bannion; program planners, Donna Wilson, Linda Mullins, Cyndi Johnson and Bonnie Bannion; and key keepers, Chris Newton and Linda Mullins.

Share and Tell participants were Chris Newton, Donna Wilson, Delores Kuttler and Dawn Stout.

It was announced that Cyndi Johnson has a quilt that is going to be on display at the International Quilt Show in Houston Oct. 27-31. This show is a juried show with quilts from all over the world entered. With the show not taking place in 2020, the number of submitted quilts was larger than usual so being selected for this show was an honor.

The next meeting will be on Nov. 2 at the First Baptist Church in Trenton. The program will be presented at 5:30 pm with the meeting to follow at 6:30 pm.

CHURCH ACTIVITIES

Angels Topic Of Ward Circle The Ward Circle of the First Christian Church met Tuesday, Oct. 5 in the Seekers classroom. There were six members and one guest, Beverly Wimer, in attendance.

President Talma Joiner opened the meeting with all repeating the CWF Prayer. Minutes from the previous meeting were read and corrected.

Treasurer Betty Wimer gave the financial report for the circle and for the General CWF detailing current balances. Service chairman Barbara Crow reported that no requests had been made for food from the circle. Janice Stimpson, courtesy chairman, announced no cards were sent but reports on illness of church members were discussed. Tom Eads and Greg Dalrymple are doing well at this time and Barb Hawkins has started her treatment for cancer.

October 17 and 24 will be collection dates for Tools of Hope. Mrs. Joiner and Mrs. Wimer will collect donations before and after church on those dates.

Mrs. Wimer will host the November meeting and Mrs. Joiner will lead the devotion. Martha Maloney will host the December meeting in her home.

Barbara Crow led the devotion using Billy Graham’s book “Angels” as a source. The Bible lists over 300 references to God’s angels. They are God’s ministering servants who do the will of God in the lives of His people.

Examples in real life of the intervention of angels are plentiful and the angels are assigned to complete special tasks. Many people have had unique experiences in their lives that in hindsight they realize it was God’s hand through His angels.

The meeting closed with prayer and the CWF Benediction. A social hour followed with Mrs. Crow serving refreshments.

Pester At MCCA Event

DEATHS

Megan Pester, Director of Marketing and Admissions at North Central Missouri College, recently participated and graduated from the Missouri Community College Association (MCCA) Leadership Academy.

During her involvement in the academy, Megan attended sessions on leadership aspects, presentations from community college administration, legislators, and industry leaders on various components of leadership growth.

“I was selected to represent North Central Missouri College at the Missouri Community College Association Leadership Academy and it was truly an outstanding experience,” she said. “Not only did I learn a lot from the various presenters and my colleagues across the state, but I was exposed to topics and conversations that I have yet to experience in my 14 years in higher education. I left the academy more energized and motivated about leadership in higher education and in my career than I have ever been, and I cannot wait to apply the experiences and the knowledge gained to the admissions and marketing thought processes we currently have in place. I am sincerely thankful to Dr. Klaver for offering this opportunity to me, as it was by far the most valuable professional development experience I’ve had since beginning my career in higher education. I hope MCCA continues to educate leaders in our field through the Leadership Academy for years to come.”

Dr. Lenny Klaver, President of NCMC also presented during the Academy on Organizational History and Structure of the Community College alongside MCC President Dr. Kimberly Beatty and Commis-

prepare monthly bank reconciliations noting any outstanding checks or deposits that haven’t cleared the bank. In addition, it was recommended that the prosecuting attorney perform a documented review of the monthly statements and reconciliation and that the office ensure that turnovers are made monthly in order to be in compliance with state statute.

Ms. Gibson indicated that the office would be converting to the Karpel system in an effort to alleviate the problem and the auditors said Ms. Gibson should evaluate whether the Karpel system is adequate to serve as an accounting system so that receipts, disbursements and balances on hand can be adequately tracked and reconciled to bank statements.

The audit report also states that prior to Aug. 28, 2020, Section 50.660, RSMo, required all contracts and purchases greater than $6,000 be awarded to the lowest and best bidder

after a competitive solicitation process. In October 2019, the Daviess County Commission adopted a procurement policy modeled after Section 34.040, RSMo, which governs the executive branch and establishes a $10,000 threshold for soliciting competitive bids. Daviess County did not solicit bids for certain contracts and services costing between $6,000 and $10,000, which were subject to Missouri statutory rules governing contracts for counties, townships and political subdivisions, not the executive branch. However, auditors noted the threshold for soliciting bids required under Section 50.660, RSMo, was revised to $12,000, effective Aug. 28, 2021. The auditors recommend the county commission review any future revisions to the procurement policy for compliance with statutory rules governing contracts for counties, townships, and political subdivisions as prescribed in RSMo Chapter 50.

In addition, the commission was informed it should

review the FEMA reporting requirements and prepare and document a reconciliation between amounts reported on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and underlying accounting records as part of its budgeting process. This recommendation stem-med from the auditors finding that the 2020 SEFA reported an advance of FEMA funds based on estimated construction costs that had not yet been incurred as an expenditure.

Federal Uniform Guidance states, “Non-federal entities must record expenditures on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) when (1) FEMA has approved the non-federal entity’s PW, and (2) the non-federal entity has incurred the eligible expenditures.”

In total, federal award expenditures were overstated by $87,985 in 2020.

Band Days Is Rotary Topic Phil Ray presented the program at the Thursday, Oct. 7 meeting of the Trenton Rotary Club. He was introduced by program chairman John Anthony. Brian Upton presided at the meeting, Jackie Soptic gave the prayer and Michael Ormsby was the sergeant at arms.

Ray presented information regarding the Missouri Day Marching Band Festival, which will be held on Oct. 16 in conjunction with the Missouri Day Festival. There are 29 bands entered in this year’s festival, with 23 participating in the parade on Saturday morning. Bands will also be competing in field show, drum line and auxiliary competition.

The band coming from the farthest away is Pleasant Hope, which is in southwest Missouri near Bolivar. One third of the bands are listed as 1A schools (small schools), while one-third are in the 2A classification. The remaining bands are in classes 3A to 5A. Because of the number of band festivals being held, including the nine that are also taking place on the 16th, Ray said bands are recruited throughout the year to participate. There are nine individuals serving as judges for this year’s marching festival, three of whom are from Missouri while the remainder will be coming in from out of state. They include high school and college/university band instructors as well as retired instructors. The parade will start at 8:30 a.m., with the field show competition being held at CF Russell Stadium. Auxiliary and drumline competition will be held at the high school. A schedule of the marching festival events is on the website, www.missouridaymarching.com, and is accessible to the public.

During the business meeting, an update was given regarding preparations for the Missouri Day Festival Parade, which is organized by the club. Other updates were given on the club meeting sign project and the Rotary shelterhouse project. Joe MacDonald was recognized as a Paul Harris Fellow and was presented with a certificate and pin

by President Brian Upton. MacDonald’s designation was sponsored by Phil Hoffman.

The board also met following the meeting and voted to make a donation to the Dream Factory as well as pay for metal to be used to make repairs to the Rotary shelterhouse at Moberly Park. Club members will also install the metal as a service project.

The club will meet at noon on Thursday, Oct. 15 at the BTC Bank community room.

Halloween candy boo-nanza If candy sales are any indication, it’s shaping up to be a blockbuster Halloween.

U.S. Halloween candy sales were up 42% in the month ending Sept. 5 compared to the same period a year ago, according to the National Confectioners Association. The trade group’s surveys indicate 80% of Americans plan to participate in trick-or-treating this year, up from 58% in 2020.

Hershey Co. expects 54% of consumers to buy more Halloween candy than they did last year.

Tim LeBel, Mars Wrigley’s chief Halloween officer and president of sales, said the

company pulled its biggest variety pack off the market last year because customers anticipated fewer trick-or-treaters. This year, the 455-piece bag is back.

Still, 2020 wasn’t a total loss. Online Halloween candy sales skyrocketed 76% last year as consumers adopted new ways of shopping. Online sales continue to be strong this year, the association said.

That’s prompting some changes in how candy is sold.

LeBel said Mars Wrigley recently partnered with Shipt to deliver candy directly to consumers.
