Special report Jacob White has won two state wrestling championships. Now the Trenton senior is chasing a third, and he isn’t walking into the season alone. White leads a group of five Bulldogs with state tournament experience as Trenton High School prepares for its Dec. 1 home opener. Coach Charlie Bacon said the senior’s impact goes well beyond his record. “He is just the type of kid that doesn’t come around every day, and he will be our key leader and example to follow for all of our younger kids,” Bacon told the Trenton Telegraph. White’s resume includes three state medals. Last February, he went 44-3 and won the Class 1 title at 120 pounds. That championship came with a dose of redemption. White fell 14-10 to California’s top 120-pounder in the district wrestling final, then beat him 15-5 by major decision for the state crown five days later. “His accolades speak for themselves,” Bacon said.

You inherit a fortune made in ways you despise. Can you keep it?

You inherit a substantial sum from a relative who accumulated it through practices you consider exploitative. Keeping it would improve your family's security; donating it could support people harmed by similar practices.
