Green Hills Recreation Association Green Hills Recreation Association is one of the newest local organizations, created in 2017 to provide organized recreation opportunities for community youth. The mission of the association is “to provide the youth and adults of the Green Hills Area opportunities to participate in recreational activities.” A board of directors, comprised of volunteers from throughout the community, oversees operations of the organization, which currently provides recreation opportunities in the area of baseball/softball, basketball, soccer, disc golf and other sports that are currently in the development stage.

In 2018, GHRA served 263 youth with the help of 56 adult coach volunteers. There are 194 athletes and 44 volunteers who participated in the recently-completed winter basketball program. In addition, approximately 20 high school- and college-age youth

serve as umpires and referees during the various competitions.

The community has been very supportive of the GHRA, with over 37 businesses and organizations stepping up to sponsor teams and provide financial support. The sponsorships help keep participation costs down for local families while helping with operating expenses of the organization.

“The Green Hills Recreation Association is a testament to what can be accomplished when community leaders join together to take action to address an identified need,” their nomination form stated. “Without the volunteers involved, sharing of their time and talents, area youth would have no choice but to pursue recreational opportunities outside of the community. Due to the success of the organization, area youth have a variety of recreational choices to take advantage of in their home community while brining all sectors of the community together to support the mission and goals of this outstanding organization.”

Taya Ray is president of the board.

Other officers are Nate Gamet, vice president; Cara McClellan, secretary; Leslie Woodard, treasurer; and Amy Dixon, Jason Foster, Tiffany Otto, Tammy Meeker, Adria Moore, Shannon Price and Craig Sager, board members.

SPORTS CLASS 3 STATE QUARTERFINAL BASKETBALL

Trenton Bulldogs 50, St. Pius X Warriors 35

MARCH ON Trenton Girls Are State-Bound After 50-35 Quarterfinal Win

The lights in the fieldhouse at Lee’s Summit High School went out.

A police officer piped on a whistle.

The message to the throng of Trenton High School players and fans lingering on the court was they could stay no longer.

But it didn’t matter.

Whether it was on the court, at a nearby restaurant or back home in Trenton, this party was going to continue because the Trenton girls basketball team is going back to the Show-Me Showdown.

The Bulldogs overcame an uncharacteristic first quarter and produced yet another veteran effort in the fourth period, defeating St. Pius X 50-35 Saturday in the state quarterfinals. The win, Trenton’s 26th in a row, sends the Bulldogs to Springfield for the Show-Me Showdown just two years after a team made up of largely the same players punched the program’s first-ever ticket to the marquee basketball event in the state.

Trenton’s normally sharp defense was tested early as St. Pius hit the Bulldogs for 14 first-quarter points.

The Warriors’ quickness posed problems for Trenton and the Bulldogs yielded six field goals and trailed 149 after the initial eight minutes. “We talked the last two days in practice about not underestimating (St. Pius’) athleticism and speed,�

Trenton Head Coach Brian Upton said. “I could see it in film, but I’m not sure the girls could. I don’t know that the message resonated with our girls and it caused us to change defenses. We hadn’t played any (of) what we call our monster match-up zone all year. St. Pius was in a rhythm. We’re used to giving up 28, 29 points in a game and when we gave up 14 in the first quarter, it wasn’t looking good.�

Trenton battened down the hatches in the second frame. St. Pius could not get to the hoop the way it had in the opening quarter. Ainsley Tolson

knocked down a three-pointer early and a Mykah Hurley drive to the bucket tied the game at 14. The Trenton run continued with a pair of free throws by Tolson and the Bulldogs had their first lead of the afternoon at 16-14. St. Pius momentarily re-took the lead with a three-pointer, but that was the Warriors’ only points of the quarter. A bucket by Lexi Whitaker in the final minute gave Trenton a 19-17 halftime advantage. “We knew it was going to be on the defensive end if we were going to win this game.� Tolson said. “We tried to pick up the intensity and we switched from zone to man and that really shook up (St. Pius) on offense.�

Trenton would not trail in the second half. The Bulldogs worked their way to a six-point advantage midway through the third quarter and led 2924 entering the decisive frame.

As has been the case on this journey in the state playoffs, Trenton saved its best for last. The Bulldogs outscored St. Pius 21-9 over the final eight minutes to close out the victory and punch their ticket to Springfield. “This is for the most part a veteran group,� Upton said. “These girls have a knack of finishing games. If we have a lead, even if it’s a small lead, we have a knack for hitting the big basket, of hitting our free throws, getting a defensive stop and keeping the pressure on the other team. Every time (the other team) goes on a possession without scoring, it just ratchets up a little bit to something they are probably not capable of doing. The last several games we have expanded our lead in the fourth quarter and kind of won it going away. That’s not indicative of how the game was played – it was close throughout, but I just credit the kids on that. They are great basketball players and they know how to finish a game.�

The Bulldogs’ fourth quarter showed once again why experience matters at this stage of the season. In a game where officials rewarded drives to the basket with free throws on both ends, Tolson took over going to the hoop time and time again down

the stretch. She connected on all eight of her fourth-quarter free throw attempts and finished the game a perfect 15-of-15 from the line. “Every quarter it’s one more, one more quarter,� Tolson said. “That was the mindset going into the fourth. I just kept telling everybody ‘one more quarter and we’re there, one more and we’re there.’ We came out with a lot of intensity. (St. Pius) picked up the press and we’re pretty good at breaking the press, so it worked out in our favor.�

Tolson’s biggest highlights, however, weren’t the fouls she drew. She handed out two major assists in the final frame - one to Sidney Lynch and the other to Salem Croy. On the assist to Croy, Tolson faked a pass to her right before elevating toward the basket, only to reach the pass around a defender to Croy on her left for an easy two. “It’s a lot of experience, a lot of games that I’ve played,� Tolson, who played her school-record 113th game for the Bulldogs, said of her last-second passing on the assists. “It kind of builds up. I don’t know, it’s just kind of the last second and I know that they are there and that they are going to make the lay-up. It’s easier for them to make a wide-open lay-up than it is for me to make an off-balance one.�

In addition to Tolson’s fourth-quarter heroics, Whitaker made perhaps the play of the game in the fourth quarter as she drove the baseline, going up for a shot from underneath the backboard. As she twisted to get an angle on the hoop, she reached the ball out as far as she could, flipping the ball up for it to come splashing back down through the net. At a time when Trenton was on the verge of putting the game out of reach, Whitaker’s bucket seemed to do just that. “I was planning on just trying to calm it down and hold it back,�

Whitaker said. “But, I saw Mykah coming and setting a screen and the baseline was wide open. So, I just thought ‘I’m going to take this shot.’ Every day we practice those shots

from under the basket, so I had a pretty good idea I could make it. I had confidence in it.�

After the initial first quarter surge, St. Pius was significantly stifled the rest of the way. Trenton yielded just four field goals in the second, third and fourth quarters combined. St. Pius managed just 19 points the rest of the game after the 14 it scored in the opening eight minutes.

Offensively, Tolson’s 15 free throws made up the bulk of her gamehigh 24 points. She also had five rebounds and four assists in the win.

Maci Moore, who was in and out of the game due to mounting fouls, eventually picked up her fifth with three minutes left in the contest. She still managed seven points and six rebounds, however. Trenton also got six points each from Hurley and Croy with Hurley adding four steals.

Whitaker’s five points and Lynch’s two rounded out Trenton’s 50-point effort.

The win was the 100th in the career’s of Trenton’s five seniors. The class now has a four-year mark of 100-13.

Trenton will now venture back to the Show-Me Showdown, which has moved to Springfield since Trenton advanced to the final four in Columbia two years ago. Tolson acknowledged the two Show-Me Showdown teams from Trenton are very different, but pointed that the driving force for both squads is the same. “It’s a way different team,� Tolson said. “But, in both years we all just wanted it together. We wanted to keep on going because we love each other so much. I think that is the comparison between both of those teams.�

Trenton will be an underdog for the first time all season when it faces three-time defending state champion Strafford in the semifinals on Thursday at 8:30 p.m. in the JQH Arena on the campus of Missouri State University. Strafford, at 31-0, is ranked first in the state at the Class 3 level and has won its last 113 games – a state record. Trenton, at 26-0, is ranked second in the state at the Class 3 level.

North Central Pirates 66, St. Louis Archers 60

AT LONG LAST NCMC Men Claim First Region Championship

The scene in the North Central Missouri College men’s basketball team’s locker room was already chaotic when Head Coach Jeremy Esry walked in the door on Saturday night. Excited players were shouting and bouncing up and down.

Without hesitation, Esry bounded into the fray.

North Central captured a Region 16 championship with a 66-60 victory over St. Louis Community College at Lincoln University in Jefferson City. It is the first region championship ever for the North Central men and the Pirates were going to celebrate. “That’s one of the best feelings that I have had basketballwise,� Esry said of the team’s locker room celebration. “Just to see the joy on their faces and how excited they were.

More so, they earned it. It’s nice whenever you work that hard for something to reward yourself and celebrate a little bit. That was an awesome feeling.�

The Pirates, defeated by St. Louis twice during the regular season, played into the

Archers’ pace of play as the game slowed. It was North Central’s defense, however, that would give the Pirates the upperhand in the third meeting between the two schools. “We made (St. Louis) take tough shots and I think the biggest thing is that we held them to one shot on each possession,� Esry said. “We didn’t allow offensive rebounds and we didn’t allow them to get second and third looks. We went zone in the second half and that caused St. Louis a lot of issues with our length.�

The Pirates trailed by a single point at halftime, 28-27, but were able to surge ahead in the second half, forcing St. Louis to try to speed up the game. Rather than up their own pace, North Central began deliberately slowing down the game. St. Louis was able to stay close, but four free throws from Yacento Scott Jr. at the end iced the region title for the Pirates.

Individual statistics from the Pirates region championship victory were not available as of press time. “Cameron Lockett played

Kids Club At Regionals The Trenton Kids Wrestling Club was in action at the region tournament at Winnetonka High School over the weekend.

Six Trenton wrestlers advanced to next week’s state tournament at the Hy-Vee Arena in Kansas City. Leading the way for Trenton was Brayden Hughs, who placed first in the 12U/115-pound division. Trenton had runners-up in Chase Foster (10U/130), Hunter McAtee (14U/100) and Caleb Dixon (8U/70). Charlie Riley (12U/110) and Sam Gibson (14U/155) were each third in their respective divisions.

Class 1, District 14 Teams The Class 1, All-District 14 basketball teams selected by the district coaches have been announced.

Local girls named to the squad included Tori Meinecke, Aubrey Wilson and Rayne Kost, all of Mercer, and TriCounty’s Jadan Almond. On the boys’ side, Hunter Shipley and Cam Hartley, both from Mercer, were named to the squad.

Chiefs Place Tag On Dee Ford KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs are placing the franchise tag on outside linebacker Dee Ford after the best season of his career, though that could be just the first step in their dealings with him.

The decision was made on Saturday, a person familiar with it told The Associated Press, three days before the league's deadline for franchising players. But the Chiefs have discussed signing Ford to a long-term deal, and they are open to trade possibilities as they switch their base defenses.

The franchise tag for an outside linebacker next season is just over $15.4 million, though the Chiefs have expressed interest in signing Ford to a long-term deal. They are also open to trading him if the right offer came along as they switch from a 3-4 to a 4-3 base defense.

really well and that was the second game in a row that he had a double-double,� Esry said. “He was a beast on the block and he did a good job of sharing the basketball as well when (St. Louis) started double teaming him. Jordan Reece was the normal Jordan Reece in transition. He got out in passing lanes and got some steals so he could get down and get some dunks.�

After winning the first region championship in program history, the Pirates were rewarded with five all-region picks and the region’s coach of the year honor. Esry was named the Region 16 Coach of the Year while Reece, Lockett, Soloman Thomas and Marty Jackson were all first-team allregion selections. Quinan Rieves was a second-team allregion choice.

With the win, NCMC improved to 17-12 overall on the season.

NCAA BASKETBALL

Youth Lead Mizzou To SEC Victory COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — The youth movement has helped sustain Missouri basketball all season. A trio of freshmen — Javon Pickett, Xavier Pinson and Torrence Watson — have given hope to Tigers fans in a year where postseason play is unlikely.

Watson was the star against South Carolina on Saturday.

The freshman guard scored 20 points and showcased his range, hitting a pair of clutch 3s down the stretch to keep the Gamecocks at bay. Missouri proceeded to defeat South Carolina 78-63.

The Gamecocks cut the Tigers' lead from 10 to four with 5:54 remaining. On the next possession, Watson drilled a 3-pointer. After another Gamecocks' basket, Watson knocked down a triple to extend Missouri's lead to eight with 4:34 left.

Missouri (13-15, 4-12 Southeastern Conference) held off South Carolina's push from that point on. It was Watson's second consecutive game as the team's leading scorer. He finished 4 for 9 from beyond

the arc.

"Tonight, I was just feeling it," Watson said. "My teammates did a great job of getting me the ball. It makes a really big difference when you see shots go in."

Hassani Gravett led South Carolina (14-15, 9-7) with 20 points. But the team's leading scorer for the season, forward Chris Silva, was in foul trouble all game and fouled out with 1:44 remaining. He played just 15 minutes and scored 12 points. "(Silva) creates a lot of activity on both sides of the ball," Missouri coach Cuonzo Martin said. "When he's in foul trouble, that's a different team."

The Tigers took advantage of Silva's limited time. Forward Kevin Puryear scored 18 points, including 8 for 9 from the free-throw line. Puryear is averaging 6.9 points per game and has not scored in doubledigits in conference play this season.

"I've really been struggling

in SEC play as far as putting the ball in the hole," Puryear said. "To finally see the ball go through the rim like that is a good feeling."

The Gamecocks also played without their second leading scorer, A.J. Lawson, who suffered a low left ankle sprain on Tuesday against Alabama.

Rotary Club Has Two Programs The Rotary District Grant Program and Trenton High School girls basketball were topics of programs presented to members of the Trenton Rotary Club on Thursday, Feb. 28.

Incoming club president Tim Michael and Phil Hoffman discussed the availability of district grant funds for a local community project, with the Trenton club being able to receive up to $10,500 by committing to up to a $3,500 match. Michael said the district has $300,000 available for clubs and that if Trenton is selected in the first round of grant projects, there might be a possibility for the club to receive funds for a secondary project. The club has discussed efforts to provide a storage area for items used in the Bright Futures Trenton program, which provides assistance to students and families in need within the Trenton R9 School District. Hoffman noted that items such as shoes, school supplies, clothing, etc., are currently being stored in several different places and that Bright Futures would like to have those items available in a single area. It was noted that the grant would not allow for construction of a building, however, the funds could be used to renovate an existing site as well as provide needed equipment. Members would

also be asked to provide “sweat equity� in the project.

The deadline to apply for the grant is April 1 and a committee has already been formed to work on the grant application.

School officials are providing information regarding the storage area needs, which will be submitted as part of the grant application. Clubs are expected to hear if they are successful applicants in May, with work to be done in the fall.

The project must be completed

by May 2020.

THS girls basketball coach and Rotarian Brian Upton also talked about the team and answered questions posed by club president Dr. Lenny Klaver. Upton said “Make It Count� has been the theme of this year’s season, which has seen the team remain undefeated and be one of eight teams still in contention for the Class 3 state basketball title.

He noted that the team, which includes five seniors who have played together since grade school, plays with a lot of confidence and “are a great group of girls,� both on and off the court.

The club will meet again on March 7 with Micah Landes as program chairman. Stephanie Williams of the North Central Missouri Business Facilitation Group will present the program.

BRIGHT FUTURES LUNCH BUDDY PROGRAM This year, S.M. Rissler Bright Futures Site Council initiated the Lunch Buddy Program. This program is an excellent opportunity for adults from all walks of life to make a difference in the life of a child. The Lunch Buddy Program works to match positive, consistent adult mentors to elementary-aged youth at S.M. Rissler to improve student peer relationships and strengthen positive connections to school.

A Lunch Buddy volunteer allows a student someone to eat with, someone to talk to, someone to listen to, and someone a child can depend on to be there for them. A Lunch Buddy volunteer dedicates themselves to meet with the child during the student’s lunch hour once every two weeks to help the child gain better relationships with their peers and feel better about their school community. Lunch Buddy volunteers may eat a school lunch or bring one of their own, and will sit with their lunch buddy

for approximately 25 minutes.

During this time, volunteers and buddies enjoy lunch together, share stories about common interests, read a book, or play a game.

So, what are the benefits to students? Research shows that a positive relationship with a mentor can greatly enhance a child’s self-esteem, academic and long-term success.

Students in mentoring relationships are less likely to: â—? miss school â—? consume illegal drugs â—? engage in school violence, or â—? try alcohol or illegal drugs Mentored students are more likely to: â—? have higher GPAs â—? go to college â—? have positive relationships with parents and peers, and â—? have a better attitude toward school, family, and careers.

The benefits of a program such as Lunch Buddies are end-

less. Current research suggests that children who have an adult mentor are 55 percent more likely to enroll in college and 130 percent more likely to hold a leadership position later in life.

(The Mentor Effect, 2014) Additionally, mentoring also encourages positive social relationships and has a lasting impact on a child's trust and communication skills. (The Role of Risk, 2013) What are the benefits to mentors? Thirty minutes of a mentor’s time every other week pays dividends to the student and to the community for years to come.

Mentors have the opportunity to: â—? Share their talents, experience, and wisdom â—? Gain deeper insight into the challenges that students and schools are facing in our current culture â—? Celebrate successes and learning opportunities â—? Be a part of developing a child's self-efficacy and helping them to say: "I CAN!" If you are interested in positively impacting the life of a child in our community, sharing your time, talent and treasure, I encourage you to volunteer to serve as a Lunch Buddy. For further information, please contact Terri Critten or Tiffany Otto at S.M. Rissler Elementary School.

Trenton Lions Club Meets Trenton Lions Club met on Tuesday, Feb. 26, in the First Christian Family Activity Center.

Seth Cox, president, led the pledge to the US. flag followed by a prayer from Rev. Steve Martin. Jim Cox served as “tail twister.�

Rev. Martin introduced Tony Figg, who presented the program on the Chillicothe Area Christian Builders organization. Based on the principles espoused by Habitat for Humanity, the Chillicothe Area Christian Builders are committed to offering simple, decent, affordable housing to qualifying persons in the Chillicothe area. Since 1998, these volunteers have built one house each year. The process is initiated each August with a selection meeting, where applicant families are screened through demonstration of financial need, ability to pay back a 20year, interest-free mortgage nd willingness to partner through 250 hours of “sweat equity.�

Money paid back through mortgage payments is then used to finance the construction of the next home. Christian Builders volunteer their labor, but contract for drywall, electrical, and plumbing installation.

Trenton Lions Club will next hold its monthly business meeting at noon on Tuesday, March 5.

How To Curtail Wedding Spending & Still Impress Guests Tying the knot can be an expensive endeavor. The average cost of a wedding was more than $33,000 in 2017..

That figure may surprise some couples planning their weddings, many of whom may not be able to afford spending so much on their ceremonies and receptions.

Couples may feel pressure to compete with friends and relatives whose weddings they have attended in the past, and that may compel some to stretch their budgets and even go into debt to finance their nuptials. However, there are ways for couples to curtail their wedding spending and impress guests at the same time.

• Trim the guest list. The 2017 Real Weddings Study found that couples spent an average of $268 per guest in 2017. Many couples are recognizing that smaller guest lists are a great way to lower wedding spending, and The Knot study found that the average guest count decreased from 149 in 2009 to 136 in 2017. Trimming the guest list may seem harsh, but couples who work together need not cut their guest lists in half. By working together, couples can likely find between 10 and 15 acquaintances on their initial lists who won’t be offended if they’re not invited.

Couples who spend the 2017 average per guest can save nearly $3,000 by removing just 10 people from their guest lists.

• Expand your venue horizons. A greater number of couples are looking beyond traditional wedding venues and opting for more unique locales to tie the knot. The 2017 Real Weddings Study found that 15 percent of 2017 weddings were held on farms, ranches and even in barns, while just 2 percent of weddings were hosted in such venues in 2009. The growing popularity of unique wedding

venues may make some locations more expensive than couples anticipate, but a willingness to tie the knot in a unique venue greatly increases couples’ options, improving the chances they will find more affordable venues.

• Cut back on guest entertainment. Customizing experiences for guests is a major reason why today’s couples are spending so much more per guest than their predecessors. Spending for customized guest entertainment, which includes things like photo booths, sparklers and video booths, tripled between 2009 and 2017. Couples may want to give their guests unique experiences, but should not stretch their budgets or go into debt to do so.

• Tie the knot in winter.

Summer and fall were the most popular wedding seasons in 2017, and that does not figure to change anytime soon. Couples can take advantage of those trends by getting married in winter, a slow season for wedding venues and vendors, who might be more flexible with their prices. The most popular months to tie the knot in 2017

were September, June and October, so couples who don’t want to wed in winter but want to avoid paying top prices should avoid those three months.

Weddings are expensive, but couples can find ways to cut costs without sacrificing quality.

Tips For Choosing A Wedding Reception Menu Weddings are memorable for a host of reasons. While couples remember their weddings because they mark the day they officially tied the knot, guests may remember weddings for other reasons, including the food served at the reception.

Some wedding venues are known for their stunning landscapes, while others build their reputations on unique interiors that provide unforgettable ambiance. But regardless of where weddings take place, guests are liable to discuss the food served at the reception. Guests might rave about the escargot or complain that the fish was flaky,

but couples who choose reception menus wisely can go a long way toward ensuring there are more compliments than complaints once the dinner bell rings.

• Don’t zero in on specialties. According to The Knot 2017 Real Weddings Study, a survey of nearly 13,000 brides and grooms who tied the knot in 2017, the average wedding hosted 136 guests.

While couples might be tempted by specialty dishes when choosing their wedding menus, couples who are hosting dozens, if not hundreds, of guests should keep things simple.

• Consider potential allergies. In regard to entrées, make sure guests with food allergies can choose something that won’t make them sick. According to Food Allergy Research & Education®, an organization devoted to improving the quality of life of individuals with food allergies, some common foods cause the majority of allergic reactions.

Peanuts, soy, sesame, and shellfish are among the most common food allergies, according to FARE®. FARE also notes that allergies to

wheat, milk and eggs are common in children. While such foods can still be served at wedding receptions, make sure to also include foods that are unlikely to trigger allergic reactions. Couples can even ask guests to inform them of any food allergies.

• Don’t hesitate to offer a favorite food. While specialty entrées might not be a great choice, especially at large receptions where lots of mouths must be fed, a couple who has a favorite food that’s symbolic of their relationship should not hesitate to offer it during the cocktail hour. For example, a couple who met in Thailand may want to offer a favorite Thai dish.

• Offer an elaborate

dessert. The last bite guests will take is dessert, so couples who want their guests to go home raving about the food may want to offer something special after the entrées have been taken away. Some guests may not indulge, but those who do might end their nights thinking about the delicious dessert they enjoyed as the festivities drew to a close. If the dessert is especially unique, offer something more traditional alongside it for more hesitant guests.

Choosing a wedding menu should be fun. Menus should reflect not only couples’ tastes but also include some popular foods so no one goes home hungry.

Dear Annie: I like doing kind things for people. It makes me feel good. I believe my kind acts should be appreciated but not be expected. Is that wrong? Most of the time, what starts off as a kind act ends up with expectations of more. Sometimes these expectations can be difficult to manage and are so far from what I intended. In the end, the recipient is angry when I pull back, or I feel used if I don't. It's too much stress. How do you not go from kindness to resentment? What am I doing wrong? -- Trying to Be Kind Dear Trying to Be Kind: Anyone who acts entitled to your generosity doesn't deserve it, and you shouldn't feel guilty for putting some space between such a person and yourself. Boundaries are the foundation of a healthy social life. Lay some down, and resolve not to pay any mind to another's unfair expectations of you.

I also think you could benefit from examining your own role in this pattern. Why do you do these kind things, and why do you do them for people who don't treat you well? If

your self-worth is tied up in the idea that you're a generous person, you should disentangle it. You are worthy and enough; you do not need to go out of your way to prove this through gestures. To be clear, I'm not saying you shouldn't be generous. But true generosity can exist only for its own sake, not for the ego's. Frank A. Clark said, "Real generosity is doing something nice for someone who will never find out."

Dear Annie: My wife and I have been together for 17 years, and we have two wonderful daughters.

Being busy with work and kids' activities, we share our weekly schedule and commitments in an online calendar so that we know what is going on during the week.

Last week, she entered in the shared calendar a meeting with a "grieving support group" that she will attend soon. To my knowledge, nothing bad happened recently in our family, and I really have no idea what she is grieving about.

When I asked her whether she could tell me the reason for her grieving, her answer was a

sharp and angry "No!" without any explanation.

I feel sad and bothered by all this. It is not the mystery that bothers me. (I don't think there is anything wrong with a little privacy in a couple.) What bothers me is she feels that I couldn't be of any help with her grief and that I am not entitled to even know about it. If I were grieving, she would be the first person I would talk to for emotional support. Am I being unreasonable? -- Lost in Grief Dear Lost in Grief: You can't pry a bud open before it's time to bloom, and you can't force a loved one to open up before she's ready. I commend you for being patient so far and encourage you to keep that up for a little longer. I don't think your wife's entering this on the calendar was an accident; I think that deep down, she does want you to know. But she will have to tell you in her own time. In the meantime, let her know that you love her, that you are here for her and that she can tell you anything.

Retail defaults ease

debt payments.

But challenges remain intense for the weakest, says Moody’s.

Four retailers — Academy, Neiman Marcus, J. Crew and PetSmart — now account for nearly 71 percent of the $22.8 billion in outstanding distressed retail debt, according to Moody’s.

Upcoming debt payments could put pressure on a group of companies that include J.C. Penney, Rite Aid and Petco Animal Supplies.

“The Toys R Us bankruptcy is a cautionary reminder of what can unexpectedly go wrong in a refinancing” for a weak retailer, wrote Moody’s Manoj Chadha in a recent report.

The retail sector has had a bruising three years, ranking among the highest default rates across U.S. industries.

But the rate should ease to 4.3 percent a year from now after peaking at 19 percent in April of 2017, says Moody’s Investors Service.

That’s because many troubled retailers like Toys R Us, Bon-Ton and Sears Holdings have fallen off the list because they either filed for bankruptcy or liquidated. The number of companies rated Caa1 and lower has now dropped to 17, down from 26 in 2017. A rating of Caa1 or below indicates a company is at high risk for defaulting on their
