GHRA Asks For Agreement Changes Representatives of the Green Hills Recreation Association were at a meeting of the Trenton Park Board on Wednesday, seeking some changes in the agreement between the two entities. Cara McClellan spoke to the board about the current agreement involving ball field usage during the summer ball season. At this time, the non-profit GHRA pays $25 per game for games played on Johnson, Griffin and Burleigh Grimes fields with no charge for games played at either of the two fields at Moberly Park or at the t-ball field at Van Meter Park. The other part of the agreement includes the park board paying the GHRA $35 per night to operate the concession stands at the ball fields. At the end of the 2019 season, the GHRA had paid $1,800 in field
fees. With the amount owed to the GHRA for operation of the concession stands, the park department actually ended up owing the GHRA $650. It was noted that the GHRA is the only organization within the Harrison County League, in which Trenton competes, that pays a fee in addition to taxes to use the fields. In response to a question from Park Board member Curtis Crawford, Taya Ray shared some statistics, including that 25 teams comprised of 275 athletes and 65 coaches played for the GHRA in the 2019 season, a number that has stayed pretty consistent since 2017. A larger number, 34 teams representing 352 athletes, was involved in 2016, the first year of the GHRA’s existence. Since 2016, 1,163 youth have been in-

volved in the organization’s summer ball program. GHRA representatives discussed the economic impact the program has since each team plays at least six home games, bringing teams to Trenton from Princeton, Jamesport, Mercer, Pattonsburg, Gilman City, Galt, Cainsville, Ridgeway, Eagleville, Bethany, Winston and Leon, IA. What the GHRA proposed to the park board on Wednesday is that the entity pay the $25 per field per night, rather than per game, since there are often multiple games per night on the field. In addition, the GHRA would like to end its agreement to operate the concession stands because it is difficult to find parents to run them. It was also mentioned there could be some improvement in the offerings for the con-

Two Votes Taken
Elected Officials Approved For Cost Of Living Raise The Grundy County Salary Commission met on Tuesday morning, taking two votes before approving a 1 percent cost of living increase for elected officials. According to Grundy County Clerk Betty Spickard, the first vote was 6-4 against a motion made by Grundy County Sheriff Rodney Herring, which would have raised the annual salaries of elected officials by $2,000 with the exception of the sheriff’s position, which would have received a $6,000 increase. In making the motion, Herring cited language in Missouri Statute 50.327. That motion was seconded by Grundy County Prosecuting Attorney Kelly Puckett and failed after receiving only four “yes” votes, which were cast by Herring, Puck-

The park board was without a quorum on Wednesday and didn’t take any votes, but Board President Duane Helmandollar said the board is currently looking at all costs and fees within the park system and while the board was not prepared to make any decisions at this time, the proposal will be considered.

Board OKs Grant Requests Grant requests were approved and a construction update was given during a meeting of the Trenton R-9 Board of Education on Tuesday night. In the only action taken in open session by the board, two grant applications were approved for submission. Fifth grade teacher Christy Gibler is asking the GEC Foundation for $500 to purchase grade-level reading books for the fifth grade reading library while kindergarten teacher Debbie Young is requesting $498.70 from the Missouri State Teachers Association to purchase books and items for student activities associated with the books. No local match is required for either grant. The vote on the GEC match was 4-0 with Brandon Gibler abstaining and Doug Franklin, Corey Leeper, Marci Cutsinger and Cliff Roeder voting in favor. Dorothy Taul and Dr. David Whitaker were absent. The vote on the MSTA grant was 5-0. Dennis Gutshall, who is serving as project manager for the construction work at the middle school/high school campus, Rissler School and C.F. Russell Stadium, said that initial dirt work is under way, with the dirt excavator to be at the performing arts center on Wednesday. He said a 30-inch layer of dirt will be removed, which will then be replaced with “approved fill.” The Internet and intercom system to the ag/art and music buildings is being rerouted, with the wiring to be placed underground. Production of the precast panels for the performing arts center will begin in December, with installation scheduled in late January or early February, depending on the weather. The original high school sewer line is also scheduled for replacement to avoid any issues in the future. Gutshall also said that work on the concession stand at the stadium will begin on Oct. 22 and it is hoped the footings and floorings can be in place before winter. The board heard reports from Director of Special Services Tara Hoffman regarding the R-9 Special Education Program as well as the Assessment/Testing Program. She noted that ACT testing for juniors will take place on Feb. 25 while MAP testing will be conducted from April 21 to May 1. It was announced that parent-teacher conferences would be held on Thursday, Oct. 17 with no classes being held on Oct. 18 and Oct. 21. Following an executive session, the board voted to accept the resignation of Kelli Griffith as colorguard coach. Molly Norman was approved as a substitute.

SPORTS HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL Lathrop Mules 2, Trenton Bulldogs 0 Chillicothe Hornets 2, Trenton Bulldogs 0
Trenton Volleyball Team Drops Pair At Home The Trenton High School volleyball team dropped its second-straight game after winning the Carrollton Quad, falling 25-17, 26-24 at home to Lathrop on Tuesday night. Evy McCullough had three aces, a kill and a block to lead Trenton in the loss. Allena Allen had two aces and a dig and Olivia Roberts added two aces as well. Bekah Allen had one assist and Kenzie Yuille had three digs. Natalie Ricker had two digs and Libby Fewins and Ally Yoder had one dig each. With the loss, Trenton fell to 10-13 overall on the season. Trenton did take the junior varsity match, defeating the Mules’ JV team 25-20, 25-20. Mackenzee Epperson had five aces and three kills to lead Trenton and Lilly Berti had two kills and an ace. Faith Baker had two aces and a kill, Juliet Schmadeke had one ace and one kill and Yoder had two assists.
vs. CHILLICOTHE On Monday, Trenton fell 25-12, 25-18 at home against Chillicothe.

GRAND DESIGN Trenton Schemes For District Foe
McKayla Blackburn stood in center field on Monday night in Marceline. From that vantage point she watched a game she couldn’t pitch in slip away as the Bulldogs went on to take a 15-5 run-rule loss in five innings. “It’s really hard,” Blackburn said. “I was struggling. I was like ‘if I could just be out there right now, this would be a whole different game.’ That’s what I thought.” While it was frustrating for the senior, Trenton had its reasons. With the Class 2, District 16 Tournament less than two weeks away, Trenton and Marceline are essentially locked into the two and three seed positions behind potential one-seed Putnam County which has wins over Trenton and Marceline this season. So, rather than fight the Tigers over who will be the home team on the scoreboard when they meet with a trip to the district championship game on the line, the Bulldogs chose to station Blackburn in center field and not tip their hand ahead of a much more important contest down the line. “I hate hypocrites, but as coaches we have to look ahead in the schedule and prepare our team for the best possible situation - put them in the best chance to go as far as we can,” Trenton Head Coach Joel Hultman said. “So with

Marceline probably being on our side (at districts), we didn’t want them to see McKayla.” Blackburn got her chance to take out Monday night’s frustration on Tuesday, when Trenton played host to Brookfield whom the Bulldogs were battling for the three seed at districts after essentially yielding the two seed to Marceline the night before. Brookfield had a one-run win over Trenton in the Nan Carter Tournament earlier in the season, but Trenton left no doubt about which team deserved the better district positioning with a 12-2 run-rule win in six innings. “I was really ready to pitch tonight,” Blackburn said. “Especially after last night.” Blackburn threw all six
frames against Brookfield, allowing two runs, only one of which was earned. She scattered five hits and walked two while striking out three. She needed just 38 pitches to get through the six-inning contest and threw 29 of them for strikes. The game only went six innings because while Blackburn collared the Brookfield lineup, Trenton’s offense went to work. The game was scoreless entering the bottom of the third inning, but Lexi Whitaker hammered a two-run double to give Trenton the early edge. It was the first hit of what would be a big night for Whitaker. She added a second double in the fifth, this one with the bases loaded. All three runners would score on the hit as Whitaker collected her third, fourth and fifth RBIs of the game. Whitaker finished the game three-for-four with the two doubles, five RBIs, a run scored and two stolen bases. Blackburn and Teya Cooksey each had a hit, run and two RBIs. Maci Moore and Chandler Lynch each scored three times in the win with Moore adding two hits, one a double. Morgan King also drove in her first career run, plating Gracyn Rongey with a single in the sixth inning. Summer Martin didn’t have a hit, but drove in a pair of runs on the night, including the gamewinner. For the second time this season, Martin found herself in the batter’s box with the chance to end a game via the 10-run rule. She hit a two-run triple to walk off Stanberry in the GRC crossover game last week and repeated the feat on Tuesday. Martin hit a ball to the right side of the infield, allowing Shay Westerhof to score from third. The second RBI of the night for Martin pushed the Trenton lead to 10
and ended the contest. “I just think about what we work on in practice,” Martin said of the potential game-ending situations she has seen in each of the last two weeks. “Just keeping my head where I normally am and just knowing I have to get a hit. I really like (those situations) because I like the satisfaction of winning the game and getting that game-winning run in.” Against Marceline, Martin was the bright spot for the offense, going one-for-two with a double and two RBIs. Trenton also got one hit, one run, one stolen base and one RBI each from Cooksey and Lynch. Freshman Jenna Reeter took the loss in the circle, allowing 15 runs, 13 earned, on six hits and eight walks while striking out one. With the split against the two Linn County schools, Trenton moved to 14-7 overall on the season. “We are pretty confident in our team, in our pitching, in our offense and defense,” Hultman said. “That doesn’t mean anything in the playoffs, it doesn’t get us anywhere. What the players have to continue to do is take it one game at a time, one practice at a time and one at-bat at a time. We need to make sure we are climbing the mountain and not plateauing too early. That’s what we kind of talked about. “The ladies are doing great. The seniors have figured out what they need to do to lead the team and the rest of the team is in line and it’s a really fun thing to watch.” Trenton’s junior varsity team fell 7-0 to Marceline and lost 10-1 to Brookfield. Trenton was scheduled to be at home on Thursday, hosting Cameron. The Bulldogs wrap up regular season play on Monday, hosting Chillicothe on Senior Night at 5:30 p.m.

SPORTS HIGH SCHOOL GOLF
Class 1, District 6 Tournament
Henson, Madden Earn All-District Nod Oakley Madden began the 2018 Class 1, District 6 Tournament on hole 10 at the Green Hills Golf Course in Chillicothe. She carded a 22 on that tournament-opening hole and a couple of hours later, her junior season was over. The Class 1, District 6 Tournament returned to Chillicothe on Monday and fittingly, when Madden received her scorecard, she was again set to tee off on hole 10. With a simple bogey, Madden totally changed her fortunes from a year ago and propelled herself into an alldistrict round. She finished with a 114 for the 18-hole tournament and placed 14th individually, earning a medal and a trip to sectionals next Mon-

day (Oct. 14) in Kirksville. She will be joined by teammate and fellow senior Maci Henson, who placed 11th individually with a score of 109 also earning a medal and alldistrict recognition. “It’s a big deal for (Madden),” Trenton Coach Travis Mullenix said. “It’s a big deal for me, too. She started on the same hole where she started last year where she got a 22. She took a bogey this year on it, so that was a 17-stroke difference on her first hole. It was pretty exciting. I think I was more nervous than she was before she teed off, but it is a big deal for her. She was pretty pumped up that she made it (to sectionals). We weren’t really thinking all-district at all and
she was able to make that alldistrict team. I just couldn’t be happier for her.” Monday will mark Madden’s first trip to sectionals while Henson will be making her third-straight trip to the penultimate tournament of the season. Each of the past two seasons have seen Henson’s run come up one tournament shy of the MSHSAA Girls Golf State Championships something she will look to change in this, her senior season. “This year Maci has been pretty consistent,” Mullenix said. “She started out early and just wasn’t quite there yet, but the last two or three weeks she has played really consistent golf. She still has room to get

better, too. She is shooting in the low 100s and, boy, it doesn’t take much to get into those 90s, you know, especially around the greens. Her putter wasn’t on today and that is something she can do better at to take that next step and make it to state. Hopefully she can do that.” Trenton had two other golfers in action at districts in Mari Atup and Josie Chumbley. Atup carded a 143 and Chumbley shot a 152 as their respective seasons came to a close. As a team, Trenton finished with a score of 518, good for sixth in the team standings.

Outside of some breakdowns in the secondary and not being able to finish a drive on a couple of occasions, Trenton looked far from the winless team it is at this point. “We are not that bad, we just have to put 48 minutes together,” Hixson said. “We can compete with anybody, I honestly believe that. When our guys up front do their job and our guys in the backfield do their job we can do that.” The test doesn’t get much larger for the Bulldogs than it does Friday night, however. South Harrison has run the table to date and is coming off a 22-14 win over Gallatin in a battle of previously undefeated teams. That win kept the Bethanybased school in a tie for first place at the

top of the conference standings with Princeton. Key to South Harrison’s success has been running back Gradyn Linthacum. The bruising runner will be a big focus for Trenton Friday night, but Hixson won’t sleep on South Harrison quarterback Austin Lasher. Lasher has been a source of big plays for the Purple and White Bulldogs. In a narrow 26-21 victory over a then-winless Maysville team, Lasher had a 65-yard touchdown run that proved to be the difference in the game. He broke loose for a long play again last week against Gallatin, only being denied a touchdown by an inadvertant whistle from the officials. For Trenton, one big play would be detrimental. Letting South Harrison shake free for multiple big plays would be disasterous and almost assure the Bulldogs of a seventh consecutive loss. Trenton will hope to avoid that fate when they kick off from C.F. Russell Stadium tonight (Friday) at 7 o’clock. A pre-game tailgate sponsored by BTC Bank will run from 5-7 o’clock at Eastside Park. The cost is $5 per plate with proceeds going to the Trenton Quarterback Club and Bulldog Mascots. BTC Bank will match the proceeds through the first 200 plates sold.

court became a little more intense. The number-one doubles teams from each school traded shots and barbs until a bystander - agreed upon by both coaches - was ushered onto the court to serve as a line judge for in-or-out calls. Fittingly, the number-one doubles match came down to a

BULLDOGS BULLDOGS NO EASY TASK Externally, you won’t find anyone willing to give winless Trenton a shot against undefeated South Harrison in this week’s match-up between the two Bulldog schools. On the inside, however, Trenton is approaching this game the same way it has for each of its previous six opponents. “I told our guys on Monday that nobody expected the Colts to go into Kansas City and beat the Chiefs,” Trenton Head Coach Kevin Hixson said. “Nobody expects us to go out here and beat South Harrison. Nobody outside that room expects it, but we have to expect it. That’s kind of been our thing all week long. I want them to go out and expect great things to happen for them. You don’t spend all of that time in the weight room and do 7-on-7 and practice and run to not expect great things.” Trenton is coming off a week that saw

tiebreaker and Gott and Crowley prevailed, earning a 9-8 win with a 7-5 tiebreaker and a significant measure of satisfaction. The emotional win set the tone for the rest of the Class 1, District 15 semifinal dual as Trenton defeated Richmond 52, clinching a championship match-up with Chillicothe. That dual, originally scheduled for Wednesday, will be played today (Friday) due to rain in the area on Wednesday and Thursday. Trenton took two of three wins in doubles play as Morgan Dolan and Alaina Overton joined Gott and Crowley with an 8-1 victory. Gwyneth Foster and Mallory Sole just missed giving Trenton a sweep of the doubles portion of the dual, falling by a 9-7 margin. Overton gave Trenton a quick win in singles play, winning 6-0, 6-1 and Sole’s 6-3, 61 victory put the Bulldogs one win shy of advancing. After Crowley’s 7-5, 6-4 loss gave Richmond its second win, Dolan put the dual away with a 7-5, 6-3 victory. Gott and Foster’s singles matches were stopped in progress once Trenton reached its fifth win. “The girls came out strong tonight and worked together to
win,” Trenton Coach Tammy Ockenfels said. “They were supportive of one another and everyone contributed.” The win moved Trenton back to .500 on the season at 77 overall. First serves for Friday’s district championship dual in Chillicothe are scheduled for 4 p.m. Trenton will return to Chillicothe on Saturday for the individual singles and doubles district brackets at 9 a.m.
The Trenton Middle School football team moved to 4-1 Monday night with a 16-12 victory on the road in Milan. Each team scored twice in the game, but the Bulldogs made good on their two 2-point conversion tries while Milan did not. Both of Trenton’s touchdowns came in the second quarter, where Gabe Stark ran in a touchdown followed by a Brayden Hughs 2-point conversion. Hughs then scored a touchdown followed by a Stark 2-point conversion. Trenton led 16-0 at halftime, but wouldn’t score again. Milan tacked on its two touchdowns in the second half, but Trenton held the Wildcats out on the 2-point try each time to secure the victory. “I’m very happy with the team’s defensive effort,” Head Coach Jon Guthrie said. “(Assistant) Coach (Trey) Shields did a great job setting up our defensive strategy. I’m proud of our physical play and our ability to cause turnovers. It was a hard fought defensive win.” Stark led the Trenton defense with nine tackles, three sacks and another two tackles for loss. Charlie Riley intercepted two passes and Gavin Cagle fell on a Milan fumble. Offensively, Stark had 91 rushing yards and Hughs added 60 yards on the ground.

Center for the past several years. Ms. Whitney gave a report on the 2019 season, telling board members the 2019 season was 13 days shorter than the 2018 season, partly because school got out later. Total income was $67,000, down from about $73,000 in 2018 and attendance was 11,925 this year, down from 12,912 in 2018. The average daily attendance, however was 163 in 2019, up from 150 in 2018. Ms. Whitney told board members that increasing the price of family passes by $10 and single passes by $15 did not seem to affect their sale, noting that 81 family passes and 40 single passes were sold. A total of 23 lap and senior passes, which saw $5 in-
creases, were sold. Ms. Whitney praised her group of lifeguards for their work this summer and said there were 34 saves (when a lifeguard has to get off the stand to help a swimmer) a number t hat is one less than in 2018. Ms. Whitney, who has indicated she will not return as manager next year, suggested the board look at placing padding under the high dive ladder to help prevent injuries if a swimmer falls while climbing the ladder. The board will be looking into that option. In his report, Park Superintendent Jason Shuler and board member Gary Schuett said trees have been replaced at Moberly Park that had been damaged (many by deer) and new trees have been planted at Gladys Grimes Park. Tree guards have been installed to
help protect the trunks from further deer damage. Shuler discussed the current middle school, high school and college softball and baseball seasons, noting that Trenton will host the District 16 High School Girls Softball Tournament Oct. 16, 17 and 19, with the final game to be played during the Missouri Day Festival. Shuler told the board that an additional swing frame has been ordered to accommodate a wheelchair swing, with the frame to arrive this month. Construction on that part of a handicapped accessible playground will start after the frame is here. The swings for that area were purchased with funds from the Trenton Rotary Club. The next meeting is scheduled for 5:15 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 6.

Ag Labor Survey Collection This Month The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service will continue its biannual Agricultural Labor Survey during the second half of October. The survey will collect information about hired labor from more than 1,300 Missouri farmers and ranchers. “Labor data are critical to farming operations and data about the use of hired workers helps administer farm labor programs,� said Missouri State Statistician Bob Garino. “The data that farm operators provide through NASS’s Agricultural Labor Survey help leaders, associations, and farmers themselves make decisions based on accurate information.� USDA and the U.S. Department of Labor will use statistics gathered in the Agricultural Labor Survey to establish minimum wage rates for agricultural workers, administer farm labor recruitment and placement service programs, and assist legislators in determining labor policies. In the survey, NASS asks participants to answer a variety of questions about hired farm labor on their operations, including total number of hired farm workers, hours worked, and wages paid for the weeks of July 7-13 and October 6-12. For their convenience, survey participants have the option to respond online. NASS will compile, analyze, and publish survey results in the Nov. 21 Farm Labor report. All previous Farm Labor publications are available online at: www.nass.usda.gov/Publications/Reports_by_Release_Day. For more information on NASS surveys and reports, persons can call the NASS Heartland Regional Field Office at 1-800551-1014.

FAMILY PHOTO ALBUM KEEPERS CAN USE PHOTOJOURNALISM TIPS Cellphones with cameras bring snapshot photos into view every day. But, I doubt communication improves. What does a dinner-plate photo tell? You had to be there. At the Missouri Photo Workshop in Boonville, 39 photographers came to learn to tell stories with their cameras. The week-long MU learning taught more than pictures. Photography changed so much in 71 years in the life of the workshop. Cameras changed. Photo distribution changed. Storytelling changed. Now the workshop name should say “photojournalism� instead of “photo.� In my introductory talk I told that photojournalism means pictures AND words. We used to think photos told stories. The myth survives: “A photo is worth a thousand words.� Photos done right are powerful. It’s astounding how
efficient photos convey impact and details. But every photo raises more questions than it answers. Without added words, photos mislead. We bring our own ideas to each photo. Words clarify and expand meanings, improving visuals. Every photograph deserves at least a few words. In photojournalism there should be at least a couple of lines of text with each photo to answer questions. They’re called “captions.� Basic questions captions answer: Who, What, When, Where and maybe Why. These are basics of a news story. Another question told in the attached story is "How." That’s tough, not answered in few words. At the workshop, there’s more to learn. It’s about story telling. A series of photos tell powerful stories. That’s the assignment for the week. Find a situation to tell in 10 or 12 pho-

In September, the Trenton High School conservation class learned about the make-up of a pond and fishing. Students learned about the types of fish and researched what kind of bait they like. Students made their own bait from a bait making kit that includes plastisol, molds, scents and glitters to put in the baits. Guest speaker Cliff Wilson talked about ponds, including what is good for ponds and what they’re used for. He also talked about the conditions of ponds, pond turnover and what kind of fish should be in a pond. The class then fished for three days at the Barton Farm Campus. On the first day, eight fish were caught, while a few more were caught on the second and third days. Pictured above are Eric Wong, left, who got his very first fish ever, and Kayli Crawford, right, with a fish she caught and says it is the first she can remember. (Submitted by Isiah Lovell)

they need concise writing skills. Family snapshot recorders can benefit. Learn to add words to all photo shows. Cover basic questions raised by your photos. Who are these people? Confirm what they seem to do. Add words to digital formats and each page of family albums. Tell names and dates to help next-generations viewers. Editing is a skill that improves story telling. Cull your photos. Don’t show all. Just use your best story-telling pictures. With digital camera, you shoot hundreds of images in one event. If you shoot three photos, one will be better than the other two. Show your best. Editing made workshoppers sweat. They are limited to making 400 frames for the week. They squealed at that rule. But, limiting photos makes editing down to a 12photo story easier. Your viewers will like an edit. Cliff Edom, MU professor, started teaching photojournalism. His ideas grow and are taught today, an amazing legacy. Our workshop teachers come from top U.S. media. They donate their skills. Tell your snapshot plans to duanedailey7@gmail.com.

tos. The main mandate for the week: “No posed pictures.� This keeps photos true to the scene with no outside influence. This takes watching, waiting and learning before snapping the shutter. Photos must tell truth. If the rules of the workshop were followed by all Facebook photographers, there’d be few pictures for us to see. Selfies by their nature are “posed,� not “decisive moments.� What a change in impact. Every family snapshot maker can improve photo documents of kinfolk. Try it. It’s not sneaky; it’s unobtrusive and honest documents. After a workshop, photographers go away changed. Over time photographers coming to the workshop changed. In olden days it drew press photographers. They were sent by newspaper to improve their story-telling photos. Now few newspapers pay photographers to leave work for a week. Mostly, these are young photographers still seeking jobs or active freelancers. They come skilled in photo mechanics. They outdo me coping with digital cameras and computers. But, they lack story-telling skills. They’re raised seeing Twitter and Facebook images. Most of all,

Dear Annie: I've been divorced for a long time. My exhusband, "Joe," is living with "Sue." She is the one who broke us up. I don't care about that part anymore; she can have him. I'm upset because my granddaughter got married recently, and they gave Sue a corsage, too. When I saw them give it to her, I said to myself, "What the heck?" My other daughter was with me and she said, "Get over it, Ma." I was hurt but said nothing. After the wedding, when they were taking pictures, they said, "Let's have the grandparents." Sue walked up with my ex. Again, I said nothing. My ex is not married to Sue, even though they have been together for a long time, which is why my other daughter said she got the flowers. Does sleeping with Grandpa make you Grandma? These are my granddaughters. I birthed their mothers. I gave up my weekends to babysit the granddaughters. I picked them up from day care and took them to my house until someone could 10 DAYS

ear Annie pick them up. I was always there. Do I have to share my title of Grandma with Grandpa's girlfriend? -- Am I Wrong Dear Am I Wrong: Love is not a finite resource. That your granddaughters show love to Sue does not mean they care any less for you. The fact is that this isn't about you vs. Sue or even you vs. your ex. Whether or not you think it's fair, they are both going to be a part of your children's and grandchildren's lives. Now it's for you to decide how you'll behave. I suggest you try out being the bigger person. You might be amazed how much better you feel. And remember, Sue is not the one who broke you up: Give your ex-husband the credit for that. Dear Annie: I have been living with the same guy for 25 years. We have a 22-year-old daughter together. I am listed as a dependent on his taxes. I have not worked a job since our daughter was born.

Britain has just completed its biggest repatriation since World War II, flying back some 150,000 travelers stranded by the collapse of tour operator Thomas Cook. Questions remain as to how the travel firm went bust. In some ways, its demise was a long time in the making. Sky-high debts accumulated over the years and it faced growing competition from the likes of Airbnb and online startups. But it’s unlikely the company’s collapse would have happened quite so suddenly were it not for the impact of

He bought a condo 10 years ago, and just decided to sell it. And now he just tossed me away. Do I have any rights? -- Left Behind Dear Left Behind: By default, unmarried couples don't have any rights to each other's property. Unless you two had drafted a property agreement, I'm afraid you're out of luck here. Additionally, according to the legal resource Nolo, "In most states, neither unmarried partner is entitled to receive any alimony-type support after a breakup unless there is proof of a clear agreement to provide post-separation support." I am sorry that your 25-year relationship has come to an end. In time, you'll feel more set free than tossed away.
Questions remain as to how the travel firm went bust. Sky high debt and the fall of the pound were contributing factors.
Brexit. Though Britain may still be in the departure lounge of the European Union ahead of the scheduled Brexit date of Oct. 31, the impact of the country’s vote in June 2016 to leave the bloc had a profound impact on Thomas Cook. For one, the 15% fall in the pound in the aftermath of the referendum made trips abroad more expensive for British holidaymakers. That was one reason why visits overseas by U.K. residents were down 4% in the three months to June compared with the year before. Thomas Cook had been in business for 178 years. The summer of 2019 proved to be one too many.
