Tornadoes Rip A Trail Across The Midwest Devastated Communities Are Without Heat, Water In Wake Of Storm MAYFIELD, Ky. (AP) — Residents of a Kentucky town devastated by a tornado could be without heat, water and electricity in chilly temperatures for a long time, the mayor warned Monday, as officials struggled to restore services after a swarm of twisters leveled neighborhoods and killed dozens of people in five states. Authorities are still tallying the devastation from Friday night's storms, though they believe the death toll will be lower than initially feared since it appeared many more people escaped a candle factory in Mayfield, Kentucky, than first thought. “This is a tough morning ... but it’s ok, we’re still going to be all right,” Mayfield Mayor Kathy Stewart O’Nan said on ”CBS Mornings." But those who survived faced highs in the 50s and a low below freezing Monday without any utilities. “Our infrastructure is so damaged. We have no running water. Our water tower was lost. Our wastewater management was lost, and there’s no natural gas to the city. So we have nothing to rely on there,” she told CBS. “So that is purely survival at this point for so many of our people.” Across the state, about 26,000 homes and businesses were without electricity, according to power-

outage.us, including nearly all of those in Mayfield. Kentucky was the worst-hit by far in the cluster of twisters across several states, remarkable because they came at a time of year when cold weather normally limits tornadoes. At least 64 people died in the state, Gov. Andy Beshear said Monday. There were at least

another 14 deaths in Illinois, Tennessee, Arkansas and Missouri. Authorities are still trying to pin down the full death toll, and the storms made door-to-door searches impossible in some places. “There are no doors,” said Beshear. “We’re going to have over 1,000 homes that are gone, just gone,” he said.

Over the weekend, Beshear had said that the state’s toll could exceed 100 — but he scaled that back after it appeared fewer people died in the candle factory than first thought. Initially as many as 70 people were feared dead in the factory, but the company said Sunday that [See TORNADO, Page 5]

The Trenton community, including FFA members and Boy Scouts, came out Saturday morning to help plant nearly 10,000 willow stems on the bank of the Thompson River, west of Trenton. Project coordinator Chris Hoffman said the hope is that the willows will provide extra stabilization and erosion control following the recent bank stabilization project near the Highway 6 Bridge.

HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLING

Trenton Wrestlers Power Past South Harrison, Hamilton Johnson Gets Big Decision, Clark Picks Up A Pair Of Pins TRENTON 50 SOUTH HARRISON 30 TRENTON 57 HAMILTON 24 Another night, another dominating effort from the Trenton High School wrestling team. Thursday night in Hamilton, Trenton pushed its dual record to 3-0 on the year, sweeping South Harrison and the host Hornets in a triangular. Trenton took the dual with South Harrison 50-30 before winning 57-24 against Hamilton. Trenton spotted South Harrison 12 points right out of the gate as the dual started at 113 where Trenton was open and the Bulldogs were without Trusten Streett at 120 meaning South Harrison got back-to-back wins by forfeit. Things changed when the action on the mat began, however. Trenton reeled off wins in the first four matches on the mat and got wins by forfeit of its own at 152 and 160. Mason Rongey won by a 12-6 decision at 126 to get the Bulldogs on the board and Brayden Hughs followed with a 17-1 technical fall victory. Hunter McAtee (138) and Gavin Chambers (145) each picked up wins by fall in under a minute. The barrage built a 32-12 lead before South Harrison got the first of its only three wins on the mat. Nate Burkeybile was pinned at 170 and Brayden Wiggins lost by fall as well at 182. Sam Gibson and Caleb Johnson restored the order with wins by fall at 195 and 220 respectively. Gavin Cagle was pinned at 285, but that wasn’t going to impact the dual as Trenton had a win by forfeit in hand to close the dual at 106.

MASON RONGEY looks for a pin against South Harrison’s Braxton Magee during a dual between the Bulldog teams in Hamilton on Thursday. Rongey won the match by a 12-6 decision and followed it up with a win by fall over Hamilton’s Tyler Thompson in Trenton’s second dual of the triangular event.

Trenton gave up points to start the Hamilton dual as well as that contest opened at 120 where the Bulldogs were open. Rongey erased the deficit at 126, picking up his second win of the night, this one by fall in the second period. Hughs (132), McAtee (138), Chambers (145) Coleman Griffin (152), and Michael Nyakoojo (160) all followed with wins by fall and Hamilton was open at 170, 182 and 195, giving Trenton nine-straight six-point decisions. With the dual in hand at 54-6, Trentons’ Caleb Johnson stepped on the mat to face Hamilton’s Fisher Nixdorf in the marquee match-up of the evening. The bout lived up to the hype as Johnson came away with a narrow 3-2 decision victory.

AVERY CLARK throws South Harrison’s Laila Booher. Clark wrestled up at 149 pounds for the bout and won by fall in the third period. Clark also won by fall against a Hamilton opponent back down at her regular weight at 141.

“Caleb wrestled a very smart match and timed his takedowns very well,” Trenton head coach Charlie Bacon said. “This could easily be a match we might see in the state finals. Caleb controlled the entire match. It was an absolute blast to watch.” Cagle (285) and Trakor Hignutt (106) were both pinned and Trenton was open at the final weight of the dual, 113, giving the Hornets a handful of meaningless points at the end. Trenton will have most of next week off before getting back into tournament action at the Battle on the Katy Trail in Sedalia. The two-day tournament gets under way on Friday before concluding on Saturday. GIRLS Trenton’s girls wrestling team came away with a pair of wins at the triangular, defeating South Harrison and Hamilton by twin scores of 18-12. Against South Harrison, Avery Clark (149) bumped up a weight class to get a match and picked up a third-period pin. Mercy Schweizer (120) was pinned in the only other match on the mat in the dual. Trenton got two other wins coming by forfeit while South Harrison picked up just one win by forfeit. Against Hamilton, Clark made it a 2-for-2 night, picking up another win by fall, this one coming in the second period and at her regular weight — 141 pounds. Schweizer went up a weight class, wrestling at 125 and was pinned by a Hamilton opponent in the first period. Again, Trenton won two matches by forfeit while Hamilton got just one, swinging the dual in the Bulldogs’ favor. Trenton’s girls moved to 2-1 in dual matches with the two victories. Trenton’s girls team will be in Eldon on Friday and Saturday, competing in the two-day Eldon Girls Christmas Tournament.

Tough Night For Bulldogs Trenton Teams Done In At Home By Chillicothe CHILLICOTHE 48 TRENTON GIRLS 25 CHILLICOTHE 75 TRENTON BOYS 35 It was not a pretty night for the home squads as the

Trenton Bulldogs played host to Chillicothe on Friday. Trenton was handed a 48-25 loss in the girls game while the boys were dealt a 75-35 loss. For the girls, Trenton had nothing going offensively outside of Mirena King, who had a career night, scoring 25 points. Unfortunately, those were the only points any player

in a Trenton uniform would gather. The Bulldogs were able to slow down an undefeated Chillicothe squad on the defensive end. “I thought we competed and defended at a high level against one of the best teams around,” Trenton head coach Kameron Cool said. “We came into this game with a great mindset. We made Chillicothe uncomfortable and rarely gave them their first option. I’m proud of the girls for working so hard against a tough opponent.” The loss dropped Trenton to 2-5 overall. Trenton’s boys, meanwhile, saw their chances of a victory disappear in the first quarter. Chillicothe raced out to a 32-5 lead in the opening eight minutes before easing up significantly in the final three quarters. The Hornets would outscore Trenton in those three frames as well, however, taking the game by the 40-point margin. Kiefer Tolson led Trenton with 15 points while Bradyn Sager added seven points and three steals. Trenton also got four points from Maverick Sole, three from Keegan Brown and

two each from Trevor Murphy, Hunter Smith and Gabe Novak. NO. PLATTE BOYS 51 TRENTON BOYS 47 On Saturday morning, Trenton traveled to Dearborn to take on North Platte in a boys-only match-up. Trenton was much closer to the host Panthers, but was unable to reverse its fortunes from the previous night, falling by four

points. Novak had 16 points and four assists to lead Trenton in this game while Seth Doolittle followed with 10 points and 14 rebounds. Tolson added eight points and Sole and Sager tallied five points each with Sole handing out four assists. Three points from Dylan Spencer rounded out the Trenton total. With the two losses,

Trenton remained winless on the season, slipping to 0-7 overall. UP NEXT The two Trenton teams will get their first taste of Grand River Conference play tonight as they open the league season with home match-ups against the Princeton Tigers. Action tips off at 6 p.m. with the girls game and the boys contest will follow.

Chiefs Roll To Record-Setting 48-9 Victory Kansas City Hammers Raiders, Moves To 9-4 Overall On The Year KANSAS CITY 48 LAS VEGAS 9 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Las Vegas Raiders were last seen in Kansas City taking a victory lap around Arrowhead Stadium in their team buses, and they decided it was wise to stomp on the Chiefs’ logo at midfield shortly before kickoff Sunday. They probably regret both of those ideas. Patrick Mahomes threw his first two touchdown passes in nearly a month, Clyde EdwardsHelaire added two more scores on the ground, and the Chiefs’ suddenly stingy defense forced five turnovers in rolling to a record-setting 48-9 victory over the Raiders that kept them comfortably atop the AFC West. “You don’t want people coming into your stadium and trying to disrespect things you’ve built,” Mahomes said. “So for us, there was a little more motivation to go against a really good football team that we have a rivalry against.” Derek Gore’s 51-yard TD run with 7:19 left in the fourth quarter

allowed Kansas City (9-4) to eclipse the largest margin of victory in a series that began in 1960 and has been played 126 times. The previous record was 35 points in 1964. Tyrann Mathieu had an interception and fumble recovery, Mike Hughes forced two fumbles and returned another 23 yards for a touchdown, and the reigning AFC champions built a 35-0 firsthalf lead before cruising to their sixth consecutive win. They’ve won eight of their last nine against the Raiders (6-7), outscoring them 89-23 in two meetings this season. “I think everybody was clicking,” said Chiefs coach Andy Reid, who improved to 15-3 against the Raiders. “The neat part is we have a chance to be even better. We just have to keep the foot on the pedal as we go.” Reid also joined Marty Schottenheimer and Hank Stram as the only coaches to win 100 games in Kansas City. Derek Carr had 266 yards passing, much of it going to Hunter Renfrow, who caught 13 of 14 targets for 117 yards and a score. But Renfrow also had one of the Raiders’ four fumbles, as did Josh Jacobs, who was held to 24 yards rushing. “I don’t have a lot of words for it,” Raiders coach Rich Bissacia

said. “It started with a fumble the first play of the game. As it went on, we missed more and more tackles. We had more dropped passes. Penalties on defense, gave up explosive plays. Struggled to protect the quarterback. Struggled to run the football. And on top of that, missed a PAT.” Indeed, the Kansas City dominance began with the game’s first play, when Jacobs was shoved back about 3 yards and lost the ball in the process. Hughes alertly picked it up and waltzed 23 yards to give the Chiefs a 7-0 lead. The real onslaught began a few minutes later. Mahomes capped a five-play, 80-yard drive with a 23-yard pass to Darrel Williams, the first touchdown pass thrown by him since the last of his five in midNovember in Las Vegas. After a quick punt, he marched the Chiefs another 80 yards in seven plays, and Edwards-Helaire scooted into the end zone to make it 21-0. Then the Chiefs’ nominee for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award got into the act. Mathieu was there to pick off Carr when his pass slipped through Foster Moreau’s hands, and the Chiefs needed a mere nine plays before Mahomes hit Josh Gordon in the end zone. It

was the first TD scored by the oft-troubled wide receiver since Sept. 8, 2019, when he caught a pass from Tom Brady for New England in a game against Pittsburgh. On the next drive, Mathieu was in the right spot when Renfrow coughed up the ball for the Raiders’ third turnover of the first half. The Chiefs breezed downfield again and Edwards-Helaire’s second TD run made it 35-0, putting the game out of reach before the teams even hit the halftime locker room. After that, it was a matter of the Chiefs driving home a simple point: Don’t disrespect us in our house. The Raiders took a celebratory victory lap in their buses after a win at Kansas City last season, and then there was Sunday’s gesture before the game. “I would have been upset, too, if I was them,” said Raiders linebacker K.J. Wright, adding the pregame huddle at midfield was a spur-of-the-moment idea. “They responded to their anger. We didn’t respond when they did that.” BLOWN CALL The Chiefs should have had another scoop-and-score by Armani Watts midway through the fourth quarter, when Carr was clocked from behind by Alex Okafor. The ball came loose but

the officials whistled that Carr was down. Referee Brad Allen sheepishly reversed the call after a video review, but it still cost Kansas City a touchdown. THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS Chiefs CB L’Jarius Sneed remained in his hometown of Minden, Louisiana, after his oldest brother was killed in a stabbing Friday night. T’Qarontarion Harris was 32. With both of Sneed’s parents in prison, Harris was largely responsible for raising him as a child. Sneed had played more snaps this season than any other Chiefs defensive player. “He’s on my mind a lot,” Mathieu said. “Most of us can relate to that, losing people. We just wanted to play well for him today, for his family. I thought we did that. We started the game with a little L’Jarius energy and we kept that going.” INJURIES Raiders: CB Trayvon Mullen was helped off the field in the third quarter. He’d been out since Week 4 with a toe injury. Chiefs: CB Rashad Fenton (knee) was active but did not play in anticipation of a short week before facing the Chargers. UP NEXT The Raiders visit the Browns on Saturday. The Chiefs visit Los Angeles on Thursday night.

Doug was born on Aug. 4, 1945, in Kirksville, the son of Noah Jerry and Dorva Lucille Turner Lair. In 1953, the family moved to the Kansas City area. Doug graduated from North Kansas City High School in 1963. In high school, he played football, worked at the Red X Grocery Store and pumped gas at a local gas station. After high school, Doug enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, serving from 1963 to 1966, including two years in Vietnam. After returning from the Marines, Doug worked for the Federal Reserve Bank and took college extension classes through Central Missouri State University. Later in his life, he also took college classes at Trenton Junior College in Trenton. He worked for TWA until 1970 and then

Tornado • From Front Page •

eight deaths were confirmed and eight remained missing, while more than 90 others had been located. “Many of the employees were gathered in the tornado shelter and after the storm was over they left the plant and went to their homes,” said Bob Ferguson, a spokesman for the company. “With the power out and no landline they were hard to reach initially. We’re hoping to find more of those eight unaccounted as we try their home residences.” Debris from destroyed buildings and shredded trees covered the ground in Mayfield, a city of about 10,000 in western Kentucky. Twisted sheet metal, downed power lines and wrecked vehicles lined the streets. Windows were blown out and roofs torn off the buildings that were still standing. Firefighters in the town had to rip the doors off the fire station to get vehicles out, according to Fire Chief Jeremy Creason on “CBS Mornings.” “Words cannot describe the bravery, the selflessness that they’ve exhibited,” he said of his employees. “We had to try and navigate through all the debris up and down our streets. We were responding with ambulances with three and four flat tires.” Downtown churches were heavily damaged or destroyed. The Rev. Joey Reed of First United Methodist Church told CBS that he was able to hold a worship service Sunday with a colleague at a different church after the tornado ripped through his. He said he and his wife were in the church as a wall collapsed and the ceiling caved in. “Thanks be to God that the parts of the building that came down didn’t come down on us,” he said. At the candle factory, night-shift workers were in

the middle of the holiday rush when the word went out to seek shelter. For Autumn Kirks, that meant tossing aside wax and fragrance buckets to make an improvised safe place. She glanced away from her boyfriend, Lannis Ward, who was about 10 feet (3 meters) away at the time. Suddenly, she saw sky and lightning where a wall had been, and Ward had vanished. “I remember taking my eyes off of him for a second, and then he was gone,” Kirks said. Later in the day, she got the terrible news — that Ward had been killed in the storm. Four twisters hit Kentucky in all, including one with an extraordinarily long path of about 200 miles (322 kilometers), authorities said. In addition to the deaths in Kentucky, the tornadoes also killed at least six people in Illinois, where an Amazon distribution center in Edwardsville was hit; four in Tennessee; two in Arkansas, where a nursing home was destroyed and the governor said workers shielded residents with their own bodies; and two in Missouri. Pope Francis expressed his sadness over the “devastating impact” of the tornadoes. In a telegram sent Monday by Vatican secretary of state, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the pope offered prayers for those who died, “comfort to those who mourn their loss and strength to all those affected by this immense tragedy.” At a Sunday service held in a church parking lot surrounded by rubble in Mayfield, residents came together to pray for those lost. “Our little town will never be the same, but we’re resilient,” Laura McClendon said. “We’ll get there, but it’s going to take a long time.”

Rotarians Hear From WMH Foundation At Dec. 9 Meeting The Wright Memorial Hospital Foundation was the topic of a program presented to members of the Trenton Rotary Club at their weekly meeting on Thursday, Dec. 9 at the BTC Bank community room. Brian Upton presided at the meeting, Dan Wilford gave the prayer and Dr. Lenny Klaver was the sergeant at arms. Foundation Director Dave Bain told about the foundation, which was founded in 2005 and has funded several projects to benefit Wright Memorial Hospital. There are 12 members of the board. Events are held throughout the year to raise money for projects, such as the walking trail and the purchase of various pieces of equipment. A recent donation from the family of Virgil and Susanne Walden allowed for construction of a storage building and a recent online auction netted $10,000, which is being used for the oncology nurse navigator program at WMH as well as other foundation-related initiatives. The Don Woodard

family also recently donated a cardio rehab machine. The current project involves funding for “healing touch” statues in honor of the nursing staff, who Bain said goes “above and beyond” in their dedication to medicine and the treatment of patients. He also recognized volunteers Gary and Joyce Schuett, who take care of the grounds around the hospital, with an emphasis on the walking trail, as well as Venna Hicks and members of the WMH Ladies Auxiliary. During the business meeting, sign up sheets were distributed for members to volunteer as bellringers for the Salvation Army as well as working at Holiday Hoops on Dec. 18. The club will hold its next meeting on Dec. 16, with Dave Bain and Tara Walker as the program chairmen. There will be no meeting on Dec. 23 due to the Christmas holiday.

The items will also be restocked by the NCMC class throughout the year. The items are available to all WMH infusion patients, but the donation was made in honor of current WMH infusion patient Ashley Lamma.

LOCAL HIGHLIGHTS WITH HEGEMAN 12th District State Sen. Dan Hegeman Room 332, State Capitol Jefferson City, MO 65101 Phone: 573-751-1415 dan.hegeman@senate.mo.gov

LETTING MISSOURIANS DECIDE WHAT IS BEST Since the outset of the coronavirus pandemic last year, there has been a number of cities and counties throughout our country that have made tough decisions intended to protect the health of the residents of their communities. While I realize these actions have been taken out of an abundance of caution, we have seen a number of businesses close, along with people losing employment because of these actions.

Here in Missouri, the Legislature has worked to find ways to allow communities to continue to have the ability to issue such mandates, but with the understanding they are meant to be short-term solutions. This lets local officials continue to do what is right for their own communities without bankrupting business owners and unknowingly putting people out of work. Recently, our attorney general began actively seeking out school districts, and other local entities, that continue to impose mask mandates and quarantine rules. This is being done because of a Cole County judge’s ruling that says such mandates are unconstitutional. In my opinion, both the court ruling and the attorney general’s diligence point to a new vision of quarantine and mask rules. After more than a year of guidance from health care

professionals, we are starting to live in “the COVID world.” In other words, I think most of us have learned how to navigate our lives during the pandemic, and take the necessary safety precautions to keep ourselves and those around us safe. Yes, it is imperative to “follow the science,” but it also important to realize we cannot be kept safe from everything. We cannot live in a bubble and be protected by the government at all times. Instead, we take the information we have and live our lives the best way we can. We have to trust in God, as well as our friends and neighbors, in order to continue to live our lives in the best way possible. This does not mean to be reckless with our actions during the remaining days of the pandemic, but the judge’s order reminds us we have the freedom to live our own lives how we best see fit. 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.

Extension Notes by University of Missouri Extension PLAN NOW FOR ANTIBIOTIC CHANGES ON THE HORIZON Shawn Deering MU Extension Livestock Specialist In 2023, antibiotics that are currently available over the counter will require a veterinarian’s prescription. While 2023 might seem like a long way off, it is not too early for livestock producers to think about how recent Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidance might affect their operations, says University of Missouri Extension veterinarian Dr. Craig Payne. On June 11, the FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine Published Guidance for Industry No. 263 (GFI #263) in the Federal Register. The document outlines a strategy and timeline for bringing all medically important antibiotics that are currently available over the counter under veterinary oversight. This will affect several products familiar to livestock producers. If you have a valid veterinarian-client-patient relationship (VCPR), the impact will be minimal because a veterinarian will be able to issue a prescription for these antibiotics. If you do not have a VCPR, now is the time to

find a veterinarian that is willing to work with you to ensure future access to antibiotics. Under a VCPR, a veterinarian must have sufficient knowledge of your operation to make medical judgements. It also means that you must follow the veterinarian’s instructions. In 2017, many antibiotics used in the feed or drinking water of livestock moved from over the counter status to requiring a Veterinary Feed Directive or prescription. However, a small percentage remained available over the counter in other forms, such as injectables, intramammary tubes and boluses. GFI #263 specifically addresses this small percentage. The FDA expects the labels of these remaining over the counter antibiotics to display the following language bye June 11, 2023: “Caution: federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian.” Dr. Payne says, “This will end over the counter sales of antibiotics, and livestock producers will need a prescription from a veterinarian in the future if they want access to antibio-

tics.” He emphasizes that antibiotics won’t necessarily have to be purchased through a veterinarian, but a prescription will be required. GFI #263 is available at www.fda.gov/media/130610/ download . Examples of Affected Products: Cephapirin, cephapirin benzathine Intramammary tubes: ToDAY and ToMORROW Gentamicin Injectables: Garasol, Gentamicin Piglet Injection Lincomycin Injectables: Lincomix 100, Lincomix 300, LincoMed 100, LincoMed 300 Oxytetracycline Injectables: Liquamycin LA-200, Noromycin 300 LA, Bio-Mycin 200, Agrimycin 200, etc. Boluses: Terramycin Scours Tablets, OXY 500 Calf Boluses Penicillan G procaine, penicillin G benzathine Injectables: Penicillin Injectable, Dura-Pen, ProPen-G, Combi-Pen 48, etc. Intramammary Tubes: Masti-Clear, Go-dry, Albadry Plus Sulfadimethoxine, sulfamethazine Injectables: Di-Methox 40%, SulfMed 40% Boluses: Albon, Sustain III Cattle and Calf Boluses, Supra Sulfa III Cattle and Calf Boluses Tylosin Injectables: Tylan 50, Tylan 200

Dear Annie: Last weekend, I got a text from my dad that said: "I'm going vegan LOL." (Yes, he says "LOL." He's hip like that.) I laughed and brushed it aside, but during dinner last night, he and my stepmom told me they are serious about it. It definitely took me by surprise, but I was supportive and excited about the idea, so much so that I even went with him to Barnes & Noble to pick out an awesome vegan cookbook. But since then, I've been having a strangely emotional reaction to his decision. We love to eat. That's our "thing." We go out to dinner, try new, unusual cuisines and eat our way through new cities when traveling. He even seriously considered taking a leave from work to audition for a Food Network show. Some of my best memories involve meals we've shared. And now what? I'll order sashimi, and he'll have ... seaweed? I have no issue with the decision itself; I've done every juice

cleanse and 30-day challenge under the sun -- and I love me some seaweed. I actually find the choice quite admirable. What I realized is that the child in me is afraid that a piece of our relationship will be lost. Through my parents' (nasty) divorce, no matter how things were between them or between us - no matter when new people came into the picture and old people left -whenever we sat down at the table, all of the yuckiness melted away. This feels like one more thread of consistency and connection being cut. Are there any actions you suggest I take to move forward? -- Herbivore Dilemma Dear Herbivore Dilemma: You are clearly a thoughtful person to have such insight into your emotions and their roots. Perhaps this is the opportunity you've needed to express some long-held feelings. Talking through these concerns will bring you closer than ever. And with time,

you'll find out that it was never about the food; it was about sitting down together. Dear Annie: I have a weird question for you. I live in a Midwestern community that has expensive water and sewer costs. I also exercise every day, and as a result, I drink a lot of water -- and I mean a lot of water. So when my wife is not home, I urinate in the bathroom sink. Then I wash my hands, which rinses the sink basin at the same time. This uses a fraction of the water that flushing the toilet would use. Multiply that by dozens of times a day and the savings are significant. Urine is sterile; the sink gets washed out afterward; and my hands are clean. What are your thoughts on my actions? -Sink Secret Dear Sink Secret: I think you ought to knock it off. For one, urine isn't sterile; that's just a myth. For another, if you're really bent on saving water, there are plenty of ways to do so -- such as installing a lowflush toilet -- that don't require lying to your wife.

Wanted: Jobs, workers And while employers advertised near-record 11 million job postings in October, the economy is still 3.9 million jobs short of pre-pandemic levels. “The biggest problem for the labor market right now is too few workers,” said PNC Chief Economist Gus Faucher, noting that there are about 2.5 million fewer people in the labor force now than before the pandemic. While there was a big increase in the labor force in November, Faucher says more is needed. “Continued growth in the labor force will be important for job creation in 2022,” Faucher said.

Most government figures suggest the U.S. jobs market is the healthiest it’s been since the coronavirus hit a year-and-a-half ago. But certain data show it’s still not back to where it was in February of 2020. At 4.2%, the unemployment rate is at its lowest since the pandemic struck. But only 210,000 jobs were added in November, less than half what economists were expecting. Jobless claims fell to 184,000 last week, the lowest level in 52 years. However, removing the seasonal volatility adjustment, claims actually rose.
