Alumni Weekend Events Press On Attendance Down Across The Board Although attendance numbers were down, many individuals and classes celebrated Trenton High School Alumni Reunion Weekend and as always, had a great time, according to THS Alumni Association Secretary Steve Maxey. Speaking on behalf of the association, Maxey reported COVID took its toll for the second straight year with many classes cancelling while others shared “good participation.” A Friday night mixer following the home football game saw an increase in attendance over last year while the Saturday Open House and Sunday Brunch shared similar numbers, and neither were held during the 2020 weekend. Maxey said several classes have already announced plans to reschedule their cancelled reunions next September along with special reunions in the plan-

ning for the 2022 weekend. Several alums were appreciative of the tours of the new Performing Arts Center and over 50 cars were entered in the inaugural car show. Jeremy Soptic, chair of the car show relayed lots of enthusiasm from the competition and announced plans to present the Alumni Association with $520 as earmarked proceeds from
the event for the Alumni Association Scholarship Fund. In a reorganizational meeting of the Foundation Trust for THS/Alumni Association, Kevin Bailey was elected president and Dr. John Holcomb was elected vice-president. Dr. Holcomb has served as the president for over 20 years and he and Bailey will change offices this year.
Re-elected as secretary and treasurer were Maxey and Katie Kinney, respectively. Dr. Holcomb was recognized for his many years as President. The THS Class of 1965 presented the association with a check for $500 for use in operations of the Alumni Weekend. Board members voted to increase association dues from $15 to $20 as a result of postage and printing costs for mailings and the “Alumni News”. Dues have not been increased since 2016. Trenton R-9 Superintendent Mike Stegman discussed enrollment numbers, COVID challenges and improvements made to the campus with board members. He also shared projects being considered for the future, including C.F. Russell Stadium locker rooms and resurfacing of the track. A general meeting was planned for Saturday, Nov. 6 with class representatives to make plans for the 2022 Labor Day Reunion.

NOWHERE TO RUN East Buchanan Defense Stifles Trenton As Bulldogs Drop To 0-2 There wasn’t a whole lot Trenton could do offensively Friday night against the visiting East Buchanan Bulldogs. The visitors’ big front line dominated all night as Trenton suffered a 42-7 loss to drop to 0-2. Offensively, Trenton got zero push up front, constantly punting the football until East Buchanan sent in the reserves late with a 42-0 lead and running clock. “They brought an odd front to us, which was a little bit different than what we faced in week 1,” Trenton head coach Kevin Hixson said. “They have good size and that’s where their experience is — up front.” For a while early it looked as if Trenton’s defense would be up to the challenge. The Bulldogs forced punts on both of East Buchanan’s first two possessions and neither one was good. Trenton set up shop on the East Buchanan 29 and 44 on their first two possessions, respectively. Nothing came of either opportunity, however, and the Bulldogs spun their tires against the East Buchanan front. On the visiting Bulldogs’ third possession, however, things changed as quarterback Conner Musser connected on a 63-yard touchdown pass to his running back, Trevor Klein.
Musser and Klein would light up the scoreboard from that point on. Musser threw four first-half touchdown passes, all of which were of distances of 30 or more yards. Klein, who caught two of Musser’s four TD tosses, added rushing touchdowns of 16 and 38 yards in the third quarter to push the lead to 42-0. “I thought their quarterback did a good job of staying in the pocket and not getting too flustered or flushed,” Hixson said. “You know, we had a hard time up front with their size and then their running back just has a different gear. They were smart to get the ball to him in the open field and let him do his thing.” Musser completed 14-of-16 passes for 265 yards and the four scores. Klein rushed eight times for 131 yards and his two touchdowns and caught two passes for 103 yards and another two scores. Trenton was finally able to break up the shutout in the fourth quarter, punching the ball in on East Buchanan’s junior varsity with a 10-yard run from Coleman Griffin. It was Griffin’s third touchdown run of the season. Sam Gibson led Trenton with 74 yards rushing, but needed 20 carries
to record that total. Ian Elbert rushed 10 times for 33 yards and Griffin finished with 21 yards rushing on five carries and completed 1-of-6 pass attempts — a 12-yard gainer to Nate Burkeybile. Trenton will look to hit the reset button as the Bulldogs begin Grand River Conference play this week, hosting a Princeton squad that has also stumbled to an 0-2 start. Hixson and his team aren’t looking past anyone this year, though. “(The team) is pretty excited (for conference play),” Hixson said. “Princeton is a tough team and they have a couple of formations that they do some pretty good stuff out of. If our guys think (Princeton) is going to come in and lay down or that life is going to get easier because we are in the GRC — we didn’t win a game last year. Keep that in the back of your mind. You have to focus on the job at hand. We are excited to get into Grand River Conference play, but on the same hand, we are not overlooking anybody.” The Bulldogs and Tigers will open GRC play at C.F. Russell Stadium on Friday. Kick off is set for 7 p.m. in Trenton.
There were a lot of things Gallatin tried to do Friday in Hamilton, but not much of it worked. The host Hornets seemed to have an answer at every turn as they shut out Gallatin 28-0 at Alumni Field. “Hamilton was as good as advertised,” Gallatin head coach Patrick Treece said. “They did a great job establishing their run game and controlling the game. Their physicality and execution really stood out to me.” The Hornets scored first, opening up an 8-0 lead in the first quarter after a successful two-point conversion. But two more touchdowns by the Hornets in the second quarter built a 22-0 halftime lead that felt insurmountable with the way things were going for Gallatin offensively. A third quarter score for Hamilton gave the game its final margin of 28-0. Gallatin’s offense was mired all night, collecting just 69 yards of total offense. Gallatin had just seven first downs in the game and the Bulldogs were 0-for-7 converting on third downs and 0-for-2 on fourth. Defensively Gallatin wasn’t awful, but the Bull-
dogs did give up a handful of key conversions and the Hornets finished the night with 327 yards of offense including 289 yards rushing. “Defensively, I felt like we had our moments but couldn't get off the field in crucial situations,” Treece said. “We missed a lot of tackles and plays that should have been made. Hats off to Hamilton on a game well played.” Coming off such a big win in week 1, a 62-8 smashing of North Platte at home, Gallatin is now forced back to the drawing board ahead of Grand River Conference play, which is slated to begin this week with a home matchup against South Harrison, which is 0-2 on the season with losses of 42-14 to East Buchanan in week 1 and 44-6 to West Platte in week 2. “Even though we took the loss tonight I believe that we got better as a football team,” Treece said. “Iron sharpens iron and I think that it was a great learning experience for our team as to where we need to improve. We will continue to improve and make the corrections in practice. This week starts GRC play and we are excited to have another opportunity to get back on track.” Kickoff between the two Bulldog teams is set for 7 p.m. on Friday in Gallatin.

MIDWAY VIKINGS 34, PRINCETON TIGERS 16
Princeton Can’t Hold On Midway Scores 20 Unanswered To Close Game For three quarters, the Princeton Tigers hung right with the visiting Midway Vikings. But a costly Princeton fumble and a pair of late Midway scores took the intrigue out of the Tigers’ home opener at Eddie Allen Field as Princeton fell to 0-2 on the season with a 34-16 loss. “Tonight was a frustrating one,” Princeton head coach Nathan Powell said. “We had ourselves in a position to regain the lead and literally fumbled it away. Our kids played hard and we were able to sustain drives offensively, but we made too many mistakes to overcome.” Midway opened the scoring in the first quarter
with a 38-yard pass that dropped the Tigers in a 6-0 hole. But Princeton responded, getting in the end zone on a 43-yard pass from Logan Smith to Talan Holt. Andrew Rhoades carried in the conversion and the Tigers had their first lead of the season at 8-6. Smith would find Luke Kelly in the third quarter for a second passing touchdown. This one came from 22 yards out and Kelly caught a 2-point conversion pass from Rhoades to give Princeton the lead back after Midway answered the initial score with one of their own. “We focused on our spread look quite a bit this week because we felt like we had some opportunities with our kids in space,” Powell said. “When we were able to operate within our comfort zone running the ball and mixing in some
play action, the offense really was putting together consistent drives for us.” Princeton’s 16-14 lead wouldn’t hold, though, as Midway answered again and again and again. The Vikings scored 20 unanswered points to close the contest and return home with the victory. Rhoades led Princeton with 80 yards rushing on 14 attempts and caught three balls for 31 yards. Smith completed 8-of-21 passes for 116 yards and his two scores. He was also intercepted twice. Holt’s 43-yard touchdown pass was his only reception of the game. Kelly finished with three catches for 36 yards and his score. Princeton’s defense struggled to contain Midway running back Harrison Kalinka, who had 207 yards and a touchdown on 25 carries. The Tigers also

finished the night with four turnovers while Midway gave the ball away just once. “We simply gave the ball away multiple times and
you're rarely going to find success doing that,” Powell said. Now, at 0-2, Princeton will hope to get back on track when Grand River
Conference play begins on Friday. The Tigers will travel to Trenton to take on the Bulldogs, also 0-2 on the season, at C.F. Russell Stadium.

Her mark tied her for medalist honors with Maysville’s Hannah Riner. Behind Copple, Gallatin got a 50 from Courtney Crose, who had one par at the meet. Cloey Waterbury had one par as well and shot a 57 and Madison Kirk and Brianna Filley each shot scores of 67, one of which was used to round out the Gallatin total.

We’re going to keep pushing through and get to where we execute on some plays we got started tonight.” Ava Simpson had a solid night serving the ball, tallying four aces for the Bulldogs.

Bulldogs Have Tying Run On Deck, But Wolverines Hold On Madi Stillwell was insistent after her team finished at the bottom of the Cameron Tournament that her team could compete with any of the teams that were at the event. On Thursday, Trenton fell 8-4 to the team that won the Cameron Tournament - the Maysville Wolverines. In a game that was close throughout the night, Trenton had the tying run in the on-deck circle when the game ended. It turns out Stillwell wasn’t that far off with her feelings after the Cameron Tournament. “Our girls fought hard and came up short,” Trump said after the loss to Maysville. “We made a couple of mental mistakes that cost us, but it was still a good ball game. Maysville won the Cameron Tournament so it was good to see we can compete with them and any team that was at Cameron.” Trenton found itself in a precarious situation early on Thursday as Maysville put runners on second and third base with no one out in the top of the first inning. A lineout, popout and fly ball to left field would end the threat with no damage done, however. Trenton wouldn’t be able to replicate that escape act all night, though. Maysville scored three runs in the top of the second and Trenton

was chasing from that point on. The Bulldogs plated two runs in both the fourth and fifth innings, the two in the fifth answering a run in the top of the frame by the Wolverines to tie the game at 4-4.Maysville’s second three-run inning of the night was a back-breaker, though, and an insurance run in the top of the seventh pushed the Wolverine lead to 8-4. Trenton came back with one final shot. The Bulldogs put runners at second and third with two outs, but Maysville picked up the third out before Trenton could scratch any runs across. Madi Moore was 2-for-4 at the plate with a run scored and two RBIs.
Chandler Lynch was 2-for-4 with two doubles and two runs scored and Gracyn Rongey and Teya Cooksey each had two hits as well. Morgan King drove in one run for Trenton. Emma Roberts took the loss on the hill, allowing eight runs on 17 hits and three walks without a strikeout. The loss was the first conference defeat of the year for the Bulldogs and dropped them to 1-1 in league play and 2-6 overall.

Chiefs Still Missing Safety Mathieu As Week 1 Looms, Star Defensive Back Still On COVID List KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs remained without All-Pro safety Tyrann Mathieu after his positive test for COVID-19 as the two-time defending AFC champions began preparing Monday for their season opener against the Cleveland Browns. Chiefs coach Andy Reid said that Mathieu, who was vaccinated against the virus, remained in the league's protocol, which means he had yet to return two negative tests taken 24 hours apart. That is the requirement for vaccinated players who are asymptomatic to return to their teams under the NFL rules released in July. “We just have to wait that out and
see where he's at,” Reid said. “I'll know more as we go on.” The Chiefs are off Tuesday before returning for their first on-field work of game week Wednesday. They will also have a full practice Thursday before their typical quick Friday practice and Saturday walk-through, which means there is still a chance Mathieu will be able to join the Chiefs before the Browns visit Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday. Mathieu starts in the base defense alongside Daniel Sorensen. And while the Chiefs have a pair of capable backups in Juan Thornhill and Armani Watts, Mathieu is the leader of a secondary that has become one of their defensive strengths. He is coming off his second straight All-Pro season, and possibly the best of his career, picking off a career-high six passes with 62 tackles and three for loss. One of those interceptions came in a divisional playoff
win over the Browns in January. Asked where the Chiefs stood on vaccinations as a whole, Reid replied: “We're right at the top.” “There are not many that are not vaccinated, I'll just put it that way,” Reid said. “I'm not sure what we're supposed to say and not say, but we're right at about 100 percent.” The Chiefs already are missing middle linebacker Willie Gay Jr., who landed on injured reserve with a toe injury sustained in their preseason finale. The IR designation means Gay will miss at least the first three games of the season. The Chiefs used their initial pick in April's draft to take Missouri linebacker Nick Bolton in the second round, and now he is in line for more playing time Sunday. The Chiefs will also turn to Ben Niemann, who has appeared in 45 games as a backup, to fill in alongside veteran linebacker Anthony Hitchens.

FEMA Declares Disaster Area Gov. Mike Parson has announced that the Federal Emergency Management Agency has approved Missouri’s request for a major disaster declaration, with Grundy and Daviess counties both included on the list. A total of 21 counties will receive federal assistance in response to severe storms and flooding beginning in late June and continuing through July 1. The Governor’s Aug. 13 request included $10 million in qualifying disaster-related expenses that had already been identified. “FEMA’s approval of our request means millions of dollars in federal and state reimbursements will now go to hard-hit communities in 21 Missouri counties,” Gov. Parson said. “We appreciate the hard work of our local emergency managers and officials to assess the damage and tally expenses to meet the initial federal reporting requirements. Their communities and taxpayers will now benefit from their efforts.” In addition to Grundy and Daviess counties, FEMA’s approval means local governments and eligible nonprofits in Andrew, Audrain, Boone, Buchanan, Caldwell, Callaway, Carroll, Chariton, Clinton, Cooper, Holt, Howard, Lincoln, Livingston, Moniteau, Montgomery, Ralls, Ray and Saline counties will receive reimbursements for emergency response costs and repairs to roads, bridges, and other public infrastructure. Missouri’s request to FEMA was for damage and emergency response costs incurred due to severe storms and flooding from June 19 to July 1. FEMA’s major disaster declaration notification, received on Sept. 1, was for the period of June 24 to July 1. State Emergency Management Agency has already begun efforts with the federal government to expand the incident period to include June 1923 in order to maximize financial assistance to Missouri communities and eligible nonprofits. On July 6, Gov. Parson announced Missouri’s request for joint Preliminary Damage Assessments in 17 counties. Audrain, Daviess, Grundy, and Ralls counties were later added to the request after more damage was documented locally. On July 8, joint preliminary damage assessment teams comprising representatives from SEMA, FEMA, and local officials began validating damage data, estimating a total of more than $10 million in damage to public infrastructure and emergency response costs eligible for federal assistance. On Aug. 13, Gov. Parson requested FEMA approve a major disaster declaration for Missouri.
Salvation Army Is Topic Of Rotary Meeting Sept. 2 The Salvation Army was the topic of a program presented to the Trenton Rotary Club at its meeting on Thursday, Sept. 2 at the BTC Bank. Brian Upton presided at the meeting, Dan Wilford gave the prayer and Steve Taylor was the sergeant at arms. Lynda Snuffer, who is the emergency social service director and Pathway of Hope case manager with the Salvation Army, told about changes within the organization, noting that the area office located at Chillicothe has been reorganized to provide social services to residents in Grundy and Livingston counties. There continues to be a food pantry offered weekly at the Chillicothe office and persons can come in every three days to receive items. She said she is also working to bring a food pantry program to Trenton on a monthly basis. Medical and social services are also provided. Two upcoming projects include the Christmas Angel and Kettle programs. The Kettle program is a fundraiser for the organization, with a goal of $38,000 set for the two counties. Kettles will be located at Hy-Vee and Orschlen’s, with bellringers to begin on Nov. 1. Counter kettles are also available for businesses who would like to assist in the fundraising effort. Applications for the Angel Tree project will be taken beginning Oct. 1. The Salvation Army will also being doing food baskets for the holidays for individuals in need who have children at home. During the business meeting, an update was given regarding plans for the Missouri Day Parade on Oct 16, which is organized by the Rotary Club. Chris Hoffman is working on soliciting donations for a three-year sponsorship of new flags at a cost of $50. The flags are placed along the parade route during the Missouri Day Festival. Letters are to be sent to past sponsors. The club is also looking at having mini-flags available for persons to purchase to wave during the parade. A signup sheet was passed around for members to sign up to help with the annual fish fry, which will be held on Saturday, Sept. 18.

• From Front Page •
yesteryear as the league uses 1920 rules in a gentler, six-on-six style of play. During Granny Basketball the court is divided into thirds, with two guards, two forwards and two centers. “The centers are not what you usually think of as ‘centers’,” said Mrs. Guthrie. “You’re usually thinking that the centers as the tallest ones, but they are in the middle and it’s their job to handle the ball and get it up and down the court. Lots of times it’s the shortest ones who are the centers.” Those 1920 rules were devised for the “dainty” game of basketball and include such no-nos as touching the ball when the opponent is holding it, hovering, batting the ball, etc. The uniforms are also 1920s-era, with bloomers and long socks. Local women will have the opportunity to indicate their interest in forming a team while at the event, with more information on that to come as the game gets closer. The benefits of playing Granny basketball are three-fold, according to Mrs. Guthrie. “It’s good fun, it’s good exercise and hopefully we do some good in the communities where we play.” In addition to the game, the NCMC dance team, “Dance Wave” under the direction of Carley Beebe, will perform a half-time show. Several items will be raffled, including a grand prize of an over-thestove microwave oven donated by Klinginsmith Home Center. Admission to the game, which will be played at the Ketcham Community Center on the North Central Missouri College campus, is $5, with all proceeds going to the two non-profit groups.

573-751-2917 NEWS FROM THE SEVENTH DISTRICT Hello 7th District; The Missouri State Fair has been an annual event for my wife for 58 years (therefore my attendance 42 years). Karie and her family have attended the State Fair as exhibitors nearly every year of those 58. Attendance does not signify a day of attendance but camping, originally in the back of stock truck then livestock trailer and tents to today our family six campers. Karie and I attended from August 9th through the 22nd. Why some might ask: We truly enjoy the celebration of Missouri Agriculture and the people involved in this celebration. Karie exhibited livestock and other exhibits through 4-H and FFA as a member of these organizations. I did not participate in livestock showing during my youth. During the time I was an ag teacher at Nodaway-Holt and Chillicothe my students exhibiting a variety of items/animals as well as participated in other activities at our State Fair. During most of those 33 years, I helped in various ways at shows and events. After my retirement from the classroom, Karie and I wanted to continue to have a relatively active role during the Fair. A few years before our retirement we became members of the Missouri State Fair Foundation. Upon my retirement, I joined the Board of this organization and recently became the Chairman of the Foundation. The Foundation’s purpose is: Cultivate the Future of Agriculture; by Preserving and Improving the Missouri State Fair and Educating others about Agriculture. At the core these things are important to our family. We find it easy to get excited about
this time of year and the renewal we receive from those hot days at the MSF Fairgrounds. What do my children think about the Fair? They want to know WHO gets my camping spot in our WILL? P.S. Please contact me if you would like additional information about the Foundation or to include the foundation in your charitable giving. Here is some legislation that was passed during the 2021 Legislative Session: New Scholarships Empower Missouri Families to Make Education Choices (HB 349) A bill approved during the 2021 legislative session took effect on August 28 to create the Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) program. The bill marks the culmination of years of effort by Missouri lawmakers and education reform advocates. The new program will provide up to $50 million in tax credit-funded scholarships annually. Parents of qualifying K-12 students can use the scholarships to pay for public or private school tuition, books and educational materials, tutoring, or assistive services. The scholarship accounts are meant to help students whose unique learning needs aren’t being met by the traditional school environment. They are specifically targeted for students with learning disabilities and young people who come from a low-income background. The availability of scholarships is tied directly to new state investments in public school funding. The ESA program will be administered by the State Treasurer and individual scholarship accounts will be

TOO MANY JOBS, NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE As I travel through the great northwest part of our state, I hear a familiar theme from employers. Throughout most of this year, they have been telling me how desperate they are for employees. Some of those business owners who had to either close or reduce hours last year now have to keep business hours shorter than they prefer, simply because they do not have enough people working to keep the front
door open from 8 to 5. This has become all too familiar to employers throughout Missouri. How many businesses have you seen offer sign-up bonuses, just for starting to work there? Employers are offering more incentives than ever before, and still do not have enough employees. During the coronavirus pandemic last year, we heard several debates over how long unemployment
managed by nonprofit educational organizations. House Speaker Rob Vescovo and Senate Majority Leader Caleb Rowden joined the sponsors of the bill to issue a statement saying, “With everything happening in our schools today, parents and students need educational choice now more than ever. There is no greater tool to break the cycles of crime and poverty and to create good jobs and thriving communities—than a quality education. Less than half of Missouri students are performing at grade-level in reading and math—clearly the traditional one-size-fitsall approach just isn’t working. It’s time to empower Missouri parents to make the educational choices that will best meet their children’s unique needs.” They added, “This ESA program is a long-overdue step in the right direction. We look forward to working with State Treasurer Fitzpatrick to quickly implement this program so that scholarships are available for the 2022 school year.” Parents who want to learn more about the ESA program, or to determine if their children are eligible for the scholarships, can visit https://www.showmeschooloptions.org/. Helping to Prevent Suicide (SB 72) During the 2021 session, lawmakers once again showed their strong support for improved mental health care and efforts to help Missourians struggling with suicidal thoughts. Thanks to legislation passed during the regular session, August 31 represented the first annual Random Acts of Kindness Day. The day also marks the beginning of Suicide Prevention Awareness Month in September. The legislature created Random Acts of Kindness Day to encourage Missourians to engage in acts of good will toward their fellow citizens. The day is meant to remind Missourians that one small act of kindness has the power to change the course of a person's life and the potential to impact countless lives as random acts of kindness are paid forward. The day is meant to help all Mis-
sourians in need, but also to honor and preserve the memory of Shayley Akers, who tragically committed suicide in 2016. Shayley’s mother worked diligently to create the Random Acts of Kindness Day in remembrance of her daughter, who was known for the generous acts she did for others. After signing the bill into law, Gov. Mike Parson said, “Participation in Random Acts of Kindness Day will help us raise awareness and promote Missouri’s ongoing suicide prevention efforts. A random act of kindness can make a big difference.” The new day leads into Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, which takes place in September. The month is meant to raise awareness about suicide and the resources available for those struggling with suicidal thoughts. According to the CDC, suicide rates in the United States increased by 33 percent between 1999 and 2019. Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the nation and there were more than 47,500 suicides in 2019, which is one death approximately every 11 minutes. In 2019, 12 million American adults seriously thought about suicide, 3.5 million planned a suicide attempt, and 1.4 million attempted suicide. Missourians who are in crisis, or who know someone in crisis, should contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. They can also access the Lifeline Crisis Chat by visiting https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/.

Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to serve the 7th District of the Missouri House of Representatives.
benefits should be allowed to continue, with proponents arguing these extra dollars stimulate local economies and opponents saying cutting these benefits will entice people to return to the workplace. As someone who prefers smaller government, I believe the better option is to reform the entire premise of unemployment benefits, so that these dollars deliver maximum benefit to everyone involved. We should have a thorough system that takes into account every circumstance, and not just throw money at something. If we are going to use taxpayer dollars, then we must be 100 percent certain what we are doing with this money is the best solution. Also, in this case, we must make sure it is only a temporary solution.
Unemployment is meant to be a short-term stop-gap, not a career. I am sure my colleagues and I will be working toward this goal during next year’s legislative session. In the meantime, I will continue to reach out to our small business owners — and everyone — in the 12th Senatorial District for feedback on all of the critical issues facing our community. It is always great to get the pulse of our state from the people who make it work. As always, please feel free to call, email or write with your ideas or concerns.

Dear Annie: My boyfriend and I have been talking about moving in together for a very long time. I became pregnant and had our baby, but he didn't move in with me because he was upset that I was talking to other people about our problems. Well, finally, almost a year later, he has moved in his dresser and bookshelf. But he is mad at me again because he did it all on the weekend, unannounced, and that upset me, and I told my dad that it concerned me. Apparently, my dad asked him about it, and he is upset with me again. This is driving me crazy because he stays over here 80% of the time, but when he is mad, he just takes off. He told my brother he is done. I'm so tired of this, but I love him. It's constant back and forth. I want stability and not to suffer. He has done this even before we had kids. He just takes off, and we can't talk through our issues without him getting mad. At this point, I am wonder-
ing, should I continue to work on things -- to keep trying? Is the pain and suffering going to be worth it in the end? -- Highly Frustrated Dear Highly Frustrated: Regardless of if you stay or go, you and your boyfriend will experience some pain and uncomfortable feelings. The real question is, can you make that pain and discomfort productive? The best way to do that is to get into counseling for the two of you. With the help of a professional, he can't just storm off when he is upset; he has to stay in the room and work through his feelings. I know you are going through a hard time, and talking to your father about it might feel like a nice relief in the moment, but it doesn't really help your relationship with your boyfriend. Try to keep the problems in your relationship between you and your boyfriend and your therapist. In the end, you owe it to your baby and yourself
to try to work it out. Dear Annie: Please pass along the information that extremely strong body odors often occur as the result of a nutritional deficiency: zinc. I found my problem had been solved after less than a week on this regimen. Also, if you are wildly attractive to mosquitoes, vitamin B complex will make them lose interest. A good multivitamin/ mineral tablet taken daily will keep both problems at bay. -- Getting All My Vitamins Dear Vitamins: Eating or taking vitamins and minerals, within recommended guidelines, is always a good idea for your health, but who knew that they can help with body odor and bugs? Thank you for telling us about these additional benefits. "Ask Me Anything: A Year of Advice From Dear Annie" is out now!
