Fire Destroys Main Street Buildings Monday Blaze Claims This & That, Cut & Curls, Chamber An investigation is continuing by the State Fire Marshal’s office and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms to determine the cause of a fire on Monday that destroyed two downtown business buildings while causing extensive damage to a third in the 600 Block of Main Street in downtown Trenton. Trenton Fire Chief Brandon Gibler said the state fire marshal's office and ATF were called in to review the Monday afternoon fire that destroyed structures housing This and That Pawn Shop and Antiques, owned by Scott Treadwell, and Cut and Curls Beauty Shop, owned by Jodi Barron, and caused extensive damage to a third building that was the location of the Trenton Area Chamber of Commerce and License Bureau. Gibler said that representatives from the fire marshal’s office and ATF spent most of Tuesday at the scene of the fire in an attempt to learn the cause of the fire as well as where the blaze started. Interviews were conducted with several individuals and a trackhoe was brought in, if needed, to dig through the rubble in hopes of finding clues to help in the investigation. Gibler said it could be some time before either office makes a final report. Gibler said a call came into the fire station around 4:06 p.m. on Monday and when firefighters arrived, they found heavy smoke throughout all three buildings. Firemen initially fought the fire from the inside, however, when there was a partial structure collapse, firefighters were forced to withdraw and attack the fire from the exterior. Trenton set up its ladder truck to provide an elevated master stream and the Chillicothe Fire Department also provided aide with their aerial truck, setting up beside the structures. There was a partial collapse of the exterior of the buildings. No injuries were reported. Roads in the area of the fire, which had been closed on Monday night, were re-opened to traffic around 4 o’clock on Tuesday afternoon. Firefighters were unable to open the hydrant located at Eighth and Main streets, near the corner of the courthouse, however, the fire hydrant across the street next to the Plaza

Firefighters from Trenton, Grundy County and the surrounding area, pictured above, spent Monday afternoon and Monday night fighting a fire that destroyed buildings housing the This and That Pawn Shop and Antiques and the Cuts and Curls Beauty Shop in the 600 block of Main Street. The building that housed the Trenton Area Chamber of Commerce and License Bureau offices was extensively damaged. The State Fire Marshal’s office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms were called to the scene to investigate. At left, flames could be seen shooting up from the back of the three buildings.

Electricity was also turned off for a period of time as a safety precaution. Trenton Chamber Executive Director Debbie Carman said efforts are being made to find a new location for
the chamber and license bureau offices, which remain closed at this time. The chamber’s annual banquet, scheduled for Friday, March 15, will still be held. Treadwell, who owns the building that houses both the pawn shop and beauty shop, said he is still trying to process the fire, which he described
Despite the fire on Monday and a previous cancellation announcement, the Trenton Area Chamber of Commerce has decided to go ahead and hold its annual banquet on Friday, March 15. Chamber Executive Director Debbie Carman said two chamber members have stepped forward to help lead efforts to proceed with the event. The Large and Small Business of the Year, Pillars of the Community and the Organization of the Year will be honored and entertainment will include the second annual Chamber Lip Sync competition, where Trenton R-9 School Superintendent Dan Wiebers will be defending his title as Trenton’s “lip sync champion.” The event is open to both chamber and non-chamber members. The ticket cost is $35 each and reservations are required. They can be made by contacting Micah Landes at the North Central Missouri Development Alliance, 660-973-2996; Kim Washburn at US Bank, 359-3944; Crystal Whitaker at ChiroSolutions, 359-3500; or Ms. Carman at 635-0892. There are also silver sponsorships for $500 (a table of eight, recognition in the program and a banner) or table sponsorships for $320 (a table of eight and recognition in the program). Ms. Carman said persons can pay at the door or the chamber will send an invoice for payment. “I would encourage the community to support not only those individuals and businesses being honored, but to also support the chamber as we work to get up and running again,” Ms. Carman said.

Trenton Girls Return To Title Game The Trenton High School girls basketball team is returning to the district championship game for the fourth consecutive season. Trenton dispatched Brookfield 64-33 in the semifinals of the Class 3, District 14 Tournament on Wednesday night in Higginsville to earn its spot in the title game once again. Brookfield, which defeated Class 3, District 13 top seed Palmyra just last week, gave it a game effort in the opening frame, trailing just 17-12 eight minutes into the contest. But in typical Trenton fashion, the close proximity of the score in the first quarter was just a mirage as the Bulldogs took off from that point. Ainsley Tolson connected on three three-pointers in the second quarter and Salem Croy knocked down two as well as Trenton began to turn the game into a rout. By halftime, the Bulldogs had what would be enough points to win the game, leading 42-16. “We played well tonight,� Trenton Head Coach Brian Upton said. “We shot well, shared the ball well and took care of the ball very well. Brookfield has a nice team and they shot well the first quarter. But we, defensively, adjusted to what they were doing and, overall, played great defense.� Trenton added just 10 more points in the third quarter and 12 in the fourth as the Bull-
dogs cruised into Friday night’s championship game. Tolson finished with a game-high 22 points, adding six rebounds and five assists. Maci Moore had 16 points, five rebounds, two steals and four assists and Mykah Hurley added 10 points, three steals and five assists. “Ainsley was really good tonight,� Upton said. “She shot well, distributed the ball well and defended and rebounded great. Mykah played great as well, hit some big shots and handed out five assists with three steals. Maci was a load around the basket.� Trenton also got six points from Croy and four each from Sidney Lynch and Lexi Whitaker. Lynch added nine rebounds and three assists while Whitaker finished with two steals and three assists. Two points from Chandler Lynch rounded out the final total. As a team, Trenton handed out assists on 21 of its 25 made baskets and turned the ball over just three times in the game. Trenton’s win marked the first win for a Grand River Conference team against a Clarence Cannon Conference school in the last three seasons. The CCC had won 18 straight against the GRC, though Trenton was not responsible for any of those defeats. Trenton had defeated Brookfield in 2016,

but was not a member of the GRC at that time. Trenton will now face Chillicothe in the championship game - the same school the Bulldogs faced in the district championship when their current title game streak began four years earlier. The Hornets took that contest, played as the Class 3, District 15 championship in Lawson, 54-26. Trenton and Chillicothe met
earlier this season with the Bulldogs taking a 60-50 win on the road. That victory was Trenton’s second straight win over Chillicothe. Trenton now sits at 23-0 on the season while Chillicothe is 20-7. The Bulldogs and Hornets will tip off from Higginsville at 5:30 p.m. on Friday with the district title and a state playoff berth on the line.
Trenton Rolls Past Carrollton Trenton picked up its first-round victory on Monday, scoring a 70-27 victory over eighth-seeded Carrollton. After a slow first quarter that saw Trenton take a 13-3 lead, the Bulldogs took off offensively and carried a 40-7 advantage into the locker room at halftime. With a commanding lead, Trenton continued to pour it on in the third quarter, scoring 21 more points before coasting through the final frame with the clock running continuously en route to the 43-point victory. “We got off a little slow, but picked up the pace in the second quarter,� Trenton Head Coach Brian Upton said. “We defended really well, especially our post defense. We played hard and rebounded well, Offensively, we moved the ball well versus their zone defense and got easy buckets and when they collapsed, our outside shooting was pretty good.� Trenton finished the game five-for-11 from three-point land, a marked improvement from the last game of the regular season when Trenton was just six-of-23 from distance in a victory at Milan. Maci Moore led the way for Trenton, going for 19 points, 10 rebounds and three assists. Ainsley Tolson added 14 points, six assists and four steals and Salem Croy finished with 10 points. Trenton also got six points, eight steals and four assists from  Mykah Hurley and six points, eight rebounds and three assists from Sidney Lynch. Lexi Whitaker had six points as well and three assists and three steals and Taylor Richman had four points. Chandler Lynch scored three points and Gracyn Rongey rounded out the Trenton total with two.

Trenton Boys Oust Higginsville, 47-40 Through an up and down 2018-2019 campaign, one thing that has been constant for the Trenton High School boys basketball team has been its defensive prowess. While the Bulldogs’ offense has come and gone throughout the season, Trenton’s defense has almost always been present, whether the end result was positive or negative. On Tuesday night at the Class 3, District 14 Tournament in Higginsville, Trenton’s defense was ever-present in a 47-40 victory over the host Huskers - one that allows Trenton’s season to extend into the district semifinals for just the second time in the past five years. Trenton limited the Huskers to a mere seven points in both the first and second quarters. After things got away from Trenton in the third quarter, the Bulldogs found
a return to their impeding defensive ways when it mattered most. Higginsville would score just eight points over the final eight minutes as Trenton powered past the host school on its own floor, keeping the season alive with the seven-point victory. Trenton’s offense wasn’t great, but did enough to win on this night. Trenton built a 23-14 lead in the opening half of play before being outscored in the third quarter, 18-10, and bringing the game to within a single point going into the final frame. In the final eight minutes, when Trenton limited Higginsville to just the eight points, the Bulldogs posted their highest single quarter tally of the night with 14 points to push ahead with the win. “I was proud of how we rebounded and played defense,� Trenton Head Coach Jeremy Austin said. “Our pace was good

and our effort was great. The boys looked like a team with good ball movement and great chemistry.� Dylan Harris led Trenton with 16 points and five assists while Max McNabb backed up those numbers with 13 points, nine rebounds and two blocks. Carson Burchett added four points and six rebounds, Carson Radcliff had four points and four steals and Isaac Harris and Jaren Whitney also had four points each. Two points from Dalton Burchett rounded out the team total. Trenton faced off with top-seeded St. Paul Lutheranin the semifinals on Thursday.

Sports Briefs... Pirates Land Golf Prospect The NCMC Men’s Golf program has received a commitment from Job van Nieuwkerk, a player from the Netherlands. He will join Coach Craig Sager’s program in the fall of 2019. van Nieuwkerk currently is playing off a 4.4 handicap index. “I’m thrilled to get Job into the states and watch him grow,� Sager said. “He doesn’t have a lot of tournament experience in his young career, which is exciting. We know Job van Nieuwkerk that he’s talented and he’s able to hit the ball a long way, which you have to do at this level. As with most of our European players there’s a sharp learning curve on how to play our style of golf courses. Once he builds a solid game plan, I think he’s going to be a very impressive player. He’s another great example of a multi-sport athlete choosing golf and competing at a very high level.� van Nieuwkerk currently plays out of the Old Course Loenen and Golfclub De Haar, both in the Netherlands. Academically, he will work towards his associate of arts transfer degree and focus on economics and business.

due to the deadline the city would have to meet to submit a project, Trenton was looking at having to provide $2 for every $1 of STP money available. The city’s portion, he said, would have come out of the capital fund, which he noted has been “hit hard” with payment for other unplanned expenditures during the past year. As a result, the committee decided to give the money back to the state. Urton said the city is working with the Trenton Area Chamber of Commerce and License Bureau in an effort to find a new location for the license bureau to get it back up and running as soon as possible. The committee agreed to allow the chamber to look at the building the city owns at the airport as a temporary location for the chamber/license bureau offices. The city had been looking at using the space, which formerly housed Green Hills Animal Nutrition,
as storage for street department equipment. The North Central Missouri Development Alliance had also requested the city allow the structure to be shown to an entity that was interested in renting the building for storage as well. Committee members were told that it is the city’s responsibility to remove snow from the Ninth Street bridge sidewalk per an agreement between the city and MoDOT. The question had been asked at a recent city council meeting. Urton said members also reviewed the city’s snow ordinance and the emergency snow removal route list. In answer to a concern about placement of fiber optic control boxes being installed near sidewalks, Urton reported that the boxes are to be moved up higher by contractors for MidStates, who is having fiber installed in Trenton. At the Utility Committee meeting, members agreed to get more information regarding the cost to replace three substation transformers, which
Urton said are 40-plus years old. The life expectancy of the transformers is usually 25 years. Urton said the committee reviewed prices for refurbished units and discussed developing a plan where transformers could be replaced one at a time, with a refurbished unit replacing a current transformer, that would then be taken out of service and refurbished. That would continue until all three transformers are replaced. The cost for a refurbished transformer has been estimated at $275,000, with additional cost for set-up and installation. The committee also reviewed finances of Trenton Municipal Utilities. Attending the meetings were David Mlika, Lou Fisher and Glen Briggs, administrative committee members; Mlika and Travis Elbert, utility committee members; Larry Crawford, Mayor Dr. Nick McHargue and Urton. Jennifer Hottes, a member of both the administrative and utility committees, was absent.

also mentioned as an option. “I’m just thankful no one was hurt,” he said. Treadwell said that he and his wife, Dusty, met with ATF officials on Tuesday afternoon about the fire. He noted that because he bought and sold guns at that location, ATF was required to be a part of the investigation. “They told us that they didn’t find anything of a criminal nature,” he said. ATF, which is now no longer part of the fire investigation, has not yet released its findings. Treadwell said that his wife had been at the This and That location prior to the fire on
Monday, but had left to do some shopping and drop off the utility bill payment in the drop box at TMU, which was closed due to the President’s Day holiday. As she was coming back toward the Ninth and Main intersection, he said she noticed smoke in the area of the business and immediately headed back to the building. “She parked the car and ran to the beauty shop,” Treadwell said. “When she saw smoke coming out of the front door, she ran across the street (to the Grundy County Law Enforcement Center) to tell them the building was on fire.” Treadwell said he had received a call on Monday, prior to the fire, from the company that provides the business’ alarm system, reporting “an

Five Points by Wendell Lenhart
We Will Recover From The Fire The week in Trenton did not get off to a great start on Monday with the fire in the 600 block of Main Street that destroyed the building housing two businesses and severely damaging the Trenton Area Chamber of Commerce building. Investigation into the cause of the fire continues, but the community will recover from this just as it has during previous downtown fires. The best thing is that no one was injured during the fire. Buildings can be rebuilt but lives cannot. It was really interesting to see the Wendell Lenhart appearance of the Kansas City television stations in our community on Tuesday. I only saw one report, but it always gets me how they report on such events. They act like the whole town caught on fire and that it will be a challenge for the community to survive. I just don’t understand how they blow it up into a bigger deal than it really is. We will repair or rebuild and move on. And why do they really care? Does it really interest people in Kansas City that there’s a fire in a town 90 miles away? I guess they just like to feed off anything negative they can put on the air. We sure don’t see them at all when we have some really positive news like Nestle purchasing the ConAgra plant last summer, which impacted not only Trenton but the whole region. I guess it’s just human nature, but the big city and national media really don’t portray things the way they really are and it bugs me. ##### It’s really been a winter like we haven’t seen in a long time, with at least one, and more likely two, weather events each week. It really impacts business for area merchants and it has wreaked havoc on the school schedule and associated activities. Not to worry. According the the Missouri State High School Activities Association calendar, spring sports practices can begin next Monday. It’s got to be better by then, right?

Drugs, Cops, Politics And Compromise by Phill Brooks, Director, Missouri Digital News Ever since the first narcotic monitoring bill was introduced into Missouri's legislature 14 years ago, I've wondered about the real motivations and forces behind the bill.
Guest Editorials Has the primary purpose been to protect patients from addiction, as some supporters argue or has it been to empower cops and prosecutors to go after drug abusers, doctors and pharmacists. This year's House bill is a perfect example of the two components. The bill establishes a database in state government of controlled-substance prescriptions, essentially potentially addictive narcotic pain killers. Pharmacists and physicians could search the database to make sure that a patient was not going to multiple doctors to get prescriptions for the same drug. Police and prosecutors could access the database only with a court-ordered subpoena. But there's a catch, a huge catch, in the bill. The bill would require Health Department staff to monitor the database for potential abuse and report violations to law enforcement and professional licensing boards. The bill provides that "the department shall review the dispensation information and, if there is reasonable cause to believe a violation of law or breach of pro-
fessional standards may have occurred, the department shall notify the appropriate law enforcement or professional licensing board and provide any dispensation information required for an investigation." That essentially would turn the Health Department into a law enforcement investigation agency. Another nagging question for me about this issue has been why the legislature has failed for so many years to achieve a compromise on such a major issue. For several years, former Sen. Rob Schaaf was portrayed as the barrier that blocked Senate action on a prescription drug monitoring database. I always felt it was a bit of an unfair characterization. While the St. Joseph physician is a firm supporter of the confidentiality of doctorpatient relationships, he was not necessarily opposed to a database of controlled-substance prescriptions. For more than half of his years in the Senate, Schaaf actually sponsored bills to do just that. And some of those counter proposals contained many of the same provisions as the House-passed bills, including mandating the Health Department notify appropriate officials if there was reason to believe a law or professional standard had been broken. Further, over the years Schaaf softened his stance. He dropped a requirement that the measure be approved by state voters and he extended how long a
prescription drug record would be retained in the database from 90 to 180 days. It's still far short of the three-year retention allowed under the current House bill. But as a legislative budget leader told me many years ago, when the difference involves a number, it's always easy to find a middle ground -- just split the difference. Maybe, Schaaf's retirement from the Senate will open the door for finally making Missouri the last state to establish a system to monitor controlled-drug prescriptions. But given the history of legislative gridlock, I'm doubtful. That will be one of the major questions for the 2019 legislative session. The history of legislative failure to pass a drug monitoring plan has made me wonder if smaller steps might be a better approach to dealing with the issue in an era in which there is such a lock-step partisan and ideological divide. A few smaller, less drastic steps have been proposed in this year's legislative session to address the opioid epidemic. One, sponsored by a pharmacist -Sen. David Sater, R-Cassville -- would restrict dentists from prescribing extendedrelease opioids for acute pain, with exceptions. A similar bill has been introduced in the House. Another bill would require the Health Department to adopt rules on opioid prescriptions. There's also a bill to impose additional restrictions on writing a third opioid prescription to a patient.

EXERCISE AS PART OF WEIGHT LOSS By your Hy-Vee registered dietitian, Cindy Eivins, MS, RDN, LD, CDE Combining exercise with a healthy diet is a more effective way to lose weight than depending on calorie restriction alone. It is especially important if you're trying to lose weight or to maintain a healthy weight. People of all types, shapes, sizes, and abilities can benefit from being physically active. Look for opportunities to reduce sedentary time and to increase active time. For example, instead of watching TV, try taking a walk after dinner. Walking is one of the easiest ways for you to be physically active. It is one of the most natural forms of exercise. It's safe, it's simple — and all it takes to get started is a good pair of walking shoes and a commitment to include exercise in your daily routine. Start by doing what you can, and then look for ways to do more. If you haven’t been active, work slowly toward the goal of 150 minutes per week. For example, start out doing light or moderate activities for shorter amounts of time throughout the week. You can gain some health benefits even if you do as little as 60 minutes of moderate physical activity a week. After several weeks or months, build up your activities—do them longer and more often. Physical activity helps work toward a healthy weight (or maintain the weight you have), boosts energy to do the things you love, may aid in better sleep, lowers stress and improves your self-esteem. Regular physical activity helps improve your overall health and fitness, and reduces your risk for many chronic diseases. The more you do, the greater the health benefits and the better you’ll feel. Finally, try asking friends or family members to join you in eating healthier and being more active. Healthy choices become easier when everyone is working toward similar goals.

Long-Term Care When considering the purchase of long-term care insurance, remember that an estimated two-thirds of adults who are currently 65 years old will need some type of long-term care services in the years ahead. Long-term residential options include "residential care facilities," which generally provide a private room, shared meals, help with everyday tasks, and transportation to appointments, but usually not nursing or medical care. "Assisted living facilities" customarily provide apartments for residents and some help with daily care, but not at the level that a nursing home provides. "Continued care retirement communities" (CCRC) provide services that range from independent living to skilled nursing. "Nursing homes" are the only federally regulated long-term care facilities. Your good health can help reduce the cost of long-term care insurance. Insurers offer discounts that you do not lose even when your health changes. At ROBERT BARNES INSURANCE AGENCY, we have over three decades of experience in working with senior products. To learn more, please call 660359-5973. We assure that you are well informed of the options available, which allows you to be comfortable in the decisions you must make about your health care coverage. Our office is located at 915 E. Ninth St.

Severe winter weather challenges beef herd owners, forecasters and young drivers. Changes in icy weather also stress school administrators deciding to cancel school. After 10 years of warm winters, I forgot how to scoop deep snow to clear a way for the postman to deliver mail. Weather forecasts are erratic this winter. I think they’ve been wrong far more than spot on. Just this week, an outlook said a light snow on Friday morning. But, it arrived strong. By afternoon snow piled up over four inches. MU leaders closed classes after 2 p.m. A week earlier, they'd called off classes a day before a severe storm was forecast. Many thought that storm wasn’t severe, although bitter cold. Driving wasn’t difficult. I see public school superin-
tendents wait until early morning to drive the roads before calling off school. On the early-out day, I met a professor coming back from a lunch meeting downtown. I asked: “How is it� His reply: “Snow isn’t bad. Drivers are crazy.� In a university town we have many young drivers. Those who’ve driven fewer than 10 years haven’t learned to drive on snow and ice. To me they seem to think speed signs are minimums. On ice that’s not wise. I delayed leaving work after the afternoon closing. A challenging hill on my way home is by the hospital on Broadway. As I neared, I saw flashing blue lights. Police were slowing already slow traffic as a tangle of cars was cleared from the hill. Some drivers learned quick about driving on packed snow.
Beef herd owners continue to face challenges in this calving season. I asked some about their biggest problem? “Mud,� one replied. Another said, “We can cope with cold, not mud.� They want it to stay cold with no freeze-and-thaw days. All who watch a cow with new calf marvel at the power of mama’s tongue to dry her baby. Licking urges the baby to get up to nurse its first meal of high-fat high-energy colostrum milk. That first meal jumpstarts survival. In the past month, many beef herd owners were shocked by sudden deaths of cows. The problem is nitrates in bad hay baled last fall after two years of drought. Lush growth was high in nitrogen. Plentiful rains brought surges of growth. To boost production some applied extra fertilizer or manure. A blessing of quick growth carried a risk. Nitrogen created nitrates in grass stems. A cow rumen digesting fiber turns nitrates into nitrites. That’s normal. But a surge of poison overflows into the blood. Nitrites block uptake of oxygen in blood. No oxygen. No life. Death comes quickly
NASS Collecting Information For Survey Beginning in the middle of February, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service will contact Missouri farmers and ranchers to gather land rental rate information for the Cash Rents and Leases survey. The results of this survey will serve as a valuable deci-
sion-making tool for farmers, ranchers and other landowners and can be used for 2020 rental agreement negotiations. “This brief survey is our only source of county cash rental rates,� Missouri State Statistician Bob Garino said. “By responding, producers help the farming community and ensure USDA bases its decisions on the most accurate data.�
NASS will publish average cash rental rates at national, state and county levels for nonirrigated cropland, irrigated cropland, and pastureland on September 10, 2019. More than 10,000 of Missouri’s farmers will receive the survey forms. NASS offers the option of responding online via a secure internet connection. In April, NASS representatives will begin calling and

overnight. Unknown hay should be tested before feeding. Interviewing a toxicologist at the MU diagnostic lab, I asked: Where do most cow deaths occur? He wisely replied: “Where there are the most cows.� An MU beef nutritionist has advice. Add starchy grain, such as corn, to the diet to speed rumen digestion. That uses more nitrates which are needed. Before adding starch to a hay diet, best ask an area Extension livestock specialist for help. A rumen takes time to adjust to a ration change. New microbes must grow. How do we get needed lessons to more beef herd owners? Weather related problems face farmers all the time. It’s different in severe cold. I saw a good-news headline: “Cold winter weather boosts beef prices.� That sounded great until I read the story. Severe cold dropped carcass weights. Now buyers need more calves in feedyards to make up for lost pounds. The groundhog flunked. Send your weather insights to duanedailey7@gmail.com.

would change his ways by attending couples counseling. She will not be able to make a clear decision while she is still living in the home and requiring lots of emotional support. When you're giving advice to a person experiencing domestic violence, the goal must be the person's safety. Please reconsider your advice before it is too late. Every state has hotlines and agencies to help stop domestic violence. -- A Very Concerned Social Worker in North Dakota Dear Annie: Your reply to "Conflicted and Anguished" was one of the worst I have ever heard. For you to expect a man to change after 40 years of emotional, verbal and physical abuse, I'd like to sell you a bridge in the desert. I left at 69 years of age, and how I regret not leaving sooner. It was the best thing that ever happened to me. -- Wish I'd Done It Sooner Dear Readers: I want to thank all readers who expressed concern for this woman's safety and well-being, and I particularly want to thank Dr. Lucy Candib for her letter below, which offers a safe and creative solution to this prob-
Dear Readers: The letter from a woman who is thinking about walking out on her 40year marriage struck a chord, and many of you thought my suggestion of marriage counseling was the wrong advice, even though I said that if the counseling proved fruitless, she would know what to do. My first impression was that seeing as the woman was seeing her own therapist, if her life were in danger, her therapist -- who knows much more about the situation than we do -- would help her to leave. However, I received so many letters taking a different position that I wanted to share some of them with you. Dear Annie: The best advice that should be given to a person who has a spouse who isolates and abuses is for the person to reach out to a local domestic violence agency. It was poor advice to have this woman take her husband for couples therapy, as that might be the one thing that could trigger him to escalate his abusive behavior. She needs to talk to a trained counselor or advocate who works with an approved agency for victims of domestic violence. It is very unlikely that he

lem by involving the woman's children and her therapist. Dear Annie: I am very concerned about your recommendation to "Conflicted and Anguished," a woman married for almost 40 years to a man she describes as verbally and physically abusive. You recommended marriage counseling. Please reconsider your answer in light of what we understand about the dynamics of abusive relationships. In the setting of abuse, marriage or couples counseling can put the weaker party at risk for more serious abuse and even death, especially if the abuser knows that the partner is considering leaving. Around the time of leaving is the most dangerous time for a person in an abusive relationship. Most couples therapists and counseling agencies will not do couples work when there is a risk of violent behavior. How could this woman talk freely in a counseling setting, knowing that her husband might go home and take it out on her? Her safety is the primary consideration here. Given that her adult children know about the situation and that she is worried about "the right thing to do" to her family, you might recommend that her therapist coordinate a family meeting involving them to help the woman make the safest choice. -- Lucy M. Candib, M.D.

Allegiant soaring on turnaround
It is among the airlines that passengers love to hate, but Allegiant is soaring on the stock market so far in 2019. Sure, Allegiant had plenty of room to bounce back after a miserable 2018, when it was the worst performer in an industry filled with market losers. Now though, analysts say Allegiant Travel Co. has turned a corner. The shares are up 36 percent in the first six weeks of 2019. The perception of a turnaround started with fourth-quarter results that beat expectations. The company offered a surprisingly strong forecast
of 2019 earnings, too. Stifel analyst Joseph DeNardi says it’s particularly important that the airline is reducing non-fuel costs — he has more confidence in an airline's ability to hit cost targets than revenue ones. The Las Vegas-based airline can’t coast yet. Last year, only Frontier and Spirit had higher complaint rates. There is skepticism over a $420 million condo and hotel resort Allegiant is building in Florida. And Allegiant’s safety record has been questioned in media reports and by its own unions. So far, however, investors are willing to live with those qualms. Allegiant Air
