The water flooding the Trenton Municipal Airport was typical of many locations throughout Grundy County as heavy rains drenched the area over the weekend. Since Friday, 3.09 inches of rain has been recorded at the Government Weather Station in Trenton with more rain anticipated this week. As of Tuesday morning, Trenton has received 9.98 inches of rain during the month of May.
TRENTON R-9 BOARD OF EDUCATION
Blue Cross/Blue Shield Will Be Provider
R-9 Stays With Current Insurance The Trenton R-9 Board of Education reversed course on Thursday, May 23, rescinding an earlier vote to contract with United Healthcare for employee health insurance and voting 4-3 to go with a revised bid from Blue Cross/ Blue Shield. The board held a special emergency meeting where Board President Doug Franklin said that the revisions from Blue Cross/Blue Shield had come down in just the previous several hours. The company had offered to match the bid submitted by United Healthcare, which had not the lowest but the best bid when board members voted 6-1 to contract with them at a May 20 meeting. National General had submitted the lowest bid at that time ($511.24), with Blue Cross/Blue Shield submitting a bid that was $658.34 per month versus United Healthcare’s bid of $601. Higher co-pays and pharmacy prices led to National General being eliminated as a contender for the contract.
Franklin said he had been in contact with the district’s attorney and attorneys from the Missouri School Boards Association. He said there were basically three options, according to the attorneys. The only option that held no legal risk was to rescind the vote to go with United Healthcare and re-bid the insurance coverage. The second least risky option, legally speaking was, according to the attorneys, to take the Blue Cross/Blue Shield bid, which could be deemed the best bid based on price and the fact that it would save the district in administrative time and cost due to not having to complete the required new paperwork for the district’s employees. The attorneys even said that staying with the United Healthcare bid could pose a legal risk as Blue Cross/Blue Shield could then sue based on being the best bid. Building principals had been alerted to

the situation early on Thursday and had surveyed teachers about what their preferences were. All three principals, Tiffany Otto at Rissler Elementary School, Daniel Gott at Trenton Middle School and Ron Franklin at Trenton High School, as well as R-9 Special Education Director Tara Hoffman, told the board that the majority of employees wished to stay with Blue Cross/Blue Shield, with the only real concern being the cost of the buy-up plan. With the revised Blue Cross/Blue Shield bid, both companies were offering a $93.57 buy-up plan. Charley Crimi, a Trenton Middle School teacher, asked where the money would come from if the district was sued and was told it would come from district funds. John Crimi spoke as a taxpayer and said he thought the board should back up and take the time to re-bid the insurance,

SPORTS HIGH SCHOOL TENNIS
Class 1 MSHSAA Tennis Championships
Shields, Houghton Score Medals Creed Houghton wrapped up his high school tennis career on Saturday at the Class 1 MSHSAA Boys Tennis Championships in Springfield. He never played number one for the Bulldogs. He never played number two. Trenton’s number-three player this year will go down in history, however. When Houghton and doubles partner Nick Shields - Trenton’s numberone player each of the past three seasons - collected sixth-place state medals on Saturday, Houghton became the first and only two-time state tennis medalist in the history of Trenton High School - boys or girls. Houghton and Shields were handed a first-round loss at the state tournament on Friday, falling 6-1, 6-1 to a team from Priory. But the Bulldog duo battled all the way back to the podium over their next two matches, bouncing back with a 6-2, 6-1 win over a team from Helias Catholic to keep their season alive. An ensuing 63, 6-2 victory over a Springfield Catholic team advanced the Trenton tandem to Saturday’s action and guaranteed them a medal. Shields and Houghton moved into the fifth-place match on Saturday with a 6-2, 5-7, 6-4 win over a
Kirksville duo. In the fifth-place match, Houghton and Shields were defeated 6-1, 6-1 by the same Priory team that handed them their opening-round loss, relegating the Bulldog team to a sixthplace state medal. “Nick and Creed had a wonderful tournament appearance, not the strongest start in their first match, but they turned it on the next two matches to get the medal rounds,” Trenton Coach David Sager said. “On day two, they got a rematch with Kirksville’s doubles team that our boys have had some close matches with in our regular season duals. It was a big win against a rival, but it set them up for a better spot on the medal podium. Nick and Creed have had amazing tennis careers for our school and it’s great to see them finish with a state medal. For Houghton, the medal was an improvement from a year ago when he and then-doubles partner Kade Ockenfels placed eighth in the doubles bracket at state. The 2019 medal was the first state medal for Shields, who was 0-2 at the state tournament last year while competing in the singles bracket. Gabe Swann was in singles action at state for Trenton for the second
year in a row, but suffered the same fate as he did in 2018, going 0-2 to end his season. Swann fell 7-6 in his opening set to an opponent from Warrensburg, losing a tiebreaker 7-2. He dropped the second set 6-0 to bump him to the consolation bracket. There Swann’s season ended with a hardfought 6-3, 4-6, 3-6 loss to a player from Fulton. Despite the 0-2 showing at state, Swann had a historic season that saw him win 25 singles and 38 combined matches - both set new school records. The 38 total wins broke Ockenfels’ mark of 32 last year, while the 25 singles victories eclipsed the old record of 20, which was reached by Craig Carpenter and Terry Prindle in 1988 and Stan Perry in 1977. “Gabe went two and out this year, but in his two matches he was always in the match and very close to getting the needed points to change the momentum,” Sager said. “Too many unforced errors in his second match was the determining factor in the marathon match with Fulton. Gabe is a scrapper and a very determined young man, so I know he’s going to do what he can to get back to the state tournament next season.” The state tournament concluded another successful season for the

Bulldogs. Trenton has captured team district titles in each of the past three seasons and the Bulldogs have advanced seven players to the individual state tournament in the last two years combined, coming away with a doubles state medal each year. “This was a good state weekend for
our players,” Sager said. “There are so many good young tennis players in our state and it makes me feel good that Nick, Creed and Gabe are on that list of players this year. Again, we had a good showing in Springfield and I know the boys enjoyed their experience.”
Class 3 MSHSAA Track & Field Championships
FOR THE RECORD
Trenton 4x400 Team Sets School Record At State When Trenton’s Lexi Whitaker came out of the final turn in the 4x400-meter relay on Saturday at the Class 3 MSHSAA Track and Field Championship in Columbia, she knew she had a chance. Whitaker eyed the finish line and gave it everything she had. While Trenton’s anchor crossed the line in third place, the team’s goal of breaking the school record in the event was realized. The board read: third, Trenton, 4:06.02. “At sectionals we were actu-
ally under a second away (from breaking the record),” Whitaker said. “We were like, ‘we got this, state will push us.’ I knew we had a chance because we all ran well. I saw the board with the times on it and I saw that we were getting pretty close. I just tried to push it so we could get that.” Whitaker, Kristi Ewing, McKayla Blackburn and Lexi Gott had been chasing the record of 4:06.13, set in 2012 by one of the most prolific sprint relay teams in school history. That team included

Chandler Wilson, Mackenzie Mack, Scotlin Hurley and Maddie Hooyman. “It’s pretty special to me because those are really good athletes,” Whitaker said. “Chandler went to Pitt State and it’s pretty special to break that time that they had.” It was a fantastic finish for a team that dominated all season, winning conference, district and sectional championships in the event along the way. For Whitaker and Ewing, it gave them two state medals on the day. Whitaker was also fourth in the 300-meter hurdles, finishing with a time of 46.7 and Ewing was fourth in the 400-meter dash with a time of 58.51. Trenton’s medal haul on the girls’ side was rounded out by Salem Croy, who won her third career state medal in the javelin. Croy placed fifth with a throw of 123-4. She was sixth last year as a junior and also medaled in the event during her freshman year in 2016. “This whole year I have been really inconsistent,” Croy said. “Last week I threw 113, so I just knew if I got one out there that it would hold and that’s what it did. The 123 I threw here was the best that I’ve ever thrown at state, so that was pretty cool. I’m just excited that I got a good one out there.” Croy got a throw of 121-8 during the first flight and that mark advanced her to the finals for the event. In the finals, Croy hit her medal-winning mark on her first of three throws. “I was in the first flight today and it’s the first time at any meet that I’ve ever been in the first flight - which is usually kind of for the girls that don’t throw as far. But you just have to think that you are (at state), so you are already top 16 in the state. You made it, so you deserve to be out here with these other girls.” Whitaker and Ewing were both also back-to-back state medalists. Both of them medaled in the 400-meter dash last season. Also in action at state for the Trenton girls were Mykah Hurley in the long jump and Maci Moore in the shot put. Hurley was 15th in the long jump with a mark of 15-5.25 while Moore placed 10th in the shot with a throw of 36-2.

Lexi Whitaker races in the 200-meter preliminaries on Saturday at the Class 3 MSHSAA Track and Field Championships in Columbia. Whitaker, running the anchor leg, helped Trenton’s 4x400-meter relay team place third with a new school record time of 4:06.02. Whitaker also medaled in the 300-meter hurdles, placing fourth.
Whitaker was also in action in the 200-meter dash where she finished 11th with a time of 26.25. As a team, Trenton collected 20 points, placing the Bulldogs 12th overall at state. TRENTON BOYS Trenton’s Brian Ewing spent all season trying to get to state after coming up short a year ago. He did that, advancing in all four of his events. Once he got to state, the Trenton sprinter made the most of the
opportunity. Ewing brought home three medals from his four events. Ewing was fourth in the 100meter dash with a time of 10.99 and fifth in the 200meter dash with a time of 22.43. In both events, Ewing had to come from the inside lane in preliminaries, running in the first heat both times. He finished the 100 prelim with a time of 11.04 - the fourthfastest qualifying time for the
finals. He was fourth-fastest in the 200-meter prelims as well, finishing that race with a time of 22.26. Ewing’s third medal came in the long jump where he lept 21-7.5 to place sixth. His fourth event, the 400-meter dash, saw him place 13th with a time of 51.88. Also in action for the Trenton boys was Carson Burchett, who placed 13th in the shot put with a throw of 46-7.75.

chairman. New officers will be installed at the June 18 meeting at the church. It was suggested the CWF host a meeting on a Sunday afternoon in August for all the women of the church. It will be a time to get acquainted with each other and learn how women can be an asset to the overall work of the church. A suggestion was also made for a program in December by a guest speaker. Mrs. Wimer led the program on the comparison between spring cleaning of our homes and the spring cleanup of our heart and soul. Members contributed memories of the extent of the traditional cleanup of the home each spring and fall when everything was moved, scrubbed and washed. Suggestions for cleaning the heart and soul were evaluated, get rid of junk, gather the tools, get the cleaners, get to work and keep it clean. The meeting closed with the CWF Prayer.
Members of the Antique Study Club met on April 28 at the home of Ann Constant. Mrs. Constant conducted a short business meeting. A program on cutting and bread boards was given by Brigette Bunnell, who has been collecting them for about 30 years. She told members that wood has been used for the boards throughout the centuries, with soft wood being the material of choice for a cutting board. Because they could be made smaller, they were also used to eat off of and some people referred to them as “trenchers.� Cutting boards began to be more and more used in the kitchens of North America. The rest of the world followed, but used different woods. The East used thick bamboo, Europe used maple and Persia used flat pieces of polished wood. But they all served the same purpose. The wooden boards that slide from under kitchen counters have long been used for cutting boards, but were actually utilized as bread boards, used to serve as counter extensions specifically for kneading bread. She said that vintage cutting
and bread boards come in many styles, including Swedish Oak, which is thick; Carl Aubock, which was designed in the 1950s; the oversized French cutting board; the American cutting board, made from pine and beechwood in the late 19th to early 20th centuries; the French Bread Butterfly, which has metal repair brackets; South Indian, made from woods local to South India; and the Kay Bojesen, known for its unique handle. Mrs. Bunnell said those who obtain an antique cutting board will want to give it a good cleaning. The best way to clean the board is to sprinkle it with coarse salt, scrub it with half a lemon and let it sit for five or more minutes. Then rinse the board, dry it thoroughly and rub on a food-safe oil. A cutting board should never be put in the dishwasher as it will warp and crack. The club took its annual pilgrimage on May 18, going to Vaile Victorian Mansion in Independence. There were 12 members taking the tour, which included a lunch in the historic Vivilore Restaurant in downtown Independence.
Monthly Birthday Celebration Held Princeton Manor Apartments held its monthly birthday anniversary celebration on Thursday, May 2. Attending were Betty Vandevender, Rose Smith, JoAnne Seward, Nina Petterson, Bill
Allen, Shirley Hudson, Dorothy Bastean, Sandra Sinclair, Virginia Atkinson, Marge Olson, Deanna Shull, Merribeth Copeland, Jerry Copeland and Cathy Scott.

ACROSS MISSOURI
Flood Buyout Costs Rise As Storms Intensify, Seas Surge MOSBY, Mo. (AP) — The residents of this small riverside town have become accustomed to watching floods swamp their streets, transform their homes into islands and ruin their floors and furniture. Elmer Sullivan has replaced his couch, bed and television. He's torn up water-buckled floorboards. And he put a picket fence against the front of his house to cover up a gap left when waters washed out part of the stone foundation. "I just don't want to mess with it anymore. I'm 83 years old and I'm tired of it, and I just want to get out of it," Sullivan said. Finally fed up, Sullivan and nearly half of the homeowners in Mosby signed up in 2016 for a program in which the government would buy and then demolish their properties rather than paying to rebuild them over and over. They're still waiting for offers, joining thousands of others across the country in a slow-moving line to escape from flood-prone homes. Patience is wearing thin in Mosby, a town of fewer than 200 people with a core of lifelong residents and some younger newcomers drawn by the cheap prices of its modest wood-frame homes. Residents watched nervously this past week as high waters again threatened the town. "It really is frustrating, because here we are, we're coming through a wet season. There's a chance that we could possibly flood, and we're still waiting," said Jason Stooksbury, an alderman who oversees the town's efforts to curb flooding. "It's not a good situation, but what are you going to do — it's the government process." Over the past three decades, federal and local governments have poured more than $5 billion into buying tens of thousands of vulnerable properties across the country, according to an Associated Press analysis of data from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The AP analysis shows those buyouts have been getting more expensive, with
many of the costliest coming in the last decade after strong storms pounded heavily populated coastal states such as Texas, New York and New Jersey. This year's record flooding in the Midwest could add even more buyouts to the queue. The purchases are happening as the climate changes. Along rivers and sea coasts, some homes that were once considered at little risk are now endangered due to water that is climbing higher and surging farther inland than historic patterns predicted. Regardless of the risks, the buyouts are voluntary. Homeowners can renew taxpayersubsidized flood insurance policies indefinitely. With more extreme weather events, flooding "is going to become more and more of an issue, and there will be more and more properties that are at risk of total loss or near total loss," said Democratic U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio of Oregon, chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, which has jurisdiction over FEMA. "Then the question is: Are we just going to keep selling them insurance and building in the same place?" DeFazio wants to expand and revamp a buyout process that he describes as inefficient and irrational. He's backing a proposed pilot project that would give homeowners a break on their flood insurance premiums, as long as they agree in advance to a buyout that would turn their property into green space if their homes are substantially damaged by a flood. Buyout programs rely on federal money distributed through the states, but they generally are carried out by cities and counties that end up owning the properties. Most buyouts are initiated after disasters, but Congress has become more proactive. Appropriations for FEMA's Pre-Disaster Mitigation Grant Program — which funds buyouts and other precautions, such as elevating homes before disasters strike — have risen from $25 million in 2015 to $250 million this year.
A recent study for the National Institute of Building Sciences found that society as a whole saves $7 in avoided costs for every $1 spent through federally funded grants to acquire or demolish flood-prone buildings. Yet it's harder to gauge the benefits for the individuals who move. After Superstorm Sandy pummeled New Jersey and New York in 2012, Duke University graduate school student Devon McGhee researched what happened to hundreds of Staten Island homeowners who took buyouts. She found that all but two of the 323 homeowners she tracked relocated to areas with higher poverty levels. Three-quarters remained on Staten Island, and about one-fifth moved to homes that still were exposed to coastal flooding hazards. "When people take the buyouts, sometimes the money they are given on their home is not enough to buy a comparable home in a lower-risk area," said McGhee, who now works as a coastal management specialist for an engineering and consulting firm. The prolonged buyout process also can take an emotional toll on people who are uprooted. "Maybe they find a home, and it's a good home, but it's not their home where their kids grew up and had birthday parties and that sort of thing. There are these losses that occur in that transition process that can have implications for years," said Sherri Brokopp Binder, an Allentown, Pennsylvania-based consultant who researches disaster buyouts. Multiple layers of government bureaucracy can slow the buyout process. So can the typical hiccups that come with property sales. In Kingfisher, Oklahoma, officials are still working to complete a buyout prompted by Tropical Storm Erin in 2007, even as the city has found itself inundated by flood waters again this week. The city initiated a buyout in 2010, then received additional money to buy more homes about five years later. It's purchased more than 80 so far, with about 10 more to go,
said Annie Vest, a former Oklahoma state hazard mitigation officer who now works for an engineering firm administering Kingfisher's grant. The process is just getting started in some Texas communities swamped by Hurricane Harvey in 2017. Officials in Liberty County, northeast of Houston, held a meeting with residents last month to discuss a $6.7 million HUD grant to buy out homes near the Trinity River. The county still must get appraisals of the homes, conduct asbestos inspections and take bids for a demolition contractor. Local officials hope to start taking buyout applications by the end of the year, said David Douglas, the Liberty County engineering administrator and flood plain manager. Formal discussions of a federally funded buyout likely are a long way off in Hamburg, Iowa, which was inundated in March by a breach of a Missouri River levee. But local officials aren't waiting around. Mayor Cathy Crain said they are looking into the potential for a private developer to relocate some houses and to acquire higher land where new homes and businesses could be built. Relocating to higher ground isn't likely in Mosby, unless residents are willing to go elsewhere. The entire core of the town is in a floodway, which means that new development is limited. Located just northeast of Kansas City, Mosby began as a railroad town in 1887 and expanded with coal mines in the early 20th century. At one time, it had a school, bank, grocery store and lumber yard. Those are gone now, and the trains merely pass by. In 2015, financial strains led the town to eliminate its small police force. Mosby experienced some of its worst flooding that same year, with three floods in less than six weeks. The next year, city officials began pursuing
the buyouts, and more than 40 homeowners signed up. They've been in limbo ever since. Local officials sought nearly $3 million in funding, submitted a revised application, obtained property appraisals and conducted environmental reviews. Some residents have been scouting for new housing. Others are waiting to see the bids, which are expected this summer. Sullivan hopes to get $28,000 for his home. He would move near his sister in
southeastern Missouri, but he's getting impatient. "I'm just about ready to tell them, 'Take it and shove it,'" he said. Sitting on the concrete porch of the white wooden house where she's lived for the past 36 years, Tammy Kilgore explains that "everybody's just really on edge and ready to leave." "The floods, I'm tired of dealing with them, I really am," she said. "I think they should have bought out this town a long time ago."

FINALIZING THE 2020 STATE OPERATING BUDGET On Friday, May 10, the Missouri General Assembly gave its final approval to the state operating budget for the 2020 fiscal year, wrapping up months of discussion by lawmakers and state officials in the annual appropriations process. The legislation, a package of 13 different bills, now heads to the governor’s desk for his consideration. Passing the state budget is the most important responsibility of the Legislature. In fact, it is our only constitutionally-mandated duty. The budget determines how billions of dollars in taxpayer funds are allocated to various departments, offices, programs, projects, services and initiatives throughout the state. Finalizing the budget is one of the most difficult and time-consuming objectives of each legislative session. During the budget process, the House of Representatives and Senate first approve separate budget language highlighting the respective priorities of each body. House and Senate
conferees meet to negotiate any discrepancies, then a compromise budget heads back to each chamber for further discussion and final passage. This process ensures the state budget is crafted as carefully as possible, giving lawmakers ample time to analyze every line item. As approved by the Legislature, the 2020 state budget appropriates nearly $30 billion in public funding. Notably, the budget increases funding for both K-12 and higher education. A total of $6.27 billion goes to K12 education, fully funding the foundation formula; $1.34 billion goes to colleges and universities; $9.62 billion to social services; and $2.93 billion to transportation. As always, please feel free to call, email or write with your ideas or concerns.

State Abortion Bans May Hand Democrats A Political Weapon WASHINGTON (AP) — A flood of laws banning abortions in Republican-run states has handed Democrats a political weapon heading into next year's elections, helping them paint the GOP as extreme and court centrist voters who could decide congressional races in swing states, members of both parties say. The Alabama law outlawing virtually all abortions, even in cases of rape or incest, is the strictest so far. Besides animating Democrats, the law has prompted President Donald Trump, other Republican leaders and lawmakers seeking reelection next year to distance themselves from the measure. Their reaction underscores that Republicans have risked overplaying their hand with severe state laws that they hope will prod the Supreme Court, with its ascendant conservative majority, to strike down Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that legalized abortion. It also illustrates the way that those statutes are forcing the GOP to struggle over how to satisfy its core anti-abortion supporters without alienating the vast majority of voters averse to strictly curbing abortion. The Alabama law is "a loser for Republican candidates in Colorado, without question, and in many other swing parts of the country, because it's extreme," David Flaherty, a Colorado-based Republican consultant who's worked on congressional races around the country. "It's only going to widen the gender gap." Brian Fitzpatrick, a Vanderbilt Law School professor and former aide to Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said there are many "women, moderate women who are going to be scared that this right that they thought they had for the last 40-some years is going to be shelved" and they will be motivated to vote. GOP Sens. Joni Ernst of Iowa and Susan Collins of Maine, both seeking reelection next year, said the Alabama ban goes too far by eliminating exceptions for pregnancies involving rape or incest. A 2005 survey by the Guttmacher Institute, which backs abortion rights, found about 1% of women said they had abortions because of rape or incest. Democrats see the statutes as a way to weave a broader mes-
sage about Republicans. "You use it as an example of what they do when they're unchecked," said Rep. A. Donald McEachin, D-Va., a leader of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, House Democrats' campaign organization. "I think it drives moderate Republicans away from their party." Democratic presidential contenders are competing to lambast the Alabama law, which allows exceptions when the mother's health is endangered. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., called it an "existential threat to the human rights of women," while former Vice President Joe Biden said GOP hopes of striking down Roe v. Wade are "pernicious and we have to stop it." Campaign Facebook and Twitter accounts of Democrats seeking reelection next year, such as Sens. Doug Jones of Alabama and Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, are littered with posts attacking the harsh restrictions. "The people of Alabama deserve to be on the #rightsideofhistory — not the side of extremists," Jones tweeted. Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi and Ohio have enacted or neared approval of measures barring abortion once there's a detectable fetal heartbeat, which can occur in the sixth week of pregnancy, before a woman may know she is pregnant. Missouri lawmakers approved an eight-week ban. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that of the 638,000 abortions it tallied in 2015, almost two-thirds were performed within the first eight weeks of pregnancy. About 1% were performed during or after the 21st week. Spotlighting the perilous political territory Republicans are navigating, an April poll by the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation found that Americans support Roe v. Wade by 2-1. A Gallup poll last year found that 57% of adults who described themselves "pro-life" nonetheless said abortion should be legal if the pregnancy results from rape or incest. The focus on the state measures has also stolen GOP momentum on abortion. Until now, congressional Republicans had spent
much of this year forcing Democrats onto the defensive, goading them into blocking bills aimed at curbing the rare abortions performed late in pregnancies and misleadingly accusing them of supporting infanticide. "Obviously, the attention has shifted," said Sarah Chamberlain, president of the Republican Main Street Partnership, which represents dozens of moderate GOP lawmakers. She said while her group doesn't think Democrats' focus on the harsh laws has gained traction, "We are talking about that and how it's going to play in our districts." Some Republicans say the Democratic drive will have minimal impact because the abortion issue drives relatively few voters from each party. Others say GOP candidates should accuse Democrats of extremism by opposing bills restricting abortions late in pregnancy and, if they wish, cite their support for exempting rape and incest victims. Democrats have "never seen an abortion they don't like," said David O'Steen, executive director of the National Right to Life Committee. Added Sen. Todd Young, R-Ind., who heads the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the Senate GOP campaign arm: "We're not Alabama state representatives, we're United States senators. And each of us has to make our positions known." Yet the laws have generated energy among abortion-rights groups, which held more than 500 demonstrations and other events this past week. "We will power this movement into 2020. There will be political consequences," said Ilyse Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America. Trump and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., distanced themselves early last week from the Alabama statute. They were joined Wednesday by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who told The Associated Press, "My position remains unchanged for 25 years. I'm opposed to abortion except in cases of rape, incest and the life of the mother" being in jeopardy.
Impeach Trump? Most 2020 Democrats Tiptoe Past The Question WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic leaders in Congress have argued that impeaching President Donald Trump is a political mistake as the 2020 election nears. Most of the candidates running to succeed him seem to agree, for now. Fewer than one-third of the 23 Democrats vying for the nomination are issuing calls to start the impeachment process, citing evidence in special counsel Robert Mueller's report they believe shows Trump obstructed justice . Most others, including leading contenders Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, have found a way to hedge or search for middle ground, supporting investigations that could lead to impeachment or saying Trump's conduct warrants impeachment but stopping short of any call for such a proceeding. The candidates' reluctance, even as more congressional Democrats start pushing their leaders in the direction, underscores the risky politics of investigating the president for "high crimes and misdemeanors." Impeachment matters deeply to the party's base but remains unpopular with most Americans. White House hopefuls may win praise from liberal activists by pressing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., for an impeachment inquiry, but those who fall short of insisting are unlikely to take heat from early-state primary voters more focused on other issues. "People talk about it and people have opinions about it, but health care is much more salient to them," Sue Dvorsky, a former head of the Iowa Democratic Party, said in an interview. republican-times.com

"I just don't see Democratic activists here all worked up about impeachment. They trust Pelosi." The 2020 candidates are facing pressure from the left to take a harder line on impeachment as the Trump administration's stiff-arming of subpoenas leaves House Democrats fuming and a growing number of lawmakers urge Pelosi to initiate an inquiry constitutionally required to remove Trump from office. Leah Greenberg, co-founder of the progressive group Indivisible, described the absence of louder calls for impeachment from the candidates as "a real gap in leadership." "What we're seeing is, some Democrats would prefer to keep the topic focused on places where they're most comfortable and some Democrats would prefer to play pundits on this," Greenberg said in an interview. Tom Steyer, a California billionaire, has run television ads and held town halls across the country as part of a campaign calling for Trump's impeachment. He suggested that candidates who haven't yet endorsed impeachment "have a political problem telling the truth about this." Steyer said that if the public saw televised, unfiltered hearings that showed "exactly how bad this president is and exactly who he's surrounded himself with and how corrupt he really is," Democrats and Republicans alike would "reject that kind of behavior." Steyer declined to enter the 2020 presidential race himself. The administration's blockade of congres-

sional investigations and Mueller's report detailing possible obstruction action have yet to push any new Democratic candidates off the fence. Former Vice President Joe Biden, the current front-runner, said last month there is "no alternative" but impeachment if the administration keeps stonewalling congressional investigations. But Biden has notably stopped short of urging Pelosi to move forward. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who's running second in most polls, told CNN this past week "it may be time to at least begin the process" which could result in impeachment. But he warned in the same interview that Trump could try to exact political gains from any impeachment effort. Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, said in an interview Sunday that it makes sense for House Democrats to start taking the first steps toward impeachment but added, "I'm also mindful that people like me don't have a lot of business giving advice to Nancy Pelosi." New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker told The Associated Press on Friday that Trump's refusal to cooperate with Congress amounts to "undermining the Article I branch of the government's ability to conduct its constitutional mandates." But he gave Pelosi wide leeway. He acknowledged that "she's feeling the frustration from Democrats in the House" and said that "should getting cooperation from the administration not work, I know she'll increasingly be considering her options."

said after the release of Mueller's report last month that "Congress should take the steps towards impeachment," is emphasizing her pessimism that Senate Republicans would act on impeachment if the matter came before them. The most vocal pro-impeachment candidates are Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke and former Obama housing chief Julian Castro. Two others, Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton and California Rep. Eric Swalwell, also have supported the start of the impeachment process. Moulton and Swalwell are among four candidates could vote on impeachment, as current House members. Pelosi and other House leaders have signaled clearly that they want to pursue investigations into Trump, including two lawsuits where they scored victories this past week, rather than start a consuming and politically uncertain impeachment process. If the House did vote to impeach Trump, the Constitution requires a two-thirds majority of the Senate to support conviction in order to remove the president from office. Given the slim likelihood of that, it's no surprise to Democrats outside the nation's capital that impeachment isn't gaining steam among the candidates. "The people I talk seem to be more interested in what the next president is going to do to make their lives better rather than what they think about impeachment," New Hampshire state Rep. David Morrill said in an interview.

Accidents Are Investigated No injuries were reported in three mishaps investigated recently by the Trenton Police Department, including one in which two tickets were issued. According to Det. Jerry Smith’s accident report, the mishap occurred when a sport utility vehicle driven by Heather N. Gableman of Trenton, was westbound on 18th Street when the driver failed to yield at a stop sign at the intersection with Cedar Street. Her vehicle collided in the middle of the intersection with a car driven by Amber Lawrence of Spickard, which was southbound on Cedar Street. There was moderate damage to both vehicles, with no injuries reported. Ms. Gableman was ticketed for failing to yield at a stop intersection and failing to maintain financial responsibility for a vehicle. Officer Jasmine Diab investigated an accident Friday, May 24 in which the driver of a truck owned by Trenton Municipal Utilities, Scott J. Shull of Trenton, became lightheaded and passed out while driving. The vehicle struck a stop sign at the intersection of East 17th and Lincoln streets.  Shull may have become ill due to high blood pressure, but was not injured in the mishap. Officer Mike Wilson investigated an accident May 24 at the intersection of 13th and Hemley streets. A van driven by Monica S. Triplet of Trenton backed from a driveway. Mrs. Triplet failed to see a pickup truck owned by Jacob Hickman of Trenton, which was parked on the north side of the street. Her van struck the front left side of Hickman’s truck. No tickets were issued and no injuries were reported.

Dear Annie: Our dear grandson is 5. He's bright, energetic, kind and wonderful. He speaks with a slight lisp. So did his mother when she was his age. Thanks to a caring teacher who pointed it out to us, we took our daughter to a speech therapist. In just a few sessions, the therapist cured her lisp. Now my wife and I want for our daughter to do the same for her son, but she refuses. She says the way he speaks is "cute" and everyone can understand what he says, so there's no need to bother with the speech therapy. The truth is that our daughter and son-in-law are both very busy with their work and their large family. We think she is ignoring the lisp because they don't have time to get him to a therapist. We also think it will be easier to take care of this now and don't want him to be teased about his lisp at school. We've offered to pay for the therapy. What else can we do? -- Granddad Dear Granddad: Ask your daughter how her son will feel if his classmates start teasing him, asking him to say certain words -- the ones where his lisp is pronounced -- so they can get
a good laugh at his expense. Neither he nor they will think his lisp is "cute." Being mocked as a child is almost inevitable for your grandson if this lisp continues, and that kind of humiliation can be damaging. It's best to work through speech problems early. Because his parents are so busy, is there any chance you and your wife could volunteer to take your grandson to a speech therapist? You are generous to offer to pay for the therapy. I'm on your side on this one and hope you will keep after your daughter. Dear Readers: One of the most common themes in letters I receive involve hurt feelings, anger or resentment over being criticized. I've been giving this a lot of thought lately and found a brilliant article that appeared earlier this year in the Harvard Business Review that addresses this issue. The article is by leadership expert and best-selling author Peter Bregman. Bregman presents 13 ways that we react to negative feedback. They include justifying, rationalizing or ignoring negative feedback:
1. Play Victim: "Yes, that's true, but it's not my fault." 2. Take Pride: "Yes, that's true, but it's a good thing." 3. Minimize: "It's really not such a big deal." 4. Deny: "I don't do that!" 5. Avoid: "I don't need this job!" 6. Blame: "The problem is the people around me. I hire badly." 7. Counter: "There are lots of examples of me acting differently." 8. Attack: "I may have done this (awful thing), but you did this (other awful thing)." 9. Negate: "You don't really know anything about X." 10. Deflect: "That's not the real issue." 11. Invalidate: "I've asked others and nobody agrees with the feedback." 12. Joke: "I never knew I was such a jerk." 13. Exaggerate: "This is terrible, I'm really awful." When I read this list, I saw myself many times in his reaction summaries. Bregman offers a perfect reply for handling negative feedback: "I really appreciate your taking the time and the effort to tell me. Thank you." I love it because it is short and sweet and nondefensive. I hope all of you who have written to me about handling criticism will find this helpful. COPYRIGHT 2019
