GALT FAIR

The Galt Community Fair was held over the weekend, with children’s games being the highlight of Saturday’s events. Above, children participate in the “backwards/forward” race while at left, they compete in the “shoe scramble.” Other events that were scheduled for the weekend included a parade, musical performances. In addition, Grundy R-5 second graders Ethan Smiley and Anna Neff were crowned the prince and princess of the fair.

A Laredo teenager lost her life in an accident Friday afternoon on a gravel road southeast of that community. Lainie Lewis, a 15-year-old who would have been a sophomore at Grundy R-5 High School this fall, died in an accident that occurred shortly before 3 p.m. on Southeast 60th Street, six miles southeast of Laredo. The Missouri State Highway Patrol investigated the accident, but did not identify Miss Lewis due to her status as a juvenile. Miss Lewis was driving a 1993 Chevrolet pickup truck westbound on Southeast 60th Street when she lost control of the vehicle on the gravel roadway. The truck traveled off the south side of the road, where it struck several small trees and then a large tree. The vehicle then returned to the roadway, where it came to rest blocking the road. Miss Lewis was taken by Grundy County EMS to Wright Memorial Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. According to the accident report, Miss Lewis was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident, which caused extensive damage to the truck. MSHP Sgt. Doug Little investigated the accident, with assistance from the Grundy County Sheriff’s Department, Grundy County EMS and First Responders. Miss Lewis, the daughter of Amy Lewis and Gary Lewis, was active in sports and FFA at Grundy R-5, where her funeral will be held at 10 a.m. Wednesday. A complete obituary can be found on page 10 of today’s RepublicanTimes.

T-C Board OKs Bids

The Tri-County R-7 Board of Education met Thursday, accepting multiple bids and setting the tax rate hearing. Superintendent David Probasco reported that the board accepted bids for bread from Graves, milk from Hiland Dairy and fuel from both Landes Oil and MFA Oil. Board members also accepted a bid from SHI for the purchase of Chromebooks at a cost of $30,718.80 and a proposal from Kramer Contracting to remodel the gym in the high school at a cost of $108,230. In addition, the board approved the employee and student handbooks for the 2021-22 school year and approved increases in the day care rates. Lunch prices were discussed, but with the continuation of the Seamless Summer Option, all students will be allowed free meals. It was agreed to seek bids for a $150,000 certificate of deposit that will mature in August. The budget was discussed, with no action taken and board members set the tax rate hearing for 6 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 19. The next regular meeting will be held at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 11 in the school library.

COVID Bumps Weren’t All The Same Essential Worker Bonus Pay Varied Widely Across States JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — For putting their health on the line during the coronavirus pandemic, prison guards in Missouri got an extra $250 per paycheck. Teachers in Georgia received $1,000 bonuses. And in Vermont, nurses, janitors, retail workers and many others got as much as $2,000.

Over the past year, about one-third of U.S. states have used federal COVID-19 relief aid to reward workers considered essential who dutifully reported to jobs during the pandemic. But who qualified for those bonuses -- and how much they received — varied widely, according to an Associated Press review. While some were paid thousands of dollars, others with similar jobs elsewhere received nothing. As society reopens, momentum to provide pandemic hazard pay appears to be fading — even though the fed-

eral government has broadened the ability of state and local governments to provide retroactive pay under a $350 billion aid package enacted by President Joe Biden in March. So far, only a few states have committed to paying workers extra with money from the American Rescue Plan. Florida is giving $1,000 bonuses to teachers and first-responders. Minnesota plans to distribute $250 million in bonuses to essential workers, though a special panel won't deter[See BONUS, Page 4]

The Gallatin R-5 Board of Education will meet in regular session at 7:30 a.m., Thursday in the high school library. Items on the announced agenda include the superintendent report, finalization of 2020-21 expenditures, the new employee list, MSBA 2021-B policy updates, teacher contract penalty for late resignation, setting the time and date for the tax rate hearing and an executive session to discuss personnel.

CVB To Meet Wednesday

The Trenton Convention and Visitor’s Bureau will meet at noon on Wednesday at city hall. The meeting is open to the public but can also be accessed on Zoom at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83458436332. Items on the announced agenda include policies and procedures and a discussion on the proposal from Johnny Lightening Strikes Again.

COVID Vaccine Clinics

There are two opportunities for area residents to receive the COVID-19 vaccine this week. The Grundy County Health Department will offer the Pfizer vaccine from 2 to 6 p.m. on Thursday at the health department. Appointments are required and can be made by calling 660-359-4196. The Wright Memorial Hospital Physician’s Clinic will offer the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine at a clinc scheduled for Friday, July 16.

ACROSS MISSOURI MO BRIEFS Coaster Re-Opens After Mishap

BRANSON, Mo. (AP) — Missouri inspectors on Friday said it's safe to reopen a roller coaster attraction where an 11-year-old boy was severely injured last month in the tourist town of Branson. Missouri's Division of Fire Safety is still investigating the accident that Aalondo Perry's grandmother has said crushed the Tennessee boy's legs and one arm. Perry, who is visually impaired, fell while getting off of The Branson Coaster, said his grandmother Shelandra Ford. Missouri Department of Public Safety amusement ride experts performed multiple inspections and tests, reviewed procedures and interviewed the ride operator and witnesses of the crash before finding the coaster safe to ride again.

Girl Swept Away By Floodwaters

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A 12-year-old girl died after being swept away Saturday by floodwaters from a storm that hit the St. Louis area. The girl, Alyeya Carter, was riding in a car on Interstate 70 near St. Louis Lambert International Airport on Saturday when the vehicle was swept into a large concrete storm drain, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. Missouri Highway Patrol Cpl. Juston Wheetley said the driver and two other children were able to escape the car. But the 12 year old was swept into the drain. Searchers found her body hours later. The National Weather Service warned there could be more flash flooding through Sunday, most likely in areas north of Interstate 70.

Five Kansas City Officers Charged With Crimes Still On The Job KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Five Kansas City police officers facing criminal charges remain on the job, with four on administrative duty and one still on patrol. Community leaders who have been critical of the Kansas City Police Department say they are particularly angry that a detective charged with manslaughter, Eric DeValkenaere, remains on administrative duty and is being paid, according to the Kansas City Star. “I think it’s despicable,” said Randy Fikki, senior pastor of Unity Southeast, who led several Black Lives Matter demonstrations last summer. Police spokeswoman Capt. Leslie Foreman said department’s policies give supervisors discretion to determine whether to suspend officers and whether that suspension should be paid or unpaid. That is despite a separate policy that says officers charged with a crime related to their use of a department firearm will be suspended, which would apply to DeValkenaere, who is charged in the 2019 shooting

Agents Search For Escapees

ST. ANN, Mo. (AP) — Federal agents on Saturday joined the search for three men who escaped a suburban St. Louis jail Friday. The U.S. Marshals Service is looking for 38-year-old Walter Wilson, 47-year-old Jason William Woolbright and 31-year-old Joshua Brown, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. The men were being held at the St. Ann jail. Wilson and Woolbright have been charged with being felons in possession of firearms. Brown was charged with possession of methamphetamine with the intent to sell it, as well as possession of a firearm to commit a crime. There’s a $2,500 reward for information leading to the men’s capture. U.S. Marshal Sean Mallon said law enforcement is investigating how the men escaped. This isn't the first jail break in St. Ann. A guard mistakenly released the wrong inmate in 2015.

Trial Set For Teaching Assistant

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Trial has been set for a former suburban St. Louis teaching assistant accused of sexually assaulting a 7-year-old student, then conspiring to kill the boy and his mother. Deonte Taylor’s trial was set for Aug. 9 on Thursday after plans for him to plead guilty to charges in the case fell through, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. Taylor is charged with three counts of sodomy, two counts of conspiracy to commit murder and two counts of tampering with a witness in a felony prosecution. Prosecutors have said Taylor, 38, was a teaching assistant with the Hazelwood School District in 2015 when he took the child out of class and sexually assaulted him. Months later, Taylor and his boyfriend conspired to murder the boy and his mother to keep them from testifying against Taylor, investigators said. Prosecutors have said that Taylor's boyfriend, Michael Johnson, gave money to someone he thought was a hitman, but was actually a confidential police informer, to have the boy and his mother killed. Johnson is also charged in the case, which is still pending.

The Trenton Fire Department is seeking volunteer firefighters. Those selected will be trained through the Basic Firefighter course. For more information, call 359-5552.

of Cameron Lamb in Lamb’s backyard following a traffic incident. Officials said that policy requiring suspension when an officer's gun is used is under review. DeValkenaere was suspended with pay after the shooting, but returned to work in January. He is the only one charged in an incident involving a gun. Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas, who serves on the supervisory Board of Kansas City Police Commissioners, said officers charged with felonies should be suspended with pay. But Lucas said the department's policies need to be clarified. “I would think that we need to be consistent with the policies as produced,” Lucas said. “In all situations, to the extent that there is a departure, I find it very troubling. And I would hope, although not be optimistic, that the board would ensure that those policies are being followed.” Some policing experts criticized the decision to keep officers who have been charged on the force. “Criminal charges raise serious concerns about an officer’s fitness to

protect and serve,” said Lauren Bonds, legal director for the National Police Accountability Project. “The chief’s decision to allow officers to continue their employment while charges are pending needlessly exposes communities to abuse and undermines the prosecutor’s decision to pursue an indictment.” Sgt. Matthew Neal was indicted last year on a felony assault charge for allegedly placing his knee on the back of a 15-year-old boy’s neck and forcing the boy’s head into the pavement while in handcuffs. Matthew Brummett and Charles Prichard both face felony assault charges for alleged excessive use of force when they arrested Breona Hill in May 2019. A video showed officers pinning her to the ground and slamming her head into the pavement. Nicholas McQuillen was charged this year with misdemeanor assault for allegedly pepper spraying a teenager at protests last summer. He is the only charged officer still on patrol. All five officers are white. All of the victims in the cases are Black.

Parson Won’t End Emissions Tests In St. Louis Suburbs JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Gov. Mike Parson pumped the brakes Friday on legislation that would have ended a vehicle emissions testing program in counties surrounding St. Louis. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Parson cited the potential loss of $52 million in federal funding when he vetoed the legislation. It called for excluding Franklin, Jefferson and St. Charles counties from vehicle emissions inspections that are mandated by the federal Clean Air

Act. Supporters of the plan said the testing is unpopular in the suburban areas they represent and should be jettisoned. But doing so would have put the state out of compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency, which said in a May letter to the Republican governor that it would strip money that helps build roads and bridges if the state eliminated the inspections. Because of high ozone levels, the

St. Louis region is the only area in Missouri where emissions testing is required. Currently, 30 states and Washington, D.C., require emissions tests in at least some areas, while 17 states require regular safety inspections. Thirteen states require no inspections. In his veto message, Parson said the Department of Natural Resources has already submitted a plan to the EPA requesting the removal of Franklin and Jefferson counties from the testing program.

LOCAL Maloney Has Rotary Program Rob Maloney presented the program to members of the Trenton Rotary Club during their meeting on Thursday, July 8 at the BTC Bank community room. Brian Upton presided at the meeting, Jackie Soptic gave the prayer and Chris Hoffman was the sergeant at arms. Maloney talked about the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy. He said that while Lee Harvey Oswald was the actual shooter, he believes there were other individuals involved in the planning and carrying out of the event. He outlined several events during Kennedy’s presidency that he believes played a key role, including the involvement in the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the fight against organized crime and the administration’s Civil Rights agenda, which he noted was opposed by many in the early 1960s. He said that the Warren Commission, which investigated the assassination, was pressured by President Lyndon Johnson into coming to a “one shooter” conclusion with hopes the Kennedy administration would be forgotten and Johnson

could move forward with his agenda. During the business meeting, it was announced the club’s annual fish fry will be held on Sept. 18. A drive-through event is being planned. Joe McDonald and Megan Derry were recognized as new members and will be installed at a later meeting. KCC Director/NCMC Athletic Director Nate Gamet will present the program at the July 15 meeting. During a meeting of the board prior to the regular meeting, members took care of several items regarding the new year, which began on July 1, including approval to increase dues by $5 to $40 per month. The increase will cover members’ payment to the “Every Rotarian, Every Year” project as well as an increase in meal prices. The increase is effective July 1. Two members were assigned to plan meetings each month throughout the year. Committee chair assignments were made and Savannah Fogel was appointed to fill a board vacancy through June 2022.

mine who qualifies until later this year. This past week, Hawaii Gov. David Ige vetoed a budget provision to pay teachers $2,200 bonuses. The Democratic governor said lawmakers didn't have the authority to tell the state Department of Education how to use the federal money. Some states remain reluctant to enact bonus programs. An Oregon proposal to use federal pandemic aid to provide bonuses of up to $2,000 for essential workers failed to make it into the budget that took effect July 1, despite a union lobbying campaign that included thousands of emails and hundreds of phone calls to lawmakers. The proposal would have covered workers in numerous fields, including education, health care, public safety and transportation. “I don’t think anyone was opposed to it,” said Melissa Unger, executive director of Service Employees International Union Local 503. But “no one prioritized it.” Although states have until the end of 2024 to decide how to spend the latest federal aid, some advocates worry the realistic window for providing worker bo-

nuses may be closing as more parts of society reopen. “Unfortunately, the longer you delay doing it, the less it’s going to be on the top of minds of voters and those policymakers,” said Molly Kinder, a fellow at the nonprofit Brookings Institution who tracks pandemic hazard pay policies. Premium pay is one of just several options provided to states under Biden’s aid package. States also can use the money to backfill budget holes, help businesses and households affected by the economic downturn, fund certain infrastructure projects and pay for public health programs such as COVID-19 testing and vaccinations. Illinois lawmakers used the federal money for dozens of initiatives in the budget that took effect July 1 — from $75,000 for a high school mentoring and violence prevention program to $200 million for hospitals. Nothing was earmarked for extra pandemic pay, even though Illinois had paid it in the past. Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker's administration provided a temporary 12% pay boost last year to nearly 24,000 state workers whose jobs put them at risk of contracting COVID-19. Most of the $62 million cost was covered with federal funds.

ARTS/ENTERTAINMENT

Oliver Stone Revisits JFK Assassination In New Documentary CANNES, France (AP) — Thirty years after “JFK,” Oliver Stone has returned to the assassination of John F. Kennedy, this time in a documentary. “JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass" is a kind of nonfiction addendum to one of Stone's most sensational and controversial films. The documentary, which is to premiere Monday at the Cannes Film Festival, is likely to prompt another round of debate on both the American tragedy and Stone's methods. But for the 74-year-old filmmaker, it was a way to answer his critics and go deeper into a history he's forever linked with. “I was a relative novice when that film came out. I was naïve. I didn’t know that I’d get banged like this and it was hard,” Stone said in an interview. “It became as if I was untrustworthy. In Hollywood, I became labeled a ‘conspiracy theorist’ which I think is a term from a 1952 CIA document — an attempt to discredit people. But people liked the movie. As a movie-movie, it worked.” “JFK” was nominated for eight

Oscars, including best picture, and won two. It grossed more than $200 million. But it was also surrounded by questions about its factuality. “JFK Revisited" has doubts attached to it, too. Several streaming services passed on distributing the film in part over their fact checks. In Cannes, the film has set up international releases in several countries and is seeking a U.S. distributor. The documentary, which has been edited down to around two hours after being twice that, makes no declarations about who killed Kennedy. It pulls in part from millions of government files that have been released in the years since “JFK.” In 2017, President Donald Trump delayed the release of more documents, citing national security. “JFK Revisited” delves deeply into inconsistencies in Kennedy's autopsy, the handling of key pieces of evidence and Lee Harvey Oswald's alleged ties to the CIA. And its deepest suspicions — not unlike “JFK” — lie in the U.S. intelligence services. “I feel the most important is why President Kennedy was killed,” said Stone. "We an-

swered with our evidence that he was going to withdraw from Vietnam. The détente with Cuba was in motion. The nuclear test ban treaty had been signed. He was looking for a détente with Russia. He was an anti-colonialist." Stone, whose films include "Platoon” and “Born on the Fourth of July,” himself fought in Vietnam. “I went in as a hawk. I believed we were doing the right thing,” he said. “Even when I came out of Vietnam, I was not an activist. It takes years to reeducate yourself. And I found out more and more. By the time I made ("JFK"), I didn’t know what I know now. The history of this country is screwed up. We haven’t told it." In films like “Wall Street," “Nixon” and “W.,” Stone has charted — through his own provocative lens — much of the last 50 years of American history in movies that gave politically charged figures splashy bigscreen portraits. But his relationship with both Hollywood and Washington has declined in more recent years. His last fiction film was 2016's “Snowden," a biopic

that depicted Edward Snowden as an American hero. It was painstaking to get funded and little noticed on release. "It kind of broke my spirit," said Stone. His skepticism for American democracy has only increased. “A plutocracy is more accurate,” he said, citing the influence of money in elections. “Democracy is a strange word. It's in question.” At the same time, Stone has been drawn to meeting and documenting some of the world's dictators and strongmen. Stone interviewed Russia's Vladimir Putin at length for a Showtime series that was criticized as fawning. He has done interviews with Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez and Stone is currently prepping a series with the former Kazakhstan leader Nursultan Nazarbayev. “What attracted to me those figures was they are balancing America. American cannot be the sole power in the world. I think Henry Kissinger would agree with me. I think Machiavelli would agree with me," said Stone. “Balance of power is the

only way this world can be free of one control, one tyrant. That’s the real tyrant. America.” “I'm not a bad guy,” Stone added. “And I don't love dictators.” As for Stone's relationship to Hollywood, he said he tries not to think about too much. “I just try to keep going,” Stone said. In Cannes, he also screened a director's cut of “JFK.” But when he considers the kinds of movies that get made today in the U.S., he sees little political inquiry or international perspective. “I find that many American filmmakers would be very good but they deal with crime issues — it’s on TV all the time. They’re great at violence. Except for a few filmmakers, they never go against American foreign policy, which is wrong. That’s wrong.” “America is censoring itself. It’s censoring Facebook, it’s censoring the ex-president. We’re scared. We’re scared of hearing the truth,” Stone continued. “Sometimes you have to hear the Alex Joneses of the world. You have to have different points of view.”

Female Powwow Emcees Make Voices Heard In Mostly Male Field Deanna Rae StandingCloud has jokes. She also has the voice, and the skill. Now, she just needs more opportunities to show it. StandingCloud, Red Lake Nation, from Minneapolis, is one of the few female powwow emcees in a typically male-dominated field. Now that in-person powwows and other social gatherings are coming back after a monthslong pandemic hiatus, StandingCloud is ready for her voice to be heard. StandingCloud and others like Kwe Blomgren want powwow decision makers to know they are available to emcee, Indian Country Today reported. “We have to start having women in these roles, so in our minds, we think, that definitely can be a woman, and it can be,” StandingCloud said. “Women are pretty funny, and some of the funniest people I met are female, so why the heck not?” StandingCloud created a Facebook female powwow emcee group and has nearly a dozen members. She wanted aspiring female powwow emcees to have a

space to connect. Blomgren is one of its members. “Hearing their journeys of celebrations or mini gigs is really inspiring there,” Blomgren said about the group. Blomgren, Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe, periodically posts on her Facebook page that she is a “powwow emcee for hire.” In August 2019, she posted a short Facebook video explaining why she wanted to emcee along with an example of her emcee style. The video was her way to let others know how serious she is. In her post, she wrote: “I’m officially submitting my cowboy hat into the ring. (Aye.) Here is my mock (grand entry) run. I’m not the best or a pro but my heart is fully into this video. I worked hard on it and I’m super proud. I tell my girls to try, try, and fight for what they really want. So here is me fighting for my dream.” The emcee, or master of ceremonies, tends to be a popular yet demanding gig, and most powwows have a two- or three-person rotation or more. The challenge for most emcees is keeping

the crowd engaged and entertained while guiding dancers and singers through the hourslong celebration. It’s also fun and worthwhile, StandingCloud said. Plus the many plates of food all the time, and the ability to come up with words and jokes on the fly, she said. “I think the trick to being an emcee is reading the crowd and being in the moment,” she said. “A lot of the jokes come from improvising. I try to be present, being in the moment and appreciating the celebration itself, and a lot of teasing jokes will come out of that.” She also likes to play off the energy of her co-hosts. “Somebody ends on a perfect beat — I’ll go, ‘Hoo! There you have it, folks,’” she says in a deep voice, stretching out her words. “‘Powwow Saturday night live. We’re here!” StandingCloud enjoys being social and was often found at powwows or events in the Twin Cities area before the pandemic. Her first emcee opportunity wasn’t planned. She was

assisting an emcee a few years back at an area school powwow until it made more sense for her to be on the microphone. The following year, she was invited back to be the lead emcee. Then came her big break. In mid-2019, organizers for Leech Lake Labor Day Powwow asked StandingCloud to co-emcee the celebration. StandingCloud said she was initially anxious about the invite. She was familiar with the powwow and knew it was one of the larger powwows in northern Minnesota. “Inside, I was like, ‘OK, I have to do this because, first of all, nobody ever gets asked this,’’’ StandingCloud recalled. “I didn’t want to because I was nervous and I didn't think I was really good enough, but whatever. I said yes.” A few months after, she had another emcee gig at a Fond du Lac Band powwow near Lake Superior. Emceeing was getting easier, and StandingCloud was getting comfortable. Then the pandemic hit. More recently, StandingCloud was the virtual emcee for the MN Connect

Powwow and an in-person emcee at the Red Lake Nation College graduation and mini powwow. “I’m just excited for COVID to be something that is behind us so we can all come back together and have a powwow,” StandingCloud said. “I miss the sounds, smells, sounds of bells, everything. It’s just a nostalgic feeling. It’s a very vivid experience for a lot of our people, and it’s one of the things that probably healed us as Native people.” A few years ago during a Minnesota summer, Blomgren was enjoying a powwow on her Leech Lake homelands when her goal was to be in the emcee stand.

She came close. She emceed community events and gatherings. After her Facebook video, Blomgren had a few local powwow emcee gigs lined up, but they were unfortunately canceled because of the pandemic. “I’m definitely ready,” Blomgren said. “When the world is healthy, I’m ready” Her confidence comes from positive feedback from her family and community, including from elders. Her dream is to one day emcee at the Gathering of Nations in New Mexico. “I want lady emcees to be the norm, and I want us to start hearing us at celebrations and seeing us do big things.”

Dear Annie: I believe the most valuable lesson my father instilled in me was to do one good deed every day. He always told my sisters and me that we would have a truly meaningful life if we practiced that. He didn't give us everything we asked for, but he did encourage us to share some of our toys, books and more with other neighborhood kids in need. I remember Dad worked a full-time job and helped my mother with housework, but he would always take time to give someone a lift, mow a lawn or help a farmer with chores (my father loved farming). Thank you, Dad. I still follow your good example every day. -- Your Loving Daughter Dear Loving Daughter: Your father sounds like a wonderful man. A truly happy life is not about one big life event that happens; it is about living each day to the fullest, and the best way to do that is to do good for others. Thank you for shar-

ing your father's wisdom and example. Dear Annie: I was married for 28 years to a man who was incredibly emotionally abusive. He came and went as if our home were a hotel, and he cheated on me with other women. It took me a long time to "find the door" to leave, but I got a master's degree while going to school at night and got a teaching job, which allowed me the independence to leave. Besides being abusive, he would use our money for himself. He bought cars and other items while we struggled with basic needs. Fast forward 20 years. I am now retired, but I struggle with trust in relationships, and I am experiencing some posttraumatic stress disorder. However, I am proud to have moved on and am doing my best. My ex remarried, and his second wife left him for basically the same reasons I did. I have never remarried. As of July, he is on his third wife. My children are

having their children call her "Grandma." I am brokenhearted. My grandchildren will not be able to differentiate between this new wife and me. After I raised them in such adverse circumstances, they do not care how I feel. I have asked them to call her by her first name or another nickname. They care more about her feelings than mine. Should brand-new stepgrandparents be called "Grandma"? Additionally, some of them live in the same town, while I have retired to another state. I am seriously brokenhearted. -Sad Grandma Dear Sad Grandma: Everyone reading your letter feels your pain. You have every right to be sad about this situation. Your children have taken their father's side in this, possibly out of fear. The good news is that wife number three will probably not last, and the whole family knows who the real grandma is. Tell your children how much this hurts you, but also stress that you love them and your grandchildren and nothing should interfere with that. In the long run, nothing will.

Restaurant revival Americans are eating out again. Yelp says it sat 3.7 million diners through its reservation system in May. That was an all-time monthly high for the company, and a 48% increase from May 2019. It’s another sign of robust demand as the pandemic eases. According to the National Restaurant Association, U.S. restaurants and bars reported total sales of $67.3 billion in May, well above the pre-pandemic total of $66.2 billion in February 2020. Yelp says the number of diners seated in May surpassed pre-pandemic levels in nearly every state, with Wyoming and

Nevada seeing some of the biggest gains. Alaska — hurt by the lack of cruise passengers — was among the few states that didn’t see dining reservations return to pre-pandemic levels. San Francisco-based Yelp says U.S. restaurant reservations plunged in the spring and fall of 2020 as restaurants closed or limited seating and diners stayed home. Yelp reported a loss of $19 million in 2020. But restaurant reopenings spiked in April as big states like Texas lifted pandemic restrictions. Yelp counted 16,404 reopenings that month, the highest number in a year.

Percent change in diners seated through Yelp, compared to May 2019 60%
