Gov. Parson Floats Incentive Program Under 40% Of Missourians Are Vaccinated JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri Gov. Mike Parson's administration floated the idea of a statewide COVID-19 vaccination incentive program and the possibility of a “substantial grand prize” during a meeting of health officials, a newspaper reported. The Kansas City Star said it obtained notes from

a June 25 Zoom meeting of the Missouri Center for Public Health Excellence during which a senior state Department of Health and Senior Services official shared the potential program. The notes from the meeting compiled by the center's secretary said of a potential program: “Will likely start in July. Working with MO state lottery. 3 separate drawing structures.” Consideration of incentives comes as the fastspreading delta variant

ravages rural Missouri. The state has one of the nation’s highest rates of COVID-19 transmission and, according to the CDC, led the nation last week in the proportion of delta variant cases. Less than 40% of Missouri's population has been fully vaccinated and the figure is less than 20% in some rural counties. Asked about incentives this past week, Parson said, “Everything is on the table.” A Parson spokesperson said Friday only that work is continuing on po-

tential incentive options. According to the notes from the June 25 meeting, incentives would involve multiple drawings centered on people vaccinated by certain dates. Educational scholarships for adolescents are also contemplated. “We would be thrilled to see incentives put out by the state,” said Scott Clardy, assistant director of health department in Boone County, who attended the meeting.

The Grundy County Health Department will hold a COVID-19 vaccine clinic on Thursday, July 15 from 2-6 p.m. The clinic will be held at the health department. Appointments are required and can be made by calling the health department at 359-4196. Individuals may also sign up for the clinic online by visiting www.grundychd.org The vaccine at this clinic will be the Pfizer vaccine, which is approved for individual ages 12 and older. The phizer vaccine is a two-dose series with the second dose being given 21 days after the first. The clinic is open to all, and the health dpeartment is encouraging school-age children over 12-years-old to get the vaccine befor school starts back up. According to CDC guidelines, fully vaccinated people do not have to quarantine following exposure if they are not symptomatic. As of now, 25 percent of Grundy County’s population is vaccinated. The county currently has 16 active cases. The total number of cases the county has seen since the onset of the pandemic is 1,252.

Woman Accuses Former Sheriff

BETHANY, Mo. (AP) — A woman has alleged in a civil rights lawsuit that a former northwest Missouri sheriff gave her drugs and sexually assaulted her. The St. Joseph News-Press reports that the claims involve former Harrison County Sheriff Joshua Eckerson. He killed himself last year after a special prosecutor charged him with misdemeanor counts of misuse of official information by a public servant, trespassing and domestic assault. It’s unclear if those charges are related to the lawsuit because the criminal court documents are sealed. The woman is identified only as Jane Doe.

Cam Davis Gets First PGA Victory He Defeats Merritt After Five Playoff Holes In Detroit DETROIT (AP) — Cam Davis holed a 50-foot sand shot on the 71st hole of regulation and that propelled him into a five-hole playoff where he outlasted Troy Merritt and Joaquin Niemann to win the Rocket Mortgage Classic for his first PGA Tour victory. “It’s the only reason I’m sitting here now," Davis said at a news conference alongside the trophy. “To be honest, in my head there wasn’t a thought of trying to hole it." Davis ultimately won when Merritt missed a 6-foot par putt on the fifth playoff hole. Davis missed putts to win on each of the playoff holes, but maintained his composure because he knew good shots set up putts he just missed. The 26-year-old Australian left 6and 18-foot putts high, a 25-foot putt low and a 19-footer high. He misread a break on a 12-foot putt on the fifth playoff hole and settled for a par, then won when Merritt made bogey. “I just tried to put as much out of

my mind as I could and just hit every shot for what it was worth," Davis said. “As simple as that’s said, it’s so hard to do when the pressure’s on like that. I just kept on putting good swings on it. “I guess I didn’t make any putts, but I kept on putting it in play, so it worked out all right." Davis closed with a 5-under 67 to match Merritt (68) and Niemann (68) at 18-under 270 at Detroit Golf Club. Niemann dropped out of the playoff with a bogey on the first extra hole, his first bogey of the week. “It’s hard to be standing here knowing that there is a playoff going on right now," Niemann told reporters. Niemann had a chance to win it on the 72nd hole, but left a 17-foot putt high. “I should have won this tournament, but I mean, it is what it is," Niemann said. “I’m going to go rest next week and try to do my best for the (British) Open and the Olympics." Niemann had two shots that went 569 yards at 17 and he two-putted from 14 feet to take the lead at 18 under, but he quickly had company. Merritt, who was in the final group

with Niemann, made his fourth birdie in a five-hole stretch to share the lead at 17. Davis joined the leaders with the eagle-birdie finish. “I’ve been in some good positions before, but to play the golf that I played coming down the stretch was just awesome," said Davis, who entered the tournament with four top-10 finishes the past two years. The 35-year-old Merritt was shooting for his third PGA Tour win and first since 2018. He has been in contention lately, but has come up just short. “It’s been a nice couple two months, four top-10s, now nice finish this week," he said. “I just hope for that win. We’re knocking on the door." The 22-year-old Niemann shared the second- and third-round lead and was runner-up for the third time, including coming up short in a playoff at the Sentry Tournament of Champions. Last week at the Travelers Championship, Harris English beat Kramer Hickok in an eight-hole playoff that tied the second-longest sudden death in PGA Tour history.

Elliott Wins Road America Hendrick Back On Top, Gets 10th Victory

TRENTON

R-T REPUBLICAN-TIMES 122 E. 8th Street, Trenton, MO 64683 • 660.359.2212 • rtimes@lyn.net

ELKHART LAKE, Wis. (AP) — Even a start near the back of the pack couldn’t prevent Chase Elliott from continuing his uncanny success on road courses. Elliott started in the 34th position but still found a way to win the NASCAR Cup Series at Road America on Sunday to wrap up a playoff spot. The 25-yearold Hendrick Motorsports has seven career Cup Series victories on road courses, putting him in sole possession of third place in NASCAR history. “I really have no idea,” Elliott said about his success on road courses. “I feel like it’s just good cars. Our team as a whole has been good at road courses the whole time too, Kyle (Larson) won at Sonoma. I feel like drivers are only as good as what they have to drive. Fortunately I feel like I've got the best stuff and just got to make it work.” Elliott started so far back because a couple of cautions hampered his qualifying attempts on Sunday morning. It ended up not mattering as Elliott won by 5.705 seconds over Christopher Bell. Busch was third, followed by Kurt Busch and points leader Denny Hamlin. Kyle Busch took a brief lead on a restart on the 46th of 62 laps, but Elliott caught up to him at Turn 11 and had passed him by Turn 12. The restart followed a caution that came when Anthony Alfredo

spun off course. Elliott stayed in front the rest of the way. His only trouble came as he was celebrating his victory. After he's already done one celebratory burnout on the front stretch, Elliott heard fans asking him to do another Elliott said afterward that “I don’t know if I ever felt that much peer pressure in my life to do a burnout.” So Elliott did a second burnout and wrecked his tires in the process. “All these people were chanting ‘Burnout!’ at me,” Elliott said. “I wasn’t going to say no. So I did. I blew the back tires off of it, then ran out of gas and had to have a push." Elliott, the 2020 series champion, gave Hendrick Motorsports its seventh victory in its last eight Cup races. Hendrick had its sixrace winning streak snapped last weekend when Kyle Busch won at Pocono for Joe Gibbs Racing. Hendrick drivers have won 10 of the 20 Cup Series races so far this year. Elliott needs only two more road-course victories to catch Jeff Gordon, who has the record with nine. Tony Stewart won eight Cup Series events on road courses. He already is the first person ever to win Cup Series races on five different road courses: Watkins Glen, Charlotte, Circuit of the Americas, Daytona and Road America. “I think he's a very intelligent race-car driver,” said Elliott's crew chief, Alan Gustafson. “I think that's what puts him in a really good position at road courses, where there's a lot

to process and a lot that goes on. It takes him a bit of time to kind of get that all together and figured out, and then when he does, it's not just a feel. He knows what he's doing. There's a lot of thought and process behind what he does, so it's very repeatable.” NASCAR had three road courses on its Cup Series schedule from 2018 to 2020, and never had more than two in any year before that. This year’s schedule features seven races on road courses. This race also offered good news for Bell, who had his first top-five finish since placing fourth at Richmond in April. “It’s been a trying last two months, but we feel like we’re getting back on track here," Bell said. "There’s no reason why we can’t be running up front every week.” This marked the first time NASCAR has brought its premier series to Road America since Tim Flock won a rainy Grand National race in 1956, and the longawaited return attracted over 100,000 spectators for the entire four-day event. Those fans braved Fourth of July temperatures that reached the 90s. “This is a massive road course, and there were people everywhere around the course,” Elliott said. “It's exciting, man. When we change the schedule up and go to new places, you bring energy and excitement that our series deserves to have. I think we saw that today.” Road America, which opened in 1955, is located on 640 acres about halfway between Milwaukee and Green Bay.

As Employers Struggle To Fill Jobs, Teens Come To The Rescue WASHINGTON (AP) — The owners of restaurants, amusement parks and retail shops, many of them desperate for workers, are sounding an unusual note of gratitude this summer: Thank goodness for teenagers. As the U.S. economy bounds back with unexpected speed from the pandemic recession and customer demand intensifies, high school-age kids are filling jobs that older workers can’t — or won’t. The result is that teens who are willing to bus restaurant tables or serve as waterpark lifeguards are commanding $15, $17 or more an hour, plus bonuses in some instances or money to help pay for school classes. The trend marks a shift from the period after the 2007-2009 Great Recession, when older workers often took such jobs and teens were sometimes squeezed out. The time, an acute labor shortage, especially at restaurants, tourism and entertainment businesses, has made teenage workers highly popular again. “We’re very thankful they are here,’’ says Akash Kapoor, CEO of Curry Up Now. Fifty teenagers are working this summer at his five San Francisco-area Indian street food restaurants, up from only about a dozen last year. “We may not be open if they weren’t here. We need bodies.” The proportion of Americans ages 1619 who are working is higher than it’s been in years: In May, 33.2% of them had jobs, the highest such percentage since 2008. Though the figure dipped to 31.9% in June, the Labor Department reported Friday, that is still higher than it was before the pandemic devastated the economy last spring. At the Cattivella Italian restaurant in Denver, for instance, Harry Hittle, 16, is earning up to $22.50 an hour, including tips, from his job clearing restaurant tables. He’s used the windfall to buy gas and insurance for his car and has splurged on a road bike and an electric guitar. “There’s never been a better time to apply for a job if you’re a teen,” says Mathieu Stevenson, CEO of Snagajob, an online job site for hourly work. Consider the findings of Neeta Fogg, Paul Harrington and Ishwar Khatiwada, researchers at Drexel University’s Center for Labor Markets and Policy who issue an annual forecast for the teenage summer job market. This year, they predict, will be the best summer for teenage lifeguards, ice cream scoopers and sales clerks since 2008; 31.5% of 16- to 19-year-olds will

have jobs. Teenage employment had been on a long slide, leading many analysts to lament the end of summertime jobs that gave teens work experience and a chance to mingle with colleagues and customers from varying backgrounds. In August 1978, 50% of teenagers were working, according to the U.S. Labor Department. Their employment rate hasn’t been that high since. The figure began a long slide in 2000 and fell especially steeply during the Great Recession. The eruption of coronavirus produced a new low: Only 26.3% of teens had jobs last summer, according to the Drexel researchers. The long-term drop in teen employment has reflected both broad economic shifts and personal choices. The U.S. economy includes fewer low-skill, entrylevel jobs — ready-made for teens — than it did in the 1970s and 1980s. And such jobs that do remain have been increasingly likely to be taken by older workers, many of them foreign born. In addition, teens from affluent families, eager to secure admission to top universities, have for years chosen summer academic programs over jobs or have pursued ambitious volunteer work in hopes of distinguishing their applications for college. Others have spent their summers playing competitive sports. This summer, things are rather different. After collapsing last spring, the economy has rebounded much faster than expected. Restaurants, bars, retail shops and amusement parks have been overwhelmed by pent-up demand from consumers who had mostly hunkered down for a year or more. Now, those businesses need employees to handle the influx and are scrambling to find enough. The vaccine rollout was just starting in April and May, when employers typically start hiring for summer. Some of these businesses delayed their hiring decisions, unsure whether or when the economy would fully reopen. Foreign workers, brought in on J-1 work-and-study visas, typically filled many such summer jobs. But President Donald Trump suspended those visas as a coronavirus precaution, and the number of U.S.-issued J-1 visas tumbled 69% in the fiscal 2020 year — to 108,510, from 353,279 the year before. In past years, for example, foreigners visiting the U.S. on visas took filled 180 summer jobs at Big Kahuna’s water park in Destin, Florida. Last year, there were

just three. This year, eight. Desperate to attract local teens, Big Kahuna’s, which is owned by Boomers Parks, is now paying $12 an hour, up from less than $10 an hour in past years. Compounding the labor squeeze, many older Americans have been slow to respond to a record number of job openings. Some have lingering health concerns or trouble arranging or affording child care at a time when schools are transitioning from remote to in-person learning. Other adults may have been discouraged from seeking work because of generous federal unemployment benefits, though many states have dropped these benefits, and they will end nationwide on Sept. 6. So businesses are offering signing bonuses and whatever else they can to hire teens in a hurry. Wendy’s, which relies on teens to salt fries and ring up orders, added a way for applicants to apply for a job through their smartphones. Applicants are screened using artificial intelligence, which gets them to an interview faster than if they uploaded a resume. The idea is to hire them before another employer can. “Speed is critical,” said Randy Pianin, CEO of JAE Restaurant Group, a franchisee that owns 220 Wendy’s locations. As a perk, JAE is offering workers a way to get hold of some of their pay the day after they earn it, Pianin said, instead of having to wait two weeks for a paycheck. Boomers Parks has raised pay at the eight amusement parks it owns and is offering bonuses of up to $50 a week for some teen workers who stay through the summer, CEO Tim Murphy said. With fewer people seemingly willing to take the jobs, Murphy said, competition for workers is fierce. At its Sahara Sam’s water park in West Berlin, New Jersey, the company lowered its minimum working age to 15 from 16 to try to recruit a larger pool of candidates. Johnathon Miller thought he would

need to wait until August, when he turned 16, to start working. But when he heard about a lowered age limit at Sahara Sam’s, he applied — and got the job. He will soon be a lifeguard, watching over the lazy river for $15 an hour, a couple of bucks more an hour than Sahara Sam’s used to pay. “I’m looking forward to working,” said Miller, who lives in Woolwich Township, New Jersey — so much so that he got a friend interested, too: “He was like, ‘Whoa, they are hiring at (age) 15?’ ” At Curry Up Now, the restaurant pays $2 an hour above the minimum wage, which is $15 or more an hour, depending on the Bay Area location. The chain is also offering a fund for teens to pay for classes or books, as well as free Zoom classes on how to manage money. Kapoor concedes that young hires require restaurant training and might not stick around for long. But there are advantages to having teens on staff. They are typically inclined to persuade their friends to work or eat there, giving Curry Up Now a stream of future workers and customers. And they have updated the restaurant’s music, adding more songs from the ’80s and ‘90s as well as tunes from India and the Middle East. All that said, the revival of teen employment might not last. The pre-pandemic trend toward fewer young workers at restaurants and entertainment venues could reassert itself if the economy's labor shortages are eventually resolved. Still, Harrington, director of Drexel’s labor markets center, notes that "employers have moved down the labor queue as the labor supply of adults has become more constrained.’’ If the economic recovery continues to reduce unemployment, and if federal policymakers continue to restrict the influx of low-skilled foreign workers, “then the chances for sustained growth in teen employment rates are good,’’ Harrington said.

Farmer Directs Donation To Community Foundation A Mercer County farmer has directed a $2,500 donation to the Community Foundation of Northwest Missouri, Inc. Shane Michael Cox received the money through Bayer’s America’s Farmers Grow Communities program and sent the funds to the Community Foundation to help the Princeton Ball Association Fund. The Princeton Ball Association Fund’s charitable purpose is the construction, maintenence and continued improvements of the new baseball and softball com-

plex in Princeton. “We are humbled by Mr. Cox’s generosity and are happy to provide support to the Princeton Ball Association,” Community Foundation administrative director Stacey Helfery said. “The new complex will be an asset to the community and its residents.” Last August, farmers entered for a chance to direct a $2,500 Grow Communities donation to a local eligible nonprofit of their choice. Cox was selected as a winner, triggering the donation.

Minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. Theresa Cox gave the treasurer’s report. Bills from budget items are to be paid. The Blessing Box offering will be sent to the office in Indianapolis. After everything is paid, the books will be audited. Janice Stimpson reported sending seven cards to church members in the past month. In old business, it was reported that three young people will be attending church camp at Crowder State Park. In new business, the CWF was discussed and it was voted to disband the organization because of lack of attendance. Individ-

Individual ministries of the CWF will be conducted by the following members: Treasury, Theresa Cox; Bereavement, Waldean Breitenbucher; Blessing Boxes, Sonna Wiggins; Camp, Betty Wimer; Prayer Shawl, Open. Other business was discussed including the schedule of flowers for the sanctuary. The devotion and Blessing Box offering dedication were given by Mrs. Wiggins. She used scripture from John 8:7. The theme was “Throwing Stones” with reflection on the scripture. The Blessing Box offering was based on James 1:17 and Peter 4:10. Prayer ended the devotion. The meeting closed with the CWF Benediction.

ACROSS MISSOURI

Ventilator Shortage As Missouri Virus Hospitalizations Spike MISSION, Kansas (AP) — The number of hospitalized COVID-19 patients jumped by nearly 27% over the Fourth of July weekend in a hardhit area of Missouri where immunization rates are low, leading to a temporary ventilator shortfall and a public call for help from respiratory therapists. The Delta variant, first identified in India, is spreading rapidly, straining hospitals in Springfield and raising fresh fears that the situation could soon grow worse as holiday gatherings seed fresh cases. Missouri leads the nation with the most new cases per capita in the past 14 days. As of Monday, CoxHealth and the city’s other hospital, Mercy Springfield, were treating 213 COVID-19 patients, up from 168 on Friday. As recently as May 24, the two hospitals had just 31 patients. “After what we’ve seen in the last month everyone is just holding their breath, especially after a holiday weekend like this, knowing that there were large gatherings,” said Erik Frederick, the chief administrative officer of Mercy Springfield. Many communities that held off on Fourth of July festivities last year held them this year. Republican Gov. Mike Parson tweeted a picture of himself at a fireworks celebration in the tourist town of Branson, a large crowd behind him. In the surrounding county, just 29.3% of residents have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine shot, state data shows. That is below the state rate of

44.7% and the national rate of 54.7% but not unlike several other southwest Missouri communities. Some have vaccination rates in the teens. Parson last week urged people to get vaccinated. But he has consistently declined to enact restrictions to control the spread of the virus, instead asking residents to take “personal responsibility.” Missouri never had a mask mandate, and Parson signed a law last month placing limits on public health restrictions and barring governments from requiring proof of vaccination to use public facilities and transportation. His communication staff didn't immediately return an email Monday from The Associated Press. Nor did the spokeswoman for the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services. CoxHealth in Springfield has been transferring out four or five patients a day for the past week to 10 days as it tries to bring in more traveling nurses to help, said Ashley Kimberling Casad, vice president of clinical services at the hospital. “Our projections are only showing us continuing to go up,” she said, noting that positivity rates are spiking. “We generally see an increase in hospitalizations about two weeks after big events, so knowing it was the holiday weekend and probably lots of people spent time with family and friends and with our vaccination rates so low, we are going to expect that in two weeks it gets really, really busy.” The situation is complication be-

573-751-2917 NEWS FROM THE SEVENTH DISTRICT Hello 7th District: We have had a pretty busy last few weeks. To start, the Legislative Freshmen Tour made a stop in Chillicothe and I had the privilege to show them around. Big thank you to all of our table hosts and everyone that helped with the tour to make it go as smoothly as it did. On June 24th FFA members from all across our state came to the Capitol to participate in HYPE (Helping Youth Prepare for Excellence) Academy. We had

two from the 7th district: Clara Leaman (Chillicothe) and Colton Roy (Trenton). HYPE participants were able to do mock committee meetings in the following topics: Waterways Infrastructure, Eminent Domain, Resetting the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS), Estate Planning & Taxes and finally Ag Inspections of CAFOS. Due to the work happening in the Capitol, hearing rooms were not available to use for committee meetings. I worked with staff to help secure space to use-this al-

cause the hospital has only about onethird of the 280 traveling nurses it had at the peak of the winter surge and is working through a backlog of patients who deferred routine care during the surge. That means it can't handle as many COVID-19 patients as it once could. Kimberling Casad said traveling nurses are also now harder to come by. “They worked really hard all winter and spring and made good money so they want to take off this summer and get to spend it with their family and have fun, so we have a lot of positions posted for traveling nurses, but we are just having a harder time getting them in," she said. So far, Mercy Springfield has been able to avoid transfers, but the situation worsened so quickly that it ran out of ventilators at one point over the weekend and had to borrow more, said Frederick. “Luckily we got some in before we had another patient come in who required it so we were able to keep moving and have a surplus on hand should we need it, because we escalated ventilators very quickly," he said. “We went from the 30s to the 40s to almost 50 over about 72 hours." In a tweet, he urged any respiratory therapist to “call us.” Frederick said projections show its patient count continuing to climb through early August before the numbers gradually begin to fall slowly through October.

lowed FFA members to experience the Capitol as they debated issues rather than a hotel meeting room. I also served as a Chairperson during the mock testimony. State Representatives and State Senators attempted to let the HYPE academy members participate in as true to life “committee meetings” as possible. I was also able to enjoy lunch with the HYPE participants.

CELEBRATING OUR INDEPENDENCE On July 4, citizens throughout our great nation will join together in celebration of the United States of America’s 245th birthday. As we stand on the brink of another year in the life of our comparatively young nation, I ask everyone to join me in reflecting on how far we have come as an American people and what work remains to be done to ensure our precious freedoms are safeguarded for future generations. Nearly two and a half centuries ago, 56 bold revolutionaries signed their names to the Declaration of Independence, knowingly risking their lives in order to throw off the bonds of tyranny and oppression to assert their freedom. Today, nearly 250 years after that tumultuous summer, the bravery our Founders demonstrated — their willingness to pay the ultimate sacrifice in order to live in a free nation — has continued on through the years in all those who have answered the call to protect and defend our great land. Although the America of today might look different than it did back in 1776, the celebration of our independence is still marked in much

the same way as it has always been, with concerts, parades and grand fireworks. Perhaps most importantly, Independence Day continues to be a day where we, as a united people, come together to reflect on how blessed we are to call “the land of the free” home. As we once again celebrate our independence, surrounded by family and friends, let us take special care to remember the sacrifices and bravery of the individuals who have defended our nation throughout history and who continue to fight for our freedom at home and abroad. I hope you and your loved ones have a very safe, enjoyable and patriotic Independence Day. If you know or see a veteran or a member of our Armed Forces, please thank them for their service. God bless your family, and God bless the United States of America. As always, please feel free to call, email or write with your ideas or concerns.

MO BRIEFS Drowning In Jackson City Park Lake

JACKSON, Mo. (AP) — Officials in southwestern Missouri are investigating after a man drowned in a lake at Jackson City Park over the weekend. Firefighters were already at the park Sunday night to monitor a fireworks show when they were told a man had entered the lake and not come out, Jackson Fire Department Capt. Robert Greif told KFVS. Rescue workers found the 58-year-old man’s body hours later, around 1:30 a.m. Monday. The man’s name had not been released by Tuesday morning.

Missouri officials say at least 17 people drowned or died in boating accidents in Missouri in June, more than during any previous June in the last decade.

3 Shot In Fireworks Altercation

LEMAY, Mo. (AP) — A suburban St. Louis man fired at a group of people shooting off fireworks for the Fourth of July, wounding a 9-year-old boy and two women, authorities say. Twenty-seven-year-old Donald Meek, who lives in the Lemay area, was booked early Monday into the St. Louis County Justice Center on three counts each of second-degree assault and armed criminal action. Bond is set at $200,000, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. Police said Meek brandished a .45-caliber weapon after an argument and minor physical altercation. The victims already were injured when police went to the home in response to a report of fireworks. One of the women and the boy required hospitalization for their injuries; the other woman was treated and released. As of Monday, at least 51 children had been injured or killed by gunfire this year in the St. Louis region.

Sanford Clark, 85, Dies Of COVID

JOPLIN, Mo. (AP) — Rockabilly and country performer Sanford Clark, who had a Top 10 hit with “The Fool” in 1956, has died in a Missouri hospital from COVID-19. He was 85. Clark died Sunday at Mercy Hospital in Joplin, where he had been receiving cancer treatment before he contracted the coronavirus, his publicist and fellow performer Johnny Vallis said Monday. Clark was born on Oct. 24, 1935, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and raised in Phoenix, where he first began performing in the early 1950s. “The Fool” reached No. 7 on the Billboard Top 100. The song was later recorded by several other well-known artists, including Elvis Presley and The Animals. Presley actually recorded the song twice, the first time as part of his personal recordings while he was serving in the Army, then again for professional release in the 1970s, Vallis said. “You can hear that he's trying to emulate Sanford's sound,” Vallis said. “You know, most people I know want to impersonate Elvis, and here Elvis was trying to impersonate him.” Clark recorded several other songs in the 1950s and 1960s that saw minor success before he left the music business to work in construction, though he occasionally recorded in later decades on his own label, Desert Sun Records. Sanford is survived by his wife, Marsha, and several children.

Dear Annie: I come from a big family. I have seven brothers and two sisters, and I'm their third sister. The older five brothers and two sisters are living in a different town, but it is within driving distance of where I live. The younger two brothers, who are twins, live in the same town that I am in. Let's call them "Nick" and "Luke." We are all in our 50s and live within two minutes of one another. Nick and Luke do not get along. They can't even stand to be in the same room. Whenever we are invited to family functions, if Nick shows up first, I have to text Luke and inform him that Nick is here. Luke will only show up after Nick leaves. I love both of my brothers and have made it clear that I will not let one brother talk negatively about the other, but they slip it into the conversation, and I have to shut it down. If I go to lunch with one, then the other one gets

upset. I feel like I don't want to talk to either one right now. -- Stuck in the Middle Dear Stuck in the Middle: You are literally stuck in the middle. Not allowing each brother to say negative things about the other in front of you is a great place to start. The next step would be to see if they can forgive each other or try to talk about why they don't get along. You are all one family. Remind each twin that we don't get to choose our family. They spent nine months together in the womb, and their anger toward each other might simply be on the surface, hiding their intense feelings of closeness that they refuse to acknowledge. I would suggest counseling for yourself to come up with a plan to help Nick and Luke. And don't forget, all those older brothers and sisters might be able to help. Dear Annie: Although I know that "Karen" is used as an example of entitled women, I don't think it was

Etsy goes shopping Etsy, the online marketplace, is going on a shopping spree of its own. In the last month, the company announced it was buying two online stores with the hopes of ers. increasing its number of customers. Etsy said in early June that it n will pay $1.6 billion for Depop, an app popular with young people looking to buy or sell vintage fashions from the early 2000s. ess Etsy said Depop will give it access to millions of Gen Z shoppers s since 90% of Depop’s customers are under the age of 26. The acquisition is Etsy’s biggest everr since its founding in 2005. Three weeks later, New York-based Etsy said it was buying Brazilian site Elo7, which h is

known as the “Etsy of Brazil” and sells handmade goods and other items similar to Etsy. The price tag is $217 million, making it Etsy’s third biggest acquisition after it paid $275 million in 2019 for Reverb, a site tthat sells used guitars, pianos and other musical instruments. Analysts at Citi said they liked the Elo7 deal because it will help Etsy reach more shoppers in Latin America, where it has little exposure. Etsy said both deals are expected to close before September and the companies will be operated as standalone businesses and keep their existing headquarters. Depop is based in London and Elo7 is in Sāo Paulo, Brazil. Etsy’s purchases

necessary for your reader to use it in the customer etiquette column. She could have said a client books an appointment, making the same point without using the name Karen. The message would have been the same. I am not sure why it is OK to use someone's name for a stereotype. My name is Karen, and to me, it is hurtful. -- Karen Dear Karen: You are absolutely right, and I apologize to you and to everyone who has the name Karen who might have been offended. This brings up a larger problem with our polarized politics and social media, where someone designates something, such as a person's name, as being symbolic of something that is bad. This is a form of bullying, and we all need to be aware of it and avoid it. Thank you for writing. "Ask Me Anything: A Year of Advice From Dear Annie" is out now!
