Bright Futures Trenton held its annual recognition meeting Friday afternoon, with Adriane Todd and Jackie Hoffman, left, honored as “Champions of the Year.” Wesley United Methodist Church, represented by Dr. John Holcomb, was named the “Partner of the Year.” Pictured with Dr. Holcomb is Christy Tolson, a member of the Bright Futures advisory board.

Bright Futures Holds Celebration Wesley United, Hoffman And Todd Honored By Organization Bright Futures Trenton celebrated its volunteers and programs during the annual volunteer recognition luncheon held Friday, Oct. 22 in the Sugg Room of the Ketcham Community Center.

The Wesley United Methodist Church was recognized as the 2021 Partner of the Year while Jackie Hoffman and Adriane Todd were honored as the 2021 Champions of the Year.

Kristi Harris and Christy Tolson, members of the Bright Futures Trenton Advisory Board, made the award presentations and gave a brief summary of each honorees’ contributions to the program.

The Wesley UMC provides space to house various Bright Futures items and has hosted programs for youth at Rissler Elementary School. The UMC women’s group also washed

the gym shoes collected by the Boy Scouts that are given out during the fall Back to School program. According to the nomination, the group always responds when they learn of a need.

“Wesley United Methodist has been one of our dependable faithbased partners since our beginnings.

They re-sponded to our request to provide nutritious snacks to Rissler Elementary third and fourth grade students during MAP testing in our first year,” read the nomination. “The congregation has faithfully provided supplies, backpacks and hygiene items for our Back to School event every year and many of their members volunteer to help during the event.”

When a new program to reward the Terrific Kid award winners was insti-

tuted, the church enthusiastically got involved.

“In 2019 the Rissler counselors coordinated field trips each month for the Terrific Kids award winners, seeking community organizations to provide a service opportunity for these students. The women at Wesley United Methodist enthusiastically provided a great experience teaching students about their community ministries and allowing those students to participate in their various sewing projects. You will find members of the congregation serving on the Bright Futures Trenton Advisory Board, site councils and volunteering in many other ways.”

Library Still Relevant At 130 Years Old Trenton Mainstay Was Dedicated Back In 1891 When Jewett Norris provided the initial funds to establish a free public library in Grundy County it’s doubtful he could have imagined that 130 years later one could research his name on a database on the library’s website. But thanks to his generosity and that of other area residents over the years, the Grundy County-Jewett Norris Library remains as relevant today as it was when it was dedicated in 1891.

The library is celebrating its 130th birthday this month and there’s a lot to celebrate. While the exterior of the building looks much the same as it did at its dedication ceremony on Oct. 13, 1891, the interior contains the technology necessary to reach library

users in 2021.

Early efforts to construct a library in Grundy County failed, but in 1890, Jewett Norris offered the Trenton school district $50,000 ($15,000 of which would be reserved for maintenance) for a trust fund to construct and equip a library that was to be “free to the people of Trenton and Grundy County forever.”

Norris, described in newspaper accounts as an early pioneer resident of the community, had moved away from Grundy County 20 years before making the offer. The Trenton Weekly Republican said the gift was “the greatest bequest to education ever made in the state of Missouri.”

“Norris gave the money for the library because he figured he had earned that amount in Grundy County and, by wise investment of this capital, was able to enlarge the amount,” read a Trenton Republican-Times story written in observance of the library’s 50th anniversary. “He felt he should return the original amount to the county in some substantial, lasting manner.”

Construction began in May 1890 and by dedication day, Mr. Norris had been dead for about five months. His grandson made the trip to Trenton to read a speech Mr. Norris had prepared for the occasion.

No one in Grundy

County remembers the day the library was dedicated (if someone does, please contact the RepublicanTimes so we can interview YOU!) but many remember the day in Oct. 1992 when the community came together to celebrate the renovation of the building, spurred by a donation from Rose Hoover. She initially donated $25,000 to help with the cost of a new slate roof, but went on to match up to $75,000 in donations and grants received for the project, which included window replacement, a heating system, elevator and the renovation of what is now the Hoover Community Theater. In all, more than $800,000 was raised for the project.

Since that time, the library, which was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in Sept.

1984, has seen a different kind of transformation - a digital one. For instance, patrons can go on the library website to conduct research and books can be downloaded to tablets and computers. A bank of computers are available for public use.

These are ways Mr. Norris could not have fathomed his generosity would be used, but the vision of today’s modern GC-JN Library, which is “to become a hub for learning while also enriching lives, building community and foster-

When storms hit north Missouri on Sunday, there was some confusion as to why the warning sirens were not activated in Trenton and Grundy County Emergency Management Director Glen Briggs has provided an answer to that question.

“Yesterday’s storm threat as identified by the National Weather Service was in extreme northwest Grundy County, north of Brimson and toward the west of Spickard,” he said. “There was zero tornado risk for Trenton.”

Briggs said that some people in the Trenton area may have received a wireless emergency alert telling them to seek shelter. The cell phone carriers delivered the message to anyone within range of the tower, regardless of if they were in the tornado warning area or not.

“The bottom line to remember is tornadoes are small and counties are big,” he said. “We remain diligent during severe weather and we would have sounded the sirens had there been a tornado risk for the city of Trenton.”

NCMC Board Agenda

The North Central Missouri College Board of Trustees will meet in regular session at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Frey Administrative Center.

Items on the announced agenda include employee introductions, student senate, reports from admissions/marketing, TRiO, vice president for academic affairs, vice president of student affairs, chief information officer and the president, Head Start salary adjustments, consideration of bids and purchases, consideration of surplus property, the first reading of a policy recommendation, special meeting requests/meeting changes, personnel matters including resignations, employments and job descriptions.

The agenda also lists an executive session to discuss personnel, legal matters and real estate.

Band Successful At Macon

The Trenton Golden Bulldog Marching Band had a successful outing at the Macon Marching Festival over the weekend.

The band, under the direction of Anthony Webb, placed second in parade, with an Outstanding Color Guard Caption Award for parade as well. The group earned second place in indoor color guard, second place in indoor drum line and second place in field show. The festival marked the end of the 2021 marching season, which featured drum majors Trager Leeper and Maurissa Bonta. The band will now turn its attention to concert music, with the Trenton Middle School and Trenton High School winter band concerts scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 21.

Softball Game, Dance Saturday

Two events to benefit special needs residents in Grundy County have been scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 30 in Trenton.

The Trenton Heroes/The Gifted Group vs. Celebrities softball game will be held at 2 p.m. at the Ebbe Sports Complex, with the Special Needs Halloween Dance scheduled for that evening from 7 to 9 p.m. at Trenton High School.

Alumni Planning Under Way

ing success,” fits well with what Mr. Norris hoped the library would be for Grundy County residents, as he wrote in his dedication address.

“It should, and I trust it will, be the resort of all lovers of learning,” his grandson read. “And of all literary and scientific societies and philanthropic individuals and charitable associations who hope to make the world better by discouraging idle habits and encouraging the employment of all leisure hours in the acquisition of useful knowledge.”

Today’s modern library provides unlimited ways to acquire useful knowledge and would certainly have made Mr. Norris proud of the legacy he left at the corner of Main Street and Crowder Road.

In honor of the library’s 130th birthday, library staff and Friends of the Library are celebrating with refreshments each day this week beginning at 11 a.m.

Planning for the 2022 Trenton High School Alumni Week-end is already under way and, in an effort, to provide information to alums much earlier, the annual All Class Planning Meeting has been scheduled. Class representatives are invited to attend the annual meeting on Saturday, November 6th at the BTC Bank Meeting Room in Trenton. The hour-long meeting will begin at 1:00 pm.

Classes requesting mailing lists are asked to contact John Holcomb in advance at 660-359-1838 or emailing him at johnlholcomb@gmail.com. Lists will then be available to be picked up at the meeting on November 6th. Persons are asked to park on the north side of the building for entering the meeting room.

Classes unable to attend the planning meeting are asked to contact Kevin Bailey, Steve Maxey, or John Holcomb to indicate tentative plans for their respective 2022 reunion.

Association officers plan to coordinate the initial mailing in February 2022, allowing for an earlier notification of reunion plans than in the past. Postponement of several reunions over the past year due to COVID will likely make the 2022 reunion a bigger one.

Nursing Home Board Meets

The Grundy County Nursing Home District Board of Directors met Tuesday, Oct. 19. The board heard two presentations for a new phone system at the meeting, one from Marco and another from Green Hills. After hearing both proposals, the board voted to accept the proposal from Green Hills.

Administrator Jerry Doerhoff told board members that residents enjoyed a variety of activities during the month, including the monthly birthday party, chocolate shakes, porch time and the resident council meeting. A resident food tasting program was also started with the first month’s featured dish being breakfast sausage. Work on the energy project continues.

A closed session was held to approve minutes from the September closed session. The next regular meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 16 at 2 p.m.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL — WEEK 9 SOUTH HARRISON BULLDOGS 25, TRENTON BULLDOGS 24 — OVERTIME

STRETCHED TOO THIN Third Quarter Lull Ultimately Costs Trenton District Bye Kevin Hixson went for a walk.

There was a lot to unpack in the immediate aftermath of the Trenton Bulldogs’ 25-24 overtime loss to South Harrison on Friday night in Bethany. So Trenton’s head coach ventured to the far southwest corner of Memorial Stadium. placed his hands atop the fence surrounding the facility and took a moment.

“In games like this we’ve just got to step up and make the plays that it takes,” Hixson said. “To play at a competition level where you are thinking about getting into the playoffs and playing for conference championships you have to make those plays.”

The biggest takeaway was the loss of Tucker Otto, who broke his leg on a punt return in the second quarter. His absence was glaring in the third quarter and in overtime as South Harrison hit Trenton’s secondary for three touchdown passes. Otto, who is in his first season playing football, has been a pleasant surprise for the Trenton coaching staff, particularly for what he brings to Trenton’s pass defense.

Whether or not Otto could have helped stop any one of those three scores will never be known, but the painful truth is even if he had altered one of those scores, Trenton probably would have wound up on the winning end Friday night and probably would be sitting at home this week with a first round district bye.

“We’ve got to get better in the secondary,” Hixson said. “As a team next year that’s going to be one of my main emphases.

“It just seems like there is always something and we’re playing behind the eight ball, emotionally. We come out here and Tucker breaks his leg — there is just always something and some type of adversity we

are trying to fight through. Our kids do a pretty good job of it, but I’m disappointed tonight. I wanted this for them and then when Tucker got hurt I wanted this win for him. This was a real winnable game.”

The loss kept Trenton from jumping Palmyra and dropped them below Macon. Sitting at the fourth spot in the district standings, Trenton was still on track to host a first round game in the sixteam district, but Brookfield sat in fifth. By virtue of their week 1 overtime win over Trenton, the Blue and White Bulldogs jumped the Black and Gold Bulldogs.

Trenton will now travel to where its season began for the district opener in Brookfield.

The Bulldogs led much of the way against South Harrison, striking first with quarterback Coleman Griffin stretching the ball over the goal line in the first

quarter. Trenton would show the way until the middle of the third quarter when a lull that ultimately cost the Bulldogs, struck.

South Harrison scored twice on pass plays of 30 and 76 yards.

Trenton, meanwhile, marched inside the South Harrison 30-yard line after each score but came away with no points.

Trailing 18-10, Trenton’s defense came up big, however, forcing a turnover on downs with South Harrison 20 yards away from making the game a twoscore contest. The offense drove into South Harrison territory, only to turn the ball over on downs with 3:09 left on the clock.

Again, the defense came to the rescue. South Harrison was forced to punt with 1:21 left in the game. Trevor Murphy, who was close to blocking a punt earlier in the game, got this one. He blocked the kick and recovered

the ball at the South Harrison 19yard line with 1:11 left.

A team that was beat suddenly had life.

“Murph plays with heart,” Hixson said. “He’s a gentle giant and a great kid. We will miss him next year.”

With 33 seconds left, Griffin found Gabe Novak in the back corner of the end zone for six.

Sam Gibson ran in the 2-point conversion and the game was tied.

“We worked that [pass play] all week in practice,” Hixson said.

“Honestly, we’ve worked that for a couple weeks. We’ve been working a couple of those just for that occasion. This situation where we’ve got to have something big and it is late game and it paid off for us. Normally Tucker is our guy for that and Gabe just came through.”

Trenton’s first adventure into

overtime this season was anti-climactic. Against Brookfield in week 1, Trenton failed to score then gave up a quick touchdown to seal its fate. This would not be the case in week 9. The Bulldogs moved down the field, punching the ball in the end zone on a 3yard run by Gibson.

With the ease Gibson scored on the game-tying 2-point conversion and went into the end zone again in overtime, Trenton went for 2, despite the fact Gibson had booted one point-after kick and drilled home a 29-yard field goal in the first half. The momentum was with them, but South Harrison got the stop, dragging down Gibson a yard and a half shy.

Trenton’s defense was able to force a third down-and-two situation, but South Harrison converted and a play later, burnt Trenton with a halfback pass for a touchdown for the second time on the night. The score tied the game and the host Bulldogs trotted out their kicker, who was 0-for-2 on point-after kicks to that point in the game. Again the third round belonged to South Harrison and the successful kick ended the game.

South Harrison celebrated raucously. Trenton sat in stunned silence.

Gibson was held below 100 yards for just the second time this season, rushing for 82 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries.

Novak finished with 52 yards on 12 carries and caught two passes for 75 yards and a touchdown.

Ian Elbert added 51 yards rushing on eight carries.

With the loss, Trenton wrapped up the regular season with a 4-5 overall record and finished at 4-3 in Grand River Conference play.

The Bulldogs’ second trip to Brookfield is slated for a 7 p.m. kickoff on Friday as district play begins. The winner of the game will travel to Maryville to take on the top-seeded Spoofhounds the following week.

GALLATIN BULLDOGS 48, PRINCETON TIGERS 8

Gallatin Sews Up Title Bulldogs Take Care Of Business In Princeton At the onset of the 2021 season, the Gallatin Bulldogs were dealt a bit of adversity when starting quarterback Brinley Vandiver moved out of district ahead of his senior season.

Suddenly, the most important position on the field went from one of the biggest strongholds for the Bulldogs to the biggest question mark.

Despite moving down the pecking order to a sophomore quarterback, the coaches of the Grand River Conference still selected the Bulldogs as the frontrunner to win the league title.

There would be more adversity to come for Gallatin with injuries down the road, but after a 48-8 victory on the road in Princeton on Friday, Gallatin secured the outright Grand River Conference cham-

pionship with a 6-1 league mark. South Harrison and Milan were a game back at 5-2, Trenton and Polo finished 4-3.

“Being picked to win the conference in the preseason poll adds a little bit of pressure to the mix,” Gallatin head coach Patrick Treece said. “The conference was unpredictable and competitive week in and week out.

I am proud of the way our team took conference play one week at a time especially after starting 1-1 and battling some injuries along the way. The GRC Conference Title was one of our goals for the year and it feels great to check that one off the list. I can’t say enough good things about this group of players and coaching staff that I have the pleasure of working with every day.”

No one expected Gallatin to stumble in it’s final game of the season against Princeton, which has scuffled through a winless season, leaning heavily on freshmen and sophomores

at nearly every position, but Gallatin left little to the imagination, taking complete control early. Draven Wright scored on a touchdown run less than two minutes into the game and quarterback Peyton Baker found Payton Feiden on a pair of first quarter touchdown throws as the Bulldogs jumped out to a 21-0 lead one frame into the contest.

Gallatin would score three more times in the second quarter, pushing the lead to 41-0 by halftime.

Jagger Gray had a 66yard touchdown run at the onset of the second quarter and Isaac Bird hauled in Baker’s third touchdown pass of the night. Wright added a defensive touchdown with his second picksix in as many weeks, taking a Princeton pass back 30 yards to the house.

Gray’s second rushing touchdown came in the third quarter and capped the scoring for Gallatin, which began to work in its junior varsity players from

that point on. Princeton scored once in the game on an 18-yard run by Tyler Coffman in the fourth quarter. Andrew Rhoades ran in the 2-point conversion after the score.

Gray led Gallatin with 158 yards and two scores on 11 carries. Wright had 63 yards on nine attempts.

Baker completed 7-of-14

passes for 140 yards and three touchdowns, but also fired a pair of interceptions.

Feiden caught three passes for 71 yards and three touchdowns while Bird hauled in three passes as well, collecting 65 yards and a score.

Princeton was paced by 35 rushing yards on 12 carries from Coffman.

Gallatin now turns its attention to Class 1, District 7 play where the secondseeded Bulldogs will host Putnam County on Friday at Bulldog Stadium.

Princeton will be just down the road as the eight seed taking on top-seeded Hamilton at Alumni Field. Both games kick off at 7 p.m.

Trenton Into Title Game Trenton Gets Past South Harrison In District Semifinals TRENTON 3 SOUTH HARRISON 1 For the second time in as many years, and the second time in program history, the Trenton High School volleyball team will play for a district championship.

On Saturday in St. Joseph, Trenton defeated South Harrison in Class 2, District 16 semifinal action, 28-30, 25-13, 25-22, 26-24.

South Harrison was flirt-

ing with an upset after coming out on top in a wild first set, 30-28. Trenton couldn’t have responded any better, however, rolling over the Purple and White Bulldogs 25-13 in the second set. Trenton would take care of business the rest of the way, despite a close call in the final set to reach the district championship game.

Ava Simpson tallied 26 assists, tying the school record she set earlier in the season. She also had two aces and two kills.

Ally Yoder collected 13 kills and two aces and Juliet Schmadeke finished with 12 digs, five kills and

two aces.

Trenton had a tall test in top-seeded LeBlond in Monday’s district championship game.

The Golden Eagles defeated Trenton 25-2, 25-6, 25-8 back on Oct. 12.

“It was great to get a district win,” Trenton head coach Brad Ewald said.

“The goal all year has been to win a district championship. Now that we got ourselves to the championship, we are going to need to sharpen up a little and play with some heart to beat LeBlond. However, that’s the stage we want to play on, and hopefully we’ll make it a fun night of volleyball.”

Semi Strikes Car In Accident A four-year-old child sustained moderate injuries in an accident involving a passenger car and a tractortrailer rig on U.S. Highway 65 Friday afternoon.

According to Missouri State Highway Patrol Trooper A.D. Neighbors’ accident report, the accident occurred just before 4:30 p.m. when a 2001 Peterbilt semi, driven by Paul England of Marshall, was northbound on Highway 65 near the intersection with Route C. A 2008 passenger car driven by Samantha Lynch of Trenton was attempting to make a left turn from Highway 65 onto Route C when the semi attempted to pass an unknown vehicle and struck Ms. Lynch’s car in the rear driver’s side. The car began to spin and travel off the west side of the roadway, striking a street sign. It

came to rest on its wheels, facing southwest, while the semi came to a controlled stop on the west shoulder of Highway 65, facing north.

A four-year-old child in Ms. Lynch’s vehicle sustained injuries that were listed as moderate and was transported to Wright Memorial Hospital by private vehicle. The child and Ms. Lynch were both wearing safety devices as was England. Ms. Lynch’s vehicle was totaled and had to be towed from the scene, with the semi sustaining only minor damage and being driven from the location.

Trooper Neighbors was assisted by Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Officer J.E. Lawrence and the Grundy County Sheriff’s Department.

Sex Offender Compliance To Be Checked The Trenton Police Department advises that they will be conducting compliance checks for registered sexual offenders in regards to Halloween restrictions defined by City Ordinance 215.1550 and State Statute 589.426.

candy or treats at this residence"; and • leave all outside residential lighting off during the evening hours after 5 p.m.

These compliance checks will be conducted randomly in an effort to ensure these sexual offenders are following the law on Halloween.

Sunday Storms Pound North Missouri ST. MARY, Mo. (AP) — A suspected tornado damaged buildings and knocked out power in communities along the state line between Missouri and Illinois, and damage was reported in other parts of the states from severe weather.

One suspected tornado moved Sunday night through St. Mary, Missouri, about 55 miles (88 kilometers) southeast of St. Louis, before crossing the Mississippi River into Chester, Illinois, the National Weather Service reported. There were no immediate reports of severe injuries.

A large fall storm system developed Sunday over the central part of the country and strengthened as it passed over the St. Louis region, weather service meteorologist Jared Maples, based in St. Charles, Missouri, told The Associated Press on Monday. The storms dropped heavy rain, leading to some flooding around tributaries and in low-lying areas, and spawned several suspected

tornadoes in eastern Missouri and southwestern Illinois.

“There’s structures around the Farmington and Fredericktown area of Missouri that have been hit," Maples said. "Chester, Illinois, is another area that was hit hard.”

The weather service is sending out survey teams to confirm whether those areas were hit by tornadoes, he said.

It was likely a tornado that swept across the north side of Chester, a city of about 8,700 across the Mississippi River from St. Mary, toppling trees and power lines and causing damage to homes, according to Larry Willis, a spokesman for the Randolph County Emergency Management Agency. Willis said he had preliminary reports of a tree falling onto one home and of roof damage to a nursing home.

Willis said the nearby village of Bremen “took a direct hit” before the storm dissipated about a mile (1.6 kilometers) east of that community. In its wake, a

Storms struck north Missouri Sunday afternoon and evening. The Livingston County Sheriff’s Department had a call that people were trapped in this house north of Wheeling. Everyone got out safely but power lines and broken gas and propane lines were a problem in the area.

large storage building in Bremen was destroyed, and Illinois Route 150 was closed due to downed power lines and power poles.

“When I was coming down here today, you could see the tops of trees twisted off between Chester and Bremen, so there’s a definite path,” he said.

Felix Meyer, Ste. Genevieve County emergency management director, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that St. Mary, which has several hundred residents, was without power. Power outages were reported in some other Missouri communities, as well as in parts of Illinois.

Tina Lowry was in bed and her sister was in the living room when they heard a whooshing sound Sunday night. Lowry said she took shelter in her

closet and her sister hunkered down in the bedroom as the home was ripped apart. Vehicles also were destroyed by the storm.

“I’m just happy we’re alive,” she said.

In Fredericktown, a storage building was leveled, the Post-Dispatch reported, and other buildings lost roofs and had their windows cracked. The weather service confirmed Monday that a tornado with at least an EF2 rating caused damage in the Fredericktown area. A tornado with that rating is considered strong and wind speeds range from 111-135 mph (179217 kph).

Earlier Sunday, video from a KMBC-TV helicopter captured a funnel cloud forming near Kansas City around the Missouri community of Kingston. There appeared to be some dam-

age on the ground, the station reported.

The severe weather in the Midwest came as a powerful storm barreled toward Southern California after flooding highways, toppling trees and causing mud flows in areas burned bare by recent fires across the northern part of the state. Drenching showers and strong winds accompanied the storm.

The system that hit the Midwest continued east into the Ohio Valley on Monday, said weather service meteorologist Alex Elmore, who is based in St. Charles.

“It has weakened as it moves east,” Elmore said.

“There is a chance of severe weather later Monday in the Carolinas and portions of Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee.”

Forecasters are expect-

ing more stormy weather later in the week. On Tuesday afternoon, parts of Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas could see severe storms, according to the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma. Forecasters said those storms could bring large hail, strong winds and isolated tornadoes.

Area FCCLA Chapters At Region Event Trenton, Gallatin Chapters Participate Students from the Trenton and Gallatin FCCLA chapters attended the 2021 Family, Career and Community Leaders of America Region 2 Meeting, Oct. 20 at the Fredrick Boulevard Baptist Church in St. Joseph.

Over 361 members from schools in the area were in attendance at the meeting, which centered around the Region 2 theme, “Around the World with FCCLA,” as members were motivated during the conference to go back to their schools and be strong leaders in their families and communities.

Nationally known keynote speaker Bill Cordes spoke to members about the importance of creating a better school culture through positive personal and peer interaction. He provided members with tools on how to bring positivity back to their schools.

He also shared why he is

known as the “YOGOWYPI” guy, which stands for “you only get out what you put in.”

The Gallatin FCCLA chapter had 51 members in attendance, with three students playing important roles in the meeting, including Peyton Johnson Region 2 FCCLA President; Santanna Youngs Region 2 FCCLA 1st Vice President; and Kyrsten Collins, Region 2 FCCLA 2nd Vice President and Secretary.

Also recognized during the meeting was Gallatin FCCLA Adviser Becky Adkison, who was awarded the Missouri Region 2 Excellence in Advising award.

“I really enjoyed the speaker”, said Ms. Collins.

“He got everyone involved, which made the meeting special. I feel the most important point he made in his speech is that no one is alone.”

Dear Annie: I read your column every day, and I read with great interest the letter from the wife whose husband had an affair 20 years earlier. She was bitter that none of her friends told her about it.

I found myself in a similar situation, only I was the friend, and I DID tell her that her husband was cheating on her. This was 35 years ago.

Remember the old expression about killing the messenger? That's what happened to me. I had struggled with what to do with this information for several days. I knew she'd be devastated, but I believed she deserved the truth. She was my best friend, and I felt I'd be lying to her face every time I saw her if I didn't tell her.

I practiced for days trying to come up with the most supportive way of talking to her. I went and saw her, and we talked for about an hour, and it was very, very difficult. I left knowing that she had a lot to process and sort out, and

Bottlenecks persist

The bottlenecks at ports and other points in the supply chain are causing persistent headaches for American manufacturers.

Last month, industrial production, which covers output at factories, mines and utilities, fell 1.3%.

That was the sharpest such drop since a 3% plunge in February, when a winter storm shut down much of Texas.

The lingering disruptions from Hurricane Ida slowed mining, which includes oil and gas production. At the same time, the supply chain problems depressed the manufacturing sector, whose output sank 0.7% in September.

I gave her some space.

After a few days, I called but could not reach her. I left messages, but I never heard back from her.

Fifteen years later, I got a rather incoherent and angry letter from her, blaming me -- for what, specifically, wasn't clear.

The wife who wrote to you complaining that no one told her might have reacted differently 20 years ago if someone had let her know. If I had had a crystal ball and known our friendship would be over if I told her, would I still have told my friend at the time? I think so. I still believe hiding it from her would have been worse, a betrayal. -Killed Messenger in Pennsylvania Dear Killed Messenger: Thank you for your letter. I suppose it was easier to get mad at you than her husband who had betrayed her.

Just know that her meanness came out of pain and that hurt people hurt people.

lationship with talks of marriage but no engagement yet. He was married before, while I have never been married.

My boyfriend is 47, and I'm 41. I have given him six years of my life. He knows by now if he wants to spend the rest of his life with me.

We don't sleep in the same bed because he snores and I'm a light sleeper. He likes to drink beer daily, while I'm a social drinker.

We have lots of fun together, but I feel like I deserve an engagement ring and marriage. I love him, and he loves me, but I'm discouraged. -- Stuck in a Rut Dear Stuck: When a car is stuck in the mud, drivers are told to move it gently forward and back, rocking the vehicle until momentum frees it. You'll be stuck in your rut forever if you don't start rocking a little.

Set aside time to have a quiet moment with your boyfriend and tell him how important it is to you to get married. If it is something that he doesn't want to do, then you might be better off finding someone else.

output has slowed because of problems at ports and other distribution points.

Industrial and

semiconductors hobbling auto operations, output of motor vehicles and parts plunged 7.2%. It was the third decline in manufacturing production in the past four months. Many economists say they fear that the supply chain problems could extend into 2022, depressing output and further elevating inflation.

Beth Ann Bovino, chief U.S. economist at Standard & Poor’s, said she had cut her forecast for economic growth in 2021 by a full percentage point, mainly because of the supply disruptions. But her forecast, at 5.7%, would still amount to the fastest calendar-year growth since 1984.

AREA Art’s Alive Is Topic At Oct. 21 Rotary Meeting

R-T Photos/Seth Herrold

The Trenton High School and middle school choirs presented their fall concert, You And I: Songs Of Human Connection, from the Trenton Performing Arts Center on Thursday night. Above, members of the middle school choir sing “If I Didn’t Have You.” At left, Trenton High School concert choir soloists perform during the group’s rendition of “‘Til The Walls Come Down.” The evening featured 13 songs from the middle school choir, THS concert choir and Gold Rush combined. The concert was under the direction of Tyler Busick with Laurie Bonta accompanying on the piano.

Art’s Alive was the topic of a program presented to members of the Trenton Rotary Club on Thursday, Oct. 21 at the BTC Bank community room. Brian Upton presided at the meeting and served as sergeant at arms. Pastor Joe MacDonald gave the prayer.

Dan Maxey and Ann Plumb, members of the Art’s Alive board, told about the organization and its efforts to bring fine arts opportunities to Grundy County and the surrounding community. Maxey said the group was organized in 2019 after the disbanding of the Friends of the Arts, but was slowed in its efforts in 2020 due to

the COVID pandemic. The group restarted its meetings and participated in the Five Points Festival in August by providing musical entertainment. Maxey said the group hopes to bring a variety of fine arts activities to the community and is working on developing a calendar of events in which at least one main activity per quarter would be presented, with other types of activities added.

The group hopes to announce a membership drive in January or February, at which time the finalized calendar would be announced. The group meets the third Thursday of each month at 6:30 pm in the

Sugg Room of the Ketcham Community Center and Maxey invited interested persons to attend.

Ms. Plumb talked about the group’s first major event, which will be a presentation of the play, “A Christmas Carol,” on Dec. 4-5 in the Hoover Community Theater. A donation from the former Trenton Acting Guild has provided funds to make the presentation possible. Ms. Plumb, who has a bachelor of arts degree in English with a minor in theater, will serve as the play director.
