Holiday Classic Set For Dec. 4 & 5 Scott Washburn Takes On The Role Of Scrooge It’s not everyone who would want to be identified as Ebenezer Scrooge especially during the holiday season. But Scott Washburn makes no bones about feeling a certain kinship with the “A Christmas Carol” character whose name is synonymous with selfishness, greed - and yes, redemption. “When I auditioned I came in and told (Director) Ann (Plumb) I was Scrooge,” he said Saturday morning as the cast of the Art’s Alive production rehearsed the Charles Dickens holiday classic, which will be presented at the Hoover Community Theater on Saturday, Dec. 4 and Sunday, Dec. 5. Washburn said he had taken a Victorian Literature class as a college student and was required to prepare a monologue for a victorian-period character. He selected Ebenezer Scrooge, which earned him a high grade and good remarks, so he felt a kinship with the

character. At the audition, he already knew many lines from the book. “I just started quoting lines from the book and I think that caught her by

surprise that I was prepared,” he recalled. “I did my best to come through that I was Scrooge.” He earned the part, which is a good thing be-

cause he said if he was sitting in the audience watching the production rather than playing Scrooge he would probably be thinking to himself how he would be saying the lines and would be kicking himself for not being onstage as the character. Part of what drew Washburn to the role is the story of redemption in which the miserly, cold-hearted Scrooge transforms into a kind and generous man. That’s Washburn’s favorite part - the story of change in Scrooge; the redemption story that is at the heart of “A Christmas Carol.” “Ultimately, that’s what’s most important telling the story of redemption.” Washburn said he was in a few school plays, but nothing like this production. In fact, that’s one of the unique aspects of this cast, he said, that almost no one has any experience besides Ms. Plumb. What they do all have though is a love for the story of Scrooge and his change of heart. “All of the people in this play know and love the [See PLAY, Page 4]

Planning Under Way For Great Northwest Day Event At Capitol Scheduled For February 1-2 Planning is under way for the 2022 Great Northwest Day at the Capitol. The event allows constit-

uents of the 19-county northwest Missouri region to have a more direct and effective voice in Jefferson City. The GNW steering committee is comprised of community leaders throughout the region, with county coordinators selected to represent each

county. They are appointed with the task of reaching out to their community leaders to gather legislative priorities they feel have a regional impact. The GNW priorities committee takes that information to select the top four or five priorities that

will be the focus during the Great Northwest Day at the Capitol two-day event. Now in its 20th year, this year’s GNW event will be held Feb. 1 and 2 at the Capitol Plaza in Jefferson City. The event itinerary includes introductions of the delegation on the House

LATHROP GIRLS 43 GALLATIN GIRLS 18

One week before the Gallatin Bulldogs hosted Lathrop in the seasonopening basketball game, returning unanimous All-Grand River Conference selections Isaac Bird and Payton Feiden were strapping on helmets and pads for a district championship football game. That duo and a majority of their teammates didn’t hit the gym until Monday, but the late start didn’t seem to be much of a factor as the Bulldogs rolled up Lathrop 77-56 on Friday at home. “There are some things offensively and defensively that we can do better, but overall I think it was pretty good for the limited amount of practice [See BULLDOGS, Page 3]

The Gallatin High School girls basketball team did not win their season-opening game on Friday. Far from it, in fact. But, when the dust settled on a 43-18 loss at the hands of the visiting Lathrop Mules, one thing stood out to first year head coach Cole Lockhart — his team’s fight. “We fought the whole game and never shied away from the challenge,” Lockhart said. “Lathrop tried to put us away early and the fact that we still were playing with them late into the third quarter was an encouraging sign. I think we have a good toughness about us right now and we just have to stay on the grind as we [See GALLATIN, Page 3]

Tough Night In Macon Trenton Teams Dealt SeasonOpening Losses MACON GIRLS 49 TRENTON 30 MACON BOYS 95 TRENTON 34 The Trenton High School basketball teams got a rough welcome to the 2021-2022 season on Friday as they traveled to Macon. The host Tigers sent the Bulldogs packing with a 49-30 loss in the girls game and a 95-34 loss in the boys game. Trenton’s girls limited Macon to single-digit totals in each of the first two quarters, but a 19-point outburst by Macon put Trenton in a 14-point hole entering the final frame. There would be no come-

back as the Tigers took the game by 19 points. “The girls competed really well against a good team,” Trenton head coach Kameron Cool said. “They had a great two days of practice after our jamboree and worked on some of the issues we needed to improve on. I loved our energy and am excited to build on it moving forward.” Mirena King had a teamhigh 11 points to lead Trenton while Morgan King added six points and Teya Cooksey finished with five. Chandler Lynch had four points with three assists, Madi Moore had three points with five rebounds and Gracyn Rongey rounded out the team’s total with one point. On the boys side, a 31-6 Macon run in the first quarter buried the Bulldogs and set the tone for the rest

of the game. Dylan Spencer scored 10 points to lead Trenton and Maverick Sole scored eight points. Gabe Novak had six points and five assists and Kiefer Tolson added five points. Four points from Trevor Murphy and one from Hunter Smith rounded out the Bulldogs’ effort. “Tonight was a learning experience for us,” Bulldogs’ head coach Corbin Coe said. “Macon is a very good basketball team. I was proud of the way our team competed the whole night. A lot of players got their first taste of varsity basketball and it will only make us better as the year goes along.” Trenton’s teams, both 01 now, travel to Gower tonight to take on East Buchanan. Action tips off at 6 p.m. with the girls’ contest.

Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, the Pick 10 contest has an early deadline this week. Entries must be received by 1 p.m. on Wednesday as opposed to the traditional Thursday deadline. Another twist to the contest this week involves the Kansas City Chiefs, who are on bye this week. The tiebreakers, usually the total points scored and yards gained by the Chiefs, have been replaced with Thanksgiving themed tiebreakers. Contestants will be asked to guess the total points scored and yards gained in all three Thanksgiving day games combined. Entries can be submitted by the deadline at any one of the participating sponsors or the Trenton Republican-Times office. Local sponsors of the Pick 10 contest include Hy-Vee, ServeLink, T&L Auto, Chumbley’s, Barnes-Baker and Farmers Bank of Northern Missouri.

TMS Falls In Princeton

The Trenton Middle School basketball teams wrapped up play in the Princeton Tournament on Thursday. Neither squad was able to pick up a win in the third-place contests as the girls fell 23-15 to Gallatin and the boys lost 2016 to Princeton. For the Trenton girls (05), Laylah Clause and Mylee Baker each had four points to lead the way. Trenton’s boys (1-4), meanwhile, got seven points from Elijah Miller and four from Isaac Dixon. Both Trenton teams returned to the court on Monday, traveling to Chillicothe and the two squads will be at home on Monday, Nov. 30, playing host to Bishop Hogan.

Pirates Split At Classic Pirates Give No. 1 Kirkwood A Scare, Top McCook At Classic KIRKWOOD 92, NCMC 88 NCMC 85, McCOOK 77 1

There would be no second upset of another No.1-ranked team this year for the North Central Missouri College men’s basketball team, but that didn’t mean the Pirates didn’t put a scare into top-ranked Kirkwood Community College at the Indian Hills Classic Friday in Ottumwa, IA. North Central was outscored by just two points in the first half and two more in the second, leading to a highly competitive four-point loss, 92-88. Isaiah Ervin carried much of the load for the Pirates, finishing with a game-high 32 points and six rebounds. Sterling DeSha added 17 points off the bench and Kolten Griffin went for 14 points and four blocked shots. The Pirates also got eight points and eight rebounds from Gerald

Gittens and Riak Mabour scored eight points as well. The disappointment of coming up just short didn’t seem to phase North Central, however, as the Pirates came back with an 85-77 victory over McCook Community College on the second day of the event. Gittens had 20 points and seven rebounds to pace the Pirates off the bench. Griffin had 19 points, 16 rebounds and three blocked shots and Ervin had 13 points and three assists. DeMarcus Sandford Jr. and Mack Anderson both scored 10 points in the win with Anderson adding 13 rebounds and three blocks while Sandford dished out three assists. The split in Indian Hills moved the Pirates to 5-4 overall on the season. The Pirates will be on the road tonight (Tuesday), traveling to Quincy, IL to take on John Wood Community College on the road. That game tips off at 7 o’clock. The North Central women are in Sedalia tonight to take on State Fair Community College in a game scheduled to tip off at 5:30.

Bulldogs Pick Up Victory [BULLDOGS, from Page 2] time for all the guys,” Gallatin head coach Chad Sullenger said. Gallatin doubled up Lathrop in the opening frame, taking an 18-9 advantage early. The Bulldogs would lead 32-20 at halftime and really took off offensively when the third quarter began. Gallatin tacked on 20 points to its total in the third quarter and 25 in the fourth as the Bulldogs got more and more comfortable. Bird and Feiden did their parts with Bird leading the way. He scored 22 points and pulled down nine rebounds while swiping a pair of steals. Feiden added 19 points, five rebounds and two steals of his own. Boston Bell added 12 points and Layton Shubert finished with eight points and five rebounds. Gallatin also got six points each from Peyton Johnson and Brett Hemry with those two adding four and three assists respectively. Four points from Durk Stout rounded out the Gallatin total. With the win, the Bulldogs established a 1-0 start to the season. The Bulldogs will look to go 2-for-2 tonight as they travel to Pattonsburg to take on the Panthers in a Grand River Conference cross-division match-up. The game tips off following a girls match-up between the two schools, which is scheduled to begin at 6 o’clock.

The Mules hammered away at the hosts in the opening frame, starting the game on an 11-0 run. Gallatin wouldn’t score its first points of the season until the second quarter, but thanks to some strong play on the defensive end, the Bulldogs were able to keep themselves in the ballgame.

Gallatin had the ball with a chance to cut the deficit to single digits in the third quarter. Ultimately Lathrop shook loose and closed the game with an 11-1 run to put the game away. Ultimately, the Bulldogs didn’t have enough offense to compete with the Class 3 Mules. Gallatin shot just 18 percent from the field and Elle Copple led the team in scoring with just eight points. Alex Endicott added

five points and AnnaBelle Ball finished with four points, five rebounds and three steals. Three free throws from Ashley Feiden rounded out the Bulldog total. The loss established an 0-1 record to start the season for the Bulldogs. Gallatin will look to find its way into the win column tonight (Tuesday), traveling to Pattonsburg for action.

Washburn is not just excited about this play, but also the fact that live community theater is back in Trenton after an absence of several years following the disbandment of the Trenton Acting Guild. Art’s Alive was formed just as the COVID-19 pandemic hit and that meant a delay in moving forward with events.

NCMC personnel also presented a workshop on diversity, which was very well received. Dr. Klaver discussed various meetings and legislative issues that he is involved in. Dr. Klaver and Vice President of Student Affairs Dr. Kristen Alley told trustees that multiple discussions are being held with students in regard to what they would like to see in a new proposed student commons/dining hall/bookstore. Dr. Alley said she has asked students to not just think about what they want in the building, but how they would utilize it. Among the items listed were space to watch movies, a stage to sing karaoke, an area to play games such as pool, ping

Having an area to watch the eSports team compete was also mentioned, as was a row of computers that are connected to 3D printers. Students also said they would like to have a place, such as a convenience store, to purchase laundry detergent, snack items, bread, milk, etc., after hours. An update was given on the progress of the renovation of the Savannah campus, with trustees learning there is a holdup due to the lab losing the environmental samples that are necessary to get started. There is a mandatory 30day waiting period to bid the project once that is complete, so it is hoped to “get shovels in the ground” right after the first of the year with a goal of opening for students with the fall semester. In her report, Dr. Alley said the Veterans Day program was successful and noted that the NCMC treelighting ceremony in front

of Geyer Hall will take place on Wednesday, Dec. 1. As for spring enrollment, she said there are currently 57 more students enrolled than at this time last year. Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Tristan Londre told the board that the college is now a CNA testing site which he expects to bring several potential nursing and health students to the campus. He noted that 11 NCMC business students attended an informational event at Graceland University, with which the college recently signed an articulation agreement in regard to the sports management program. He also reported on the PAS Conference held at Ozark Technical College in which several NCMC students were state winners. Trustees approved the transfer of Chris Mengel of Trenton from student services coordinator to admission recruiter, a full-time AMP position. The start date was set for Dec. 13. In addition, Sarah Bonnett of Trenton was approved for a transfer from custodian to lead custodian, a full-time, exempt classified staff po-

sition. In other personnel matters, Lorinda Ross of Troy, KS, was hired as a radiologic technology instructor and clinical coordinator. She will have an 11-month contract and will begin her duties Jan. 11. Jeremy Wilson of Savannah was hired as a surgical technology instructor and program director, also on an 11-month contract with a start date of Jan. 3. Liza Duncan of Carrollton was hired as a full-time marketing and interlibrary loan librarian. The resignation of Rickiann Hoskins as technical support engineer was accepted, effective Nov. 19. Also approved was the employment of Margaret Groves as a teacher aide for the Green Hills Head Start site at Bethany and the employment of Kortney Nelson as a part-time teacher aide at the Chillicothe “A” Head Start site.

COMMUNITY Shooter Training Is Topic Of November 18 Rotary Meeting The Trenton Rotary Club heard about active shooter training during a program presented at the Thursday, Nov. 18 meeting held at the BTC Bank community room. Brian Upton presided at the meeting, Dan Wilford gave the prayer and Allan Seidel was the sergeant at arms. Jeff Spencer of the Trenton Police Department told about the ALICE training program, developed in 2000 following school shootings at Columbine, Sandy Hook and Douglas Park. ALICE stands for alert, lockdown, inform, counter and evacuate, which is the protocol followed in dealing with an active shooter situation. Spencer said the program was originally developed for school situations, but has been adapted for uses by churches, hospitals, businesses, etc. He said it is hard to determine who an active shooter might be, noting that events usually happen very quickly once the shooter is at the location. He said that active shooters usually plan their attack until the time they are ready to execute it, however, the plan usually “goes out the door” and that there usually is “total chaos.” He said that the local law enforcement community has provided training to local schools, including Trenton R-9 and North Central Missouri College, and after December will be able to provide training to other entities. Spencer also reported that the Trenton Police Department will be adding five new officers in the coming weeks once approval is given by the Trenton City Council. During the business meeting, a sign up sheet was passed around for members to help with Holiday Hoops on Dec. 18. Members will also be bellringers for the Salvation Army in December, with a signup sheet to be available at the Rotary Christmas Party on Dec. 2. There will be no meeting on Nov. 25 due to the Thanksgiving holiday. The club will have its Christmas Party on Thursday, Dec. 2 at 6 p.m. at the Space. There will be no regular meeting on that date. The next regular meeting will be at noon on Thursday, Dec. 9 at the BTC Bank community room.

Membership Pins Presented To Helping Hands 4-H Club The Helping Hands 4-H Club met on Wednesday, Nov. 3. The meeting was called to order by President Levi Johnson. The American pledge was led by Ross Maloney and the 4H pledge was led by Owen Sharp. In attendance were nine members, two leaders, two parents and guest April Meighen. Roll call was completed by the members answering the question of what they dressed up as on Halloween. Ross read the minutes from the October meeting and made a motion to accept the minutes as read. Emmaleigh Maloney seconded the motion. The treasurer’s report was given by Owen Sharp. April Meighen from the University Extension office attended to present years of membership pins to members. She announced that her resignation from her position goes into effect on Dec. 3. She informed the club that the Energizer in Cameron, Teen Northwest Leadership Conference and 4H camp will all be options for members to

participate in this year to learn about their projects and complete project requirements. Under old business, members were reminded by Levi to get their enrollment completed for this year’s projects by Dec. 1 or a late fee will be added. Owen asked for volunteers to work shifts at the Thrift Store for the Church Women United each Saturday for the month of November. Under new business it was announced that 4-H Day of Service was Saturday, Nov. 6. Tree decorations were completed to be given to the residents at Bristol Manor as well as the Sharp and Johnson family working a shift at the Thrift Store. In lieu of a December meeting members will be completing community service by working shifts at the Thrift Store. Owen made a motion to adjourn the meeting and Emmaleigh seconded the motion. The next meeting will be Feb. 2, 2022 at 5:30 p.m. at the First Christian Church.

Shakespearean Circle Moves Forward In ‘Pericles’ The Shakespearean Circle met on Wednesday, Nov. 17 at 1:30 p.m. at the Activity Center of the First Christian Church in Trenton. The seven members in attendance included Krista Rickerson, Amy White, Nancy Trombley, Susan Engelmann, Sarah Dannar, Mary Jane Smith and Terry Cobb. Following the business meeting, Sarah Dannar opened the study of “Pericles, Prince of Tyre” Act V by recounting Pericles’ arduous physical and emotional journey during the play. She discussed how the play was popular during Shakespeare’s time because it had everything a

playwright thought an audience would want. Sarah also pointed out that at the time, it wasn’t shocking that Shakespeare wasn’t the sole writer of this play. Scripts were written very quickly then, and many plays, even many of Shakespeare’s more famous plays, had assistance from others. After viewing the video of Act V, members discussed the study questions. The next meeting of the Shakespearean Circle will be the annual Christmas luncheon on Wednesday, Dec. 1 at 12 p.m. at the First Christian Church Activity Center. Krista Rickerson and Amy White will be the hostesses.

Embroidery Is Meeting Topic The South Side Farm Club held its Nov. 17 meeting at Blackwater Restaurant. Nine members were present, including Jackie Altenderfer, Janice Belvel, Sue Brewer, Ellen Dolan, Marie Dolan, Jeanie Gibson, Robin Meservey, Viola Paschall and Judith Urich. Naomi McWilliams and Marcy Meservey were guests. The hostess, Mrs. Altenderfer, decorated the large table with fall arrangements. Each place setting had fall-themed towels and handmade coasters to also serve as individual hostess gifts. Mrs. Brewer, club president, brought the meeting to order and roll call was answered by various questions prepared by Mrs. Altenderfer and drawn from a

basket by members. Past minutes were read by Mrs. Paschall and Mrs. Brewer gave the treasurer’s report. Members voted to give monetary gifts to Back Pack Buddies at the December meeting. They also discussed programs for the 2022 meetings. Mrs. Gibson guessed the mystery gift. Mrs. Altenderfer gave the program on her journey through machine embroidery. Her favorite design programs for Austria are “Sweet Tea” and “Creative Kiwi.” She displayed several beautiful examples of her work, a framed picture and games for children and various bags. Mrs. Marie Dolan will be the hostess for the December meeting, with a meeting place to be announced at a later date.

LOCAL Rittenhouse Tells Fox News 'Not A Racist Person,' Backs BLM

NEW YORK (AP) — Kyle Rittenhouse, who was acquitted on charges stemming from killing two men and wounding another during the unrest that followed the shooting of a Black man by a white police officer, says in a new interview that he's “not a racist person” and supports the Black Lives Matter movement. “This case has nothing to do with race. It never had anything to do with race. It had to do with the right to self-defense,” the 18-year-old tells Fox News host Tucker Carlson in an interview set to air Monday night. Rittenhouse is white, as were the men he shot. Rittenhouse was 17 last year when he traveled 20 miles (32 kilometers) from his home in Antioch, Illinois, to Kenosha, Wisconsin, which had been racked with protests in the wake of the Aug. 23 shooting of Jacob Blake. That shooting and the response in Kenosha — protests that turned destructive — became part of the national reckoning over police use of force against Black people following George Floyd's death in Minneapolis the previous May at the hands of police. Rittenhouse, armed with an AR-style semiautomatic rifle, joined others who said they were intent on protecting private property from potential damage on Aug. 25. During his trial, prosecutors argued that the teenager as a “wannabe soldier” who went looking for trouble that night. Rittenhouse countered that he fired in self-defense after he was attacked and in fear for his life. The shootings quickly made Rittenhouse a rallying cry for supporters of Second Amendment rights and those angered by the sometimes violent protests seen in some American cities after Floyd's death. Rittenhouse was photographed in a bar before the trial with apparent members of the far-right Proud Boys. Rittenhouse's attorneys have said he is not a white supremacist. “I’m not a racist person. I support the BLM movement, I support peacefully demonstrating,” Rittenhouse tells Carlson in excerpts of the interview released by Fox News ahead of its airing. A jury last Friday found Rittenhouse not guilty on charges of homicide, attempted homicide and reckless endangering in the deaths of Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, and the wounding of Gaige Grosskreutz, now 28.

Mr.

SUV Driver In Parade Crash May Have Been Fleeing A Crime WAUKESHA, Wis. (AP) — Investigators are looking into whether the SUV driver who plowed through a Christmas parade in suburban Milwaukee, killing at least five people and injuring more than 40, was fleeing a crime, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press. The joyous scene of marching bands and children dancing in Santa hats and waving pompoms turned deadly in an instant on Sunday, giving way to screams and scenes of crumpled bodies as the SUV sped through barricades and struck dancers, musicians and others. Members of a “Dancing Grannies” club were among those killed. One person was taken into custody after a Waukesha police officer opened fire to try to stop the vehicle, authorities said. Two law enforcement officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized the discuss the matter publicly, identified the person as 39-year-old Darrell Brooks. Investigators were questioning him about an earlier crime, which one of the officials described as an argument involving a knife. The official cautioned the investigation was still in the early stages. Online court records showed that a person named Darrell Brooks Jr., with a birthdate making

him 39, has two open criminal cases in Milwaukee County. In one case, filed Nov. 5, he is charged with resisting or obstructing an officer, reckless endangering, disorderly conduct, bail jumping and battery. Records show $1,000 cash bond was posted on Friday. In the other case, filed in July 2020, Brooks is charged with reckless endangering and illegal possession of a firearm. Waukesha Police Chief Dan Thompson gave no immediate details about the person in custody or any possible motive. Thompson said that he did not know if the driver was hit by the officer’s bullets but that no bystanders were wounded. On its social media account, the city put the number of dead at at least five. The horror was recorded by the city’s livestream and onlookers' cellphones. One video shows the moment the SUV broke through the barricades and includes the sound of what apparently were several gunshots. Another video shows a young child dancing in the street as the SUV speeds by, just a few feet from her, before it hurtles into parade participants a few hundred feet ahead. One video, of dancers with pompoms, ends with a group of people tending to a girl on the ground. “There were pompoms and shoes and spilled hot chocolate everywhere. I

had to go from one crumpled body to the other to find my daughter,” Corey Montiho, a Waukesha school district board member, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “My wife and two daughters were almost hit. Please pray for everybody. Please pray.” The Milwaukee Dancing Grannies posted on its Facebook page that some of its members were among the dead. The organization describes itself as a “group of grannies that meet once a week to practice routines for summer and winter parades.” “Our group was doing what they loved, performing in front of crowds in a parade putting smiles on faces of all ages, filling them with joy and happiness,” the post said. “Those who died were extremely passionate Grannies. Their eyes gleamed ... joy of being a Grannie. They were the glue ... held us together.” A Roman Catholic priest, parishioners and Waukesha Catholic schoolchildren were among those injured, the Archdiocese of Milwaukee said. Chris Germain, coowner of the Aspire Dance Center studio, had about 70 people in the parade, including children as young as 2 being pulled in wagons and participants up to 18 years old. Germain, whose 3-yearold daughter was in the parade, said he was driving at the head of their entry when he saw a maroon SUV that “just blazed right past us.” A police officer ran past in chase. Germain said he jumped out of his own SUV and gathered the girls who were with him to safety. republican-times.com

Then he walked forward to see the damage. “There were small children laying all over the road. There were police officers and EMTs doing CPR on multiple members of the parade,” he said. Angelito Tenorio, a West Allis alderman who is running for Wisconsin state treasurer, said he was watching the parade with his family when they saw the SUV come speeding into the area. “Then we heard a loud bang,” Tenorio said. “And after that, we just heard deafening cries and screams from the crowd, from the people at the parade. And people started rushing, running away with tears in their eyes, crying.” The Waukesha school district canceled classes Monday and said extra counselors would be on hand for students and staff. The parade’s list of participants included cheer, dance and band entries associated with district schools. Gov. Tony Evers said he and his wife were “praying for Waukesha tonight and all the kids, families, and community members affected by this senseless act.” The parade, held each year on the Sunday before Thanksgiving, is sponsored by the city’s Chamber of Commerce. This year’s event, the 59th, had the theme of “comfort and joy.” Waukesha is a western suburb of Milwaukee, and about 55 miles (90 kilometers) north of Kenosha, where Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted Friday of charges stemming from the fatal shooting of two men and the wounding of a third during unrest in that city in August 2020. republican-times.com

TO BE THANKFUL IN A TRYING YEAR

Submitted Photo

Bobbing for apples was among the many activities held as part of the Trenton High School barnwarming, held Saturday night.

Every year that goes by, whether we realize it or not, Thanksgiving provides an increasingly rare opportunity. As we have become more mobile as a society, with relatives scattered about, or mobile in our communications, it seems we seldom have opportunities to slow things down a bit. Many of us see Thanksgiving as that rare opportunity to break from the “helter-skelter” and enjoy the fellowship of family and friends. As family and friends throughout Missouri and the nation join together in celebration of the Thanksgiving holiday, it is important to put the phone down and take the opportunity to simply enjoy the company of others. We all too often get caught up in the trials and tribulations of everyday life to enjoy the peace of a good meal and a healthy conversation or lively debate, but I am thankful that Thanksgiving provides us that opportunity and the chance to tell stories and reminisce. It has been another stressful year for most of us. The pandemic continues to

remind us how precious life is, and quickly time can pass. The children are a little older, the grandchildren are bigger. The age-old question of where the time goes comes into my mind more often, which is why I plan to take time to really engage family members this year. It is an opportunity that may not be there “next time.” I want this to be special. I do not want to wait until “next time.” This Thanksgiving, I encourage you to take the opportunity to slow life down for just a moment and take time to truly enjoy and remember the company of others who truly enrich our lives. I pray you and your family have a joyous holiday, filled with gratitude and love. Take care and God bless. As always, please feel free to call, email or write with your ideas or concerns.

FUTURES TRADING CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE Open

Turkeys Can Be Found: At A Price Turkeys may not be able to fly very far. But their prices can soar — along with the costs of other holiday staples like cranberry sauce and pie filling. The Thanksgiving table hasn’t been spared the price inflation that is rampant elsewhere in the economy because of strong consumer demand and labor shortages. The American Farm Bureau estimates a Thanksgiving feast for 10, complete with sweet potatoes, rolls, a vegetable tray and a pie with whipped cream, will cost $53.31 this year, up 14% from a year ago. It's an unusual spike. Before this year, the annual cost estimate had been falling since 2015. “The inflation is real. Everybody is saying that. Everybody is feeling it,” said Butterball President and CEO Jay Jandrain. “Whether it’s labor, transportation, packaging materials, energy to fuel the plants — everything costs more.” North Carolina-based Butterball, which supplies around one-third of Thanksgiving turkeys, struggled to attract workers earlier this year, leading to processing delays. While turkeys waited, they grew bigger, adding to already skyrocketing costs for corn and soybean feed. But Jandrain said labor shortages have lessened and the company was able to secure enough trucks to

get its turkeys to grocery stores. So there will be about the same number of whole turkeys as last year, but fewer smaller birds. “The good news about that is everybody loves the after-Thanksgiving leftovers, and they are going to have more of them this year," Jandrain said. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the average wholesale price of an 8- to 16-pound frozen turkey in mid-November was $1.35 per pound, up 21% from a year ago. For other staples, weather conditions compounded labor shortages. Pumpkin crops were smaller due to heavy rains and a fungus in Illinois — a top supplier — and drought in California. In early November, fresh pumpkins were averaging $2.72 per pound, up 5% from a year ago, according to Nielsen IQ. Prices for green beans were up 4% while canned cranberry sauce was up 2.5%. Ryanne Bowyer of Dallas, Texas, usually buys turkey a day or two after Thanksgiving to save money. But this year, she signed up for Ibotta, a receipt-scanner app, which gave her a turkey, potatoes, corn, soup, gravy and cornbread from Walmart — all free — just for signing up. “If that hadn’t come along, the plan was just to go to the woods with my wife and grill wieners,” Bowyer joked. Still, many retailers fac-

ing cost pressures of their own are pulling back on their usual Thanksgiving promotions. In the week before Thanksgiving, the number of U.S. stores offering specials on turkeys was at the lowest level since 2017, said Mark Jordan, the executive director of Leap Market Analytics, which follows the livestock and poultry markets. “There will still be some discounts, but some of the extreme giveaways are going to be fewer and farther between,” Jordan said. Diana Jepsen, a retiree from West Hartford, Connecticut, said she usually pays $1 per pound for her Thanksgiving turkey. This year, her 23-pound Butterball cost $1.50 per pound. But she still thinks that’s a good value, especially compared to the recent price increases she has seen for beef and chicken. Jepsen will celebrate Thanksgiving with 21 family members, including her 96-year-old mother. Her Cuban-American family bastes the turkey in a mojo criollo marinade. Jepsen’s husband, George Jepsen, the former attorney general of Connecticut, cooks the turkey, following his mother-in-law’s recipe. Other staples they serve, including black beans and yucca, haven’t increased in price, she said. Jepsen also got boxed stuffing on sale. “We still think it’s a good bargain to be able to

serve that many people,” she said. Higher turkey prices could persist into 2022, Jandrain said. Feed costs remain elevated, along with labor and transportation costs. That could help the turkey business, however, which for years has faced faltering demand for parts like turkey breasts and deli meat. The industry slaughtered 159 million turkeys in the first nine months of 2021, giving the U.S. its lowest per capita supply of turkey since 1987, Jordan said. Higher prices could encourage farmers to raise and slaughter more turkeys next year. For some shoppers, availability — not price — was the biggest concern this year. Lauren Knapp, an economist in Rochester, New York, bought two frozen turkeys on sale weeks earlier than she might have because she worried about shortages. Knapp and her partner plan to make a practice meal on Thanksgiving and a second meal for relatives in early December. “Friends in D.C. were saying it would be a chicken Thanksgiving because they can’t find turkey anywhere,” said Knapp, who was relieved turkeys were available even though some items she buys, like low-sodium turkey slices for sandwiches, have been harder to come by this year.

Dear Annie: I am an 80year-old female, a widow. I live alone. I have a history of having arthritis, and I can't take medications for arthritis due to having had stomach ulcers. I had a hip replacement in the spring, and I had hoped I would be able to walk without the use of a walker. It is apparent that I am going to need the walker to function. I talked with my orthopedic surgeon. Surgery is not an option. I have scoliosis as well. I have a small walker with three wheels. I keep it in my car for use when I go to the beauty shop and for other short trips. I do need help in getting the walker out of the car. I am able to drive, and when I do, I primarily drive in town. I have always been active, volunteering at hospitals and other civic organizations. It's been difficult to ask for help. I have someone who gets my groceries and who is available to help me in my house. She comes every two

weeks, unless I have a doctor's appointment. I have missed going to church. My children do not live in the same city, so asking for their help is not an option. None of my friends has offered to help. I can't go by myself since I don't have any help to get my walker out of the car. I offered to pick up one friend and give her a ride to church. She said she preferred to take her own car because she liked to go early. She did not offer to give me a ride. I have always been active in church. I can watch religious programs and sermons on TV, but there is a void because of my not being able to attend. Most of my time I spend at home. I do like to read. I took care of my husband for years because he had Parkinson's and dementia. I feel guilty for not going to church. But I am very prideful for not asking for help. I feel left out. I suppose it's a matter of pride for me

Taxing time Every year, mutual funds tally up their gains and losses and pass those along to investors in what’s called a capital-gains distribution. For investors who hold the funds in a taxable account, not in a tax-advantaged account like a 401(k), that can mean a tax bill even if they didn’t sell any shares of the fund. With the S&P 500 soaring nearly 22% so far this year, the potential for big distributions is high. Mutual funds are already giving preliminary estimates of the size of their distributions this year. A review by

Morningstar indicates mutual funds focused on high-growth stocks will likely again pass along distributions this year, as Big Tech stocks continue to soar. But a resurgence for other, formerly beaten-down areas of the market could also mean gains distributions for value stock funds, too. Fidelity’s Contrafund, one of the largest mutual funds by assets that holds both growth and value stocks, said it expects to pass along a distribution worth a little more than 8% of its net asset value next month, for example.

Tax bill due: Another year of big gains for the market, including a bounceback for value stocks, has mutual funds on track to send taxable distributions to shareholders. Annual performance

not to call and ask for help. What are your feelings? - Seeking Your Opinion Dear Seeking Opinion: My opinion is to swallow your pride and ask another friend for a ride to church. You don't have to feel left out anymore. People want to help. There is nothing wrong with asking for help. Look at it this way: When someone helps someone else, they feel good about themselves. So, by you asking someone for help, you are actually helping them feel good about doing something kind. It's a beautiful full circle. Especially with Thanksgiving and the holidays coming up, you are going to want to be with community, and community will want to be with you!

NAP Credits Awarded For Area Projects The Department of Economic Development announced today that it will award $12.6 million in 50% and 70% tax credits through the Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP) to 66 organizations for community development projects statewide, including two projects in north Missouri that receive 70 percent tax credits. The Mercer County Area Development Corporation aims to drive community revitalization and business development in the Mercer County area. The organization will utilize $70,000 in NAP donations to establish a revolving loan fund for physical revitalization of the downtown and small business districts. Livingston County Community Development Corporation will utilize $132,897 in donations received as part of this NAP project for the continuation of the Main Street Chillicothe Program. The program promotes downtown revitalization and economic development, improving the downtown environment through: facade renovation of downtown properties, support of current downtown businesses with a monthly visit, and solicitation of new businesses to the downtown. “Missouri nonprofits provide critical services to citizens and our most vulnerable populations,” Gov. Mike Parson said. “This program supports organizations in their work to provide assistance to Missourians who need it most, which helps ensure our communities remain healthy and strong.” NAP helps nonprofit organizations leverage privatesector funds by providing partial state tax credits to businesses that make contributions to approved community improvement projects. During the Fiscal Year 2022 cycle, tax credits were reserved for organizations providing critical services, with priority given to projects providing job training, education, and those located in previously underserved areas of the state. Other project types include crime prevention, community service projects, and revitalization of community-based buildings and areas. “A strong economy begins with thriving communities, and the Neighborhood Assistance Program is a great example of the public and private sectors collaborating to ensure both,” Missouri Department of Economic Development Acting Director Maggie Kost said. “This program increases the positive impact nonprofits have on their communities, which means increased opportunity and prosperity for all Missourians.”
