COVID Restrictions Showing Impact On Unemployment In The Midwest

Lower Restrictions, Lower Unemployment OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Five of the six states with the nation’s lowest unemployment rates are in the Midwest, have Republican governors and have almost no restrictions intended to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

The governors say their decisions

not to impose harsher restrictions are paying off with fewer business closures and more hiring reflected in the strong jobless numbers. But economists say it’s not so simple. Although businesses that are struggling during the pandemic can benefit when gov-

National Weather Service

It’s looking like it will be a beautiful week, with sunny days and clear, starry nights expected. The high will hit 70 nearly every day with lows around 47. The high Thursday at Trenton was 49, Friday’s high was 56 and Saturday’s high was 70.

The high Sunday was 54, with a low of 32. The high temperature Sunday at the Government Weather Station near Spickard was 47, the low was 24.

ernors opt not to require masks or limit in-door gatherings, other factors may play an even bigger role in producing such low unemployment rates.

And those same rules that could initially help the states’ economies also are blamed for their leading the

nation in coronavirus infection rates, raising questions about whether their hands-off approach is sustainable.

North Dakota and South Dakota have the most cases per capita in the U.S., and Nebraska and Iowa aren’t far behind.

NOT QUITE THERE The Hunt For A District Title Will Continue For Trenton, But Reaching The Final Was A Monumental Step For The Program Twenty-five high school volleyball seasons came and went at Trenton High School without the Bulldogs ever reaching a district championship match. But in the 26th season of volleyball at Trenton, the Bulldogs finally played for a district title.

Though Thursday night didn’t end the way Trenton would have liked, a 26-24, 25-23, 25-18 loss to the host Carrollton Trojans in the Class 2, District 16 final was still a monumental step for the Bulldog volleyball program.

“I know that the outcome is not what we wanted it to be,” Trenton coach Pam Bowden said. “But, I am very proud of the girls.”

Founded in 1995, the novelty act program soon became a comedy as the Bulldogs won two or fewer games in all but one season between 2003 and 2011.

But in recent seasons Trenton has been on the uptick. After reaching the district semifinals just twice in its first 21 years of existence, the Bulldogs collected a win at districts in four consecutive seasons. The fifth, coming in the semifinals this year against South Harrison, placed Trenton into its first district championship match ever.

Still, there was disappointment in the loss. Trenton split with Carrollton in the regular season, with both matches coming on the same day at the Carrollton Tournament. After a 25-19, 25-20 loss in pool play, Trenton came back to hand the Trojans a 25-20, 25-20 loss on their home floor in the tournament championship match. Being on such even footing with Carrollton that day gave Trenton plenty of hope entering Thursday’s district final.

The first two sets proved just how equal the two squads were. Twentyfive points wasn’t enough to determine a winner in the opening set as Carrollton needed to go to 26 to clear Trenton by the mandatory two points.

The second set was equally as close,

but again, it was Carrollton who came out on top, taking a 2-0 lead in the match with a 25-23 win.

Trenton had spent a vast majority of the second set in front, looking to level the match. Carrollton made a run, however, and Trenton faltered, allowing the Trojans to build a 20-15 lead. The Bulldogs showed some resolve, taking seven of the next nine points to tie the set at 22, but Carrollton had just enough left in the tank to survive and grab the second set by the slimmest of margins possible.

After dropping the first two sets in agonizing fashion, Trenton was noticeably down on the court to start the third set. Carrollton ran out to a 7-4 lead, then pushed the advantage to 15-8. Trenton fought back, but couldn’t overcome the deficit as Carrollton closed out its third volleyball district championship with a 25-18 win in the third set.

“You could definitely see the wind come out of our sails after losing the first two sets,” Bowden said. “It was just hard to rebound and make the girls believe that we could overcome this.”

Maybe the moment was too large for Trenton. The Bulldogs had never played in this atmosphere before.

Carrollton, though it hadn’t reached a district final with this current roster until this season, was playing in its seventh district championship match.

The Trojans’ two previous titles came in 1993 and 2004.

But the experience at this level was received on Thursday and Trenton can lean on that going forward.

“I think that the underclassmen have a good taste of being successful,” Bowden said. “We’ve been successful at the Carrollton Tournament the last two years and we got this far this year. Just knowing that we are that close, we just need to get over that hump and get that championship.”

Trenton was led on the night by Evy McCullough, who had seven

kills, two aces, two assists and a dig in the loss. Ava Simpson handed out 10 assists while tallying two aces and a dig and Lilly Berti had two kills, a dig and a team-high seven aces. Jessa Shipley added five digs and an ace and Olivia Roberts finished with two kills and a dig.

The scene inside the Carrollton gym didn’t give the indication that

these were two teams with losing records on the season. Full student sections for each school went backand-forth with each other. Every point was met with an explosion from the scoring team’s fan base. The fan bases were treating this match like a state championship was hanging in the balance, not a district title.

And, justifiably so.

For these two programs, this was their state championship. With the monster in the room, Lawson - owners of a perfect 23-0 record, waiting at sectionals, neither team’s season was going to extend beyond Saturday.

The undefeated Cardinals dismantled Carrollton 25-9, 25-9, 25-12 at that sectional meeting on Saturday.

Trenton dealt with some adversity both on and off the court this week.

Two players had deaths in their families this week, one losing a grandparent, another losing a parent. On the court, libero Kenzie Yuille was ineligible for the district championship match.

But adversity is something Trenton became accustomed to in this, a year like no other, full of unprecedented challenges. The Bulldogs were forced to quarantine just two matches into the season as a positive coronavirus test derailed the season. Trenton then had multiple three- and four-game weeks to make up as many of its missed contests as possible. More matches and fewer practices meant Trenton was learning on the fly.

“We had a little bit of adversity today with Kenzie not being able to play, but I think we stepped up and played good volleyball,” Bowden said. “We just couldn’t get over the hump so to speak.”

Yet when the season ended, Trenton was still standing, playing for the district title for the first time in 26 years.

There have probably been better Trenton volleyball teams. The Bulldogs were just 8-14 overall this season. Trenton has won more games five times, including each of the previous three seasons. But this year’s team, the 2020 Trenton Bulldogs, will always hold a special place in the history of this program. Even though it didn’t end with the district title, Trenton still came home with a secondplace district plaque.

No team before them can say the same.

SPORTS HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL WEEK 10 LEXINGTON 36, TRENTON 0 BULLDOGS FINISH 0-8, 0-5 GRC

UNFEATED Bulldogs Endure First Winless Season Since ’93 It has been 27 years since the Trenton Bulldogs have endured a winless season. On Friday night in Lexington, Trenton fell 36-0 in the first round of the Class 2, District 8 Tournament, capping a winless season for the first time since 1993.

This loss, the eighth and final of a COVID-19 impacted season for the Bulldogs, wasn’t from a lack of effort, however.

Trenton played arguably its best game of the season, but turnovers and Lexington quarterback Johnathan Taylor were too much to overcome.

The Bulldogs turned the ball over four times in the game, three times with fumbles and another on an interception.

Two of the turnovers came early in the game, killing promising drives. Had the Bulldogs scored on both drives they would have kept pace with Lexington out of the gate and confidence would have no doubt grown. Instead, Trenton gave the ball away in Lexington territory both times, killing momentum and hope along with it. “We came out ready to go and really played hard,� Trenton head coach Kevin Hixson said. “Then a little adversity hits and we’re in ‘here we go again’ mode. But, even down 16-0 I was feeling pretty good.

I was really pleased with how we came out and played for a full 48 minutes. We were getting tackles for loss and popping pads.�

Trenton was playing well, but Taylor was just too good at the quarterback position for Trenton to contain. Taylor scored all five of the Minuteman touchdowns in the game, throwing for two and rushing for three. He completed just nine of his 19 pass attempts, but finished with 139 yards passing and 109 yards rushing.

After scoring twice in the

opening frame, Lexington added one score in each of the remaining three quarters to finish off the Bulldogs.

Trenton entered the year replacing its entire backfield and the new elements put in place hardly got a chance to get accustomed to their new roles as the offseason was unlike any before due to the coronaviruscaused pandemic.

Trenton was dealt another blow ahead of week three when a player tested positive for COVID-19, putting the Bulldogs on the shelf for two weeks. Trenton lost games with Princeton and Putnam County as well as two weeks of practices.

In addition to losing a chance at a win against Putnam County, which incurred its own struggles in 2020, the twoweek layoff put the Bulldogs behind in terms of development and adding elements to the offense. Opportunities to get into the win column at Polo and Maysville went by the wayside as Trenton crashed its way to an 0-8 overall record.

But a winning junior varsity season and experience gained by freshman and sophomore starters at the varsity level gives Trenton some hope for a turnaround in 2021. Playing their most complete game of the season - minus the turnovers - in the final outing of the year gives the Bulldogs something to build on for next year. “We talked about building for next season tonight,� Hixson said. “We started a lot of young kids this season and threw them into the fire, so I guess you could call it a rebuilding season. We just have to get it together and put in the work in the offseason. Hopefully we get a more regular offseason this year so we can put in that work and come back stronger next year.�

Elsewhere in the district, Higginsville and Brookfield pitched shutouts as well. Higginsville was a 21-0 winner over Lathrop and that victory sets up a rematch between the Huskers and Minutemen next week. Lexington won the first round 36-25 in Missouri River

Man Will Be Allowed To Sue KC Officers Who Unlawfully Detained Him For Three Weeks KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Black man who was wrongly arrested when he was 15 and held for three weeks without charge will be allowed to sue the two Kansas City of-

ficers who detained him, a federal appeals court has ruled.

A three-judge panel of the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 Wednesday that the officers violated the constitu-

www.republican-times.com

tional rights of Tyree Bell when they arrested him without probable cause on June 8, 2016, KCUR reported.

Officers Peter Neukrich and Jonathan Munyan said they ar-

rested Bell because he resembled another teen who had run away from officers earlier in the day, discarding a gun as he fled. Bell was walking home about a mile from where that

www.republican-times.com

happened when the officers stopped him.

The appeals court wrote that Bell’s only resemblance to the suspect was that he was Black, juvenile and male.

Police video showed Bell was taller, had a different hairstyle and was wearing different clothing than the original suspect. He also was breathing normally — unlike someone who had just run from police — and cooperated with the officers.

The officers argued that they watched dashcam video of the earlier event several times before arresting Bell and had reasonable belief that he was the suspect. But it wasn’t until June 29 that a detective watched the video and concluded Bell wasn't the suspect and should be released from detention.

Bell and his mother sued the police, plus several city and police department officials in 2017.

The lower court dismissed the lawsuit in March 2019 after finding the officers were entitled to qualified immunity, which protects government officials from being sued for actions in their official capacity

unless they violate a legal or constitutional right.

“Given the glaring differences, there was not arguable probable cause to believe that Bell was the fleeing suspect,” Chief Judge Lavenski R. Smith wrote for the appeals court. “Bell’s right to be free from an arrest and detention under the circumstances was clearly established. It is an obvious case of insufficient probable cause.”

Bell’s lawyer, Arthur Benson, applauded the ruling in an email.

“Fifteen-year-old Black males walking home from school in the summer wearing dark shorts and a white tee shirt are not all criminal suspects to be arrested and jailed for three weeks," Benson wrote. "They do not all look alike, even though two untrained Kansas City police officers may think they do.”

Police spokesman Sgt. Jake Becchina said the department does not comment on pending litigation.

The appeals court upheld the lower court’s dismissal of all the defendants except the two officers.

MO Briefs Boy Injured In Shooting ST. LOUIS (AP) — Police in St. Louis are investigating two fatal weekend shootings and a separate incident where a 3-year-old boy was wounded.

Police said a man was found with gunshot wounds to his head shortly before 2 a.m. Sunday in the Carondelet neighborhood in southeast St. Louis. He died at the scene of the shooting Sunday. Police did not immediately release many details about the shooting.

On Sunday afternoon, police were called to an apartment complex in north St. Louis County to investigate another shooting. Officers found a man in his mid-20s with at least one gunshot wound who was shot while he was driving with a child in the car. That child was unhurt.

In a separate incident on Friday, a 3-year-old boy suffered a graze wound to his leg when the car he was riding in was shot at in north St. Louis.

Police said the car driven by the boy's father was shot several times around 6:30 p.m. Friday by suspects in an older, red car.

Robber Arrested After Chase ST. LOUIS (AP) — A suspect in a Jefferson County bank robbery has been arrested after police said he led officers on a chase, fired a gun at them and forced his way at gunpoint into a woman’s home.

The incident began Wednesday morning following a bank robbery in Shady Valley, television station KMOV reported.

Jefferson County sheriff’s deputies said a chase ensued when they tried to stop a car suspected in the robbery.

Police said Cameron Thomas, 27, of Florissant, was driving the car, which was later disabled with stop sticks.

Thomas then fled on foot, exchanging gunfire with police, officials said, before forcing his way into a woman’s apartment at gunpoint in the High Ridge community.

Thomas was later found by SWAT officers hiding in the apartment, police said. Thomas now faces assault, robbery, kidnapping and weapons charges, police said.

No one was reported injured in the chase, shooting or home invasion.

Unlicensed Dog Breeder Faces Criminal Charges JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — An unlicensed dog breeder in southern Missouri was charged Thursday with 24 criminal counts after she allegedly euthanized 21 dogs she had agreed to turn over to the state, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt said.

Marlisa McAlmond, who runs Cedar Ridge Australians in Oregon County, was charged with 21 counts of animal abuse, two counts of felony damage and one count of animal cruelty.

Schmitt's office had formerly sued McAlmond over breeding conditions at the business and because she had an expired license.

Despite having a temporary restraining order against her, McAlmond continued to breed dogs.

The attorney general's office then entered a consent judgment with McAlmond requiring her to surrender 84 dogs to the Missouri Department of Agriculture. She was allowed to keep 20 dogs, Schmitt said in a news release.

Before the department could collect the dogs on Sept. 22, McAlmond killed 21 of them, including seven puppies, Schmitt said, and also transferred 60 dogs to third parties without the Agriculture Department's consent.

COVID

â&#x20AC;˘ From Front Page â&#x20AC;˘

Creighton University in Omaha.

For now, though, those Midwestern states have a lock atop the unemployment rankings, far below the national average rate for September of 7.9%.

Nebraska leads the nation with a 3.5% unemployment rate, followed by South Dakota, Vermont, North Dakota, Iowa and Missouri.

Most of the Midwestern governors imposed some restrictions last spring, but they were among the first to ease them, arguing that they needed to balance efforts to slow the virusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; spread with the need for a robust economy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to believe that if you shut down harder, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to see a more severe impact to your industries and the longer youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re shut down, the harder itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be for those industries to rebound,â&#x20AC;? Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts told The Associated Press.

Missouri Gov. Mike Parson, who tested positive for COVID-19 in September, has touted a balanced approach to coping with the pandemic. And Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds urged residents not to let the virus dominate their lives.

In South Dakota, Gov. Kristi Noem said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consequences to what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen happen in other states â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that shutting down businesses, stopping peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way of life has some devastating impacts.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking a very balanced approach.â&#x20AC;?

In contrast, Vermont Gov. Phil Scott, a Republican, has worked aggressively to tamp down the virus, including closing some businesses in the spring and imposing a mask mandate. Vermont now has one of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lowest COVID-19 infection rates along with the third-lowest unemployment rate.

Like the Midwestern states, Vermont is largely rural with industries that werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt as badly by the pandemic.

Economists say thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a coincidence, noting that states dominated by agriculture and some kinds of manufacturing were able to operate closer to normal and managed to bounce back more quickly.

That contrasts with states that rely on tourism, such as California, Nevada and Hawaii, which have the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest unemployment rates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The economy of a rural state has a different structure, so more of the people work in industries that wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really be disrupted by a need for social distancing like agriculture,â&#x20AC;? said Eric Thompson, who leads the Bureau of Business Research at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

The Midwestern states already had ultra-low unemployment rates before the pandemic, and they benefitted early on from a lack of population density, with plenty of wide-open spaces and few major cities where it would be

harder to avoid catching the virus. More recently, though, many of those rural areas have seen some of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest virus rates.

Even in industries like meatpacking that initially were devastated by workers catching COVID-19, the companies have managed to make changes that have allowed their operations to nearly return to normal.

Thompson said a lack of restrictions may have been most important in the spring. At the height of the shutdowns in April, Nebraskaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unemployment rate peaked at 8.7%, which was slightly more than half the national rate of 14.7% at that time.

Nathan Kauffman, Omaha branch executive of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, said fewer businesses closed in these states because many of them are in what are considered essential industries.

Ricketts agreed that Nebraskaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mix of industries played a significant role in helping the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kinds of things that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re strong in are agriculture, manufacturing, finance and technology. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just got industries that are not going to be as impacted by a pandemic,â&#x20AC;?

Ricketts said.

But even if business has remained better in these states, that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean they have been completely spared.

Restaurants, hotels and other types of businesses are still struggling because people remain wary of resuming their

normal shopping patterns, and those economic costs could rise amid spikes in virus rates.

Despite the low unemployment figures, all of the states now have fewer jobs than before the pandemic hit. Nationally, the economy has regained only about half of the 22 million jobs that were lost.

Still, many Midwestern business owners and leaders say they appreciate their governorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lighter touch.

In Rapid City, South Dakota, Black Hills Bagels never had to close because the wholesale side of its operation continued providing products to grocery stores, and its retail store turned to drive-thru and delivery options, owner Debra Jensen said. It even had trouble hiring the workers it needed this year because unemployment remained so low. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just happy that the state and the folks in South Dakota made the right decisions to make sure our economy didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just bottom out,â&#x20AC;? Jensen said.

Arik Spencer, president and CEO of the North Dakota Chamber of Commerce, said he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think shutting down the economy is the right approach, but every state is trying to help the economy while managing the virus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope that with the thoughtful approach of decisionmakers here in North Dakota, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re poised to recover quickly. But if there was a silver bullet for recovery, every state in the country would be utilizing that right now,â&#x20AC;? Spencer said.

FUNERALS Eva Martin

Eva Streett Delameter Martin, 78, Princeton, (formerly of Kansas City) passed into eternity October 23, 2020 at Pearls II Eden for Elders in Princeton.

She was born in Gilman City, MO, in 1942. She was the oldest child of John Edward Streett and Anna Lee Loney Streett. She graduated from Ravanna High school in 1961. She enjoyed being in FHA and 4-H. After High School she worked at AT&T as a switchboard operator in Kansas City.

In 1962, she married John Delameter and the couple moved to Lincoln, NE. In 1965, Eva gave birth to her daughter Beth Ann. In 1970, they added to their family by adopting a son, David Allen.

Later she would remarry and retire. She spent time with small children all throughout her life no matter what state she lived in. In later life that would be through the church.

She and her second husband, Ben Martin, enjoyed gardening, camping with family on a yearly trip and being with friends and family.

Then came the diagnosis of dementia. She was able to stay at home with her husband for a few years, but eventually moved back to Princeton, MO into Pearlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s II. Unfortunately, Ben passed away in 2016.

ACROSS MISSOURI

Health Department Directors Walk Away From Jobs After Harrassment, Threats

“A Word From...”

by the Trenton Area Ministerial Alliance Sharon Jahraus co-pastor, Trenton Foursquare Church STORM-PROOF Life We are living in a time where everything from political systems, financial markets, personal health and even the church practices are going through a time of shaking.

As Christians, we were never promised a “storm-free” life, but we were promised a “storm-proof” life.

God has promised (Hebrews 12:26-29): “Once again I will shake not only the Earth by the heavens also. This means that all creation will be shaken and removed so that only unshakeable things will remain. Since we are receiving a Kingdom that is unshakeable, let us be thankful and please God by worshipping Him with Holy fear and awe. Four our God is a devouring fire.”

Shaking is disruption that brings about a change in how we live our lives, including how we “do church.” When shaking occurs, faulty foundations are exposed and stable foundations are revealed.

When life feels vulnerable,

people will be searching for that which cannot be shaken.

These are days of challenge, but they are also days of great opportunity.

When shaking on Earth occurs, the heavens are also shaking in order to reveal the coming Kingdom. Awakenings are born from shaking.

The key to living on an unshakable foundation is to hear and obey God’s word and remind ourselves of His love for us. We walk by faith, not by sight. Faith is the anticipation of seeing God do mighty things, even beyond what is happening in the natural world.

The body of Christ is taking opportunities to change up how we are being the church without walls. The universal church is alive and thriving by whatever means the Lord has put in our hands to be a blessing and encouraging to each other. Use these God-opportunities for His glory and to bring hope. It’s time to get rooted into a “storm-proof” life, reading and hearing God’s word and becoming prayer warriors for our community, families and nation.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Health department directors from across Missouri are walking away from their jobs after many of them were threatened and harassed over the actions they have taken to curb the coronavirus pandemic.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch on Friday reported that at least a dozen county health department directors have vacated their jobs since March.

“It’s a common feeling among directors,” said Kelley Vollmar, chair of the Missouri Association of Local Public Health Agencies. “They are tired. They are trying to stand strong, and stand up for their staff, but we are mothers and children and sisters first, and those family relationships you have to make sure are kept safe. It has been challenging.”

Vollmar, who also is director of the Jefferson County Health Department, said staff members also are retiring early because of the stress and verbal attacks.

Those jobs are now difficult to fill, she said.

The state has reported 5,568 new confirmed cases over the past two days — a record 3,061 on Thursday and 2,507 on

I’m stupid and I’m incompetent and I don’t know what I’m doing, of course the pandemic is fake, and all those type of things,” Elliott said.

Over the past two months, health directors in Howard, Washington, Ste. Genevieve and Audrain counties also have stepped down, the Post-Dispatch reported.

Vollmer said she, too, has faced harassment. A gun shop owner on Facebook wrote that gun owners will “decide they’ve had enough of the lies.” People posted pictures of her on social media, altered to make her look like Adolf Hitler or comparing the health department to Nazis.

“It’s just demoralizing after a while because of the simple fact that you are trying to do the right thing,” Vollmar said.

“You’re trying to help people and at the same time, you are trying to protect your family and protect your personal life.”

In August, a review by Kaiser Health News and The Associated Press found at least 49 state and local health leaders had resigned, retired or been fired since April across 23 states. They have left their posts due to a mix of backlash and stressful working conditions.

Friday. The death toll statewide now stands at 2,925. Hospitalizations on Thursday set a record at 1,612, and hospital leaders across the state have warned that facilities are nearing capacity.

Republican Gov. Mike Parson allowed the state to reopen in mid-June, without a statewide mask mandate or social distancing requirement. But several local jurisdictions, often at the urging of their county health departments, have imposed their own stricter guidelines.

Amber Elliott resigned last week as St. Francois County’s health director, effective Nov. 20. She was in the job for less than a year.

Elliott said she was surprised by the personal attacks she and her family have faced as she has worked to protect her community. People have told her they’re watching her. Pictures of Elliott, her husband and her grade-school-age children have been posted online with cruel remarks.

“There’s been many over the course of eight months, to personal attacks on Facebook calling me every name in the book, to calling me and cussing me and saying

Dear Annie: I am 54, from Texas, married, and feel like I am in my 70s or 80s. My hair is almost all gray. I am out of shape and trying to raise a daughter through this pandemic.

Staying home and doing homeschooling is not fun at all. I really feel like I am going through a major depression stage, and my marriage is getting to that most hated word for some guys -- "divorced."

My wife and I have been together for almost 10 years. We have a daughter together, and she's an exact duplicate of her mom in looks, attitude, moods and everything else. My daughter and I are just fire and ice; we cannot get along. I love her very much, but she's a mama's girl big-time. My wife works and is the breadwinner of the house, and I do the housework.

I feel depressed and am scared I am losing my wife and my manhood. Our marriage has not been all that great. Yes, we have our ups and downs, but I feel like we are drifting apart.

Even though we may not be intimate, kiss each other or try to love each other, we are still together for our daughter. Call it

It sounds like you are suffering from a major depression. You are in your 50s and deserve to feel your age, not like you're in your 70s or 80s.

This is understandable, particularly during this pandemic, and it's time to get professional help -- not only for yourself but for the sake of your wife and daughter.

When your health is not good, it is really hard to make any good decisions, so focus on getting healthy first. Tell your doctor about your depression and get yourself into a treatment plan immediately. Once you

Shrinking economies China’s economic output is back above its pre-coronavirus level while the United States and other major economies are on track to end this year smaller than they were in 2018 or as much as a decade earlier.

China’s economy should grow by 1.9% this year while the United States shrinks by 4.9%, the International Monetary Fund says. China will be 10% bigger than in 2018 and the U.S. economy 3% smaller.

Britain, reeling from its divorce with the European Union plus the virus, is on track to end this year with its lowest output since Growth rates

have a handle on your health, you can see how to "bring back that loving feeling" with your wife. Marriage takes work, but if you are too tired to even take care of yourself, how can you take care of your marriage?

Best of luck and please know that you are not alone. Many people are feeling sad and scared during this pandemic.

But there is hope and help out there. Always remember that this is just a moment in time, and this too shall pass.

Dear Annie: I loved reading your column about handkerchiefs, and I have another story to add to let your readers know that handkerchiefs are not only for men. My mom, who passed away a number of years ago, always had a handkerchief in her purse or up her sleeve. Lately, I've taken up the same ritual. I was sad thinking about how I never saved those beautiful handkerchiefs she used and have been buying lacy, colorful and embroidered ones of my own. A few months ago, I was visiting an elderly cousin and she told me she had something for me. It was one of my mom's handkerchiefs. I put it in a frame and hung on the wall. It's a beautiful memory of my mom and a wonderful keepsake. -- Bonnie L. Dear Bonnie: Thank you for sharing this heartfelt family tradition.

Losing ground: All economies with the exception of China are shrinking.

Returning to positive growth could be challenging.

2010. Germany, Europe’s biggest economy, will be 5% smaller than 2018.

That reflects how far major economies need to go to regain previous economic output once they can revive growth.

China became the first big economy to grow again in the quarter ending in June.

“China looks set to continue to surpass the rest of the world,” Diana Choyleva of Enodo Economics said in a report.

Brazil’s economy is forecast to shrink by 5.8% this year, back to its 2007 level. India will be back to its 2016 size.

Two Mishaps At Intersections Two vehicles collided at the intersection of Ninth Street and Harris Avenue Thursday afternoon, according to the Trenton Police Department, with another mishap at the intersection of Oklahoma Avenue and Lord Street.

According to Sgt. Jeb Walkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accident report, the mishap occurred when a truck driven by Allan D. Seidel of Trenton was eastbound on East Ninth Street, approaching the intersection with Harris Avenue. Seidel said he did not notice he had the red light and pulled into the intersection, striking a van driven by Barbara Spencer of Trenton, which was southbound on Harris Avenue. No injuries were reported in the mishap.

Mrs. Spencerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vehicle sustained extensive damage and had to be towed from the scene, while Seidelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truck had moderate damage.

No tickets were listed on the report.

Another mishap occurred Oct. 28. According to Officer Ashley Pachecoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accident report, the accident occurred when a car driven by Kelli N. Shull of Trenton was eastbound on Oklahoma Avenue, while a van driven by Trudy Cook of Trenton was northbound on Lord Street. Mrs. Shull said it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear that Ms. Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s van was going to stop at the stop sign at the intersection so she attempted to slow down, but was already in the intersection when her car was struck by the van on the front passenger side.

There was moderate to extensive damage to the front end of Ms. Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s van and moderate to extensive damage to the front passenger side of Mrs. Shullâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car, which had to be towed from the scene.

Ms. Cook was transported to Wright Memorial Hospital

by Grundy County Ambulance due to possible injuries.

Dr. Sterling Recker, Social Science instructor, and Maryellen Harman, Humanities instructor, are helping NCMC students at register to vote for the upcoming election.

So far, they have helped 164 NCMC students register. In their efforts to help students register, they are also providing information on voter literacy, making informed decisions, and how to find credible, nonpartisan resources to learn about candidates and the issues that will be on the ballots such as Votesmart https://justfacts.votesmart.org/ and Ballotpedia https://ballotpedia.org/Sample_Ballot_Loo kup "We talk a lot about high and low voter turnout, but we rarely address the issue of ensuring people are informed when they vote,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Sterling Recker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I emphasize the importance of civic knowledge and voter literacy throughout the semester. I have created several assignments that teach students where they can go to get information about what their elected officials are doing while in office."

NCMC students would benefit more from information and help with voter registration, education, and how to be informed voters. Ms. Harman and Dr. Recker, with the help of the NCMC Library and other faculty and staff, started education around Constitution Day. Efforts since have expanded to civic engagement and voter education and registration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In general, our goal is to partner with students and the campus community to provide nonpartisan resources that help each voter research their selections and engage in this important civic duty,â&#x20AC;? said Maryellen Harman.

A few of Dr. Reckerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals for National Government classes are to encourage voter literacy and get students involved in politics. Dr. Recker teaches students how to register to vote, make informed decisions, and how to look up who their elected officials are.

Students in Dr. Reckerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Government class recently identified their representative, researched a key issue they voted on, then wrote a letter to their representative expressing their research and support or opposition.

To learn more about civic engagement at North Central Missouri College, visit www.ncmissouri.edu or contact faculty members Maryellen Harman or Dr. Sterling Recker at 660-359-3948.
