In the game about crowning homecoming royalty, the Clinton Red Tornadoes football team (4-5, 4-2) found itself on the wrong side of the score for the second straight week, as it fell 49-0 to the Elgin Owls (9-0, 6-0).
Former Clinton resident Mark Roberts and his partner recently won the National Senior Games in Des Moines, Iowa, in pickleball. They fell to the loser’s bracket out of 26 teams and stormed their way back to win the title. Roberts said the “Red Tornado spirit” came out of him to achieve the victory.

DEAR HARRIETTE: I’ve been a therapist for over 20 years, and while I’ve found deep meaning in helping others heal, lately the work has become emotionally exhausting. I listen to people’s pain all day, and I can feel it sinking into me. Sometimes I come home completely depleted, with nothing left to give to my own family or myself. I’ve tried taking breaks, going to supervision, even attending therapy myself but the burnout doesn’t seem to lift. I’m starting to wonder if I’ve simply given all I can in this field.
Sometimes I think we should stay someplace fancier. All our friends do. When my husband, Peter, and I are in Mexico, we stay at Casa de los Soles, a small group of apartment-style rooms owned by our gracious landlord, Jorge. We came here three years ago, when our lodging plans in another town fell through. It was high season, and we were very worried there would be nothing available. But Jorge answered my frantic plea on a San Miguel de Allende Facebook page, and we were delighted with the small, clean apartment in the center of town, just outside the bustling artisan market.
