Established Sept. 4, 1864 - 157th Year - No. 1
Nursing Home Has Positive Cases
R-9 Classes In Quarantine Positive COVID-19 cases continue to be reported in Grundy County, with the latest affecting the Trenton R-9 School District. Superintendent Mike Stegman has announced the district has had three cases in which a “positive event” has occurred within a classroom at the Rissler Elementary School. As a result, three classrooms of students have been deemed as close contacts and have a directive for quarantine for a period of time. This includes both students and teachers. Specific classrooms affected were not listed, other than identifying that the cases occurred at the elementary school. The total number of coronavirus cases within the district, including all persons who have tested positive and/or are quarantined, is 136 (as of Thursday morning). The district is working with the quarantined students to provide either online instruction and/or packets of work to keep the students on pace with their grade level, Stegman said. It was noted that the district plans to continue with face-to-face instruction with all other students who are not in quarantine. Stegman noted that in the district’s reopening plan, pre-kindergarten through fourth grade classes would be kept in cohort groups (within their own classrooms) and be required to wear masks when not in their groups within the classroom. This was done, he said, to help prevent a large number of close contacts with any positive coronavirus events. “The benefit would be that we would be able to not only close a classroom versus closing down the entire facility in the event of a positive case,” he said. Stegman reiterated the district protocol when there is confirmation of a positive coronavirus exposure in the district, beginning with the school nurse interview-
Coun ty C OVID D Nu umbers Up Grundy County has 20 new positive cases of COVID-19 since Monday, according to information provided on Thursday morning by the local health department. Of the new cases, 18 were reported on Wednesday and brings the total number of confirmed cases to 69, including one death. There are 38 active cases at this time. No other area data was available as of press-time.
ing the positive individual and creating a close contact list. The list is then sent to the Grundy County Health Department, which will contact the close contacts and direct the length of quarantine necessary for each. Persons not notified as a close contact would not be subject to quarantine, he said. “The district is responsible for investigating and contract tracing for any positive coronavirus case that occurs on our campus,” Stegman said, adding that each case is being handled independently. Stegman said the district is not mandating tests for suspected COVID cases, but may require a doctor’s note clearing the child before they are allowed back in the classroom. Stegman said the doctor’s note policy has been one the district has followed for years when a child has missed school due to illness. Parents/guardians with questions regarding the COVID procedures in the R9 School District may contact the district office or the building administrator where their child attends classes. Meanwhile, a staff member at Princeton High School has tested positive for COVID-19, making it the second positive case known in the district. Superintendent Jerry Girdner said both cases have been linked to separate events not related to the school. The confirmed cases are not considered to have been contracted within the building or campus.
Girdner said the district is working closely with the Mercer County Health Department and all close contacts have been notified. District administration and the Mercer County Health Department will continue to update families as necessary. In-person classes continue to be held at Princeton. Parents/guardians with questions are asked contact their building administrator and are reminded to screen their children and themselves for any symptoms. Girdner asked those who feel sick to stay at home. At Sunnyview Nursing Home and Apartments in Trenton, five staff members have tested positive for the virus and have been sent home for isolation. No residents have tested positive. Administrator Jerry Doerhoff said testing started on Monday and was concluded on Wednesday morning. Doerhoff said three of the staff members were found to be positive through use of antigen testing, which allows results to be available on the same day but also requires that a second test be done. Doerhoff said those tests were conducted on Wednesday and the individuals tested are awaiting the results. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services provided the equipment for the antigen testing. The two other positive cases reported See COVID-19, Page 10

Activity could be seen this week on the 17th Street Bridge project with dirt work taking place at the site. The project has been on hold since late July when the contractor, Boone Construction, clamed to have encountered rip rap or rock debris at one location during excavation for the bridge foundations. According to City Administrator Ron Urton, the dirt work is being done as part of the investigation into the debris situation. He said information from the dig will be shared with all entities involved to determine how to proceed with the project.
The Grundy County Commission met on Tuesday morning, hearing reports on various county departments. According to information provided by Presiding Commissioner Phillip Ray, the commission heard an update on the FEMA project at the Sand Hill Bridge, located near NE 110th Street in Marion Township. He said approximately 800 tons of material has been used to repair damage at the site. Commissioners also reviewed a tabletop emergency exercise plan and approved CARES Act funding requests from the Grundy County Health Department, Trenton R-9 School District and Sunnyview Nursing Home. It was reported that N95 masks have been received by the Grundy County Ambulance Department and put in stock for EMS personnel. Several new vendors are being utilized in order to ensure supplies are readily available. The agenda for the Tuesday, Sept. 8 meeting includes a bid opening for county vehicles at 8:30 a.m., followed by a road and bridge report at 8:45 a.m., an emergency management report at 9 a.m. and CRF allocation approvals at 9:30 a.m. The commission will hear an ambulance department update at 10 a.m. and hold a pre-construction meeting with Howe Company, Decker Construction and the Missouri Department of Transportation at 11 a.m. concerning the bridge project on SW 80th Avenue.

Olivia Roberts goes up to hit a shot during the Trenton volleyball team’s season-opening loss to Cameron on Monday night.
Volleyballers Dealt Rough Welcome To 2020 Season Trenton Trailed 21-0 Before Scoring In First Varsity Game CAMERON 3 TRENTON 0
The Trenton and Cameron high school volleyball teams are in different places entering the 2020 season. Trenton would like to reach .500 for the first time in its program’s 25year existence. Cameron, however, will be chasing a 20-win season, looking to compete for a Midland Empire Conference title. The different positions of each program were on full display on Monday night as the two teams opened the season in Trenton. The Bulldogs were defeated 25-3, 25-7, 25-14. Varsity volleyball matches have shifted from a best twoout-of-three to a best three-outof-five in Missouri for 2020. The match couldn’t have started any worse for the Bulldogs as Cameron ran off 21straight points to open the first game. After Trenton finally got on the board, Cameron put Trenton away for the 25-3 victory in game one. Despite the disastrous start, Trenton made improvements in each of the following two games. The Bulldogs were defeated by a 25-7 mark in game two - a still relatively lop-sided score. But in what would be the final game, Trenton doubled its point total in the third game, falling 25-14. “At the varsity level we had
a tough time with the return serve in the first set,” Trenton coach Pam Bowden said. “It was not the start we had anticipated or hoped for, but the girls kept their heads up and kept trying.” Evy McCullough had two blocks and two kills in the loss and Mackenzee Epperson added an ace, a kill and a dig. Trenton also got six digs from Kenzie Yuille, the libero, on the back line and five digs from Jessa Shipley. Olivia Roberts finished with four digs and a block. With the loss, Trenton established a 0-1 record on the season. Trenton was scheduled to face Lawson on Tuesday, but that match was cancelled due to a scheduling conflict on Lawson’s end. A match with Wellington-Napoleon on Sept. 24 will replace the Lawson date on the schedule. The Bulldogs were at home on Thursday, facing Chillicothe and will be on their home floor once again on Tuesday, Sept. 8, facing off with Plattsburg at 5 p.m. JUNIOR VARSITY Trenton split a pair of lower varsity tilts in advance of the varsity contest. The Bulldogs won a C match 25-21, 25-17 and lost the JV contest 25-20, 25-22. Abby Simpson had two aces for the JV, which also got three digs each from Kaylea Boyle, Skylar Gott and Katie Markell. “The C team got off to a good start winning both sets,” Bowden said. “The JV showed a lot of potential and they played well. We have been moving some girls around to see if the chemistry meshes.”
SPORTS BRIEFS Stottlemyre Hits Hole-In-One Jerry Stottlemyre of Trenton hit his first hole-in-one on Wednesday, Aug. 26. Stottlemyre used a nine iron to ace the 140-yard sixth hole at the Riverside Country Club in Trenton. On hand to witness the shot was Bill Wiggins.

Trenton players gang tackle a Brookfield ballcarrier in week one. The Bulldogs have put a premium on tackling and physicality this week in practice as they prepare to face East Buchanan tonight (Friday) on the road in Gower.
Trenton Set For East Buch, Looking To Move Past Week 1 Disaster In the wake of a 50-0 loss in week 1 and with pandemic numbers in the county growing, Trenton embarked on preparations for a week 2 match-up on the road against East Buchanan. They have not been easy practices as coach Kevin Hixson and his staff have gone back to the basics, teaching tackling and physicality with hard-hitting drills. In the week 1 loss, Trenton’s tackling left something to be desired. “As a coaching staff, we made a few lists of things that we really need to work on and correct this week,” Hixson said. “We kind of went back to old-school basics. We really spent a lot of time on kickoff, kickoff return, tackling stations, just fundamental football to try and fix and correct some of the things that we did on Friday.” Trenton will have a bit of a different challenge ahead of it this Friday. Playing in the Grand River Conference, the Bulldogs don’t typically see passing offenses. East Buchanan will look to put the ball in the air a majority of the time, however. In week 1 against South Harrison, the Gower-based Bulldogs threw the ball 26 times. Junior quarterback Conner Musser was 11-for-25 passing, throwing for 193 yards and two touchdowns with one interception. Granted, East Buchanan was playing from behind for a majority of the fourth quarter, but it didn’t have any rusher go for more than 22 yards in the win. Trenton will have to prepare for defending against an air attack in week 2. “I did not think we tackled well at any level (last week), but our secondary was not good at all, so we really focused on that,” Hixson said. “(East Buchanan)

Last year that was their whole offense, so I really look for them to come out and spread us out with some trips and double sets. We worked a lot on our eyes and feet this week and being at the right place at the right time. Hopefully, we can get it done.” Gage Busby was Musser’s top target in week 1, catching four passes for 96 yards and a touchdown. Drew Thompson also proved to be a dangerous threat, returning a kick off 86 yards for a touchdown in his team’s week 1 victory. Trenton, meanwhile, had some kick coverage lapses against Brookfield, something the Bulldogs will need to clean up this week. Offensively, Trenton had six different players carry the ball in week 1, but that might not be the case in week 2 as players sort themselves out at the position. Hixson likely won’t use a fullback rotation to bring the play in as he did in week 1 ei-

ther. “When you make as many mistakes as we made last week and with as young as we are, we are trying to find the guys who really fit,” Hixson said. “We probably rotated Payden (McCullough) and Sam (Gibson) too much. Me being a former running back, it’s kind of hard to get in your groove when you are coming out every play or every two plays. So that rotation might change a bit. Then we had issues with turning the ball over and we are not going to put up with that. So if that happens, you are definitely coming out of the ballgame. We just have to find the guys who are going to run hard and fit in there.” East Buchanan’s week 1 win over South Harrison opened some eyes as South Harrison was pegged as the preseason favorite in the GRC by the league’s coaches. Trailing by nine points, East Buchanan scored twice in the final seven minutes of the game to rally for the victory. Trenton will do its best to stop its host’s passing game and steal a win of their own in week 2. Win or lose, showing improvement of any kind from last week’s debacle would give Trenton some momentum heading into GRC play at Princeton in week 3. “With a young group I keep telling myself every day that it’s a process,” Hixson said. “We have got to find a couple of goals and work on that and try to get better each week. We are going to get there, it just might take a little more time to get there than I originally planned.” Trenton and East Buchanan will kick off in Gower at 7 o’clock tonight (Friday).
It didn’t come easy, but the Trenton High School softball team got into the win column on Wednesday night, defeating the Albany Warriors 9-8 on the road in a make-up game that was rained out on Monday.
It took eight innings for Trenton to secure the win in what was a wild, back-andforth affair. Trenton trailed 3-0 before it plated its first two runs in the third inning and a three-run fifth gave the Bulldogs a 5-3 lead. Albany came back with a run in the bottom of the frame and tacked on two more in the bottom of the sixth to re-take the lead. A two-run seventh for Trenton swung the momentum back in the Bulldogs’ favor but Albany tied the game with a lone run in the bottom of the seventh, forcing extra innings. Trenton continued to pro-
duce at the plate in the late innings, scoring two more runs. Albany didn’t go quietly, but the Warriors could only push a single run across the plate in the home half, allowing Trenton to escape with a one-run victory. “I was happy the girls cut out the mental errors from Saturday’s game,” Hultman said. “Our bats came alive like I felt they would and we ran the bases really well. The look was there all night in their eyes that we were going to compete until the very end. Fortunately, we were able to get a two-run lead in the eighth and then held on for the win. The girls really deserved this one.” Freshman Emma Roberts picked up her first career win, taking over for starter Jenna Reeter in the first inning. Reeter retired one batter, allowing two runs, only one of which was earned. Roberts went the final seven and two thirds. She yielded six runs on 10 hits and seven walks while striking out one. Only two of
the six runs were earned for Roberts, however, as both teams struggled in the field. Trenton committed four errors in the game while Albany tallied three miscues of its own. At the plate, Maci Moore hit her first home run of the season, a two-run shot, and finished the game 2-for-4 with two runs and two RBIs. Chandler Lynch, Gracyn Rongey, Teya Cooksey and Madi Moore all had two hits each as well with Lynch scoring twice and the other three each crossing the plate once. Shay Westerhof had a hit, two runs scored and two RBIs. A single from Eliana Cowling rounded out Trenton’s 12 hits on the night. With the win, the Bulldogs evened their season mark at 11. Trenton was in conference action at Maysville on Thursday and will host Putnam County in another Grand River Conference contest on Saturday. That game, a make-up from Tuesday, will begin at 10 a.m.

Hay: Weigh, Test And Sample Before You Buy by Linda Geist Weigh, test and sample hay before buying or selling, says University of Missouri Extension livestock specialist Eldon Cole. Beef producers rely on good-quality hay to boost profits. “Unfortunately, our hay production is not always the greatest quality,� Cole says. “The category we excel in is ‘other grass hay’ – specifically, cool-season grass or mostly fescue. Missouri growers often harvest hay past its peak. As far as high-quality hay, such as alfalfa, we end up around 20th place most of the time.� On top of that, Missouri ranks second in the nation in 2019 carryover stock that may have been stored poorly. Cattle producers face uncertainty in buying hay because there are no uniform standards for Missouri’s No. 1 grass, fescue. Cole says his search for fescue hay prices in various farm magazines turned up empty. “The closest I found was fairquality mixed-grass hay at $40 to $50 per large round, or $20 to $40 per 4-by-5 round bale. Those reports were from the Missouri Weekly Hay Report.� A late-July report shows fairquality mixed hay per “large� round bale sold for $20-$50. There is a grading system for alfalfa that helps buyers make better decisions. A recent report from Kansas showed that buyers were paying $1 per relative feed value point in alfalfa hay. For example, buyers paid $142 per ton for alfalfa with an RFV score of 142. When buying hay, Cole says you should check three things: www.republican-times.com

1. Weigh a few bales on a scale. Not all big round bales weigh 1,000 pounds. Most weigh less than that, so you could be paying more per bale than you should. Bale size and density matter. 2. Core sample 10-15 bales. Send samples to a lab for analysis of moisture, fiber, energy and protein. The test will show the RFQ (relative forage quality) and help with ration balancing. Knowing these numbers will help you arrive at a fair price. Cost is about $25. 3. Look for hay that has been stored properly. Buy hay that has been stored in a barn as a first choice and hay that has been wrapped as second. Whatever you choose, store hay that you buy in a covered location. Locate your feeding area in a well-drained open area with easy access for feeding to reduce waste. “The greatest expense cattle producers face each year is forage cost, whether it’s pasture, hay or haylage,â€? Cole says. “Use a sharp pencil to evaluate whether to raise your own hay or to buy it.â€? Inventory Hay Pastures, Stockpiles Now MU Extension beef nutritionist Eric Bailey says now is a good time to inventory pastures and hay stockpiles to determine how much hay you need for winter feeding. Keep enough bales on hand to create a balanced ration to your herd’s nutritional needs. Consider the size of the cow, its lactation status and forage quality to calculate your percow daily hay needs. “Allow yourself flexibility,â€? Bailey says. “If you plan on www.republican-times.com Square bales of Alfalfa (2nd & 3rd cutting), Brome (1st & 2nd cutting), Mixed grass (1st cutting) Clover grass mix (2nd cutting) Satisfaction Guaranteed • Delivery available.

feeding for 90 days, plan for 120 days.� Cheap Feed May Not Be Cheap In Long Run Not all bales are created equal, Bailey says. Weights and nutritive values vary. The lower the nutritive quality, the more supplementation will be needed, and this adds to winter feed costs. “Overestimating bale density is a common mistake,� he says. “Assume your bale weight is 10% less than indicated.� He uses guidelines offered by Kansas State Extension agronomist Keith Martin. Most round bales will contain 9-12 pounds of dry matter per cubic foot. Loose, spongy bales will likely have a density of 9 pounds DM per cubic foot or less. Bales that deform slightly when pressed or spiked will likely have 10 pounds DM or less. Rigid bales that deform when pressed hard will likely have 11 pounds DM per cubic foot. Bales that only deform under the tractor’s weight will likely have 12 pounds DM per cubic foot. Feed costs account for 60 percent of a beef cow enterprise. Knowing the quantity and quality of hay you buy or grow directly affects the bottom line, says Bailey. The Missouri Department of Agriculture offers a directory that lists hay availability by county at AgMarketNews.mo.gov/haydirectory.

Damage ranges from trace losses up to 80 percent, depending on variety and when symptoms first appear. Yield losses of 5 to 15 percent are most common. While there is no rescue treatment once SDS appears, producers can take preventive measures. Keep a record of fields where SDS occurs. Consider planting resistant varieties and using seed treatments during the next season, Bissonnette says. Foliar symptoms of SDS are sometimes worsened in fields infested with soybean cyst nematode. If you have never tested a field for SCN or it has been several years since your last SCN test, consider soil sampling this fall after harvest, she says. Management options include variety selection, improving drainage, avoiding continuous soybeans and managing SCN. Seed treatments labeled for SDS may provide additional early season protection. For more information, the MU Extension publication “Soybean Diseases� (IPM1002) is available for free download at extension.missouri.edu/ipm1002.

By Linda Geist University of Missouri Extension agronomists reported during their weekly teleconference that sudden death syndrome is showing up in soybean fields across the state. MU Extension plant pathologist Kaitlyn Bissonnette says she is not surprised that the yieldrobbing disease has reared its ugly head. Fields showing symptoms now have had root infection for months, she says. SDS begins in wet springs like this year’s, when the soilborne pathogen Fusarium virguliforme infects soybean roots. Rain during the reproductive growth stages allows the pathogen’s toxins to move from the roots to the leaves. SDS appears in both upland and river bottom fields. Because SDS is soilborne, it is important to monitor fields with a history of the disease. Foliar symptoms include yellow blotches between leaf veins that turn brown in the center. As the disease progresses, the leaves curl upward and may fall from the plant. Stem canker and brown stem rot cause similar foliar symptoms, so it is important to scout and properly diagnose disease to form effective management strategies.

Five Points by Wendell Lenhart
THS Alumni Weekend Is Different
COVID-19 has claimed another casualty with the elimination of most activities of the Trenton High School Alumni Association which are always held over the Labor Day Holiday weekend each year. There will be a Friday night mixer (tonight) for all alums at the Riverside Country Club, but the traditional Saturday open house and Sunday brunch have been canceled. There are still a few classes holding reunions, as listed in Tuesday’s newspaper, but the majority of the class reunions have been canceled. Alumni spokesperson Steve Maxey said most classes that were scheduled Wendell Lenhart to meet this year are planning to hold their reunions next year. It’s always been a busy weekend in Trenton since every five-year class holds a get-together and many other alums come back that weekend to either visit with their classmates or other graduates who were around their age and catch up on changes in everyone’s lives. It is for the best, though, as we have had an uptick in positive cases this week, which was expected with students returning to area schools for the first time since last March. We just have to be smart and continue with our daily lives the best we can while taking common sense precautions such as washing hands, social distancing and wearing face masks. It’s not a big inconvenience and it keeps everyone healthy and slows the spread of the virus. I’m looking for a return to normal next year and it should be bigger and better than ever with next year’s scheduled reunions as well as the ones being postponed from this year. ##### Next Friday marks the 19th anniversary of 9/11 when our country was attacked by terrorists. It is an important time to remember how they infiltrated our country and killed over 6,000 innocent people. I plan to watch one of my favorite shows on the History Channel, “102 Minutes That Changed America.� It documents the events of that day and the sheer horror many persons faced, including one who was trapped in the upper floors of the burning World Trade Center in New York. They could either remain in a burning building that eventually collapsed or jump to their deaths as many chose to do. I don’t think any of us can fathom having to make a decision like that. We must never forget.
What Others Are Saying... Tricky Protests
Protesting can be a tricky thing. Your primary goal is to get across your message to the people in power — those who have the ability to enact change. But you have to capture their attention while not breaking rules, laws or offending the same people you hope to influence.
Guest Editorials Protesters have been inside the House and Senate galleries during the current special session to address violent crime. Protesting gets even trickier when you’re protesting in the same chamber where lawmaking is occurring. As we reported Wednesday, protesters remained mostly quiet during discussions on the House floor, only showing approval of several comments by snapping their fingers. However, after representatives passed the last of their bills, Ohun Ashe, an ExpectUS organizer, started a chant of “Criminal justice reform — not rhetoric.� Other members of the group unfurled a banner that said, “We see you.� Security staff in the Capitol rolled up the banner but returned it to the group after they left the chamber.
ExpectUS, the group that was protesting, did the right thing by mostly remaining quiet. They wore white T-shirts with red handprints. At one point, they raised their hands, painted red apparently to convey blood. It was a good attention-getter, and there’s nothing wrong with that. (And we give them bonus points for all wearing protective masks.) When they started chanting and unfurled a banner, however, that could have crossed the line. In this case, our understanding is that the House was finished with their business, so they didn’t disrupt lawmakers’ work. Protests outside the Capitol are often boisterous rallies that include chanting, speeches, signs, etc. And that’s fine. But inside the building, especially in the House and Senate chambers where lawmaking is taking place, decorum is essential. Lawmakers must be allowed to perform their jobs, without distraction, whether you agree or disagree with their attempts to better our state. The minute protesters disrupt the legislative process, are clearly crossing the line and should be removed from the galleries. Depending on the situation, charges should be brought. Their political persuasion doesn’t matter. In this situation, it appears the protesters approached the line of proper protesting but didn’t cross it. — Jefferson City News-Tribune

Dear Annie: I met the man of my dreams about two years ago. He showed me what it felt like to be loved by a man for the first time. I was the happiest I had ever been -- until about six months ago. I caught him in a hotel with another woman. She came out first and tried to make me believe he wasn't there. But the room was in his name. So, I knew he was there. I waited and, eventually, he did come outside. When he did, he had a huge grin on his face. That will forever haunt me. All he would say is that it wasn't what I thought it was. I decided to dig a little deeper and found out he had been hiring prostitutes since the day we moved in together. He had also stayed two weeks with another woman when I went on vacation a year before. He has yet to apologize in any way. If I bring it up, then he gets mad and says that it's in the past. And wants me to believe that he's not still cheating. I love this man very much, but how do I get past this? It would be easier if he'd talk about it. He won't. He gets mad and acts like I'm the one doing wrong just by bringing it up. Any advice would help. --

Heartbroken in Kentucky Dear Heartbroken: Couples can work together to heal the wounds of infidelity -- but only when the partner who's been unfaithful shows remorse and a desire to change. If he not only betrayed you but won't even say sorry, then it's time to kick his sorry caboose to the curb. His behavior hasn't just been deceitful; it's been disrespectful. As painful as it might be to break up with him, you're in for a lifetime of hurt if you don't. Dear Annie: I am an 85year-old healthy single woman living in a small Northern California town. I am an artist and have enjoyed painting during this time when I am isolated. Recently, some friends, who live in a mobile home park nearby, invited me to join them for an hour every afternoon to play "kick an empty can" with them in the wide streets of the park. There are four to six people every day. We're safe: We're always six feet apart. And the speed limit is 15 miles per hour. When a vehicle approaches, we all retreat to the curb. Meanwhile, the drivers wave, laugh and honk their horns as they pass by. We've worn out

Car dealers overcome pandemic
All six big U.S. auto dealership groups reported surprisingly strong net profits last quarter thanks to drastic cost-cutting that saw the new and used car chains slash thousands of jobs. AutoNation, Lithia Motors and Sonic Automotive reported higher profits than a year earlier. Penske Automotive, Group One and Asbury Automotive saw declines yet still managed to remain in the black. That's despite a more than 30% drop in new vehicle sales from April through June. “Demand was lousy,” said Morningstar analyst David Whiston. Dealerships saved their profits by cutting costs and accelerating their
shift to online sales with limited contact between customers and staff, Whiston said. AutoNation, the biggest chain with 325 U.S. dealerships, said it delivered vehicles so customers could avoid showrooms altogether. So even though revenue and vehicle sales were each off 15% from a year ago, selling, general and administrative expenses fell by $89 million, or 14%. AutoNation alone cut about 4,000 jobs, and about 3,000 are permanent. “The expense cutting was so drastic,” said Whiston. He thinks that many of the lost jobs will never return to the dealership chains.

several cans in the process, but all have plenty more to contribute. Great fun and great friends! -- Mim in Grass Valley, CA Dear Mim: Your letter made me smile. Here's to finding more ways to stay young at heart. Dear Annie: The letter from "Witchy Woman" made me feel sad for her -- not only because she thinks she looks like a witch but because she is starting to wonder why her husband of many years would marry her. This is the husband who raised a family with her, encouraged her to go back to school and have a successful career, the man who is kind, gentle, and caring. She doesn't realize it, but this is also the husband who is madly in love with her, the husband who has never seen what she sees when she looks in the mirror. Instead, he looks at her every day and thanks his lucky stars for having this wonderful, beautiful, hardworking, talented woman in his life. Trust me, if the shape of her nose or chin bothered him, he would have been gone long ago. Just sign me... -- Old Married Guy Still in Love After 47 years Dear OMG: Your letter brought a tear to my eye. Congrats on many decades of marriage, and thanks for sharing the love and wisdom.

Why Labor Day Is Worth Celebrating Labor Day weekend is much-anticipated. Many people look forward to Labor Day weekend because it offers one last extended break to enjoy summer weather. Though summer does not officially end until September is nearly over, for many people Labor Day, which is celebrated annually on the first Monday in September, marks the unofficial end of summer. But Labor Day is more than just one final chance to embrace the relaxed vibe of summer and soak up some rays. In fact, Labor Day boasts a unique history that’s worth celebrating for a variety of reasons.
What is Labor Day? The United States Department of Labor notes that Labor Day is a celebration of American workers that dates back to the 19th century. The day is meant to commemorate the contributions workers in the United States have made to the nation, helping to make it one of the strongest and most prosperous countries in the world.
Who came up with the idea of Labor Day? Despite the fact that municipal legislation surrounding Labor Day was initially introduced in the 1880s, debate remains as to just who should be credited with proposing a day to honor American workers. Some records suggest that Peter J. McGuire, who served as general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and cofounded the American Federation of Labor, deserves the credit for Labor Day. However, the Department of Labor notes that many people believe a machinist named Matthew Maguire (no relation to Peter) was the first to propose a holiday honoring workers in 1882. At that time Maguire was serving as secretary of New York’s Central Labor Union, which later adopted a Labor Day proposal and appointed a committee to plan a demonstration and picnic. The first Labor Day was ultimately celebrated in New York City on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in accordance with the plans made by the Central Labor Union, which strongly suggests that Maguire does, in fact, deserve the credit for coming up with the holiday.
Why celebrate Labor Day? Labor Day is worth celebrating because, without the contributions of millions of workers every year, the United States would not be the success story it is and has been for more than 200 years. In addition to the United States, many countries across the globe, including Canada and Australia, have their own versions of Labor Day. Labor Day weekend might now be seen as the unofficial end of summer. But this Labor Day weekend, celebrants and workers should remember that it also should be a time to reflect on the value of hard work.
