Democrats Narrowing Candidate List

Year To Feature Bitter Feuds, Deep Divides NEW YORK (AP) — Four years after President Donald Trump drove the rules of politics over a cliff to win the Republican presidential nomination and ultimately the White House, Democrats will go through their own version of the same test. In less than a month, Democratic voters will begin the formal process of sifting through a historically large field of candidates. The options include progressives who have inspired energy — and strong opposition — by rejecting traditional party politics and pushing for fundamental changes to America's political, social and economic systems. Voters could pick the oldest nominee in the party's history — or the youngest. Ironies abound at the outset of the Democratic primary. The oldest candidate at 78, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, has a loyal following among young voters but has yet to prove he can build a broader coalition. Older voters, meanwhile, have shown interest in Pete Buttigieg, the 37year-old former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, whose moderate vision has been greeted with skepticism by many fellow millennials. And a party that prides itself on valuing diversity is contending with a top tier that is all white and mostly male. The battle for the White House will unfold amid a great political realignment that is disrupting decades-long political alliances and further dividing America by education, gender and race. That means the election will likely serve as a referendum not only on the candidates, but also the country and its definition of the American presidency. Some of Trump's most influential allies say he is ready and willing to make 2020 the nastiest presidential contest in living memory. Steve Bannon, a former White House adviser who has long fanned the flames of Trump's scorched-earth politics, indicated that Trump would lean more aggressively into populism and nationalism over the coming year. And he offered a warning to Democrats who have engaged in a largely polite nomination fight so far: The “pillow fight” is almost over. “This will be one for the ages. You’re going to get full Trump at max speed," Bannon told The Associated Press. Trump and his massive political machine are an ever-present force in the Democratic contest. The most important question each candidate must answer is why they are best positioned to

defeat a president many in the party consider an existential threat to democracy. Trump has already hurled personal and policy attacks at his Democratic opponents, even inviting assistance from foreign governments to defeat them. And with his surprise move last week to strike Gen. Qassem Soleimani, Trump showed how he can use the powers of the presidency to scramble American politics in an instant. In a race that was already certain to be brutish, Trump's decision to order the attack prompted some Democratic candidates to suggest he may have done so to divert attention from his impeachment trial. The urgent question of which Democrat will ultimately challenge Trump will take months to resolve. The winnowing process formally begins with Iowa's Feb. 3 caucus and ends at the party's mid-July national convention after every state and U.S. territory holds its own primary contest. The candidates represent the ideological diversity of an evolving Democratic Party that is teetering on the edge of its own civil war, united if only by overwhelming disdain for Trump. Former Vice President Joe Biden and Buttigieg represent the party's moderate wing, favoring a more cautious shift leftward on core issues like health care, education and immigration. On the other side, Elizabeth Warren, a 70year-old progressive Massachusetts senator, and Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist, are fighting for transformational changes including a shift to a single-payer health care system. At the same time, one of the richest men in the world, former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, is trying to use his fortune to rewrite the rules of primary politics. The $50 billion man, who registered as a Democrat little more than a year ago, will ignore the first four states on the primary calendar and focus instead on more than a dozen Super Tuesday states in early March. Political operatives are skeptical, and many progressives are disgusted, yet the strategy promises to complicate and prolong the bitter primary season. Each Democratic faction is convinced that the other will trigger the very thing they fear most: Trump's reelection. “If we nominate a candidate that I would deSee Election, Page 3

Proud Sponsor of the South Harrison Tournament!

It was a battle of stateranked teams on Thursday in Milan as the Mercer Cardinals - ranked eighth in the Class 1 MBCA poll - traveled to face the Wildcats - ranked sixth in the Class 2 MBCA poll. Class size won out on this night as the host Wildcats ran out to a 27-8 first quarter lead and pushed the advantage to 46-16 by halftime. Mercer was able to battle back a bit in the second half, outscoring the Wildcats marginally in the final two frames, but the game was all but over at halftime as the Cardinals suffered their first loss of the season. Leading the way for Mercer was Camden Hartley, who had 13 points. Kaden Graham added 12 points and five rebounds. Ashton Berndt had six points and Isaiah Morganna finished with five points and eight rebounds. With the loss, Mercer slipped to 8-1 overall on the season. The Cardinals will look to bounce back from the defeat tonight (Tuesday) as they play host to Southwest Livingston. at Milan girls 56, Mercer girls 41: The Mercer girls jumped out to a 20-11 first quarter lead in Milan on Thursday behind a 12-point quarter from Tori Meinecke. The Wildcats reeled the Cardinals back in over the course of the second quarter and Mercer’s lead was just 24-22 at the break. Milan grabbed its first lead in the third quarter and then closed the game on a 16-4 run to put the visitors away. Mercer (4-4) was led by 27 points from Meinecke while Aubrey Wilson finished with 10. Mercer’s girls also host Southwest Livingston tonight (Tuesday). at Tri-County girls 43, Tina-Avalon girls 40: The Tri-County girls were a little short-handed on Friday night at home, but Destiny Gutshall and Bailee Hoover went for 12 and 11 points, respectively, to lift the Mustangs to a win over visiting Tina-Avalon. Lexi Wyant followed with eight points. “It was a nice win for us,” Tri-County girls coach Jeremy Slaughter said. “We showed a lot of character battling through some injuries and illness. We had two girls out that normally play a lot of minutes for us. We had some girls step up for us who usually do not get a lot of time.” Tri-County (6-4) is at Gilman City tonight (Tuesday) in HDC Conference action. at Tri-County boys 49, Tina-Avalon boys 46: The Tri-County boys collected back-to-back wins for the first time all season, following up a victory at the NCMC Holiday Hoops with a three-point win over Tina-Avalon on Friday at home in Jamesport. Derrick Curtis led the Mustangs (3-7)with 16 points while Jared Johnson and Garrett Skinner each scored 12. Tri-County is at Gilman City tonight (Tuesday).

Election â€˘ From Front Page â€˘

scribe as far left, extreme left, I think that unfortunately, a lot of union members will just not get there,â€? said Biden supporter Harold Schaitberger, the general president of the International Association of Firefighters, who specifically warned Democrats against nominating Sanders or Warren. The case for a moderate Democrat lies with the belief that white, working-class men in a handful of states will largely decide Trump's fate in November. Non-college-educated white men shifted sharply away from the Democratic Party in 2016, fueling razor-thin victories for Trump in three states that previously made up the Democrats' â€œblue wallâ€?: Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. If Trump can hold same states again in 2020, he will return to the White House for another four years. Schaitberger fears that some Democrats don't appreciate the dire nature of the situation that continues in the Midwest, where many of his union members remain concerned by the leftward shift of the Democratic Party. â€œIt doesnâ€™t matter if we get 10 million more votes in California or 4 million more votes in New York or Massachusetts, you gotta be able to come up in the battlegrounds with an electoral victory,â€? Schaitberger said, pointing to Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Florida as the states that matter most. Alexandra Rojas, executive director of the liberal group Justice Democrats, feels just as strongly that her party must nominate a â€œbold progressiveâ€? like Sanders or Warren to take back the presidency. She and thousands of like-minded activists are fighting Biden and Buttigieg's candidacies, outraged by their reliance on wealthy donors and their refusal to embrace transformative domestic policies like Medicare for All, which would replace the U.S. private insurance system with free government-backed health coverage for all Americans.

â€œWe're fighting like we have nothing to lose,â€? Rojas declared. She predicted that Democrats would ultimately come together after an explosive primary fight. Given several factors working in the Republican president's favor, the Democrats' feuding factions have no choice but to unite if they hope to take back the White House. Rarely in modern political history has an incumbent president failed to win reelection in the midst of economic growth. And while there is debate about the strength of the U.S. economy, there is no debating the numbers: unemployment rates and the stock market are better today than when Trump took office. Meanwhile, Trump amassed the largest political fortune in U.S. history heading into an election year, which he's already using to construct a massive political machine. Backed by more than $100 million in his campaign account to begin the year, his team insists it can expand the traditional political battleground this fall to compete in Democratic-leaning states like Minnesota, New Mexico and even Oregon. While he is optimistic, evangelical leader and Trump confidant Jerry Falwell Jr., the president of Liberty University, said it's too early to predict a Trump electoral landslide. But he's calling on all Republicans to embrace the Trump playbook.

â€œHeâ€™s teaching Republicans a lesson that I hope they learn â€” that nobodyâ€™s going to support them if they continue to be so diplomatic and so, whatâ€™s the word Iâ€™m looking for? I mean they act like royalty, like itâ€™s beneath them to get down in the mud and fight,â€? Falwell said in an interview. â€œThe people have been looking for somebody who will get down in the mud and fight and wade in up to their waist. Trumpâ€™s the first one whoâ€™s the done that.â€? Indeed, Trump has eagerly attacked anyone and everyone who has criticized his personal style or governing decisions, even members of his own administration at times. He has already used ethnic slurs to go after Warren, raised questions about Sanders' age, falsely called his rivals socialists, and openly encouraged foreign governments â€” namely Ukraine and China â€” to dig up dirt on Biden. As his political base cheers, such tactics threaten to inflict lasting damage on Trump's standing with some voters â€” especially women. Democrats scored sweeping victories in the 2018 and 2019 as college-educated women, particularly in America's suburbs, turned their backs on Trump's GOP. At the same time, there is evidence that younger voters and minorities are both energized and repelled by Trump entering the new year. Bannon insisted the GOP

has become the â€œworking-class partyâ€? under Trump, although he has some concern about Trump's standing with working-class women. His more serious concern, however, lies with the narrow, but vocal slice of establishment-minded Republicans who are fighting his reelection. He referenced the recent birth of an anti-Trump group dubbed the Lincoln Project, led by veteran Republican strategists who are planning a nationwide campaign to convince disaffected Republicans and independent voters to vote Democrat. The group's leadership features conservative attorney George Conway, who is the husband of Trump's chief White House counselor Kellyanne Conway. â€œWe need the Republican establishment on board,â€? Bannon said, noting that Trump essentially won the presidency because of less than 80,000 combined votes across Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin â€” â€œan inside straight," he called it. "If these guys can peel off 3% or 4%, that's going to be serious,â€? he said of Trump's Republican rivals. Yet for all the talk of shifting voting blocs, intra-party fights and what will almost certainly be the most expensive campaign in the history of the world, Bannon believes that Trump's fate will ultimately be decided by one man. â€œOnly Trump can beat Trump,â€? he said.

Grand River Valley Choir and Orchestra Making Music Together MEMBER SPOTLIGHTS Laurel Pauley and her husband, Gary of Trenton joined their three children - Sarah, Vanessa and Andrew - in the Grand River Valley Choir and Orchestra in 2018. Growing up, Laurel was involved in singing with her family, both at home and in church. She was one of four â€œWoods Sisters,â€? who sang specials on Sundays. She has led the congregational singing and continues to teach songs to the children in her Sunday school class. While in high school, she was a member of the choir and also took piano lessons as an adult. Besides music, she loves being outside, working in the yard or garden, as well as swimming, walking her two Labrador dogs and riding bicycles. ********** Nathan Vandevender of Trenton is an IT professional at North Central Missouri College. He has a 13-year-old son, who lives in Eddy, TX, and is engaged to Kristin McClure, who has two sons, Jayden McClure, age 18, and Caysonâ€ˆHarper, age 15. He is a percussionist in the orchestra, an interest he developed as a youngster while watching the drummer of the Saturday Night Live band on television. He began his band career in earnest in fifth grade with the help of orchestra leader Buddy Hannaford. Nathan took lessons fromâ€ˆBrian Busby, played tympani for Stephan Melillo, received the John Phillip Sousa Award in high school and traveled with the Lions Club All-State Band to Philadelphia, PA. He relocated to Trenton a few years ago, crossing paths again with Hannaford and his wife, Karla, who asked him to join the GRVCO. His ultimate dream is to play with the Kansas City Philharmonic one day, performing Beethovenâ€™s Ninth Symphony at the annual PROMS. Besides being a musical geek, Nathan enjoys doing electronic projects at home, reading and being a father to his son and a leader to the children and youth at Coon Creek Baptist Church. ********** Sarah Maloney of Trenton sings alto in the Grand River Valley Choir and Orchestra and serves as a member of the organizationâ€™s board of directors. A lifelong singer, her first solo performance was as a kindergartener at the Garfield School, performing â€œIâ€™m a Lonely Little Petunia in an Onion Patch.â€? Since then, she has sung in school, church and community choirs. While living in Paola, KS, she was a member of a womenâ€™s barbershop ensemble, â€œThe Eighth Notes.â€? She was in the audience for the first performance of the Grand River Valley Choir and Orchestra 10 years ago when she realized she wanted to sing with this group, adding â€œitâ€™s fun and inspiring to sing with such talented vocal and instrumental musicians.â€?

LOUIS (AP) â€” Missouriâ€™s two biggest cities saw a jump in homicides in 2019, and if that wasnâ€™t bad enough, an alarming number of killers got away with it. St. Louis and Kansas City have among the highest homicide rates in the U.S. St. Louis had 194 killings last year, which was eight more than in 2018. Kansas Cityâ€™s homicide total rose by 10, to 148. Early signs for 2020 were troubling, especially in St. Louis, which saw seven killings in the first two days of the new year. In both places, most of the killers haven't been caught. Kansas City police have solved 43% of last year's killings. St. Louis police have solved just 31% of theirs. Police leaders say witnesses are simply too scared to cooperate. â€œThe biggest challenge we have is witness participation,â€? St. Louis police Chief John Hayden said. â€œThey are worried about retaliation. Thatâ€™s a legitimate concern, but at the same time it allows an environment to per-

petuate so the suspects get away, many times, with their crimes.â€? Sgt. Jake Becchina, a Kansas City police spokesman, said 70% of people who survive being shot refuse to name their assailant. â€œWe canâ€™t submit a case for prosecution if our victim does not cooperate,â€? Becchina said. The escalation in killings in Missouri is particularly puzzling since homicides have declined in many U.S. cities. Police in both Missouri cities believe the state's lax gun laws are a contributing factor, including a 2017 law that allowed firearms to be carried without a permit. Hayden said the presence of a gun means that disagreements are more likely to escalate beyond a shouting match or fist fight. â€œIf a gun is introduced into that chaos, thereâ€™s somebody thatâ€™s shot thatâ€™s not getting up,â€? Hayden said. Gov. Mike Parson has met multiple times with leaders of both cities and ordered state troopers to help patrol

in St. Louis. But Parson, a Republican and a staunch gun rights supporter, has declined to endorse any effort to change state gun laws. Drugs are a common denominator in many killings. Hayden said about half of all St. Louis killings involve drugs. Becchina said most of the drug-related shootings in Kansas City are marijuana deals gone bad â€” typically either the seller or the buyer trying to rob the other. Another factor cited by Richard Rosenfeld, professor emeritus of criminal justice at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, is the increasing prevalence of guns that can fire multiple rounds quickly, such as semi-automatic guns. â€œSo you can spray an area, leading to more bystander killings,â€? Rosenfeld said. Last year, many of those bystanders were children, including 11 victims ages 16 or younger in St. Louis. They included 3-year-old Kennedi Powell, who was hit by stray

Report Shows Poorer Areas Of St. Louis Affected By Pollution ST. LOUIS (AP) â€” St. Louis residents living in poor, segregated neighborhoods are at a greater risk of cancer from air contaminants, and proximity to congested traffic make up a significant share of that vulnerability, according to a study from Washington University. Christine Ekenga, an assistant professor of public health at the university and the study's lead author, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch the pollutants that conferred the greatest dangers were traffic-related.

â€œThe closer a neighborhood was to a major interstate highway, the more elevated their risk was,â€? she added. â€œAfrican American neighborhoods were more likely to be in these hotspot areas.â€? The findings support the university's other recent research that details how St. Louis is plagued by inequalities. The cityâ€™s stark racial divide makes it one of the most segregated in the U.S. and contributes to differing outcomes across a wide range of environmental health concerns, from asthma rates to lead exposure and inadequate access to healthy food. Elevated cancer risk from air contaminants could be included on that list, according to the new study. Published in late October in the journal Environmental Research, the findings are based on modeled estimates of concentrations for 180 chemicals that the Environmental Protection Agency said are known to cause cancer, or suspected to cause cancer. The model factors in such things as industrial

emissions and traffic, and also measures lifetime cancer risk if someone were to live in the same neighborhood â€” or specifically, census tract â€” for 70 years. The regional study suggests that 14% of St. Louis-area census tracts have heightened cancer risk linked to air pollutants. Dangers are especially great in areas with high levels of both racial and economic isolation â€” where people are less likely to interact with someone of a different race or economic status. Ekenga said the findings also underscore that broader changes must occur, and those in positions of power must do more to account for the interests of underprivileged communities. â€œThese are communities that are economically disenfranchised and environmentally disenfranchised, and what this means is theyâ€™re not involved in conversations about land use,â€? Ekenga said. â€œWe need to seek their input, and when they provide their input, we need to listen to them.â€?

gunfire while her father handed out slices of pizza outside a home; 10year-old Eddie Hill IV, who was shot by an assault rifle fired from a passing car; and 7-year-old Xavier Usanga, who was killed in his own backyard. Kansas City breaks down its killings differently, and statistics show that 16 victims were under the age of 20. A program called the Kansas City No Violence Alliance earned accolades in 2014 when the number of killings dropped to 86, far less than previous years. The program identified people at high risk of violence and used intervention to try and persuade them to change their ways. But the number of killings gradually rose and the No Violence Alliance was ended last year. Both cities are focusing resources on high-crime areas. In St. Louis, a dangerous north side area has been dubbed â€œHaydenâ€™s Rectangleâ€? because Hayden is targeting it with

tougher enforcement. In Kansas City, the focus is an area that makes up about 10% of the land mass but accounts for 85% of the violence. Both cities also are trying new approaches. St. Louis is spending $5 million on a program called Cure Violence. The Chicago-based program has had success elsewhere by training people from high-crime areas to intervene in conflicts before they escalate and changing social norms. Hayden also plans an outreach to encourage middle school and high school students to â€œavoid risky people and risky behavior.â€? Kansas City is using a federal program called Project Safe Neighborhood that combines efforts of law enforcement, community groups and others to get dangerous criminals off the streets. Police also did away with a mounted patrol unit to free up eight additional officers for homicide cases. â€œWeâ€™re open to ideas and we wonâ€™t stop trying,â€? Becchina said.

Governorâ€™s Stance On Gambling Differs From Patrol ST. LOUIS (AP) â€” Missouri Gov. Mike Parson says he's not convinced that unregulated and untaxed video gambling terminals in the state are illegal, even as investigators in his administration work to halt their spread. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Parson, who is the former Polk County sheriff, said he is monitoring a Platte County court case that could provide legal guidance to the state's prosecutors on what constitutes a game of chance versus a game of skill. The video gambling terminals, which work in a fashion similar to slot machines, have been rolled out in truck stops, gas stations and convenience stores across the state. Opponents argue that slot machines are only allowed in casinos. But backers say the machines give players the option of viewing the outcome of a wager before placing a bet. â€œWe first need to clarify what machines constitute gambling and what machines are video games,â€? Parson told the Post-Dispatch in response to written questions. The governorâ€™s stance is in contrast to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, whose leaders have made a decision. A patrol lieutenant told a state House committee in October that the machines are illegal and that its investigations resulted in dozens of criminal referrals to prosecutors. Besides the Platte County case, several others have been filed, including one in Parsonâ€™s home county. Polk County Prosecutor Ken Ashlock said there are no payout requirements

for unregulated machines, meaning the operators can keep more money than they could in one of the stateâ€™s 13 regulated casinos. â€œPeople are just getting cheated on them and they donâ€™t know it,â€? he said. Wildwood-based Torch Electronics is among the most active companies in the video gambling business in Missouri. The firm, owned by Steve Miltenberger, has contributed $20,000 to Parsonâ€™s election effort. One of the companyâ€™s lobbyists is Steve Tilley, a former speaker of the Missouri House and a friend of Parson. The two served together in the Missouri House. When Tilley resigned as speaker in 2012 to become a political consultant, Parson was among his initial clients. Gregg Keller, a spokesman for Torch and a Missouri GOP operative, did not respond to the Post-Dispatch's request for comment. In responding to questions from the PostDispatch, Parson said gambling should be regulated, but heâ€™s also waiting for clarity from the Platte County case, which could take two years to wind through the court system. â€œThe distinction between chance and skill determining the outcome of a game is fundamental to the legal analysis of whether operation of a machine violates state law. Games of chance are subject to gaming laws, and if the people want to change the gaming laws, they have the ability to do so using the legislative process, through a ballot initiative, or constitutional amendment,â€? the governor said.

sponse to "Preferring Tradition." I never liked when couples asked wedding guests to give cash instead of gifts, either. But my daughter and her husband ended up doing this. Many friends and relatives opted to give them gifts instead of cash. Well, my daughter and her now husband live in San Francisco, California, and the wedding was at home in the Midwest. They came by plane. The gifts had to go by mail, so it fell on Mom and Dad to box and mail all the gifts. We started to ship some, but the cost became so high that we instead decided to load up an SUV, take time off work and make a trip West. It was a real pain, boxing up glass. Now I think cash would have been nicer. -- John K. Dear John K.: It was awfully generous of you and your wife to spend so much time and money on getting your daughter and son-in-law their presents.

New Year’s blues in Europe Manufacturers in Europe face the not-so-humorous question: Is it a light at the end of the tunnel, or an oncoming train? A preliminary U.S.-China deal on trade and Boris Johnson’s big win in the British elections ease some uncertainty. But the latest surveys showed a miserable end to the year. Manufacturing activity fell in December in seven of eight countries covered in the survey, the exception being Austria, which was unchanged. Weakest was Germany, with the Netherlands and

Italy hitting 80-month lows. Confidence in the future improved to a six-month high. Consumers were the only bright spot in manufacturing demand. For now, consumers and services are supporting growth in Europe, but for how long? As IHS Markit chief business economist Chris Williamson put it, “the ability of the wider economy to avoid sliding into a downturn in the face of such a steep manufacturing contraction remains a key challenge as we head into 2020.”

Dear Annie: You indicated that it was too late to send cards to our sailors and troops for Christmas. How's about a little advance planning! Valentine's Day is only about four weeks away. How can readers send cards to troops in celebration of that holiday? -- Steve, USAF (retired) Dear Steve: This is a great idea. You can send valentines to deployed troops via Hugs for Soldiers. Please adhere to the following guidelines: - Do not send cards larger than 8 1/2x11 inches. - Do not use glitter or materials that easily break off. - Keep your messages positive. - Do not put individual valentines in sealed envelopes. Bundle cards and send in a single large envelope or box. Mail them to Hugs for Soldiers, P.O. Box 2887, Duluth, GA, 30096.

Sharing," the person who wrote about the noise levels in airports and on buses and trains thanks to people who play music and videos on speakers instead of through headphones. I travel in England to visit family and there I have the option to reserve a seat in the "quiet car" -- which I love. No conversational cellphone use is allowed -- only texts -- and no noisy video games are allowed, either. I wish we could have the same service here. It would be a relief for people who suffer from noise pollution. There are quiet areas in some airports, if you look for them. Many thanks for sharing. -- Janet A. in Montreal Dear Janet: Silence is golden -- maybe even platinum, at this point. Quiet cars do exist on Amtrak trains here in the U.S., but only in the Northeast. Here's hoping they make their way through the rest of the country.

“A Word From...” by the Trenton Area Ministerial Alliance

Terri Cobb St. Philip’s Episcopal Church WHAT IS THE SEASON OF EPIPHANY? The word epiphany might be defined as a metaphorical light bulb that flashes in your head when the answer to a problem is realized. It’s the “Oh, now I understand” response. On Dec. 25, people throughout the world celebrated the birth of a child, born in a lowly manger over 2,000 years ago. Who was this child? Many churches, such as the Episcopal Church, has a season of Epiphany in which the answer to this question is explored. This season is meant to provide context to the miracle of Christmas. The Epiphany season follows the Christmas and New Year’s holidays and lasts from four to nine weeks, ending on Ash Wednesday. During this time, the selected Gospel readings refer to the recognition and acknowledgment that Jesus is the Christ. Jan. 6 is the day of Epiphany, the beginning of the season and the commemoration of the Magi visiting and recognizing baby Jesus as the Christ. The first Sunday after the day of Epiphany is “The Baptism of Our Lord Jesus Christ” in which the church commemorates Jesus’ baptism by John the Baptist in the River Jordan.

It was then that the heavens parted, a dove flew down, and God’s voice announced that Jesus was His Son whom he was well-pleased. Other holy days observed in Epiphany include Jan. 18, “The Confession of Saint Peter the Apostle” which is Peter’s acknowledgment that Jesus is the Christ. Jan. 25 commemorates “The Conversion of Saint Paul the Apostle” which is when the risen Christ appears to Paul, the Christian persecutor, and Paul subsequently converts to Christianity. Feb. 2 is observed as “The Presentation of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Temple.” In accordance to Jewish law, forty days after His birth, Jesus was presented to the Temple by his parents. The temple rabbi, Simeon, meets Jesus and recognizes Him as the Christ. The last Sunday of the Epiphany season commemorates Jesus’ transfiguration. At the Transfiguration, God announces that Jesus is His son whom he is well-pleased and that we should listen to Him. When Epiphany is over, the light bulb has flashed in our heads. Who was that baby in the manger? As we learn from the stories of Jesus’ baptism, Peter’s confession, Paul’s conversion, Jesus’ presentation in the temple, and Jesus’ Transfiguration on the mountain, this baby was God’s Son. We are to listen to him.

Foster Care Is Rotary Topic Foster care was the topic of a program presented to the Trenton Rotary Club on Thursday, Jan. 2. Tom Witten was the program chairman. Brittany Lutz, a family development specialist with Cornerstones of Care, was the guest speaker. Cornerstone has contracted with the state of Missouri to work with the Department of Family Services on foster care issues. Ms. Lutz noted that more than 3,000 children in northwest Missouri are in need of foster care services but that there is a shortage of foster parents to provide a place for those who have been removed from their regular homes due to abuse or neglect. Cornerstone helps find a place

for these children to go. There are just three homes available for long-term foster care in Grundy County, however, both long-term and short-term (respite) homes are needed. She outlined the qualifications for an individual or family to become a foster care provider, which does include state-mandated training provided by Cornerstone. She also briefly discussed volunteer opportunities available for those who want to help in ways besides becoming a foster care provider. Representatives from Wright Memorial Hospital will present the Jan. 9 program on medical billing.
