Speaker Ryan to retire,
leaving big vacuum
in GOP election year
By LISA MASCARO
Associated Press
WASHINGTON
—
House
Speaker
Paul
Ryan abruptly announced
Wednesday he will retire
rather than seek another
term in Congress as the
steady if reluctant wingman
for
President
Donald
Trump, sending new ripples
of uncertainty through a
Washington already on edge
and a Republican
Party bracing for
a rough election
year.
The Wisconsin
Republican cast
the decision to end
his 20-year career
as a personal
one — he doesn’t
want his children Ryan
growing up with
a
“weekend
dad” — but it will create
a vacuum at both ends of
Pennsylvania Avenue. It
will leave congressional
Republicans without a
measured voice to talk
Trump away from what
some see as damaging
impulses, and it will rob
Trump of an influential
steward to shepherd his
more ambitious ideas into
legislation.
It’s unusual for a House
speaker, third in line to
succeed the president, to
turn himself into a lame
duck, especially so for
Ryan, a once-rising GOP
star who is only 48 and was
the party’s vice presidential
candidate in 2012. His deci-
sion fueled fresh doubts
about the party’s ability
to fend off a Democratic
LOTTERY
Tuesday,
April 10, 2018
wave, fed by opposition to
Trump, in November. And
it threw the House into a
leadership battle that could
end up pushing Ryan aside
sooner that he intended and
crush any hopes for signif-
icant legislation before the
election.
Ryan, though, said he
had no regrets after having
accomplished “a heckuva
lot” during his time in a
job he never really wanted.
He said fellow
Republicans
have plenty of
achievements to
run on this fall,
including the tax
cuts
Congress
delivered, which
have been his
own
personal
cause and the
centerpiece
of
his small-govern-
ment agenda.
“I have given this job
everything I have,” Ryan
said.
Speculation over Ryan’s
future had been swirling for
months, but as he dialed
up colleagues and spoke
by phone with Trump
early Wednesday the news
stunned even top allies.
Ryan announced his
plans at a closed-door
meeting of House Repub-
licans. Rep. Mark Walker
of North Carolina said an
emotional Ryan “choked
up a few times trying to
get through” his remarks
to colleagues and received
three standing ovations.
He later briefly thanked
Trump in public for giving
him the chance to move
GOP ideas ahead.

OBITUARY
Margaret Ann Meads
Hermiston
May 31, 1942 - April 8, 2018
Margaret Ann Meads, born
May 31, 1942, of Hermiston,
Oregon, rode a big bay off into
the sunset. She passed away
peacefully at home on April
8th, 2018, after a long battle
with cancer.
Margaret was a
shoot-from-the-hip
gal, a true cowgirl
at heart. She grew
up tough but she
grew up right with a
selfless nature where
she put everyone
else’s needs before
her own. Margaret
was a loving mother
to three wonderful Meads
daughters and a
strong life partner to two
amazing men. She excelled
in everything she put her
mind to doing — from riding
steers, queen of Ukiah rodeo,
older sister, wife, mother,
grandmother and store owner,
to friends of many.
Loren Wood and Margaret
raised their daughters Lucy
(Punkin) and Jody to be
strong women while living on
beautiful ranches, riding good
horses and working in the
western store together. Loren
and Margaret opened Woods
Western World in Hermiston,
then later had Hamely’s in
Pendleton, Oregon, making it
a great “cowboy” store. Then,
in 2003, Loren rode off into
the sunset, leaving Margaret
and the girls behind.
In October 2008, Margaret
married the second love of
her life, Ivan Meads. Ivan
and Margaret had known
each other since school and
had been friends through the
years. When she and Ivan
were married Margaret gained
two sons and their family, of
whom she was very proud of.
Margaret always had
hot coffee and food on the
table or a place for anyone
who stopped by, and there
was always a drink of good
whiskey when the stories were
being told. Margaret was loved
by so many and will
always be someone
that we looked up
to and strive to be
like — a very caring,
thoughtful and kind
person.
Margaret
was
preceded in death by
daughter Jacqueline
Marie,
husband
Loren Wood, and
parents Bud and
Ina Jones. She is
survived by husband Ivan
Meads; sister Katheryn
Mitchell (Ken); brother
Bernard Jones; daughters Lucy
(Punkin) Wood McCarty and
Jody Wood; sons Mike Meads
(Brenda) and Marty Meads
(Rona); grandchildren Lauren
Hutchings, Jack Merrill,
Patrick, Slade and Macy
Meads, and Tanner and Colter
Meads; and great-grandchil-
dren Stephen and Maggie
Hutchings, Bronson Santana,
and Kaylynn, Cactus and
Weston Merrill.
May Margaret rest in
peace, and we will all make
her proud.

ering will be held Saturday,
