Marching Band Event Is Oct 17

COVID-19 Numbers

Missouri Day Festival Plans Moving Forward Planning continues for events to be held during the 2020 Missouri Day Festival, which is scheduled to take place on Friday, Oct. 16 and Saturday, Oct. 17 in Trenton.

In a statement issued this week, Marching Festival officials said they are moving forward with the annual band competition, scheduled to take place on Saturday, Oct. 17.

While there are many unknowns regarding the COVID19 pandemic and how it might affect the event, efforts are under way to hold an event while keeping the safety of both participating schools and spectators in mind.

“2020 has proven difficult to plan anything,” the officials said in the statement. “This festival has always put stu-

dents first (and) 2020 is no different. We fully intend to work with local officials and participating schools to ensure a meaningful educational experience for students, directors and band families. “ Band festival officials said the Trenton R-9 School District has “graciously offered” use of its facilities to host the event and the committee “remains optimistic” about being able to hold the festival “as close to business as usual while maintaining a safe, conducive learning environment.”

Officials said communication regarding the marching festival has already begun among directors, festival committee members and music educators from throughout the state and that commitments

have been received from several schools. Should the festival need to be cancelled due to COVID-19, the committee will be notifying participating schools and issuing refunds to those schools that have paid their registration fees.

“We have an outstanding panel of adjudicators and a top-notch line-up of bands from the region planning to attend this year,” the statement said. “We hope to see (everyone) in Trenton for the 2020 Missouri Days Marching Festival.”

Trenton Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Debbie Carman said that as of now, other activities during the two-day Missouri Day Festival See Festival, Page 5

Highway Resurfacing Project Gets Under Way Resurfacing began this week on Highway 69 from Interstate 35 to Highway 6 and on Highway 6 from Highway 69 to the Muddy Creek Bridge just east of Highway 65 in Trenton.

The Missouri Department of Transportation has contracted with Emery Sapp & Sons, Inc. to complete the multi-stage project, which includes resurfacing and shoulder improvements throughout the project limits and rehabilitation of sidewalks within the city of Trenton. The current planned schedule of work is: • May 7-End of August: Sidewalk rehabilitation within the city of Trenton.

• July 9-July 24: Asphalt overlay on Highway 69 and Highway 6 from I-35 to Route V west of Jamesport (the roadway between Route V and Trenton will receive a different surface treatment under a separate contract).

• July 13-24: Signal work on Highway 6 at Harris Avenue in Trenton.

Back To Sc cho ool Surve ey The Trenton R-9 School District is asking parents/guardians to provide their input to help district personnel make plans for the start of the 2020-21 school year this fall.

A survey appears on the R-9 School District website (www.trentonr9.k12.mo.us) as well as on the Trenton school app, both under the news tab. Parents have until Wednesday, July 15 to fill out the survey, which contains nine questions, and district officials are encouraging all parents/guardians to take time to answer the questions.

The district is seeking information regarding student attendance, re-opening scenarios (face-to-face, remote or a combination), safety precautions (teacher/student masks, social distancing, limitation of large group activities, etc.), preschool and K-12 transportation, Internet access and availability of electronic devices for distance learning.

The Grundy County Commission opened bids for a bridge replacement project during a meeting held on Tuesday morning.

According to information provided by the Presiding Commissioner Phillip Ray, five bids were opened for construction of a bridge on Southwest 80th Street. The project had been estimated to cost $492,806, but all of the bids came in higher. The low bid of $520,897.05, was submitted

by Decker Services of Lathrop. Other bids included: Widel Incorporated of Blackwater, $522,562.62; Boone Construction Company of Columbia, $559,571.13; Brookfield Box and Bridge of Brookfield, $565,078.75; and MS Contracting of Brookfield, $613,401.72.

Project engineer Shannon Howe of Howe Company, which had provided the earlier estimate, was present for the opening of the bids and noted all submitting firms did supply a bid bond with their packets. Howe will review the bids this week and will come back with a recommendation at next week’s meeting. A total of 80 percent of the project cost will be paid for with state and federal funds while the remaining 20 percent will be paid for with county funds.

Several reports were give.

The road and bridge crew indicated work is continuing on FEMA projects, with the bridge deck repair located on Southeast 98th Avenue completed. Repairs are under way to repair back wall erosion on a bridge located on Northeast Talc Lane and crews will be adding fill around a large culvert on Northwest 60th as a result of flooding incurred in 2019. That damage has been submitted to FEMA for funding approval.

Planning is under way for the 2020 countywide disaster preparedness drill, which will explore the response of local officials and agencies to a hazardous materials incident. Annual exercises are required by the Center for Medicaid Services for any entity that receives Medicaid funding.

Ambulance Director Steve Tracy reported information is being gathered to replace cardiac monitors for county ambulances.

The existing monitors are at the end of their service life and will require replacement in the near future.

In other reports, commissioners learned from the Grundy County Health Department that the county has recorded its first COVID-19related death. It was also noted Ray took part in a Next Generation 911 Grant Compliance Workshop. Items discussed included audit requirements, procurement See County, Page 5

THE MAHOMES EFFECT From Bottled Water To Private Jets, MVP’s Impact Is Far Ranging SETH HERROLD @HERROLDTIMES

Last week on the way back from my son’s firstever dentist appointment, the family pulled into the Hy-Vee gas station on 291 in Liberty. Being COVID times and all, I was the lone person to mask up and venture inside. The wife asked for a water, so I went in and upon returning to the car, I handed her an Essentia water. “Why did you get this kind?� she asked.

I explained I got her that particular brand of water for the same reason I was wearing Adidas shoes and my first-ever pair of grown-up sunglasses - Oakley’s.

She rolled her eyes, knowing that like Adidas and Oakley, Patrick Mahomes must endorse Essentia water.

He does.

I don’t remember how expensive that bottle of water was, It wasn’t as far north as Fiji, but it was definitely above the HyVee brand. I will admit in that moment I didn’t really look at the price, because when I saw it and remembered Mahomes’ Instagram post complete with the “paid partnership with Essentia Water,� I was buying it.

I call it the ‘Mahomes Effect’ and it is sweeping not just myself and this particu-

lar area, but the nation as well.

Doing what Mahomes has done in just two years as the starting quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs does a lot of things. It gets you a 10-year extension, creating a 12-year deal worth $503 million. It also makes you the face of the NFL. Mahomes already had deals with Essentia, Oakley, Adidas, State Farm, Hy-Vee, Nebraska Furniture Mart, Airshare Private Jets and Helzberg Diamonds - and others I’m sure (those are just the ones I could think of off the top of my head) - before he got the contract extention that blew up the sports headlines this week. Obviously he is marketable and that marketability is earning him a lot more money on top of his potential windfall contract.

But Mahomes’ power was never more evident than about a month ago when he was featured in a video produced by the NFL Players Association, addressing the owners about the Black Lives Matter movement. Suddenly, an issue the owners had swept aside years earlier was important to them. In one report I read, an NFL executive said Mahomes’ appearance in the video was the game changer.

A 24-year-old kid who has only started for two years has the loudest voice in the league. He is more than the face of the Chiefs’ franchise - he is the face of the entire league. He is pressing LeBron James for most famous athlete in America status and, some say, has the makings of the next Michael Jordan.

What is the most bizarre thing in all of this to me is that he plays in Kansas City

for the team I’m a fan of. In all the years I have cheered for the Royals and Chiefs, never did I think any of my teams would have a superstar like this on the roster.

Here is Mahomes, though, delivering for a team for which I have cheered many years - a team I wasn’t sure would ever win a Super Bowl - as much as any fan could ask for. He gave owner Clark Hunt the trophy with his dad’s name on it. He gave this franchise and this city another world championship. He is the most exciting and entertaining athlete I have ever watched perform.

So when I’m in a gas station for a bottle of water, I will probably pay a little extra to get the Essentia. A staunch Under Armour supporter will buy a pair of Adidas shoes as long as they have his name on them. I’ll buy my groceries at Hy-Vee over Walmart.

The Mahomes Effect is in full force, man. For now, though, I might hold off renting an Airshare jet for my next trip.

The recommendations are: Read: The Boys Of Summer by Roger Kahn. This recommendation comes from our editor Diane Lowrey, who said it would get people in the mood for the upcoming baseball season. She’s not wrong.

Watch: Sporting Kansas City plays its first match in the MLS Is Back Tournament, facing Minnesota United on Sunday.

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. on ESPN. Eat: The pina colada shake from Fueled Up Nutrition here in Trenton is the best thing I have had in a while. You need to try it.

Follow the food.

That is the mantra of moles as they follow their favorite food, earthworms, and tunnel throughout your yard. A molehill creates an upheaval of soil surrounding a vertical tunnel shaft, which often occurs after big rains, that is an exit point for moles to get some air, says University of Missouri Extension turf pathologist Lee Miller. Both tunnels and molehills can trap falling worms and serve as fast-food drivethru lanes for moles.

Three main controls exist for moles, Miller says. 1. Repellents. Give the moles to your neighbor. Many repellents sold at nurseries and garden centers contain castor bean oil. Control can last one to three months, but rain or irrigation often shortens control.

Follow label directions.

2. Baits. These prove effective, particularly ones that are shaped—and some even claim to be flavored—like earthworms. Wear rubber gloves when handling to protect yourself and avoid putting your own scent on the bait. Keep children and pets away from the rodenticide. Follow label directions carefully.

3. Trapping. This remains the most effective and efficient means of control. Several trap types exist. Among the more effective types are scissor-type traps. They can be stepped on to open trap along the runway.

A plate on top enables the scissors to snap shut when the mole pushes soil back up against it.

Persons can learn more in the Missouri Environment & Garden article “What a Season for Moles and Voles!� at ipm.missouri.edu/MEG/2011/ 10/What-a-Season-for-Molesand-Voles.

Casey and Dr. Jennifer Bowe of Laredo also recently re-enrolled in the AAA whole-herd reporting system, MaternalPlus, as a commitment to making genetic improvements in lifetime cow herd productivity. The program is a voluntary, inventory-based system that collects additional reproductive trait data to provide Angus breeders and their customers with information needed to make effective selection decisions.

Extension News

by Andy Luke Field Specialist In Agronomy POTATO LEAFHOPPERS Potato leafhoppers have been found in area alfalfa fields lately.

Farmers should scout their fields to see if this damaging insect is present.

Potato leafhoppers are tiny insects that feed on more than 100 plant species including soybeans, clovers, alfalfa and apples. They do not overwinter in Missouri, but arrive on jet streams from southern states and Mexico. Once they make it to Missouri, we often get two to three generations of potato leafhoppers per year.

Damage from potato leafhoppers occurs when both adults and nymphs are feeding. The tiny, pale green insect has piercing-sucking mouthparts that penetrate alfalfa leaflets and remove plant juices, causing yellowing of the established plants.

The yellowing generally begins as wedge-shaped yellow areas on the leaf tips, but can expand to turn the entire leaf yellow. In heavy infestations, the entire

field can exhibit a yellow appearance.

The best way to scout for potato leafhopper is using a sweep net. The adults are approximately 1/8 of an inch, so spotting them in the field can be difficult.

Take 10 pendulum sweeps at five random locations in the field, then average the number of potato leafhopper adults and nymphs per sweep to use in the treatment threshold table.

The economic threshold in alfalfa for treatment of potato leafhoppers is based on hay value, control costs and the size of the alfalfa. Several insecticides are labeled for leafhopper control, but fields can be re-infested by insects from neighboring fields. If the alfalfa is nearing harvest, cutting it will disrupt the life cycle of the feeding nymphs who will starve or be destroyed before regrowth occurs. It is important to start scouting 7 to 10 days after each cutting to monitor for re-infestations, though.

Cole Murphy of Houstonia exhibited the champion crossbred gilt at the National Junior Swine Show, held on Tuesday, July 7 at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines, IA. Murphy also had the fifth-place gilt in the judging event, which was held in conjunction with the National Swine Registry Summer Type Conference. He is the son of Brent and DeEtta Murphy and the grandson of Roger and Linda Antle of Trenton.

Conditions Right For Ergot This Year University of Missouri Extension specialists warn livestock producers to be on the lookout for ergot this year.

A cool, cloudy and wet spring with a prolonged flowering period was followed by high temperatures and humidity, setting the stage for infection, says Tim Schnakenberg, field specialist in agronomy.

Ergot is a fungal disease of the seed heads of grasses and cereal crops. Ergot bodies in seed heads produce toxic alkaloids that can cause severe illness and death in cattle, horses, small ruminants, llamas, alpacas and swine. The toxins are chemically related to LSD. Humans also can become ill if they eat infected rye or wheat.

Wind transfers overwintering ergot bodies (sclerotia) in the soil to susceptible plants, including tall fescue, orchardgrass, smooth bromegrass, timothy, perennial ryegrass, millet, rye, triticale, wheat, oats and barley. Ergot can also infect native warm-season grasses.

Affected cattle may become excitable and show signs that mimic respiratory disease. In severe cases, reduced blood flow can lead to

gangrene, irregular blood temperatures, reproductive failure and abortion.

Schnakenberg says farmers and ranchers should watch pastures for infection, especially in tall fescue fields. Infected seed heads initially look like yellow honeydew on the heads. This develops into darkened, hornlike ergot bodies that are up to 10 times the size of the grain.

They look like mouse droppings.

Producers should immediately move livestock from infected pastures. Another option is to clip pastures. This lets infected seeds drop to the ground, where cattle are less apt to eat them.

Dilute infected harvested hay with other feed.

Producers frequently ask Schnakenberg if this toxin is the same toxin produced internally by an endophyte in Kentucky 31 tall fescue. The source of the infection is very different, he says, but both produce ergot alkaloids. “The toxin infection with ergot is much greater compared to fescue toxicosis.�

Novel-endophyte fescue is not immune to ergot problems. Internal sources of ergot alkaloids are reduced but the external infection source from ergot can be just as toxic.

Five Points

by Wendell Lenhart

Where Are We Headed?

Just when we thought we were making headway against COVID-19, it has returned in a big way. Infection rates are rising in the most populus parts of the country.

While we have seen an increase in our numbers, they certainly haven’t spiked like we’ve seen elsewhere. It’s great to live where we do.

It’s really hard to tell where we are going with this pandemic and when the end might come. What will it look like and how will we know when it’s here?

It’s a constant struggle to know when to let businesses open back up Wendell Lenhart and when to try to keep people at home so the virus will not spread.

The federal government has already implemented one stimulus package costing more than a $1 trillion, which included stimulus checks for most Americans and loans to small businesses to help keep persons on the payroll. Many local businesses took part in the Paycheck Protection Program, including ours, and it was a lifesaver.

Now there is talk in Congress of a $1.5 trillion infrastructure package as well as a second round of stimulus checks to individuals. Senators and representatives of both parties may bicker over what and how much to spend, but they all are in agreement to spend. And it’s money that we don’t have.

I know all this may be needed to help keep the economy moving, but the cost is going to be a problem at some point in our future. The Treasury Department borrowed over $3 trillion in the last three months alone.

And it’s only going to get worse. As the last of the baby boomers (that’s me) retires, the cost of Social Security and Medicare rise. The national debt could hit 125 percent of our gross domestic product in 10 years - a level not seen since World War II. Interest rates will stay low, but individuals and foreign governments will continue to hold a lot of our treasury notes.

At some point it will all have to be brought under control and I’m afraid it will be painful. Our current politicians will be long gone when that time comes and our children and grandchildren are going to be faced with drastic spending cuts and substantial tax increases.

I didn’t always pay attention in my college economics class, but the direction we’re headed financially worries me and I hope it concerns many others.

I’m afraid there are too many people who are glad to cash their government check and who are not concerned from where the money comes.

HIGHLIGHTS WITH HEGEMAN 12th District State Sen. Dan Hegeman Room 332, State Capitol Jefferson City, MO 65101 Phone: 573-751-1415 dan.hegeman@senate.mo.gov

MISSOURI GOES BACK TO WORK From my perspective, our state is slowly getting back to the way of life we knew before the COVID-19 pandemic overtook us. As our state enters the second phase of the governor’s “Show-Me Strong Recovery Plan,” all statewide COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted.

Stores and restaurants are reopening, employees are going back to work and some Missourians are starting to travel again. As our state begins the process of reopening, it also means the return of certain unemployment requirements that were lifted during the pandemic.

Starting this week, the Missouri Department of Labor and Industrial Relations is requiring people who receive unemployment benefits to actively look for work. This includes those who receive Unemployment Insurance, Pandemic Unemployment Assistance, Extended Benefits and Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation. An active work search includes filing out a job application or attending a job fair, job interview, re-employment service or skills workshop.

At the same time, DOLIR has reinstated the one-week waiting

period for filing a claim, which means a person who files for unemployment will not see benefits for one week after filing. Once that person is approved to receive benefits, the department will make up the one week’s difference on the claim’s final payment.

The department also reminds everyone to report any earnings and work refusals when they file an unemployment claim. People can learn more about these rules by going to labor.mo.gov or labor.mo.gov/coronavirus.

COVID-19 has done a lot of damage to our state, but Missourians are strong, and we want to get back to work. We can and we will, it will just take time and patience. As our state moves forward, I have every confidence we will see good news regarding our state’s economy in the weeks to come.

As always, please feel free to call, email or write with your ideas or concerns. My capitol office number is 573-751-1415, my email address is dan.hegeman@senate.mo.gov and my mailing address is Room 332, State Capitol Building, Jefferson City, MO 65101.

A Simple Question

by Phill Brooks, Director Missouri Digital News This column is prompted by a simple question asked of the governor at one of his news conferences.

Missouri had reached a peak level of COVID-19 infections.

Guest Editorials That record was set after Missouri Gov. Mike Parson relaxed state restrictions that were designed to reduce virus transmission.

It led to a simple question to the governor: "Do you feel any personal responsibility for the people who have been infected and don't recover after you chose to reopen the state?"

The governor denied feeling responsible.

But in a tactic used by Pres. Donald Trump, Parson attacked the reporter.

"I don't even know where you come up with that question of personal responsibility as governor of the state of Missouri when you're talking about a virus. You know, that's no different than the flu virus or do I feel guilty because we have car accidents and people die every day.

No I don't feel guilty about that."

But COVID-19 is something far more serious than the typical seasonal flu. And, highway safety is part of his administration's responsibilities, including promotion of seat belt use.

To be candid, I would have phrased the question differently, asking "was it a mistake to open so early or not scale back when infection rates began to increase."

But the reporter's question had a legitimate foundation.

As some states have demonstrated, not rushing to re-open business made a difference. And some states restored restrictions after infection rates rose.

Besides denying responsibility for COVID-19 infection rates, Parson then engaged in a deflection by badgering the reporter about her personal responsibility.

"I could ask the same thing for the media. Maybe you don't do a goodenough job really telling the people the facts. Do you feel responsible for that...do you feel responsible if you say things that people don't agree with or things that might harm somebody?"

I confess, that as a former journalism faculty member, I was upset listening to his hostile response to a younger colleague.

However, I was impressed by her journalistic courage pursuing the question which embodied a number of issues facing the administration: Given the horrific pictures of jammed crowds at Lake of the Ozarks, is there more the state could do to restrict infection-spreading gatherings?

Should the order restricting crowds at restaurants and other businesses be restored?

Why does the governor refuse to wear a face mask when so many health experts argue that face masks are an important step to reduce the spread of COVID-19?

Would wearing a face mask be a demonstration for the public?

The harshness of Parson's response surprised me. I've always found him to be a polite and respectful person.

It made me wonder if his response reflected his frustrations, which I fully understand.

This disease has wrecked the economy in the months before Par son faces re-election.

Without a vaccine or guaranteed cure for COVID-19, there are no easy answers on how to balance economic recovery with health pro tection.

Finally, I'm sure there are many Missourians upset by the Parson ad ministration's initial restrictions.

To the governor's credit, he did answer some of these issues in a subsequent news conference.

But humiliating a reporter is not an answer.

As for Parson's question to the re porter, journalists always feel re sponsible to assure accurate stories with enough depth and context as possible.

Frequently, we do wish we had more time and space for our stories And, yes, journalists make mis takes. I have. Journalism is a pursui of humans who are not perfect.

But we admit our mistakes promptly correct them and try to learn from our errors to avoid a rep etition.

For reporters relatively new to the intimidating environment of the state house, I'd urge the governor to seek to inspire not badger or humiliate.

That's what governors like Warren Hearnes and Kit Bond did when began covering the statehouse, de spite my reputation for blunt and ag gressive questions -- like the perfectly legitimate question asked of Parson that prompted his out burst.

What Others Are Saying...

Work Search Rule

Missourians who lost their jobs due to the pandemic could receive a jolt today when the Missouri Department of Labor reimposes rules that require a work search in order to receive unemployment benefits.

Those rules had been waived as the coronavirus drove the economy into recession and new claims for unemployment benefits surged.

Guest Editorials Now, many who are laid off will need to perform three work search activities — things like filing an application on an employment site, doing a job interview or attending a skills workshop — in order to receive benefits.

The state also reimposes a waiting week for new claims and a charge on employer accounts for unemployment claims.

It’s not a small matter. The state has already paid more than $2 billion in unemployment claims during the COVID-19 pandemic as Missouri’s unemployment rate reached 10%.

In Buchanan County, 2,293 initial claims for unemployment benefits were filed in all of 2019. In the last three months, 6,382 Buchanan County residents filed an initial claim. That’s quite a spike, one that has contributed to a state unemployment insurance trust fund that’s narrowed from $1 trillion in January to $698 million at the year’s midway point.

So the state certainly has its reasons for taking a harder line with workers who want to receive benefits.

The work activity exemption needed to expire at some point, the question is why now?

It would be a good question for the Missouri Department of Labor & Industrial Relations, but officials in Jefferson City weren’t answering questions. They instead referred callers to the department website.

In St. Joseph, the Missouri Job Center at 22nd Street and Frederick Avenue remained closed last week amid the pandemic. We would suggest that if it’s time to eliminate the work rule waiver, then perhaps it’s time to open up the office for those seeking help with employment.

State Sen. Tony Luetkemeyer provided some insight.

He told our reporter that unemployment checks, which include a $600 federal supplement, can provide a disincentive to returning to work. Give him credit for coming to the phone — something state officials refused to do — but something tells us that those who lost work during the pandemic would much rather be on the job than on the dole.

Social service agencies sometimes run tabletop exercises to give the general public a glimpse of life in poverty.

It’s a well-meaning but fake endeavor. For many Missourians, filing for unemployment and dealing with the lack of answers, the bureaucracy and the closed doors might be the closest approximation of what those in poverty experience on a daily basis.

Let’s hope Missouri labor officials are a little more helpful with those who really need their help in the long run.

COMMUNITY / LOCAL Southside Farm Club Holds Meeting The June 17 meeting of the Southside Farm Club was hosted by Janice Belvel, gathering on the patio at the home of Marie Dolan.

In celebration of Flag Day and Independence Day, a patriotic theme of red, white and blue was carried out in the table and patio decorations.

The prayer was offered by Jacky Mack.

Members brought their own sack lunches with individual ice cream desserts being provided by the hostess.

President Sue Brewer opened the meeting and roll call was answered by members telling “What was in Your Sack Lunch?� A thank you note was read from Mrs. Mack in appreciation for the flowers and other acts of kindness shown to her at the time of the illness and death of her husband, Wallace Mack. Donations to the food pantry and to the flower fund were collected. The flower fund report was given and cards of best wishes were signed. It was decided to once again contribute $25 to the Grundy County Breast Cancer Support Group in accordance with the club’s by-laws.

Babette Hill was the recipient of the hostess gift and Marti Campbell guessed the mystery package. Following the meeting, Bingo was played with winners being presented with useful kitchen and household items.

Members will be notified of the location of the next meeting.

Festival

will also be going on as scheduled. “We are moving forward with this year’s festival while keeping in mind the safety of those taking part in the various activities,� Ms. Carman said.

Several events are being planned for the festival and will be announced as they are finalized. She said applications continue to be received from vendors wanting to be a part of the festival activities and encourages anyone wanting to have a space in the vendor area to contact the chamber office.

Ms. Carman also said she was excited that the band festival committee was moving forward with its plans to have the band competition as part of this year’s Missouri Day schedule of activities. “We are so glad that the marching band festival committee is working to have a competition again this year and we certainly support and encourage their efforts,� she said.

Should the festival need to be cancelled because of health concerns, Ms. Carman said the public will be notified as quickly as possible. “Any changes we may have to make, we certainly will make the public aware as soon as we know,� she said. “But for now, we are moving ahead.�

Dear Annie: My husband is in his late 50s and works in road construction. Every time that he is assigned to a job that lasts at least six to eight weeks, he always seems to start trying to pick up a female co-worker, usually in the age range of 25 to 35. He will buy them cigarettes and lunch and drinks and is super sweet to them. He texts them all day and always tells them how beautiful they looked that day. And to every single one of these women, he at some point says: "Ever since I've met you, I've really come out of my shell. Thank you."

I have tried to talk to him about it, but he just denies it every time, even as I quote to him the text messages verbatim.

He doesn't know how I know that he does this. (I won't reveal my method here.) I don't know if it is something to worry about. Am I just overreacting?

To me, it seems like emotional abuse.

I have to know, Annie, should I stay with him or dump his sorry butt? -- Confused Dear Confused: If only he really were sorry; that's the crux of the issue. He doesn't seem to have a shred of remorse. Tell

Dear Annie: What is the social protocol during a FaceTime call? For example, when a nonparticipating family member walks past the camera frame during the FaceTime call, should the viewer acknowledge the family member or simply continue the conversation without any acknowledgment? -New to This Dear New to This: There's no protocol here, but I believe a wave and a smile are always appropriate. This allows the passerby an opportunity to stop and chat more if they'd like, without putting any pressure on them to do so.

person, and I enjoy people.

When I check on my neighbors either through a phone call, a quick visit over the fence or taking over a piece of warm cake, they seem to care less. Especially an older couple across the street. The husband reminded me that his kin live in the neighborhood, and they help them out when needed.

Oddly, I really don't see his kin over there much. They all work and seem really busy. I get lonely myself, but when I attempt to reach out to older neighbors, they seem a bit aloof. I'm very careful not to infringe on their personal time, and I don't show up unannounced. Remind your readers we all can use an extra friend or two, and you never know who you might need in an emergency. Thanks for letting me vent. -- A Neighbor in the South Dear Neighbor: Perhaps these neighbors get the sense you're condescending to them with your warmth, and so they act defensively. Hopefully, in time, as you make it clear that you'd like a good neighborly relationship in which you help one another, they'll come around. In the meantime, your letter reminds us all not to guess at one another's intentions or get too defensive when someone wants to help. We might be doing that person a favor by allowing them the chance.

Virus surge threatens travel recovery There is new concern that the recovery in U.S. air travel, which was already painfully slow, could stall as coronavirus infection rates climb.

Air travel plunged this spring, hitting rock bottom in mid-April as new daily reported cases of COVID-19 surged above 30,000 a day. Then, as spread of the virus seemed to level off or even decline, air travel slowly recovered.

Since early June, new virus cases have zoomed, topping 57,000 last Friday. For a while, air travelers didn’t seem to notice or care. On four out of five days in the past week, more than 700,000 people passed through airport checkpoints — a

level not seen since mid-March.

But Oliver Lamb, managing director of Ailevon Pacific Aviation Consulting, says airline clients tell his firm that bookings are slowing and cancellations are rising, especially for tourist destinations like Florida.

Most airlines won’t give numbers, but Frontier told employees this week that it's seeing a drop in bookings during the virus resurgence.

Lamb isn’t sure that air travel will fall back — it could be passengers taking advantage of relaxed cancellation policies — but airline stocks fell Tuesday.

More clarity may come when the carriers talk about demand during earnings calls later this month.

PUBLIC NOTICES

“because the people must know” (Editor’s Note: Public Notice advertising plays a unique role both in American history and in the process by which this country’s democracy is preserved. Its one premise is that people must be informed if they are to govern themselves competently. Public Notice advertising first came into being with the Congress of 1792. That body, recognizing its responsibility to the people, required the Postmaster General to advertise for bids for the construction of new post offices. From that inauspicious beginning to the complex publication requirements in federal, state and local laws today, government officials have come more and more to understand their obligations to inform the public through Public Notice advertising. Newspapers over the years have been the vehicle by which these obligations have been fulfilled. They will continue to be as long as the public demands that it be informed frequently and by the best means possible.)

Chillicothe Cuts School Budget The Chillicothe R-2 Board of Education last week approved its 2020-21 budget which included $500,000 in cuts.

According to the Chillicothe Constitution-Tribune, the cuts included elimination of two bus routes and preschool transportation as well as field trips, sponsors for academic clubs and teams, freezing salaries and cuts in supply costs. Between $250,000 to $260,000 was saved by not filling all employee vacancies or replacing those who had left the district with an employee at a lower rate of pay. Superintendent Dan Wiebers said the board needs to be prepared for additional cuts should more state and federal funding withholds be made due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

A request from the Salary and Welfare Committee to increase general leave days from 10 to 12 days with two weeks notice, which would have cost the district around $30,000 was not approved. However, the board did agree to allow staff use of general leave the day before or after a holiday with two weeks notice and the availability of a substitute for that time. The board tabled a request to revise the policy regarding the order of college hours and degrees so that research could be done to check the financial impact to the district. Substitute teachers will be able to eat breakfast and lunch at no cost on the days they work.
