FAIRFIELD — The Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District on Monday released a plea for information on the whereabouts of the grandchildren of the school board president, the Rev. David C. Isom. The two siblings, on March 17, were reportedly taken by their biological mother, Christina Elena Trent, 35, from Franklin Elementary School in Liberty, Missouri. The Liberty Police Department confirmed the boy and girl are considered missing, but it is not investigating this matter as a kidnapping. “She is in regular contact with the father by phone,” Capt. Matt Kellogg, spokesman for the Liberty Police Department, said in a phone interview on Monday. He said the department is fairly sure she is in the Kansas City area, and possibly in a shelter. Liberty is about 16 miles north of Kansas City. It has been eight weeks since Isom last heard from his grandchildren, the district statement said.
LOS ANGELES — Monday’s historic Colorado River agreement represents a big win for California, which only months ago was embroiled in a bitter feud with Arizona, Nevada and four other Western states over how to dramatically reduce their use of water supplies in the shrinking river. The proposition, which came after months of tense negotiations, would see the three states in the Colorado’s lower basin conserve about 3 million acre-feet of water from the river by 2026 – a 14% reduction across the Southwest that amounts to only about half of what could have been imposed by the federal government had the states not come to an accord. “It’s a win for California, but it’s a win for the entire basin that, once again, after a year of

acrimony, we are at least now on the same page going forward,” said Bill Hasencamp, manager of Colorado River resources for the Metropolitan Water District. Though some details have yet to be disclosed, the plan would see the majority of the cuts, about 1.6 million acre-feet, come from California. The remainder would be split between Arizona and Nevada, with the former taking the lion’s share of those losses. California’s reductions are similar to those the state’s water managers have offered for several months, Hasencamp said. The plan also is in line with California’s proposal to focus on voluntary reductions rather than opening a door for the federal government to dictate cuts proportionally across the region. “I’m pleasantly surprised,” said James
