The band “Deadwood” performed Saturday afternoon as part of the Five Points Festival, held in downtown Trenton. The Five Points Festival brought a large number of community members to the area, where other entertainers, a cornhole tournament, games, the “Art on a Line” contest and vendors provided a great way to spend a hot day. Additional pictures from the day can be found on page 5 of today’s R-T.

FIVE POINTS FESTIVAL BEATS THE HEAT Good Crowd Shows Up For Entertainment, Games And Contests The inaugural Five Points Festival was held in downtown Trenton Saturday and despite the heat, good crowds showed up for musical entertainment, games, vendors and the Art’s Alive “Art on a Line” contest.

“It was great to see so many community members involved and so many community members attending the event,” said Megan Taul, director of Main Street Trenton.

Mrs. Taul said there are plans in the works to make the festival an annual event, most likely being held again in late August.

“The Five Points Festival is a community event and would not be possible without the groups, organ-

We look forward to the 2022 Five Points Festival!

Art’s Alive, the new arts organization in Trenton, sponsored an art competition for artists during the festival. Artists were asked to create art in any medium on white tee shirts, for “Art on a Line”.

The art was displayed on a “clothesline” at the festival. Artists were also asked to incorporate this year’s Missouri Bicentennial in their work. Artists were judged on creativity, [See FESTIVAL, Page 6]

Motion Filed To Exonerate Man Stickland Has Been In Prison For Four Decades LIBERTY, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri prosecutor has filed a motion asking a judge to exonerate a man who has been imprisoned for four decades for a triple murder that she and many others do not believe he committed.

The motion, filed Saturday and made public Monday, stems from a new law that gives local prosecutors the authority to ask judges to exonerate prisoners they believe are innocent.

“Most of us have heard the famous quotation that ‘injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere,’" Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said in a written

statement. “Kevin Strickland stands as our own example of what happens when a system set to be just, just gets it terribly wrong."

Attorney General Eric Schmitt's office has argued in a court motion that Strickland is guilty. Gov. Mike Parson, who could pardon Strickland, has said he's not convinced that Strickland is innocent.

Members of the team that prosecuted Strickland, federal prosecutors in the Western District of Missouri, Jackson County’s presiding judge, Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas and some Republican members of Missouri Legislature have all said Strickland should be released.

Strickland, of Kansas City, was 18 when he was arrested in the April 25, [See STRICKLAND, Page 6]

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL — WEEK 1

BROOKFIELD BULLDOGS 18, TRENTON BULLDOGS 12 — OT

JUST OUT OF REACH

Late Score Forces Overtime, But Trenton Falls On The Road In Brookfield, 18-12 Coleman Griffin churned his legs, twisted his body and stretched the football out. When the mass of humanity around him was sorted out, however, the officials ruled him just short of scoring on what would have been a game-winning twopoint conversion.

Instead, a late score by the Trenton Bulldogs only forced overtime and in the bonus period Brookfield kept Trenton out of the win column, prevailing with an 1812 victory in head coach Cory Luke’s first game on the sidelines.

Trenton, meanwhile, hopped back on their bus and returned home with a winless streak that has now reached 676 days.

As gut-wrenching as the loss was, though, it was hard to look past the fact that Trenton lost to Brookfield 50-0 in last year’s season opener. Trenton looked like a much more experienced and improved team. It showed that in several facets of the game.

But Brookfield, mainly running back Tommy Gunn, who ripped off a 49-yard touchdown run and the 20-yard game

winner in overtime, proved to be the more explosive of the two squads.

“I knew going in that our effort was

good,” Trenton head coach Kevin Hixson said. “Just our overall spirit was better. We are just missing that one explosive player.

GALLATIN BULLDOGS 62, NORTH PLATTE PANTHERS 8

That one explosive game breaker. A guy that can just make it happen and score. We need that and we have to find that.”

A player Trenton thought could be capable of being that guy was Gabe Novak, but just after halftime he left the game with a shoulder injury. After Trenton scored on the first possession of the second half, a grinding eight-plus minute drive capped by a two-yard Coleman Griffin touchdown run, the offense struggled to keep pressing forward.

“We didn’t execute well enough on offense,” Hixson said. “I told the kids I will take that. I will take that six-point loss and I will put that on me. Next week I will demand that we do more things perfect and that we get after it just a little bit more than we did this week.”

Trenton’s touchdown drive at the start of the second half drew Trenton into a 6-6 tie after the point-after kick failed. The drive almost stalled, however, but Griffin found Nate Burkeybile on an 11-yard connection that put Trenton on the three-yard line and bought the Bulldogs a fresh set of downs.

Two plays later, Griffin had the touchdown.

The catch was only part of what Burkeybile did for Trenton. He had two crucial recoveries on short Brookfield kickoffs in the special teams phase of the game. Defensively, he was in the Brookfield back[See TRENTON, Page 4]

Gallatin Rolls Over Panthers, 62-8 Tigers Run Into North Platte No

Week 1 Buzzsaw

Match As Bulldogs Open Year With Win

The biggest question mark Gallatin had coming into the 2021 season was at quarterback where a sophomore would be replacing an all-conference player.

One week in, things look pretty good under center for the Bulldogs.

Peyton Baker threw three touchdowns in his debut and the Gallatin Bulldogs trounced visiting North Platte 62-8.

“I was very much pleased with our performance tonight,” Gallatin head coach Patrick Treece said. “The guys had a great week of practice, prepared well and I think that showed through in the game. We made huge strides from the jamboree to week 1 and want to continue to get better each day. I thought that Peyton Baker had an outstanding debut as the starting QB. He ran our offense smoothly.”

Baker’s touchdowns came early as he threw all three of them in the open-

ing quarter of play. He found Payton Feiden for the first and then hit Draven Wright twice for touchdowns.

A pair of two-point conversions by Rodell Sperry and one by Jagger

Gray had Gallatin cruising, up 24-0 entering the second quarter.

In the second, touchdowns continued to pile up for Gallatin. Gray [See GALLATIN, Page 4]

Like the Princeton Tigers, the Mid-Buchanan Dragons have a lot of new starters on their varsity squad in 2021. The difference is Princeton’s new players are at nearly every position and they have little to no experience on Friday nights. Mid-Buchanan’s new starters number fewer and those players routinely closed games in which the Dragons built monumental leads early last season.

Mid-Buchanan built another big lead early Friday night before coasting to the finish and handing Princeton a 49-6 season-

opening loss.

From the onset it was clear Mid-Buchanan is still a force to be reckoned with on the Class 1 stage and in the KCI Conference. The Dragons scored five times in the first quarter to go up 35-0 and tacked on one more score in the second quarter to push the advantage to 42-0 by the break.

The scores came quickly, too.

Mid-Buchanan needed just two plays to score on two of their drives, just three plays on two more and five plays on another.

While there is real concern for Princeton’s young team, however, the game hardly means much in terms of the Tigers’ overall success this season. Two [See TIGERS, Page 4]

Run In The Top Of The Seventh Lifts Bulldogs Two teams were left when the Bill Hill Memorial Tournament in Albany came down to the championship game - the Gallatin Bulldogs and the Princeton Tigers.

The two Grand River Conference schools battled it out in the championship game, but it was Gallatin who came out with the trophy, topping the Tigers 5-4.

The game went to extra innings tied at 4-4. Each team began the bonus frame with a runner on second and Betty Rogers came through for Gallatin, singling home Alex Endicott, who was stationed on second to start the inning.

after an intentional walk to strand Princeton runners on first and third.

“This tournament win does validate our abilities as a team and gives a little perspective of what we were capable of, not really for anyone else, but for ourselves,” Gallatin coach Penny Gardner said. “We

are going to have to come ready to battle every game, we don't have an easy schedule, and our conference is pretty salty.

Gallatin advanced to the title games with wins of 93 over Albany and 13-8 over Stanberry. Princeton, meanwhile, got into the title game with a 3-1 win

over King City and a 6-5 win over North Andrew.

Princeton (2-1) returned to action on Monday, playing host to Schuyler County and the Tigers travel to Maysville tonight (Tuesday) to open GRC play. Gallatin (3-0) will take on Milan at home tonight in their GRC opener.

Trenton Winless In Cameron Tourney It was a tough start to the season for the Trenton Bulldogs, who finished 0-5 at the Cameron Tournament. Trenton fell 12-0 to St. Joseph Central and 12-2 to Lawson in pool play games on Friday. When Trenton returned to Cameron on Saturday, its fortunes weren’t much better as the Bulldogs lost 5-1 to DeKalb, 13-4 to

St. Joseph Benton and 4-3 to Mid-Buchanan.

“I felt our team did not compete their best,” Trenton head coach Madi Stillwell said. “It was a very slow start for us, but game by game we made very small improvements.”

[TRENTON, from Page 2] field all night causing havoc and collecting tackles for loss.

“I’ll tell you what, Nate had a heck of a practice last week,” Hixson said. “He just had energy and he was positive and he probably had his best week in the three years that I have been here.

I bragged on him all week long on his effort and his energy and he came out here and he came out here on the field and made it happen.”

Burkeybile’s individual performance wasn't the only one that stood out. While Trenton’s offense was having its troubles, Caleb Johnson was making sure Brookfield wasn’t running away with the game. He busted up a Brookfield play in the backfield on third-and-one in the third quarter and followed that up by chasing Brookfield running back Jaden Abongo down for no gain on fourth-and-five to kill the drive. In the first half, Johnson had a fourth-down sack to kill off another Brookfield opportunity.

He would have to go to the sideline late in the game, however, battling the heat that plagued the night.

“CJ is just that kind of guy, he is a grinder,” Hixson said. “He was probably in the game longer than most kids would have been.

He couldn’t hold any food down and I think he just got a little over-heated. So, he kind of struggled with that a little bit, but he did a great job.”

Trenton finally mounted another drive near the end of the contest. The Bulldogs reached the 24-yard line, but a penalty and a sack on fourth down gave Brook-

field the ball back with 2:14 left on the clock.

Brookfield, which has moved to a shotgun snap under Luke, struggled all night getting the ball from the center to the quarterback. Quarterback Colton Parn was picking the ball up off the turf all night and when it seemed the game was put away, disaster struck for the host school once again. The snap skipped off the turf, bounced off Parn’s ankles and a scramble for the ball ensued. It was Trenton who came out of the pile with the ball — and renewed life.

“That’s probably the biggest difference between this team and last year’s team — last year we would get that ‘oh, here we go again’ mentality,” Hixson said.

“This year we kind of bow our neck a little bit and stiffen up. I was pretty proud of that effort. I said we need a ball, we need a ball and they got after it. The ball got on the ground and we were fighting for it.”

The Bulldogs made the most of this chance.

Sam Gibson gave the Bulldogs some hard running, taking the ball to the three-yard line before

Griffin scored his second touchdown of the night on a keeper.

That’s when the two-point conversion was stopped, however, and the game went into overtime.

Trenton’s overtime possession wasn’t much, with the Bulldogs going four-and-out. When Trenton stepped on the field on defense, they were without defensive ends Caleb Johnson and Kaden Owen as well as Novak in the secondary. Trenton had a handful of freshmen and sophomores on the field in their place and still nearly kept the game going. The Bulldogs had Brookfield at third-and-five before Gunn put the game away with his 20-yard sprint.

Both sides had their share of turnovers. Griffin fumbled away a ball in the first half for Trenton’s first turnover and was intercepted twice on the night. He also snatched an interception of his own in the Trenton secondary and Brookfield added two costly fumbles — the one at the end of regulation and another earlier in the game that came inside Trenton’s 20-yard line.

Trenton will look to bounce back on Friday in their home opener, but it will be a difficult challenge. East Buchanan will be at C.F. Russell Stadium fresh off a 42-14 thrashing of South Harrison in week 1. The Battle of the Bulldogs — the second of four all-Bulldog match-ups on the Trenton schedule this year — kicks off at 7 p.m.

“We are going to face an East Buchanan team that is going to be a little bit better than (Brookfield),” Hixson said. “We have our work cut out for us.”

Tigers Won’t Let Defeat Define Season Bulldogs Set For Rivalry Showdown

[TIGERS, from Page 2] years ago, in head coach Nathan Powell’s first season with the Tigers, Princeton was shut out by Mid-Buchanan 35-0 in the season opener. The Tigers finished that season as trichamps in the Grand River Conference. Last year, Princeton fell 41-6 to MidBuchanan in week 1 and closed the year as trichamps again and played in the district championship game.

“We spent the entire game preaching that this was making us better,” Powell said. “People outside of our locker room may roll their eyes at that, but we as a coaching staff believe in what we’re doing and know it works.

Our kids have proven that in each of the past two seasons. We’ll take 24 hours to process this game and then it’s done and gone and we

move on to Midway.”

Princeton got its lone score of the game on a 22yard pass by sophomore quarterback Logan Smith, who found Gavin Power on the play for the score.

Princeton failed on a twopoint attempt.

Smith finished the night 5-of-10 passing for 70 yards and the score. Andrew Rhoades had a teamhigh 44 yards rushing on 12 carries. Freshman Tyler Brown had just four carries, but showed some positive glimpses including a 16-yard run on one of those carries. He finished the night with 24 yards rushing.

“The big takeaway for us was the attitude our kids held throughout the game,” Powell said. “We were overmatched early on, but the kids kept at it and stayed very coachable.

That's what each week is

all about. No one wants to lose, but if you can gain something from it to apply to your next opponent then that’s all you can ask for.

Most of our kids just gained their first real varsity experience playing the top program in Class 1 right now.”

The Tigers will hope for

an easier time this week as they play host to Midway on Friday at Eddie Allen Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.

“It’s our home opener and our next opportunity to get better so I know our kids will be ready,” Powell said.

[GALLATIN, from Page 2] scored less than two minutes into the second frame and rushed the ball over the goal line for his second touchdown midway through the frame. Sperry would score just before halftime and the Bulldogs went into the break with a commanding 46-0 edge.

The subs made their way into the game after the break, but the points kept coming. Johnathan Baldwin and Boston Bell each had touchdowns in the second half, sandwiching North Platte’s only score of the night. Logan Bottcher had two-point conversions after each Gallatin score to give the game its final margin of 62-8.

The all-out attack from Gallatin started up front, where Treece was pleased with the play in the trenches on both sides.

“I have to give props to our offensive and defensive lines,” Treece said. “They played phenomenal football.”

Things ramp up this week for Gallatin as the Bulldogs are now set for a rivalry match-up at Hamilton. Last year’s game went into overtime before Hamilton prevailed, avenging their loss to Gallatin in 2019.

“This week with Hamilton we will have to play mistake-free football and bring the physicality,” Treece said. “Being a rivalry game, anything is possible. This matchup has lived up to the hype with the last four meetings being decided by one score or less. Hamilton is a very good football team that is coming off a big win against Higginsville. I would say the most concerning thing is their ability to run the ball from the QB position, especially the option game. We will have to stay disciplined and tackle well to get the job done.”

The Bulldogs and Hornets kick off from Alumni Field Friday at 7 p.m.

A deep appreciation comes in seeing that community can come together in a time of need to help whether by thoughts, prayer and or assistance. Thanks is just a small word compared to the deeds that have been done. A reminder that once we are a part of a community, we continue to be a part of it as many old friends who have been long gone from Trenton have stepped up with prayers and support. We cannot mention each of you who has helped because it would be so many and wouldn’t want to forget to mention anyone. There are also so many who have given anonymously but God knows who you are.

To my church family who endured with me and without me, who waited patiently for my return through prayer and continued ministry of the gospel to be heard. Who has allowed me to return to the pulpit to preach the Word of Jesus’ Grace and His redeeming power. Love you all.

Then there is my family. First of all to my brother Danny who may not have been 100% match but he is 100% behind the family being there for Dad and Mom every day. Being the oldest brother God designed him for, calling and checking up on me when I just needed someone to talk to back home.

Love you big brother.

I want to thank my brother Bobby who was a 100% match in bone marrow with me for his willingness to donate to me, life. without his blood my survival and engraftment would have been more concerning. I will never forget what he said when I thanked him, “It’s what brothers do.” Love you brother.

I want to thank my sister Charla Rehbein who also was a 100% match and more than willing to have been a donor. I thank her for being there to help take care of Dad and Mom the way she has.

Love you Sis. To Dad and Mom who has encouraged me through all of this and raised me so that I could have the Faith I needed to go through an ordeal such as this. For teaching me that God is the source of strength in prayer and comfort. Love you always.

To my children, Cory who has, kept up on the household back home. Cleeton who has called and advised me to medically do the things the doctors ask. Chasity Rardon for visits made to keep me strong. To each one of our grandchildren and great grandchildren that made me see life is worth the gamble of finding a healing if there was one so I could watch their future unfold in front of me. Love You All To my wife Dianna who has proven that our vows of almost 43 years ago are still good through better or worse, sickness and health. There is no thank you or gift I could ever repay what she gave up to be my caregiver and to stay by the side of a sometimes-grumpy old man. She harbored any moments of doubt or reservation I may have had with strong grace and love. There’s no one like her.

Love you dear.

It is also a reminder that there is not enough thanks I can give to my Heavenly Father Who loved me enough that He sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for me even though I don’t deserve it. Who has strength my Faith even though I believed it was already strong. He has shown me that none of us are where we should be in our Faith, as it always needs strength through His Word, the people around us and even the things we go through, whether good or bad, healthy or unhealthy. We can choose to deny it, define it, or just simply Faith through it. God does all for our Good. Love you Jesus.

God Bless each of you and may we all allow the Grace of Jesus Christ to strengthen us each day as we journey to the Eternal home prepared for those who believe that Jesus paid it all.

That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 1 - Corinthians 2:5

With the love of Christ for all, be in church on Sunday, Doug and Dianna Crawford

LOCAL Strickland • From Front Page •

1978, deaths of Larry Ingram, 21; John Walker, 20; and Sherrie Black, 22, during a home invasion. The motion said that at the time, he was a “hot-headed teenager" and “made cocky and sarcastic comments that aroused police suspicion."

But he has maintained his innocence since his arrest. Jurors in his first trial were unable to reach a verdict. Strickland, who is Black, was convicted the second time by an all-white jury.

Cynthia Douglas was wounded but pretended to be dead, and the case against Strickland rested largely on her identifying Strickland as the killer. But she retracted her statement before she died in 2015, sending an email to the Midwest Innocence Project in 2009 that said: “I am seeking info on how to help someone that was wrongfully accused, this incident happened back in 1978, I was the only eyewitness and things were not clear back then, but now I know more and would like to help this person if I can."

Her family also has signed affidavits saying Douglas wanted Strickland released from prison. The motion said that one longtime family friend said in an affidavit that Douglas told everyone that “the detectives told her what to say.”

The motion further said that three of the four actual perpetrators said that Strickland was not involved in the homicides, and two of them identified another person. The motion also said that a fingerprint found on the murder weapon was not Strickland's.

“The evidence of Strickland’s innocence is clear and convincing." the motion said, adding that the “evidence that supported

Strickland’s conviction has been undermined, and no reliable evidence of guilt remains."

Assistant Attorney General Andrew Clarke argued in a motion filed in July that Strickland was given a fair trial in 1979 and had offered Douglas money the day of the killings to keep “her mouth shut." He also said Douglas’ alleged recantation can't be verified and noted she did not sign any affidavits about her changed beliefs while she was alive.

The Missouri Supreme Court declined to hear Strickland's case in June.

An evidentiary hearing scheduled in DeKalb County, where Strickland is imprisoned, was dropped Aug. 18 so Strickland's attorneys could focus their efforts in Jackson County.

The new law also could spur action on the other side of Missouri.

Lamar Johnson has spent 26 years in prison for a murder he says he didn’t commit. Johnson was convicted in the 1994 killing of 25-year-old Marcus Boyd in an alleged drug dispute in St. Louis.

St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner, a Democrat, believes Johnson was wrongly convicted and sought a new trial. The Missouri Supreme Court ruled against her in March, even while noting that the case was “not about whether Johnson is innocent and did not receive a constitutionally fair trial.”

Instead, Schmitt’s office argued successfully that Gardner lacked authority to seek a new trial so many years after the case was adjudicated.

It wasn’t clear if Gardner would now seek to overturn the conviction under the new state law. A spokeswoman for Gardner said she wasn’t aware of any immediate pending action.

Dream Factory Is Topic At Aug. 26 Rotary Meeting The Dream Factory was the topic of a program presented by Ron Dougan to members of the Trenton Rotary Club on Thursday, Aug. 26 at the BTC Bank community room. Brian Upton presided at the business meeting, Phil Hoffman gave the prayer and Steve Taylor was the sergeant-at-arms.

The Dream Factory grants wishes to serious and chronically ill children.

Dougan has been a volunteer with the organization since 1990 and currently works with fundraising and organizing “dreams” for area children.

When he first got involved, the biggest wishes sought by children were computers. The most popular wish now is a trip to Disney World. While he said every “dream” is special, one that stands out involved a Galt youth who attended the Kansas City Royals baseball game and got to meet catcher Salvador Perez. At a Royals game a few years later, the youth’s family was able to visit with Perez again.

Dougan said that both the Royals and Chiefs are big

supporters of the Dream Factory.

In an effort to raise funds for the program, Dougan has organized a concert featuring bluegrass artist Rhonda Vincent, to be held on Oct. 6 at the Trenton Performing Arts Center.

Tickets are $25 ($30 at the door) and can be purchased from Dougan, the Trenton Downtown Improvement Association office and HyVee. During the business meeting, Rick Klinginsmith reported on the recent Missouri Day Parade Committee meeting and asked members to help with the Oct. 16 event.

Several volunteers will be needed. Suggestions for the parade grand marshal are also being sought. The first three September programs were announced and include Lynda Snuffer from the Salvation Army on Sept. 2; Rick Cole from the NCMC Digital Media Program on Sept. 9; and Jamey Honeycutt, who recently purchased the Trenton Republican-Times newspaper along with his wife, D’Anna, on Sept. 16.

Busy Bees Hold Meeting The Busy Bees 4-H Club met on Aug. 28 at 2:30 p.m. at the Laredo Community Center.

There were 10 members, one leader present. Rebecca Urich presided over the meeting and Hailey Kidd led the Pledge of Allegiance to the American flag. Kenzie Bower led the 4-H Pledge.

The roll call question was, “How was your first week of school?” No project reports were presented.

The snacks were provided by the Urich Family.

The group participated in the yearly scrapbook. The meeting was adjourned and the next meeting is September 19.

DOWN 1 Panel of 12

Dear Annie: My wife and I have been together since we were just out of high school. We've been married for 18 years, and we have three glorious children. We have a great relationship, but I recently discovered she was extremely promiscuous in high school and found out she slept with many of our friends, some of whom are still in our social circle. I have always had a jealous nature, and now the jealousy is overwhelming my daily thoughts, especially when we see these other guys. Although the encounters happened before my time with her, I still feel cheated on and don't look at her the way I once did. I have not brought it up with her, because I know she will get super defensive, and I know she will not go to counseling because of the nature of the topic. Any insight into getting over this would be appreciated, as I do love her and want to be with her. -- Jealous in Wisconsin Dear Jealous: Your wife is still looking at you with

the same love in her eyes she always has, and if she knew you now look at her differently because of things she did 20 years ago, she would be heartbroken. So don't tell her. Though I generally champion the importance of talking every problem out with a romantic partner, unfounded jealousy is the exception. If you aired your feelings, they'd grow like fanned flames. You'd most likely make your wife feel defensive, and her defensiveness would in turn make you feel less secure about the marriage. Deprive these fiery feelings of oxygen and they'll eventually die out.

It's also not worth talking about it with her because this is about you, not your relationship. Do some digging and try to get to the root of your insecurity. Use positive self-talk to encourage rational thinking. And if the obsessive thoughts won't stop nagging you, consider therapy.

was a big glass tip jar of cash right next to the credit card screen. I waited for my order, and when I received it, I placed several bucks in the tip jar -- overly generous, as my tab was only $6 -- and walked back to my camper. When I opened my bag, I found that my lasagna was a very small edge slice, and it was burned black -not even close to being edible. I am mildly disabled, enough that a stroll back to the restaurant was too much for my bad knees.

I would like to know when a tip went from being a reward for exemplary service to a ransom for basic decency. I sure wish I had my tip money back for that lasagna. Alert to owners: Do you know how your employees are treating your customers? I'll surely never return, nor will many of the people I related my experience to. Alert to service personnel: What are you going to do when the business where you work folds because customers don't come back? -- Lost Customer in Wilmington Dear Customer: It sounds as if you didn't give this server a chance to earn her tip. Next time, speak up.

If a restaurant wants to stay in business, it'll do what it can to keep customers happy.

Salesforce’s next big bet Coming off several successful acquisitions, business software maker Salesforce is betting the momentum will continue with its biggest deal yet — the $27 billion purchase of Slack, a communication tool for work.

Salesforce provided a show of its confidence by raising its revenue projection for its current fiscal year by about $500 million above management’s forecast earlier this year.

The revised guidance came as the San Francisco company reported its first-ever quarter of over $6 billion in sales. Salesforce completed its takeover of Slack at the tail end of that

quarter, so the deal wasn’t a significant factor in that performance.

Salesforce believes Slack will prove to be the right acquisition at the right time as more employers transition from having their workers in the office most of the time to allowing them to work more frequently from home or other remote locations after the upheaval of the pandemic.

Some analysts question whether Salesforce can sustain its torrid growth of recent years, but the company believes its annual revenue will reach $50 billion by 2026, more than triple its pre-pandemic level.

Buying spree: Salesforce has acquired several companies in their quest to grow.
