School Play Overcame COVID Obstacle

Candidate Forum Announced

Hallmarks Of Horror Finally Performed In Dec.

Editor’s Note: The Trenton Republican-Times has teamed up with the Trenton High School journalism class to work with students as they write news and feature stories, some of which will be published in the R-T. This is the first story to be printed in the R-T through the new program. by Serenity Marsh Trenton High School “Hallmarks of Horror” is a play on the structure of almost every scary movie you’ve ever seen. But it is safe to say that there was no predicting the nightmare of 2020. COVID-19 was truly a punch in the face, causing the Trenton High School Drama Club’s performance to be postponed almost five months. Though the students were still able to perform the play successfully in December, a number of challenges presented itself. It was hard to find a proper location and especially difficult to work around quarantine, but the future is bright for the drama club as they look forward to some new additions to the school. Finding a place to hold the play was a lot harder than it was expected to be. The drama club originally used the Hoover The-

atre at the local library to perform, but due to COVID they were unable to practice there. This was one of the most stressful obstacles that the club faced, because they had no idea where the play was going to be held. “We definitely had the challenge of finding a location to use. Where we thought we would be didn’t work out so we were able to find a stage to make it work,” Drama Teacher Tashyana Dowell stated. The drama students then moved to the elementary school gym which created problems of its own. The stage wasn't very big and there was very little space to work with. There were

a lot of problems designing the backdrop for the play and making it look good, considering they had very little time. Club members even shared the elementary school gym with the cheerleaders, which made it hard for both them, and the cheer squad, to concentrate. Many drama students were also unable to attend practices, and even the actual performance, because of COVID. This made it hard to see the play come together. It was difficult to find time to practice with everyone, which put the cast behind schedule quite a bit. They even postponed the play again for several weeks due to the

majority of the cast being quarantined! Sophomore Lydia Leininger was unable to attend opening night and had to be replaced on such a short notice. “...COVID affected me personally a lot because I had a part in the play and I ended up getting quarantined for the performance..,” Lydia said. Mrs. Dowell had junior Joseph Pattison fill in for Lydia just a week before the performance. This created a lot of stress for him and the other cast members. They all had to make adjustments and work very hard to make do with what they were given. [See HALLMARKS, Page 5]

Roy Blunt Won’t Seek Senate Re-Election Missouri Senator Is Fifth Republican To Decide Not To Run

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Republican Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri will not seek a third term in the U.S. Senate, he said Monday in a surprise announcement. Blunt, who turned 71 in January, was widely expected to seek a third term in 2022. Before election to the Senate he served seven terms in the U.S. House. He also served two

BRIEFS

terms as Missouri's secretary of state from 1985 to 1993. “In every job Missourians have allowed me to have, I’ve tried to do my best,” Blunt said in his announcement made via video. "In almost 12,000 votes in the Congress, I’m sure I wasn’t right every time, but you really make that decision based on the information you have at the time. “After 14 General Election victories — three to county office, seven to the United States House of Representatives, and four statewide elections — I won’t be a candidate for reelection to the United States Senate next year," he said. Blunt is the No. 4 in Senate

Republican leadership and is the fifth Senate Republican to decide against running for reelection in 2022. The others are Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, Rob Portman of Ohio, Richard Shelby of Alabama and Richard Burr of North Carolina. Two other Republicans — Sens. Charles Grassley of Iowa and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin — have not yet said whether they plan to seek reelection. The open seats will set up contested primaries likely to highlight divisions between farright, Trump-aligned Republicans and the old guard. In Ohio, Pennsylvania and North Carolina, in particular, Democrats have hopes of winning seats.

Any such hopes are muted in Missouri, which was for decades a swing state but has moved decidedly conservative in recent elections. Several Republicans are likely to seek Blunt’s vacated post. They could include former Gov. Eric Greitens, who resigned amid a sex scandal and ethics investigations in 2018. Greitens told a St. Louis radio interviewer last week he was “evaluating” a run, even before Blunt’s announcement. Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe could also run. In a statement, he praised Blunt’s half-century of service to Missouri. “A history teacher and the [See BLUNT, Page 5]

State-Bound Bulldogs Bringing Some Experience Trenton Wrestlers Eyeing Medals, Titles At State

For the second year in a row, the Trenton Bulldogs are sending five wrestlers to the state tournament. But, while the number is the same, the group of Bulldogs bound for state feels quite a bit different. That has nothing to do with the tournament moving from its traditional location at Mizzou Arena in Columbia to the Cable-Dahmer Arena in Independence. It’s not because the normal three-day event is being condensed to a single Wednesday. It has everything to do with experience. Last year’s five wrestlers bound for state included one senior, a sophomore and three freshmen. The sophomore and two of the freshmen are back as returning state qualifiers. Now-junior Caleb Johnson and sophomore Hunter McAtee are going back to state as defending state medalists. Coleman Griffin is also returning to state - a year older, a year stronger, a year wiser. This year’s group also includes one senior - Brice Gibler. All he has done in the last month is go from a hopeful state qualifier into a state medal contender. Sam Gibson, a sophomore, rounds out Trenton’s group of five. “This year I feel like we have gained more experience,” Trenton coach Charlie Bacon said. “Three of our five have had a year under their belts at the state tournament and had a chance to see what it was all about last year. I think all five of our guys have a great opportunity to go out and get a state medal.” For McAtee, maybe Trenton’s strongest hope for a state title, the path to the top of the podium might be the toughest. Due to a big upset at sectionals McAtee’s first match at state will likely come against Centralia’s Brayden Dubes. Dubes is one of only three

COLEMAN GRIFFIN is headed back to the state tournament. After going 0-2 at state as a freshman, Griffin will be looking to secure his first career state tournament victory when the event kicks off on Wednesday at the Cable-Dahmer Arena in Independence.

to the last time we wrestled (Dubes), but didn’t finish. So finishing our takedowns in the neutral position is key. The last time we wrestled I felt like Hunter was looking for a reversal on bottom rather than getting to our feet and getting the escape. We can’t be greedy and we have to be focused on getting to our feet and not giving up any back points. If Hunter does those things, he will win the match.” Johnson will have to wrestle an extra match after falling to Hamilton’s Fisher Nixdorf in the sectional final at 220. Still, his road to a state final might be easier than McAtee’s. If Johnson can get past West Platte’s Lamar Henderson, a wrestler with a 23-13 overall record, in the first round, he will get Centralia’s Sam Lynn, whom Johnson pinned at the Brookfield Tournament. A repeat of that performance would put Johnson into the semifinals where he would face another opponent he has already defeated this year in Brookfield’s Trace Alexander, or a wrestler with seven or more losses this season in Richmond’s Larry Pinniston (24-7) or Adrian’s William

state for the majority of the season and was the District 2 champion at 113, holding a 390 record on the season at the time. But, at sectionals, Dubes inexplicably dropped his first match-up of the day by a 9-6 decision to Lane Kimbley, who was third in District 2 just two weeks earlier. Kimbley went on to take the section title and the first-round bye at state that it assured. Dubes, meanwhile, angrily pinned two foes to place third. He now has a firstround match-up with Richmond’s Ricky Russ at state and the winner will advance to face McAtee, who received a first round bye due to his own section championship. McAtee will more than likely have to avenge his loss in Brookfield to keep his hopes of a state title alive. One loss for any wrestler at state takes them out of the state title picture leaving them with a thirdplace medal as the highest possible outcome. “To beat the Dubes kid, Hunter is going to have to be offensive on his feet and look for his takedown,” Bacon said. “Hunter has a really good single-leg (takedown) that he got

Brown (15-9). “I feel like Caleb is set up really well,” Bacon said. “There are about four kids in that bracket who are very evenly matched, but Caleb wrestles really well in big matches so I feel like he has the edge. If he wrestles as well as he did last year in the state tournament he has a very good chance at a run at the finals and even the championship.” At 24-9, Gibler’s overall season record isn’t as intimidating as some other marks in his bracket. What should concern any opponent Gibler faces is the fact that the Trenton senior has saved the best wrestling of his career for last. Gibler has been at his best the last month, winning district and sectional titles along the way. Palmyra’s Collin Arch, at 17-0, is the odds-on favorite in the weight class, but Gibler wouldn’t see Arch on the championship side of the bracket until the finals. “It’s like Brice is just putting everything he has ever learned in the wrestling room to use the last month,” Bacon said. “He has found a takedown that he is very good at, is getting up off of bottom and has been

very tough on top. Brice is also a very smart wrestler who doesn’t give up points that he shouldn’t - in other words - he is very conservative. He likely won’t score a ton of points each match, but he is really good at winning close matches by a few points, which is going to be crucial at the state tournament.” Griffin is making his second straight trip to the state tournament and the sophomore will be looking to get his first win at state after going 0-2 last season. Having that state experience will help and his first opportunity to get into the win column will come in the first round against Central New Madrid’s Jakob Wilcox. Griffin is 27-5 overall on the season with three of his five losses coming to Gallatin’s Rodell Sperry. Griffin wouldn’t see Sperry until a potential state championship match, but the Trenton 152pounder has plenty to worry about before that point including potential quarterfinal foe Conner Johnston of Knob Noster, who is 35-3 on the season, and potential semifinal opponent Colton Kirkham of MidBuchanan, who owns one of the other two wins over Griffin this season. “Last year I feel like Coleman was a little bit overwhelmed by the experience,” Bacon said. “After getting a year under his belt I feel like Coleman is ready to make a run at a state medal. He has been very consistent all year long and has looked very good, which should give him the confidence this year to go out and take care of business.” Gibson will be making his first career trip to state, but needed overtime to get to the premier wrestling tournament of the year. He defeated Gallatin’s Gage Wright on the ultimate tiebreaker in the third-place match at the sectional tournament. His firstround match-up at state will come against Chris Corley of Tipton - a senior wrestler with a 30-9 record on the year. Christopher Bryant of the Missouri Military Academy, who is 20-0 on the season, awaits the winner in the quarterfinals. The 182 bracket is stacked with six wrestlers boasting four or fewer losses. “I was so happy for Sam when he fought his way through such a tough bout in the sectional third-place match,” Bacon said. “The 182 bracket is very good, however, making it through our section, which I feel like was the toughest, Sam has a really good shot at picking up a state medal. I have also told the kids to not pay attention to all of the good records on their brackets. I feel like we wrestle a tougher schedule than most and that records really don’t mean a whole lot when you get to the state tournament.” The single-day Class 1 Tournament in Independence will begin at 9:15 on Wednesday with the national anthem and grand march. First round matches will follow at 9:30. The state championship matches will close out the day at 6:30 p.m.

Charges are pending in an accident investigated Feb. 13 by the Trenton Police Department in which a truck left the roadway and struck a Ninth Street business. According to Trenton Police Sgt. Matt Preston’s accident report, the mishap occurred when a truck driven by Braden Spicher of Trenton was eastbound on Ninth Street near the intersection with Custer Street, traveling over the posted 25 mile per hour speed limit. Spicher said that as he came around a curve in the road, he lost control of the vehicle, which began to go sideways. It crossed the center of the road, struck a curb and then crossed the sidewalk, striking Harvest Moon, which is located at 209 E. Ninth St. Spicher said he then put the vehicle in reverse and backed into the street and left the scene westbound on Ninth Street. After being identified later, Spicher and a passenger, Stephen Hartsook, also of Trenton, told Sgt. Preston that Spicher then drove a few blocks away from the accident

A warrant was also issued for Hartsook, who is charged with the class E felony of leaving the scene of an accident (property damage exceeding $1,000) and driving while revoked or suspended-second or third offense, a class A misdemeanor. TPD also investigated two other accidents recently. According to Officer Jenn Grider’s report, Jessica Sanchez of Chillicothe went to the TPD on March 5, reporting that she was stopped in traffic headed northbound at the intersection of Ninth and Main streets. A vehicle in front of her, which she could only describe as a red truck, had stopped for the traffic light and then rolled back and struck the front of her vehicle. The truck then left the scene.

Spicher also admitted to the vehicle having some known mechanical problems and that he did not have his license plate properly displayed. In addition to head and neck trauma, Spicher sustained facial injuries, specifically to the nose. Hartsook also sustained head trauma. Neither man sought medical treatment. The building sustained significant structural damage, damage to a door and to a large window. The owner listed in the accident report is Jeremy Esry. As of Monday morning, a warrant had been issued for Spicher charging him with a class E felony of leaving the scene of an accident (property damage exceeding $1,000), class A misdemeanors of operating a motor vehicle in a careless and imprudent manner, involving an accident, and fail-

There was minor damage to the front of the Sanchez vehicle, with no injuries reported to her or a passenger in her vehicle. On March 7, Officer Luke Dapra responded to an accident at the intersection of Bulldog Avenue and 10th Street. A vehicle driven by Kaden Owen of Trenton was westbound on 10th Street and turned southbound onto Bulldog Avenue, where his vehicle struck a vehicle driven by Karrie Watkins of Trenton, which was stopped at the stop sign. Owen said his view was obstructed by the pillar on his vehicle and that he turned too sharply, striking the Watkins vehicle. There was damage to the front driver’s side and wheel of the Owen vehicle and the front bumper and fender of the Watkins vehicle. Both vehicles were towed from the scene and there were no injuries in the accident. Owen was issued a ticket for making an improper turn.

“We lost a couple people right before the play and even though we missed them terribly, you know, Joey Pattison was able to learn a part in three days, and we all just thought he did fantastic with that,” Mrs. Dowell commented. One of the biggest additions to THS is a brand new Performing Arts Center! Setting aside the difficulties the drama club faced, the hope is that the students will have an amazing stage to call their very own. This will allow them to easily access a stage for all of the Club needs, and never have to worry about finding a comfortable location again. Not to mention, it holds approximately 500 people, which will increase the capacity of the performances tremendously! The drama students can't wait to use the PAC for future performances. Their next play is a humorous murder mystery that interacts with audience members and gives them an opportunity to be a part of the play themselves! “Til’ Death do us Part” is planned to be presented on May 30. “I am excited for the play we picked out and I’ll be excited to use this new stage,” Lydia stated. It is obvious that the Trenton High School Drama Club did not have it easy when it came to presenting “Hallmarks of Horror.” But even though they had to do the play five months later, with a small stage and minimal people, they still managed to make it absolutely amazing. They all worked so hard and pushed through the Horror of 2020 with smiles on their faces.

Putting Your Wedding Announcement in the Newspaper

Newspaper wedding announcements share the happy news of a couple's nuptials. Wedding announcements run after a wedding takes place. Regardless of the timing, wedding etiquette dictates the traditional and proper way to publish a wedding announcement in the newspaper. Function A notice in the newspaper is one of many options couples have to announce their wedding. A formal announcement in the newspaper is a traditional way to tell family, friends, your community who were not at the ceremony about the happy occasion.

Time Frame The time frame for publishing a wedding announcement can vary greatly depending on the couple and the newspaper. For instance, The New York Times governs its coverage of wedding ceremonies by the date of the formal event. The newspaper only reports on ceremonies that took place in the previous six days. Weddings that occur on a Sunday get reported on the actual day of the ceremony. Locally, you can contact the RepublicanTimes at 660-359-2212 or by email at rtimes@lyn.net for more information and to receive an engagment or wedding form. Geography Some couples, particularly those from different hometowns or with geographically dispersed families, publish announcements in several publications. There are even some couples who announce

their nuptials in alumni and professional newsletters. The announcement is typically accompanied by a black and white photo of the bride and groom on their wedding day. Considerations Traditionally, if the bride’s parents host the wedding, it is most appropriate for them to write the wedding announcement and manage the logistics of publishing it in the newspaper. However, it is also acceptable for the couple to make the announcement themselves, especially if they eloped. If a groom's family lives in a different city, etiquette calls for another newspaper announcement for his side of the family. Regardless of how many newspapers run an announcement, the bride’s family typically handles all the logistics of preparing and publishing the announcement. A groom's family announcing the marriage

is considered bad etiquette. Verbiage A marriage announcement’s messaging should include the full names of the couple, the date of their event and the time. Those crafting the message

may opt to include details about the couple's schooling, occupations, special achievements and charitable activities. Etiquette allows for the inclusion of details about how the couple met, the bride's dress, bouquet,

hometown and the couple's honeymoon plans. Should the space allow, the announcement can also list the names of the couple's parents, bridal party and the person who officiated the ceremony.

TRENTON REPUBLICAN-TIMES, TRENTON, MO.

Wedding Planners Share Craziest Things They've Seen

There’s a lot of potential for a wedding to go off the rails: You have open bars. Brides and grooms whose nerves are understandably on edge. And there’s usually that one wild-card family member whose behavior you can never predict. If you’re a wedding planner, you hold your breath and hope that things go smoothly. But when they don’t, hey, at least you’ve got some good stories to tell. Below, wedding planners from across the country share the most insane thing they’ve ever witnessed at a wedding. The Political Party The craziest thing I ever saw happen at a wedding was back in 2004. We had a wedding in the same venue as a political event. The country was very opinionated about the war and there was a loud group of protesters with megaphones outside the event and the wedding! I personally went out to try to negotiate with this mob and eventually got them to agree to turn off the megaphones for the duration of the ceremony. The governor of Florida at the time was

Jeb Bush, who was in attendance at the political event. When he heard what happened he asked if he could personally apologize to the bride and personally did!” Tracie Domino, wedding planner in St. Petersburg, Florida The Total Disaster “A few years ago we had a couple who got married during a hurricane. It was a bit of a comedy of errors on the wedding day, when the caterer backed out only hours before the ceremony started, and we had to quickly scramble to find a replacement who could serve up to 130 guests. We did find a new caterer, but the reception got cut short right after dinner, when a fallen tree knocked out the power in the venue. The most memorable part of the day, however, was that the bride was a police officer and the groom was an EMT, so when they realized their reception wasn’t to be, they decided instead to head out into the storm and help their fellow first responders!” Meagan Culkin of Magnolia Grove Weddings in Raleigh, North Carolina The Tumbling Groom

“I will never forget this ceremony! The florist was the sweetest little lady and set up these large urn arrangements full of flowers surrounding the ceremony site. Right before she left, she grabbed me and said, ‘Christi, make sure nothing happens to these urns!’ Being that they were all 3 to 5 feet tall, at the ceremony site, and away from any sort of party, I felt very confident in my reply, ‘Yes ma’am!’ But that was not the case! During the ceremony, right before the ‘I do’s’ I see the groom swaying back and forth, and one second later he faints! Falling back he lands on the urns and just like dominos, they a l l smashed to the ground one by one!” Christi Nasser of E p i c Thyme event

planning in Nevada City, California The Runaway Bride “I had a bride who on the day of her wedding decided to take some Xanax. Which would have been fine to calm her nerves but then she decided to drink Champagne all day with it. Well, it made her get totally paranoid and act crazy! She legit had me block her while running through the middle of the garden, ducking behind trees mind you no one was around except vendors and staff. Then she made it through the ceremony OK. But after the license was

signed, she locked herself in the bridal room. Her nowhusband, mom and bridesmaids couldn’t get her to open the door or come out. We had to invite the guests inside and move forward with salads. At this point I had to get the keys for the room and have it opened. She eventually came out and the rest of the night went fine until the end of the night: She was nowhere to be found. Turns out, she had the catering manager give her a ride home!” Tasha, wedding planner (who chose to withhold her name for privacy reasons) in Scottsdale, Arizona

The MIA Officiant “The couple had decided to have the groom’s uncle officiate the wedding but wanted it to be a surprise for the family, so they decided to play a little prank. When it was time to begin the ceremony, they had me awkwardly walk over and pretend to whisper to the groom standing at the altar that the officiant was a noshow. He and his best man pretended to be really upset and the groom exclaimed, ‘Wait what?! Does that mean we can’t get married?! What are we going to do?!’ I simply shook my head that they would not be officially married unless we could find someone to officiate the wedding. The guests started to murmur and some stood up to try to console the seemingly upset groom. Suddenly, someone cried out, ‘What about your uncle?! Can’t he marry you?!’ With that, his uncle looked around and stood up. Everyone started to cheer and we were able to start the ceremony. He later explained that it was all a part of the plan.” Kenia Gomez of Kenia Event Planning + Design in Tampa Bay, Florida.

AREA DEATHS Nema Wintress Martin Rowoth Nema Wintress Martin Rowoth, a 102-year-old Trenton resident, died Thursday, March 4, 2021, peacefully at home with family by her side. Graveside services were held at 2 p.m. today (Tuesday, March 9, 2021) at Honey Creek Chapel Cemetery. Nema was born Jan. 20, 1919 to Arnel and Josephine Bethards Martin on a farm southwest of Altamont, KS, where she grew up in the farming community, the oldest of three children. Nema was baptized at age 11 at the Baptist Church in Altamont. She graduated from Labette County High School in 1937. Nema attended Beauty School in Omaha, NE and worked in a beauty shop in Coffeyville, KS. Also while living in Kansas, Nema attended business college and worked in a bank in Parson, KS. When WWII started Nema, her mother and two sisters went to Wichita, KS to build war planes. She was one of the many ladies working at Boeing known as “Rosie the Riveter”. During the war Nema met Alfred Rowoth. (She went to Trenton to visit relatives and became acquainted with the Rowoth family.) Alfred and Nema’s love grew and they were married in Wichita on June 23, 1944 at the First Presbyterian Church. He preceded her in death. After WWII ended the couple settled in Trenton, where they joined the First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)

Shoe Project Is Rotary Topic

The Shoes for Orphan Souls project was the topic of the program presented at the Thursday, March 4 meeting of the Trenton Rotary Club, held in the BTC Community Room. Vice President Brian Upton presided at the meeting and was sergeant at arms. Dan Wilford gave the prayer. Diane Lowrey gave the program on the “shoes” project, which is in its 20th year. The Trenton club has participated in the district-wide project since its inception, collecting shoes for distribution to needy children throughout the world. An overall goal of 20,000 pair of shoes to be collected has been set by Rotary District 6040, with the shoes to be collected during a “caravan” to each of the district’s 56 clubs in May. Shoes collected this year have been designated for distribution to children in Honduras. The Trenton club has designated March as “Shoes Month” and set a goal of 200 pair of shoes, with members also encouraged to provide shoes to be donated to the local Bright Futures Trenton program as well. Members can bring their shoes to meetings during the month of March or contact Mrs. Lowrey to have the shoes picked up. Monetary donations will also be accepted. It was noted that the community can participate in the project as well, with donations to be left with Mrs. Lowrey. Cara McClellan will present the program at the March 11 club meeting, telling about 4KC Cottages being constructed by her family in north Trenton.

Local Farmers Making an Impact Farmers not only provide the necessities that are needed for us to survive but they also contribute to a strong U.S. economy. According to the Missouri Department of Agriculture there are 95,000 farms in Missouri that supply the stores around us with the fresh food we buy every day. However, when you take a closer look there are farmers all over our community who market their products locally in order to offer consumers fresh and local food. As a farmer who relies on local consumers to sell my product I understand the need for customers as well as local farmers in the community. Local farmers provide fresh fruits and vegetables at the peak of the growing season. The farmers that you see on the side of the road provide us with reasonable prices when buying their product while providing quality produce and meat for local consumers. These local farmers strive to make sure the people in the community are given a variety of options to include in their diet while taking into consideration customer feedback. Our local farmers are the hidden heroes in our community and we need to show them our appreciation. Every time you see a farmer in town selling their products, make sure to stop by and say thank you. The local farmers help improve our community in more ways than one. Help support the local farmers and just remember that the food you see on your plate could come from a local farm.

Dear Annie: My wife has a lover. When we married, I was promised that she was done with her lover. But she isn't. She sees this lover every day, and there is nothing I can do about it. After she's been with her lover, she is not interested in being around me. She can't, or won't, carry on a conversation and, when I try, she simply asks the same questions I've already answered or repeats herself over and over again. My wife has even brought her lover home with her. When her lover is with her, they spend hours in each other's company until she simply falls asleep on the couch with her lover. I have confronted my wife about her lover. She'll deny it. But the remnants of their affair are found in her car and around our house. They are in her eyes and her speech and her disconnect with me. When the evidence is overwhelming, she finally admits it. But despite my offers of help, of professing I will do anything to replace her lover, she keeps going back. I am powerless. My wife's lover is alcohol. She drinks more than a liter of wine at the house every day. She

drinks wine from cardboard and aluminum disposable containers on her way home from work. She tries to hide the empties, but I find them. She leaves the house to "run errands" and takes two or three hours for a simple trip to the grocery store. Then she comes back with watery and bloodshot eyes, slurring speech and an inability to hold a conversation. I try to do any activity I can think of to engage my wife -- anything she wants -- to no avail. She's only interested in watching TV or being on her computer. When she's sober, she is the amazing woman I fell in love with. As she is now, drinking most of the time, she is angry and moody and unpleasant -- if she isn't passed out in front of the TV or asleep in front of her computer. She no longer takes care of herself. She's put on a lot of alcohol weight and has no motivation to do anything about it. Her own daughter has questioned why I stay. But I love her. I would walk through anything WITH her. But if she continues down this path, refusing help or refusing to change, I'm not sure how much longer I can con-

tinue. Doing everything around the house and living with your wife's lover is exhausting. I've been to Al-Anon. I know I can't change her. I am hoping and praying that someone else may see themselves in this letter. Or someone who has an alcoholic spouse will have been given a voice and know they are not alone and crazy. Or perhaps someone will see themselves as my wife, and hearing these words coming from a stranger will affect them in a way their own spouse's words do not, causing change and saving themselves and their marriage. - Outside the Bottle Looking In Dear Outside the Bottle Looking In: Your letter is beautiful. Beautiful not only because it is clever but because it comes from love. You love this woman and it is breaking your heart that she is killing herself slowly. Thus is the nature of this terrible disease. The most challenging part is that she needs to come to the conclusion on her own that she needs help. Keep up with Al-Anon. If you don't find it helping, find another group or seek the help of a professional therapist who focuses on substance abuse issues in families. I have no doubt that you have helped others with your words. Sending you and your family best wishes.

Carvana zooms ahead

The pandemic has accelerated many retail trends, including buying cars online. That’s been both a blessing and a challenge for online car sites like Vroom and Carvana, as a boom in demand has sometimes outstripped supply. Carvana, one of the largest online used car sellers, has been growing by leaps and bounds since its founding in 2013, making a name for itself with car vending machines that let users buy cars without going to a dealership. It went public in 2017 and has become a stock market darling. Its shares have more than tripled over the past year. And there’s plenty of room to

grow, with online car sales accounting for just 1% of used car sales, according to JP Morgan. During its fourth-quarter earnings report in late February, Carvana CEO Ernie Garcia said sales jumped 80 percent in January compared with the year-ago month, with demand higher than the company could meet. The Tempe, Arizonabased company is opening new centers for buying used cars it can sell and adding vending machines to keep up with demand. Its goal is to reach about 80 percent of the U.S. population in more than 300 markets by the end of 2021.

Vehicles sold 250 thousand

Growing quickly: Carvana saw rapid growth in 2020; analysts say there is room to grow.

“A Word From...” by the Trenton Area Ministerial Alliance

Sharon Jahraus, co-pastor Trenton Foursquare Church MAKE GOD KNOWN Making God known doesn’t mean that we just know about God. To make God known we must know Him through Jesus Christ, His Son, who died on the Cross for all our sins. But there’s more… God desires to be made known. The writer of Hebrews 5-6 put out a call for believers today, a call to grow up spiritually and become mature in understanding who God is and His goodness and the power of His Word. Hebrews 6:9-10 commends the faithful followers of Jesus Christ: “We are confident that you are meant for better things, things that come with salvation. For God is not unjust. He will not forget how hard you have worked for Him and how you have shown your love to Him by caring for other believers…” Continually loving God and others will help us avoid becoming spiritually dull and indifferent.

Care Center

It is imperative that we faithfully endure in this life in order to inherit God’s promises. We must persevere and trust God always for the outcome, especially through trials and dark times. Leave it in His hands so that His Name would be made known. What does this mean for us? It is to live a holy life in right standing with Father God. Be a godly example and make God known to all in our sphere of influence. I close by thanking the editor, Ronda, for reminding me to write this column. I knew I was scheduled to write…but when I finally looked at my calendar, I missed it. But Ronda showed grace and gave me a second chance opportunity. I believe God is a God of second chances. I also believe He is using the Trenton Republican-Times for opportunities to make God known. God’s Word needs to be read and heard and taken to heart. Thank God for His Grace, Mercy and Love!
