CWU, Thrift Shop Present Rotary Club Program The Church Women United Thrift Shop and the Grundy County Community Food Pantry were the topics of a program presented to the Trenton Rotary Club at its meeting on Thursday, Oct. 28 at the BTC Bank community room. Brian Upton presided at the meeting and was the sergeant at arms.

Chris Hoffman gave the prayer.

Barbara Spencer discussed the Thrift Shop, which is open on Fridays from noon to 4 p.m. and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Thrift Shop is set up as a 501 (c)(3) and provides donations to various organizations throughout Grundy County, including the women’s shelter, the children’s advocacy center, the food pantry, the ministerial alliance and the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.

Funds are also provided to area schools as well as scholarships to North Central Missouri College. Mrs. Spencer noted the Thrift Shop is operated on a volunteer basis and has a variety of items for sale, which are donated by area residents.

Ginni Wikoff talked about the food pantry, which is also operated by an all-volunteer staff. Because of COVID, distribution of food is done as a drive-through, with volunteers packing up the food for individuals and then load the items into the recipients’ vehicles. In addition to the monthly

pickup, the food pantry provides items during holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas. The food pantry is also the local sponsor for the Backpack Buddy Program, which provides 100 weekend meals to school children in Grundy County. The food is provided through Second Harvest and distributed locally. Ms. Wikoff noted the 100 meals is less than what has been provided in the past. Donations can be made to the food pantry to help provide food for additional students, of which Ms. Wikoff said there is a great need. The food pantry also provides each school in the county with a package of each month, which is then distributed by school personnel to students they identify as needing extra food.

During the business meeting, it was announced the club Christmas party would be held on Dec. 2 at The Space in the evening.

A former Rotary Exchange Student, Stefan Falge, will present the program and food will be served. Information was also presented regarding the Rotary Youth Leadership Academy to be held this summer at Warrensburg. Members were asked to provide the RYLA Committee with names of local students who may have an interest in attending.

The next meeting of the club will be on Thursday, Nov. 4. Kim Washburn will have the program.

Two nurses at Wright Memorial Hospital, Ashley Stiles, left, WMH outpatient services, and Shawnette Greer, right, WMH surgical services, have been honored with the DAISY Award, an international program that recognizes the extraordinary clinical skills and compassionate care nurses provide. The award was established in 1999 by the family of J. Patrick Barnes, who died from complications of the autoimmune disease Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura at the age of 33. Because cinnamon rolls were Patrick’s favorite during his illness, Mrs. Stiles and Ms. Greer will be honored with a reception featuring the rolls in hopes that the aroma will cause nurses to stop and think about how special they are.

LOCAL STRAIGHT TALK WITH SAM Sixth District U.S. Rep. Sam Graves 1415 Longworth House Bldg.

Washington D.C. 20515 Phone: 202-225-7041 YOU’RE GOING TO PAY FOR IT these aren’t “high-class” problems. They’re workingclass problems. Americans that work for a living are worried if they can afford gas to go see Grandma for the holidays. They’re worried if they’re going to have to cut back because their grocery bill has exploded. They’re living paycheck-to-paycheck.

Instead of working to tackle these real-world problems for middle-class America, this Administration is

Rising prices are absolutely out of control. The New York Times is already projecting this will be the most expensive Thanksgiv-ing dinner in American history.

The supply chain crisis is sending the price of everything through the roof. We haven’t seen gas prices this high since Barack Obama was President.

That’s bad news for American families. Despite what the White House claims,

SHELLY’S PET CARE

dead set on making them worse. They want to ram through massive tax increases and huge mandatory spending programs that will fuel more inflation and rising prices. They’re living in fantasyland.

They say they’re just going to make corporations pay their fair share, but here’s the truth about their corporate income taxes— corporations don’t pay taxes, people do. When a corporation gets hit with a new tax bill, who do you think is going to have to pay it?

I think the answer is pretty obvious. Working Americans bear the brunt of these tax increases through higher prices. Don’t fall for all the fancy accounting tricks and empty promises, we’re all going to get stuck with the bill for the President’s spend-

ing spree.

We’re going to pay for it through increased gas prices. We’re going to pay for it through increased grocery prices. The cost of living is going to go through the roof while American’s paychecks stay stagnant. None of us are going to be getting a bill in the mail for this socialist spending spree, but you better believe we’re going to be the ones paying it.

They’re going to hide the real costs from us because they can’t pay for all the spending they want by taxing the rich. It simply isn’t possible, so they’re trying to hide the real costs from us. Don’t let them pull the wool over our eyes.

This massive socialist tax and spending plan needs to be stopped. If not, we’re going to pay the price.

REMEMBER TO “FALL BACK” THIS WEEKEND Once again, we have reached the time of year when the days are about to get shorter. We have been in autumn for a month now, but things are about to change for us once again because we are about to return to standard time.

Daylight-saving time dates back to 1908, when a city in Ontario, Canada, decided to move clocks ahead one hour on July 1. Other Canadian cities followed suit, and then Germany and Austria picked up on the idea.

Congress enacted daylightsaving time in the United States in 1918. We have changed this policy a number of times since, until the Uniform Time Act of 1966 was signed into law. The idea behind moving clocks ahead by one hour has mainly been to conserve energy.

Since 2007, we have observed daylight-saving time as starting on the second Sunday in March and ending

on the first Sunday in November. The same will hold true this year. November 7 is the first Sunday of the month, at which point, we will be back on standard time. It is also a good idea to change the batteries in your smoke detectors this weekend, too.

Shorter days and longer nights are a reminder of some of the things to come, such as deer season, which means watching out for animals crossing the roads around sunrise and sunset each day. And, it also means the holiday season is quickly approaching. Soon, it will be a brand-new year for us as well.

As always, please feel free to call, email or write with your ideas or concerns.

My Capitol office number is (573) 751-1415, my email is dan.hegeman@senate.mo.g ov and my mailing address is Room 332, State Capitol Building, Jefferson City, MO 65101.

LOCAL Coexist With Wildlife While Preventing Damage By: Linda Geist, Writer, MU Extension; Source: Robert Pierce Few things are more enjoyable than watching deer in your backyard or listening to squirrels chatter at dusk or dawn from your patio. That is, until you find that they have inflicted costly damage to your home, patio furniture, flower bed or garden. In some cases, such as bird droppings, wildlife can even be hazardous to your health. Landowners and homeowners need to tolerate some wildlife damage, but they should also take proactive steps to prevent problems, says Robert Pierce, University of Missouri Extension fisheries and wildlife specialist. Preventing wildlife damage

can be costly, says Pierce.

“There are no panaceas or magic bullets,” he says.

Measures should be part of an integrated pest management system using a variety of techniques.

For measures to succeed, it is important to correctly identify the species causing the problem, understand their behavior and evaluate the damage. While keeping in mind the positive value of wildlife, consider a variety of solutions and choose the one that is most effective, cost-efficient and humane.

Some ways include: • Physical barriers. Add fencing, put foam over openings in structures or install flashing around trees.

• Habitat. Remove food,

water and cover sources that wildlife use. Remove pet food bowls and clean up brush piles, grass and woodpiles. Close off crawl spaces where rodents can enter to take refuge.

• Remove the welcome mat. Use visual scare controls such as plastic owls, hawks or scarecrows.

These can work well for preventing bird damage.

Create noise and use appropriate taste or odor repellants as short-term solutions. While inexpensive, these methods work best when used with other methods and may cover only a small area for a short time.

• Shooting or hunting.

Check regulations and consider safety.

More aggressive

methods include traps and labeled toxicants. Pierce says it is important to follow all state and federal regulations before implementing a damage control program. For more information, the free MU Extension publication “Solving Wildlife Damage Problems in Missouri” is available at extension.missouri.edu/g94 25. The publication includes contacts for technical assistance from the Missouri Department of Conservation and USDAAPHIS Wildlife Services.

Many MU Extension guides on wildlife damage management are available at county extension centers or online at extension.missouri.edu/programs/nuisance-wildlife.

Fall Is The Time To Plant Garlic

Garlic (Allium sativum) is a member of the lily family and has been cultivated for thousands of years. It is widely used for both its culinary and medicinal attributes.

About one-half of U.S. garlic production is sold in the fresh market; the other

half is dehydrated. Fall is the best time to plant garlic, a good three weeks prior to the ground freezing, so the roots have a chance to develop.

Garlic should be planted in well-drained soil in full sun. It likes organic matter, so amend soil with com-

post or well-rotted organic matter. In addition to adding organic matter, apply two to three pounds of 1010-10 fertilizer per 100 square feet before planting.

It is best to get garlic from garden centers, catalogs or local producers. The garlic sold in grocery stores is usually treated to prevent it from sprouting, so it’s not a good choice for planting.

Garlic bulbs should be broken apart into individual cloves, but don’t do it until right before planting.

Choose the largest cloves for planting to get the best yields. Cloves that are diseased or soft should be discarded, and small or damaged can be used in the kitchen. Once the soil has been prepared and cloves selected, plant them one to two inches deep and four to five inches apart with 15 to

18 inches between rows.

Make sure to plant the cloves with the pointed side facing up.

During the growing season, try to keep the soil evenly moist. If the soil gets too dry, it can result in small, irregularly shaped bulbs. They need about an inch of water a week.

Garlic should be harvested when half of the leaves have turned yellow, usually around late June/early July. Bulbs should be cured in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area for several weeks. Once your garlic is cured, the stems and roots can be cut off and bulbs cleaned by removing the outermost skin. Just make sure not to expose the cloves. Finally, they should be stored in a cool, dry, dark place.

Extension Notes

by University of Missouri Extension YEAR-END “TO DO” LIST

by By Joe Koenen, Agricultural Business Specialist University of Missouri Extension In my article today I am going to discuss several end of the year issues you as producers should think about.

First of those is taxes.

Farmer’s Tax Guides are an excellent reference for farmers on income tax questions and will be available in early to mid-December in your county extension office.

Do not forget the Farm Income Tax Schools being held in person and virtually on Wednesday, December 1 and Thursday, December 2.

The closest in-person locations for it are Keytesville (Courthouse at 306 South Cherry) or Princeton (505 South Stewart) on the 1st or Marshall (Fairgrounds at 2707 South 65 Hwy) on the 2nd. There is no cost for this program that goes from 6:15 to 8:30 pm.

Pre-registration is recommended for materials.

Farmers that are cash basis taxpayers should do a tax estimate towards year end to determine if they should adjust income or expenses. Finally, income tax forms (1099 and 1096 forms among others) will be available in early to mid-December as well.

The second area I want to address are land concerns. This time of year, when harvest is closing out is a good time to figure

yields on a landowner and farm basis. Many of you do this for crop insurance but you should do it for yourself also. Doing that should include any weed, disease or low yield portions in the field to mark for future reference.

Soil testing in the fall before the ground freezes or gets covered is a good idea also.

Finally, good communication with your landlord can avoid bigger problems later on.

The final area I want to address is finances. The end of the year allows you to look back on how the year went and what progress you have made financially. I suggest doing a financial statement close to the end of the year and then comparing it back 3 to 5-years to determine progress or if you regressed and why either is true. There are spreadsheets around to help you with this. Contact me (660) 947-2705 or koenenj@missouri.edu if you would like one. It is not too early to start thinking about 2022 planting and livestock plans and cash flow either.

Remember that the University of Missouri Extension does educational programs on many subjects, including livestock, agronomy, horticulture, foods, family education, businesses, ag business (fence law, leases, estate planning, finances) and many others. Contact the Livingston County Extension Office at (660) 6460811 for help or more information.

LOCAL

A Word From... by the Trenton Ministerial Alliance Anchored In Hope

by Sharon Jahraus, Co-Pastor of Trenton Foursquare Church “All in – All out” reads a local sports playing field fence.

Psalm 91, is a Word from the Lord for today. It comes with God’s promise: “…if you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter…” “The Lord says (vs. 14), ‘I will rescue those who love Me. I will protect those who trust in My Name.’” Are we “all in” to trusting God? Believers in Jesus Christ are described in Revelation 7 as believers that came out. They went in to the tribulation, but they came out. These overcomers survived suffering like we have yet to see; but God

proved Himself faithful as they trusted the Lord through their darkest times as well as their blessed times. When they came out, they praised God with these words from Revelation 7: “Salvation comes from our God who sits on the throne and from the Lamb! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and strength belong to our God forever and ever! Amen.”

These believers went “all out” in praise and thanks to God. May this Thanksgiving be one of giving thanks and praise to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. No matter what we are going through, we are coming out.

Happy Thanksgiving! All in and All out!

While Zach Allen was ready to tag her out, she made her way toward third base before getting called out - to no one’s surprise - for breaking the rules and running out of the baseline.

DISTRICT SEMIFINALS @ MARYVILLE FRIDAY, 7 P.M.

GABE NOVAK returns a kickoff deep into Brookfield territory during the Bulldogs’ 28-6 victory in Class 2, District 7 play on Friday night at Burlington Field.

THUNDERSTRUCK Trenton Topples Brookfield For First District Win Since 2016 The speaker system at Burlington Field pulsed ACDC’s Thunderstruck throughout the stadium. After a whirlwind series of events that saw Trenton score 10 points in under three minutes of game clock, Brookfield certainly looked the part.

A safety, touchdown and 2-point conversion staked Trenton to a 10-0 lead early in the second quarter and provided the spark that propelled the Bulldogs to a 286 district victory over Brookfield on Friday night. It was Trenton’s first victory in a district game since 2016 and just the second overall for the program since the state moved to the current district format ahead of the 2012 season. It also marked Trenton’s first victory over Brookfield since 2007.

“We just wanted it,” Trenton defensive

tackle Gabe Stark said. “We all came out to play and they didn’t.”

The game was a defensive struggle early, but Trenton finally mounted an offensive drive late in the frame. That drive stalled out at the 30-yard line however and Bulldogs’ head coach Kevin Hixson elected to punt.

He couldn’t have possibly hoped for a better outcome than what ensued.

Coleman Griffin’s punt rolled to a stop at the half yard line and Caleb Johnson stopped Brookfield’s Tommy Gunn cold a yard deep in the end zone for a safety.

After a big return on the free kick, Trenton drove down and punched the ball in the end zone on a three-yard run by Griffin.

After initially lining up for a point-after kick, Brookfield jumped offside, moving the ball to the one-yard line. Trenton went for two; Gibson got in.

In the blink of an eye, a 0-0 ballgame now saw Trenton ahead by double digits.

“I wanted to play field position and I asked Coleman if he thought he could get it down in the corner on the left side,” Hix[See TRENTON, Page B3]

GALLATIN 48, PUTNAM COUNTY 16

Muddy Track No Problem For Gallatin Bulldogs Bulldogs Oust Midgets In Class 1, District 7 Opener The playing field at Bulldog Stadium was a muddy mess when Gallatin and Putnam County kicked off in the opening round of the Class 1, District 7 Tournament on Friday night. Gallatin caught its stride despite the less than favorable conditions and routed Putnam County 48-16 for its sixth-straight victory.

“I continue to be proud of this group of players and coaches and the way they bring it each week,”

Gallatin head coach Patrick Treece said. “This group is not ready to hang it up for the season and will continue to fight for every opportunity that we get.”

Putnam County, the district’s seven seed, didn’t represent much of a challenge on paper, but the Midgets entered the game on a high after upsetting Polo in the final week of the regular season.

Gallatin was able to avoid the trap, however, building a 34-0 lead in the first half before cruising to the finish and into the semifinals.

Quarterback Peyton Baker gave Gallatin the early edge, scoring twice in the first quarter.

NCMC Women Returning A Lot Gallatin Runs Over Pirates Eye BackTo-Back Region 16 Championships Had it not been for a reworked district format last season — due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic — the North Central Missouri College women’s basketball team might have ended up going to the NJCAA Division II National Tournament.

As it was, however, the one-year format placed the Pirates in the same district bracket as eventual national champion Lake Land College. As a result, North Central’s season ended a game shy of the national tournament, leaving the Pirates to settle for a Region 16 championship season.

But a new season brings a return to normalacy — at least in the form of the NJCAA national tournament qualifying process.

Should the Pirates repeat as Region 16 champions, they would have to just beat the Region 2 champion from

Arkansas to earn a berth in the national tournament.

Leading the way in the Pirates’ bid to do just that are returnees Kennadie Crowe, Nora Ford and Maci Moore. All three played big roles for the Pirates last season and that group will look to replace the production lost by the graduations of Kortlyn Rounkles, Lily Osborn and Kennedie Kieffer.

“Those three gained valuable experience last season and played a ton of minutes for us,” North Central head coach Jenni Croy said. “We look for them to be huge factors in what we do on both ends of the floor.”

Moore was the leading scorer for the Pirates a year ago, averaging 15.1 points per game. She also tallied a team-high 8.5 rebounds per game. At 11.8 points per game, Crowe was the second leading scorer on the team and she also grabbed 6.5 rebounds per game. Behind Rounkles and Osborn, Ford was the fifth-leading scorer with 9.7 points per game and she also picked up two steals and four assists per game on the year.

With those three at the

helm, North Central is primed to make a run at the national tournament this season.

Also returning for NCMC are Angel Wiggins, Jasmine Taylor, Jordan Hibner and Kaylie Stufflebean. Those four will look to increase their roles this year after filling in as reserves a year ago.

The Pirates don’t have a huge roster with just 11 players listed. With seven of the 11 returning from last year’s team, North Central is pretty far along already with the season only beginning tonight (Tuesday).

“It’s nice when you return a lot of your core group because they know what you expect and how things are done,” Croy said.

“It just makes practice run a little smoother. They have really set the pace this year.

They know where they want to be at the end of the season and they bring it every day on the court.”

Newcomers to the team include Jordyn Gray from Milan, Maryville’s Emily Cassavaugh as well as Toya Bethel and Brooke Bartholomew. Croy hopes to get some productive minutes

from that group this season and Gray has already impressed the coaching staff in the team’s preseason scrimmages.

“Jordyn has impressed us on both ends of the floor,” Croy said. “We scrimmaged with Graceland last week and they just had a tremendous athlete at the post position. When we took Maci or Jasmine out, Jordyn came in off the bench and I bet she had three steals in a row off this kid. She is deceiving — she doesn’t look like she would be that quick — but she is smart on the floor. She just puts herself in the right positions on both ends. She is just a heady player and very smart, so that has been a nice surprise for us.”

Defending will be the biggest key for North Central in 2021-2022. Croy knows her team can score, so being able to get stops will be the key to success at the end of they year.

“This team can score,” Croy said. “It will be on our defense — can we defend, can we play teams that are bigger, faster and stronger than we are. We have been working a ton on defense this year.”

2021-2022 North Central Missouri College Women’s Basketball Schedule

Putnam County [GALLATIN, from Page B1] Jagger Gray followed the first score — coming just two minutes into the ballgame — with a successful 2-point conversion run and Gallatin led 14-0 midway through the opening frame.

Gray then scored a touchdown of his own and ran in another two to put the Bulldogs up 22-0 after one quarter. Gray added a second rushing touchdown late in the half and Gallatin got its first passing touchdown with 22 seconds left in the second quarter on a pass from Baker to Isaac Bird. That sent Gallatin into the locker room with a 34-0 advantage.

In the second half, Gray added his third touchdown and third 2-point conversion as Gallatin stretched the lead to 42. Draven Wright scored late in the third quarter on his first rushing touchdown of the night to send Gallatin into the final frame with a 48-0 lead.

Putnam County would get into the end zone twice in the fourth quarter, picking up 2-point conversions after each score to close the gap to 48-16, but the game was already in hand at that point as the Midgets’ sea-

son ended and Gallatin advanced to the semifinals.

Gallatin was able to avoid a turnover in the game while Putnam County suffered a pair of giveaways. Bird picked off a Putnam County pass in the first half and Gray fell on a fumble in the second.

“We knew [Putnam] would come in here with great confidence after knocking off Polo the week prior,” Treece said. “We just wanted to make sure that we gave great effort and did the little things right. The playing field was completely saturated and I thought we did a great job of playing through the conditions and still playing at a high level. We were able to avoid turning the ball over and owned the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.”

With the win, Gallatin moved to 8-2 overall on the season and into the Class 1, District 7 semifinals where the Bulldogs will host Milan on Friday. Gallatin won the regular-season meeting with Milan, also played in Gallatin, 40-6.

The district meeting between the two schools will kick off at 7 p.m. on Friday.

TRENTON

Trenton Into Semifinals [TRENTON, from Page B1] son said. “He said he would give it a shot and he did a great job. Collin (Taylor) got down there and got the ball and it paid off.

“Defensively we were pretty aggressive at first and when you are backed up there [like Brookfield was] there is only a handful of things you can do. We came after them. I sent everybody and it worked.”

The Bulldogs had control and momentum and Brookfield did little to erase that the rest of the night. Even after Brookfield’s lone score of the game, a kick return by Amos Baum following a 27-yard touchdown run by Gabe Novak that stretched Trenton’s lead to 16-0, Trenton responded. The Bulldogs sapped the momentum from the Brookfield sideline when Novak ran the next kick off all the way to the Brookfield 15. A handful of plays later, Gibson scored on a 1-yard run to push the lead back to 16 points.

Trenton took the 22-6 lead into the locker room.

When Sam Gibson ran a Brookfield defender over early in the fourth quarter, scoring on a 3-yard run, he slowly turned to observe his conquered foe.

This game was over.

The only excitement the final 11:52 saw was a Brookfield player getting ejected in a game that was pretty chippy throughout.

Both teams cost themselves points in the second half.

Trenton’s first drive of the second half, a masterful 12play, seven minute march ended without points after a personal foul backed the Bulldogs up too far for their power running game to pick up another first down.

Brookfield, meanwhile, drove to the Trenton 11yard line before losses and back-to-back personal fouls resulted in the home Bulldogs attempting to convert a 4th-and-52.

Brookfield hardly needed any added issues as Trenton’s defense created plenty of adversity for the Blue and White all night.

Stark, Johnson, Trevor Murphy and Kaden Owen were in the Brookfield backfield all night. The Bulldogs front four harassed Brookfield quarterback Colton Parn, even sending him to the sideline with an injury late in the game, and met Brookfield runners at the line of scrim-

mage with pops that echoed throughout the grounds at Burlington Field.

“Those guys watched the film from week 1 and then they watched film from the past couple of weeks and they could see how much better they have gotten,” Hixson said. “I’m pretty excited for them and they played hard on both sides of the ball. I didn’t realize until the defensive guys said ‘coach they didn’t score an offensive touchdown on us.’ So, I’m pretty proud of them and they did it for 48 minutes.”

Offensively, Trenton was led by Gibson, who had 125 yards on 25 carries.

Novak had 118 yards on 11 carries, but his impact was felt in all three phases of the game. In addition to his offensive prowess, Novak had the big kick return following Brookfield’s only score and set up an offensive touchdown for himself by getting a key interception on defense.

“Before the game even started, Coach said that we needed to play our best game today,” Novak said.

“I took that and put that on the field. I played my best and went as hard as I could on every play.”

Ian Elbert added 39 yards rushing on eight

carries in the win.

That win pushes Trenton into the district semifinals for just the second time.

The jubilation after the game was warranted, but the reward couldn’t be more challenging as the Bulldogs will now travel to Maryville on Friday to face the top-seeded Spoofhounds.

“What an opportunity to go play a team like Maryville,” Hixson said. “Most people would be like oh my gosh, but I’m excited. It gives us an opportunity to see where we are against a tried and true powerhouse, basically.”

The win also vaulted Trenton back to .500 at 5-5 overall. The mark is a massive step forward for a program that suffered through an 0-8 campaign just one year ago.

“I told the young kids when I got in [to the locker room] this is just the beginning,” Hixson said. “You work hard and it will pay off and it has paid off for them. I just love the fact that these kids played hard and did what they were asked to do and did what they were coached to do.”

Trenton and Maryville will kick off at 7 p.m. in the Class 2, District 7 semifinals on Friday at the Hound Pound.

Dear Annie: More than 65 years ago, my mother was a military wife, a German "war bride" and an orphan from the war. This means that I had no grandparents on my mother's side of the family.

So, we always went to my father's parents' house on Christmas Day, but this led to some frustrations, so my mother put her foot down. She told her master sergeant spouse (my father) that she was no longer going to Grandmother's house (his mother) on Christmas Day. Her other son and his family lived there. Her kids were going to enjoy their toys in their own home on Christmas Day and visit later. She was tired of her kids seeing the cousins having fun all day with their toys and having to enjoy their Christmas toys later.

It worked out fine. She knew about boundaries before it became a psychological theme! -- Setting Boundaries Dear Setting Boundaries: Thank you for shar-

ing the story of how your mother solved this problem for you and your siblings without offending your grandparents. She was ahead of her time in setting boundaries for grandparents.

Dear Annie: Nearly 50 years ago, while a high school student, I met an upperclassman who completely swept me off my feet. We clicked with each other almost immediately and loved being together as much as possible. He was leaving for college the following year, and his mother made no secret of the fact that she wanted him to leave without having a girlfriend back home.

I was a year younger, so my future was not yet set.

We wanted to stay together even though he would be two states away. We felt that we could make it work during breaks and summer vacations. However, by late summer, his mother had convinced him that breaking it off with me was the best course of action.

To say the very least, I

was heartbroken and mourned the loss for 10 years.

Eventually, I met a nice man, settled down and had a family. I was happy but always felt the loss, and now, almost 50 years later and a widow, I still feel the same as I did back then. Of course, he is a married man now, and I would never pursue him.

I feel that seeing a counselor about this would be considered trivial since there are so many in the world suffering right now. - Still Missing My First Love Dear Missing My First Love: You are looking back on your youth, when things were more simplistic and you had fewer responsibilities. The reality is that you feel what you feel, and your yearning is nothing to be trivialized. Perhaps you are missing your husband, and it is much easier to miss a person you knew for a short time and didn't share a life with. It certainly can be a lot less painful.

Talking to a counselor could be just what you need to help sort out what you really long for and what you want in your life today.

Your feelings are NOT trivial.

Consumer comeback?

Consumers regained confidence in October as the summer wave of COVID-19 subsided, signaling to Wall Street that the economic recovery has more room to advance.

The Consumer Confidence Index, a gauge of consumer attitudes toward spending, recovered in the spring but slipped again as the highly contagious delta variant crimped consumer spending.

October’s surprise rebound was also driven by more favorable views of the labor market, according to analysts at Wells Fargo.

The economic recovery relies on consumer spending, which makes up about 70% of all economic activity. The boost in

confidence comes despite a wide range of companies raising prices on goods as they try to counter rising inflation. Higher gasoline prices and energy costs have also raised concerns about people cutting back on discretionary spending and shifting spending to essential items and services.

Inflation remains high on the list of concerns for consumers, but they still plan on making big purchases like homes, cars and major appliances.

“Consumers are really taking it in stride right now, but we’ll see how long this continues,” said Megan Horneman, director of portfolio strategy at Verdence Capital Advisors.
