WEATHER...page 25 Pleasant weather continues through most of the weekend.

By Brenda Meadows, Staff Writer Country music artist Neal McCoy is back in Branson for just a few performances at the Clay Cooper Theater, 3216 W 76 Country Blvd, in Branson.

Tickets are on sale for October 16, November 2, and November 6 at 7:30 p.m.

McCoy hosted his own show in Branson a few years back, but his career demanded he travel to other parts of the country. In 2005 his song, “Billy’s Got His Beer Goggles On” put him in great demand. That song was the seventh of 10 top 10 hits he recorded. He has released 10 studio albums on various labels, and has released

34 singles to country radio. These are the songs that brought fans to Branson to see him.

“I’m really not sure how many times I’ve been to Branson,” McCoy said. “I would assume around 50 times give or take a few, maybe even closer to 100 times. I love the audiences in Branson beSEE McCOY, PAGE 10

By Gary J. Groman, Independent Writer Jamie, First Class Maid at the Titanic Museum, is excited about its latest artifact. She said that Elvis wore it, treasured it, and now we have it to share with our guests through the end of October.

The artifact causing the excitement is the King of Rock’ n’ Roll’s prized gold watch. The “Universal Geneve” 14-carat gold watch was given to Elvis by Sam Phillips, the owner of Sun Records.

He was instrumental in launching Elvis’ career and gave him his first recording contract.

The engraving on the back says, “Elvis Love Sam.” It’s in a display with a picture of Phillips and Elvis together. Jamie said, “As you can tell by the picture, they had a very close relationship and were friends.”

Elvis made several recordings for Sam and the Sun Label between the Summer of 1954 and mid-1955.

In November of 1955, his manager “Colonel Tom Parker” negotiates with RCA Records to buy Elvis’ Sun contract for $40,000 plus $5,000 for Elvis. The agreement included the five Sun singles Elvis had recorded and other unreleased material.

When asked what the tie in between “Elvis” and the “Titanic” is, Jamie said, “It’s iconic! While puzzling at first, both of those words are icons known around the world.

“I started working here in April of 1990, and have been here in some capacity ever since,” noted McCaulley. “I have had a lot of positions and responsibilities, but I have been the Sports Director since day one. That’s the one title that’s gone with me.”

Although he is widely recognized for calling Branson High School Football games, McCaulley can also be seen, hard at work, at basketball and baseball games throughout the Ozarks.

“For football, we dedicate a crew to each of the football schools, and I handle Branson,” McCaulley explained. “But, for other sports, we broadcast select games. I do a good majority of those, with help from people like Perry Phillips.”

McCaulley, a native of Springfield, graduated from Missouri State University in 1986. He spent the next four years workSEE McCAULLEY, PAGE 13

St. Mark’s Episcopal to observe Blessing of the Animals this Sunday Submitted to Branson Globe Pets of all faiths are invited to bring their humans to St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, 3 Northwoods Dr. at James River Rd. in Kimberling City at 2 pm Sunday, October 4, to celebrate the Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals and ecology.

For over a decade St. Mark’s has joined churches around the world in welcoming animals to a special ceremony called the “Blessing of the Animals”, expressing the love humans have for the pets who have becomesuch an important part of the family.

According to a news release, the Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals and ecology, is celebrated annually at churches around the world on October 4.

Francis, born in 1182, was theson of a wealthy cloth merchant.

He heard God’s call to live a life of poverty while serving the poor and all of creation and he believed that humans were just one part of that

creation. It was said that Francis was so connected with nature that he could communicate with animals.

St. Mark’s Episcopal Church views the Blessing of the Animals service “as a celebration of God’s great and diverse world created with love.

“Sometimes it is difficult to understand how God could love people unconditionally. It becomes a little easier to understand when one has experienced the unconditional love of a pet.”

The service is open to everyone in the community and their pets.Due to Covid 19, this year’s service will be held in the parking lot of the church.

Pets and their owners remain in their cars. Masked attendants will pass out bulletins to follow along with the service. After the service, each car will drive to the front of the church where pets and their owners will be blessed and receive a special treat before driving home. For more information call the church at 417-338-5488.

• WATCH

Continued from page 1

No matter what language you speak when you say ‘Elvis’ or ‘Titanic,’ people know what you are talking about.”

President, COO, and Co-Owner of the Titanic Museum Attraction, Mary Kellogg, said, “They were both legends in their own time, and the world shared a great loss when they were gone. The ‘Titanic’ and ‘Elvis’ may be separated by time, but their iconic stature unites them musically and prophetically - When The Music Stopped, The Legends Began.”

Elvis’ ring is on display in the Music Gallery. This gallery honors Titanic bandleader Wallace Hartley and his eight band members. They courageously played on until the doomed ship sank into the depths of the North Atlantic Ocean early on the morning of April 15, 1912. First Class Maid Janie points out that although not born yet, Elvis recorded that song decades later.

William Bednarczyk, an avid Elvis fan, collector, recently purchased the watch from M.S. Rau Antiques, New Orleans. He said,

“To be asked to loan the watch for display in the museum is a tribute to Elvis, his family, and his friends.”

First Class Maid Jaynie says that in addition to the Elvis’ watch, the Titanic Museum Attraction is “considered the “World’s Largest Museum Attraction™.” It’s a tribute to the iconic ship and its passengers from the night of its final voyage in 1912 that is a permanent interactive family experience.

“Guests can take a self-guided tour, which features fully recreated cabins, parlors, and the infamous $1-million grand staircase, as well as interactive displays and children’s exhibits.”

Out of concern for their visitors and crew members’ health, advance reservations are required, and the number of guests aboard the “ship” at any one time is limited. Also, everyone visiting the attraction must wear a face-covering during their visit and practice social distancing.

The Titanic Museum Attraction in Branson opens daily at 9 a.m. For further information or tickets, please contact the museum online at www.titanicattraction.com, or by phone at 800-381-7670.

By Gary J. Groman, aka The Ole Seagull Winston Churchill said, “The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.”

At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic there were those attacking its very existence and the seriousness of the situation by saying it was no worse than the “annual flu.” In support, they distorted by comparing “annual flu numbers” against the two-month numbers for COVID-19. That stopped when numbers of COVID-19 cases rose within six months and exceeded the highest annual flu numbers. At least, in this case, the truth was incontrovertible.

When it comes to requiring face

coverings, masks, to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, during this stage of the COVID-19 pandemic, a distortion that is brought up time and time again. That’s saying that even Dr. Fauci or some other national health leaders in the

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Where’s the mask ordinance enforcement?

I was so pleased that Branson finally passed a mask ordinance even though it was at least 3 months late. The ordinance should have been passed in March when the crisis began when every knew masks should be required to stop the spread of the virus.

And then I talked to a Branson police officer who told me that, in restaurants, those who handle our food, prepare our food, breathe over our food, and talk over our food are exempt from wearing face masks. I’ve read the

ordinance and can’t find any such exception. Everyone I’ve told this to has found this impossible to believe. All agree that these are the exact ways the COVID-19 virus can be spread.

Additionally the same officer also said those who refuse to comply with the mask ordinance can’t be shut down. They can only issue fines to the perpetrator. This just flies in the face of common sense.

What is the ordinance for if not to force compliance?

I have been deeply disappointed in the enforcement of the requirement to wear face masks. Even

battle against COVID-19 say that masks aren’t helpful in stopping its spread. This distortion was espoused most recently, in the nationally televised debate between the Presidential Candidates. President Trump said, “Dr. Anthony Fauci said very strongly, ‘masks are not good.’ Then he changed his mind, He said, ‘masks good.’”

The Associated Press Fact-Checking for this statement said, “He is skirting crucial context. Trump is telling the story in a way that leaves out key lessons learned as the coronavirus pandemic unfolded, raising doubts about the credibility of public health advice.

“Early on in the outbreak, a number of public health officials

urged everyday people not to use masks, fearing a run on already short supplies of personal protective equipment needed by doctors and nurses in hospitals. But that changed as the highly contagious nature of the coronavirus became clear, as well as the fact that it can be spread by tiny droplets breathed into the air by people who may not display any symptoms.

“Fauci of the National Institutes of Health, along with Dr. Robert Redfield of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Steven Hahn of the Food and Drug Administration and Dr. Deborah Birx of the White House coronavirus task force, all agree on the importance of wearing masks and

Walmart and many restaurants are not enforcing the ordinance. It seems that most people in Branson are quite blasé about the spread the virus.

during the over past 13 years I have used this invaluable facility. I overheard a comment on one of my visits, “Where are all the vehicles?”. I called some acquaintances who I know recycle, and none of them knew it was open. The only explanation is the lack of advertising that the Branson Recycle Center is indeed open for business. If you read this, please get the word out!

If we don’t use it, we might very well lose it. We can’t let that happen.

Preventing kitchen fires the focus of Fire Prevention Week 2020

Submitted to Branson Globe Branson Fire Rescue will focus on preventing kitchen fires from October 4 through October 10, during this year’s Fire Prevention Week, titled “Serve up Fire Safety in the Kitchen,” to educate the Branson community on simple actions they can take to stay safe.

Starting Sunday October 4, 2020, and throughout Fire Prevention Week, Branson Fire Rescue will post important safety tips and educational resources to its Facebook page (Branson MO Fire-Rescue) on ways to prevent kitchen and cooking fires. The Department is also creating virtual educational opportunities for area schools.

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), cooking is the leading cause of

home fires and home fire injuries in the United States. Almost half (44%) of reported home fires started in the kitchen. Two- thirds (66%) of home cooking fires start with the ignition of food or other cooking materials.

“Most kitchen fires we see in Branson start because food is left unattended on the stove top,” said Branson Fire Rescue Chief Ted Martin. “These fires can cause significant damage to homes and create a major risk to our citizens. We want our community to be aware of this risk because these are fires that can be prevented,” said Martin.

You can find more information on Branson Fire Rescue and the services it offers, on the City’s website at bransonmo.gov/165/ Fire.

Branson’s ‘purr-fect’ cat cafe offers unique, affordable entertainment

By K.D. Michaels, Staff Writer Mochas and Meows, Branson’s Cat Cafe, has become a popular destination for visitors and locals alike, and a perfect option for affordable fun for the family.

The cafe offers guests a variety of tasty beverages, including hot

and cold coffees and teas, smoothies and specialty drinks. Guests can sit in the cafe, viewing the cats through a large window, or make their way into the lounge for some up-close time with the cats.

Mochas and Meows is home to an average of 10 to 15 cats at any given time. The cats are on

loan from The Shepherd of the Hills Humane Society, and most are available for adoption. The lounge provides plenty of seating for visitors, as well as lots of enrichment, bedding and toys for the cats’ enjoyment, all in a clean and comfortable setting. .

Mary Trexler, owner of Mochas

and Meows, opened the unique business nearly a year ago, in November of 2019.

“I knew I wanted to start a business,” said Trexler. “Around the time I finished my Bachelor’s degree, my daughter, who was eight at the time, adopted a kitten. She had always loved animals, but she

All of the cats at Mochas and Meows are spayed or neutered, and up-to-date on shots. Trexler and her staff insure that they are in top health and ready to be adopted.

By spending time with the cats, isitors are helping in socializing them, as well as providing the love and attention they need to become perfect candidates for adoption.

Branson Prayer March 2020: Five miles of prayer and unity

By Cindy Thomas, Staff Writer On Saturday afternoon, September 26, the Branson Prayer March joined in united prayer with events in Washington, D.C. and other cities across the nation.

On the 5.2-mile route along 76 Country Boulevard and through downtown Branson, residents and faith leaders from Branson and surrounding communities were joined by people attending from as far away as Wichita and Kansas City. Other visitors waved and honked in support as they drove by in their cars.

Organizer Gena Hedgepeth said approximately 200 people participated, and nearly 50 of those walked the entire route.

They were led by Patrick Callahan and others who took turns carrying Callahan’s large wooden cross. Shuttles provided by local churches and ministries carried a

supply of water for participants and assisted with transporting marchers back to their cars.

At each of several stops along the route, a local pastor led in prayer. Jay Scribner, former pastor of Branson First Baptist Church, introduced each pastor

and the prayer focus for each stop. Prayers included the following: • Stop 1, Branson Star Theater, prayer for humility and repentance, asking God to heal our land. Led by Cary McKee, of CORE.

McCoy tries to concentrate on a lot of movement and creating a

lot of excitement. But Branson audiences don’t require him to do more than be entertaining, talented and just himself.

“Here in Branson you don’t have to do that as much,” he said. “I can really just buckle down and sing and talk to the people as the environment is a little different than what I am used to.”

LOCAL This year’s pandemic has effected him and his schedule just as it has all other musicians, singers and entertainers.

“COVID-19 has hurt our performance career it this year more than I would have ever thought,” McCoy said. “In any other year I usually average around 100 shows a year but with Covid we are going to be held to 20 or less this year.”

Clay Cooper has worked with McCoy in the past and was glad to get a chance to have him come back to his theatre. Neal performed at the Clay Cooper Theatre 2010-2013.

“We are so thrilled to have Neal McCoy back at our theatre for these three dates,” Cooper said. “In my opinion he is one of, if not the best, entertainers in the business.”

bransonglobe.com Citing McCoy’s number one records, top 10 records, entertainer of the year awards and his many USO tours, Cooper said, “He is the ultimate performer and it shows in every live performance he does.”

My younger brother was much more of a participant than I was. I was more of an observer. I loved watching games, and I really paid attention to the people announcing. The same announcers did all of the big events and that’s what I envisioned myself doing at some point.”

McCaulley began playing sports in Junior High. By High School, McCaulley had decided football was his preferred sport, although he served as team manager for his High School’s other sports teams.

Although he has surpassed 30 years at Hometown Radio, McCaulley really wasn’t expecting a long-term career when he began with the company in 1990.

“I fully expected this to be a stepping stone job,” said Mc-

Scott McCaulley, alongside broadcast partner Perry Phillips.

Caulley. “I wanted to get experience in doing sports on my own. But, as I went along, I found out two things. The first is that just because you’re ready to go someplace doesn’t mean that someone else is ready to give up their job. And, I found that I loved it here. Everything that I’ve wanted to achieve, goal-wise, I could do it right here, and do it in a town that I loved. I’ve really gotten to know the community and become a part of the community.

LOCAL I’m so grateful to be here and call Branson and Hometown Radio my home!”

Branson is where McCaulley met his wife Karen. The two dated for a year before marrying is 2007. Karen is a self-described sports widow, especially during football season.

Of this new honor, McCaulley said he responded to the news with awe and shock.

“I realized I’ll be joining a group of people who have been honored, and some of them I know. It means a lot,” explained McCaulley, adding that this is actually his second induction into the Hall of Fame.

“In a way, I’m already in the Hall of Fame, because my High School football team was inducted, as a team, in 2017,” explained McCaulley. “Greenwood was the first team in Springfield to win a state championship, so we got honored by the Hall of Fame as a team. This is a different honor, but to say you’re actually getting in the the Hall of Fame twice is pretty special, and I do appreciate that.”

McCaulley is quick to share credit with his co-workers.

“This is an individual honor, but there is no doubt that a lot of people have made it happen. When I give my three minute speech, there is no way I’m going to be able to remember and mention everybody,” McCaulley noted. “But, I am so grateful to everyone.”

Scott’s friends, family, and co-workers are all proud of Mccauley. Topping that list is Hometown Radio Manager Steve Willoughby.

“Anyone who knows Scott understands that he is a Hall of Fame person. Everyone on this team is

excited to see him honored by The Missouri Sports Hall of Fame,” said Willoughby. “Personally, I thank him for all he has done for the company, and am excited about his current projects that will debut soon.”

While awaiting his induction, McCaulley continues to work as hard as ever in his 31st season at Hometown Radio. This Friday will mark the 337th straight game that McCaulley has broadcast without missing a single one.

Branson salutes you, Scott McCaulley, and the community looks forward to hearing your voice for many years to come!

Kayaks are great ways to explore MDC areas in the fall

By Francis Skalicky, Missouri Dept. of Conservation SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – Whether you enjoy fishing area streams

or simply like to relax by spending a day floating, the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) wants to remind area paddlers that

kayaks and conservation areas go together in the fall.

With a kayak and a two-bladed paddle, you can easily scoot

into shallow areas or skirt places where clear water meets vegetated banks. The navigability a kayak offers an angler makes paddling

up to a root-wad or into a secluded area not accessible from a bank an easy task that may lead to a day of fishing fun. The same holds true for floating into a marshy shallow-water area to snap a picture of a heron, egret, or some other type of wetland wildlife. Kayaking takes on added pleasures in the fall as migratory birds use streams and lakes as stop-overs on their southerly journeys and the leaves of trees at water’s edge change from green to brilliant shades of yellow and orange.

Some people view kayaks as a stream vessel, but their navigability makes them great for exploring sloughs and other backwater areas of lakes, too. Southwest Missouri features a number of MDC areas where the combination of a kayak and either a fishing pole or a pair of binoculars and a camera (or all three) will lead to a memorable float.

A list of kayak-friendly MDC areas in southwest Missouri includes: Shawnee Trail Conservation Area: This 3,635-acre area in Barton County has Pin Oak Lake, 10 ponds and 29 strip mining pit lakes where a kayak can lead to a great day of fishing and/or nature viewing. Species that can be fished for include largemouth bass, bluegill, redear sunfish, and channel catfish.

Robert E Talbot Conservation Area: This 4,360-acre area in Lawrence County features two lakes where you can fish for largemouth bass, bluegill, and channel catfish.

Bushwhacker Lake Conservation Area: This 4,790-acre area in Vernon and Barton counties features tow lakes (Bushwhacker Lake and Willow Lake) where you can fish for bluegill, channel catfish, crappie, largemouth bass, and redear sunfish. Anglers who utilize kayaks have easier access to all of the water resources as Bushwhacker Lake is the only body of water on the area with a public boat ramp or a nearby road access.

Uncover the secrets of caves and cave life at MDC virtual program

By Dan Zarlenga, Missouri Dept., of Conservation St. LOUIS, Mo.—Many of us may not see them, but caves are very special habitats in Missouri; just as significant, important and diverse as forests or prairies. The Show-Me-State has more than 7,500 caves, and more are being discovered every year.

To help shed light on these dark worlds, the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) will present a special online program, Caves and Cave Life of Missouri, Tuesday, Oct. 13 at 7 P.M. This virtual program is free and open for all ages.

Learn why Missouri is often also called “The Cave State”.

It’s home to more caves than any other state in the nation, except for Tennessee which has over 10,000. Along with all those caves comes an amazing diversity of cave life. The program will explore some of the more than 1,100 animal species recorded living in or using Missouri’s caves, including prehistoric ice age animals. Missouri’s caves even harbor some

animals that are found nowhere else on Earth.

MDC naturalists will also discuss some of the unique challenges our fragile cave environments are currently facing. They’ll offer ways and advice to help participants who would like to explore caves for themselves, and how they can even contribute valuable citizen science that can aid researchers better understand these mysterious worlds.

Caves and Cave Life of Missouri is a free virtual program open to all ages, but advanced online registration is required at https://short.mdc.mo.gov/Z6r.

Attendees will receive an invitation by email from the MDC Event Management System with a WebEx program link the day before the program.

MDC offers many free educational programs in the St. Louis region to help people discover nature, fishing, hunting, and the outdoors. Stay informed by going to the MDC St. Louis reginal events page at https://short. mdc.mo.gov/ZP6.

This stretch of river is an easy float with moderately swift runs and deep, clear pools. The fall foliage provides a pallet of color along the rock bluffs that line the stream.

“Kayaking is an excellent way to experience the natural beauty of Missouri,” said MDC Southwest Regional Recreational Use Specialist Phillip Stearns. “Fall is also a great time to get outside and explore. Whether you are kayaking or not, every MDC area is unique and provides and different adventure.”

Regardless of where they put in, kayakers should remember to always wear a life jacket. It’s also best to kayak with others or, at the very least, let others know where you’ll be. Get information about other MDC areas to kayak at: https://nature.mdc. mo.gov/discover-nature/places

ACLU sues over Missouri order on evictions during pandemic KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The American Civil Liberties Union on Wednesday filed a federal lawsuit against a Missouri court order allowing some Kansas City area evictions to continue during the coronavirus pandemic.

Jackson County Circuit Court Presiding Judge David Byrn issued a Sept. 3 order banning evictions as long as tenants give landlords a declaration that they’re struggling to pay rent because of the pandemic. .

But the order still allows evictions if landlords don’t receive that notice from tenants or the eviction is based on tenants breaking the law, damaging property or violating a contract.

Attorneys for the ACLU argue the Missouri court order goes against a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention temporary ban on evictions intended to help with social distancing and make it easier for sick or at-risk communities to self-isolate.

“Evictions will disproportionately harm communities of color, and particularly women of color,” said Sandra Park, senior staff attorney with the ACLU Women’s Rights Project, in a statement. “All residents should have access to safe and stable housing throughout the course of this ongoing public health crisis.”

The national ACLU and the Missouri chapter sued on behalf of

KC Tenants, a housing rights organization in Kansas City.

A spokeswoman said in a statement that the Missouri court can’t comment on the pending federal lawsuit.

Missouri has reported 126,113 confirmed cases since the virus first hit the state, including 1,351 new cases Wednesday. The state also reported 32 new deaths, bringing the total to 2,118.

Republican Gov. Mike Parson and his wife are among those who have been infected with the virus. Parson, who tested along with his wife tested positive for the virus last week, on Wednesday said they both will stay in isolation for the remainder of this week.

Parson said he hasn’t experienced any symptoms. He was tested shortly after his wife, Teresa Parson, who had mild symptoms last week, tested positive. Parson said his wife no longer has symptoms.

Parson also on Wednesday announced the state bought four machines for coronavirus spit tests.

The Food and Drug Administration last month gave approval to a saliva-based test developed at Washington University.

Along with the testing machine at the university, Parson said the other four machines likely will be stationed in southwest Missouri, southeast Missouri, central Missouri and the Kansas City area.

Gifting big league foul balls sweet way to connect with fans

By Janie McCauley, Associated Press OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — It began when lifelong baseball fan Kimberlee MacVicar intimated that in her 52 years, she had never corralled a foul ball.

“I’ve waited half a century, so I’m not in a rush,” she texted me on July 24 — opening night in Oakland.

With nobody else to scavenge for baseballs during this strange COVID-19 season devoid of fans, I had a clear advantage as a regular covering Bay Area baseball and one of the few people allowed inside the stadium. So I saw to it that the next day, MacVicar received a ball hit foul by slugger Mark Canha as her Athletics defeated the Angels.

This sparked an idea: Why not share the souvenirs, spreading some joy to those who can’t go to the ballpark?

A’s management signed off on the project. The Coliseum grounds crew took to tipping me off as to where to find the prizes.

Across San Francisco Bay, the Giants’ clubhouse staff was encouraging. The public relations department provided permission to retrieve a ball or two mid-game at Oracle Park.

There were days baseballs would mysteriously turn up at my Oakland workstation. Other times, they were delivered during a game.

I’d regularly holler for an assist: “Where’d it land?” With no fans to stop them, balls roll fast and far.

Once retrieved, they went into my trunk for gifting — more than 100 so far. Some went to people I knew well, others to strangers, like the road maintenance workers and construction crews offered the usual choice: “clean, or dirty and scuffed?”

“Hmm ... dirty,” requested beloved Alameda kindergarten teacher (and A’s fan) Terry Eichel.

It was her first foul ball.

The farthest any ball traveled was some 5,500 miles, to longtime Giants fan Manner Pohl in tiny Schwentinental, Germany — a request from daughter Astrid Keene for his 85th birthday in August.

“He is so excited, giving him something to live for since he is almost blind,” Keene said. “It was wonderful to hear him being so happy.”

Balls have gone to essential workers — jovial UPS driver Derek Reynolds, friendly Tionne Eitz at the post office, firefighter colleagues Mike DeWindt and Stephen Lucero, grocery manag-

er Paul Chai, his brother and golf buddies. They have gone to perfect strangers like an overjoyed Padres fan in the Bay Area, Vinicio López.

There was a man named Casey, who secured a ball I dropped carefully from Oracle Park’s outfield walkway to the path along

McCovey Cove. When I saw him later, Casey was beaming. “I’m working on all the grips,” he said, proudly demonstrating one.

Balls went to Alameda Unified School District Teacher of the Year Brian Dodson, an A’s supporter all his life, and his principal at Maya Lin El-

ementary School, Judith Goodwin. To longtime local dance studio owner and instructor Marnell Xavier.

And to Cormac Daly, an Irish lad of 9 who roots for the Giants and played in Little League for the A’s.

Ireland’s Supreme Court has ruled that bread sold by the fast food chain Subway contains so much sugar that it cannot be legally defined as bread. (AP Photo/Charles Krupa, File)

Subway bread isn’t bread, Irish court says LONDON (AP) — Ireland’s Supreme Court has ruled that bread sold by the fast food chain Subway contains so much sugar that it cannot be legally defined as bread.

The ruling came in a tax dispute brought by Bookfinders Ltd., an Irish Subway franchisee, which argued that some of its takeaway products - including teas, coffees and heated sandwiches - were not liable for value-added tax.

A panel of judges rejected the appeal Tuesday, ruling that the bread sold by Subway contains too much sugar to be categorized as a “staple food,” which is not taxed.

“There is no dispute that the bread supplied by Subway in its heated sandwiches has a sugar content of 10% of the weight of the flour included in the dough, and thus exceeds the 2% specified,” the judgement read.

The law makes a distinction between “bread as a staple food” and other baked goods “which are, or approach, confectionery or fancy baked goods,” the judgement said.

Subway disagreed with the characterization in a statement.

“Subway’s bread is, of course, bread,” the company said in an email. “We have been baking fresh bread in our restaurants for more than three decades and our guests return each day for sandwiches made on bread that smells as good as it tastes.”

Bookfinders was appealing a 2006 decision by authorities who refused to refund value-added tax payments. Lower courts had dismissed the case before it reached the Supreme Court.

Subway said it was reviewing the latest tax ruling. It added that the decision was based on an outdated bread exemption set by the Irish government that was updated in 2012.

At home: Making the most of lighting can keep moods lifted

By Melissa Rayworth, Associated Press Sunset is arriving noticeably earlier, meaning less mood-lifting daylight for everyone. The weather is turning colder, so we’ll soon spend even more time cooped up inside the homes where we’ve huddled, and sometimes completely quarantined, for six months.

Many of us are working and studying at home by day, then trying to shift into relaxation mode in the very same rooms at night. And we’re doing all of this while battling the many stresses that 2020 keeps on delivering.

If ever there was an autumn when things could be a bit brighter, this is it.

So while better light bulbs or a repositioned lamp won’t solve everything, it’s a great year to reassess the way your home is lit -- and possibly make some changes.

It’s hard to step away from work or school when you’re living in your workspace. One way to shift the mood and tell your body and brain that it’s time to relax is to change the lighting when day becomes night.

By day, use lightbulbs that mimic daylight (about 5000 Kelvin).

Virginia-based architect Warren

Ralston says this is usually the lighting we see in offices, because its cool white hue offers plenty of energizing brightness.

Smart LED bulbs can be set to this brightness in the morning and kept there all day.

“Another great thing about 5000K daylight LED is how well it works for video conferencing,” says Atlanta-based interior designer Brian Patrick Flynn. “Anytime I’m working from home, I turn on the overhead LEDs and it eliminates yellowy shadows from the videos.”

When your workday is over, switch to lamps and fixtures fitted with traditional warm bulbs or set your smart bulbs to a lower intensity (about 3000-3500 Kelvin, or as low as 2500 for very warm light).

Many types of smart lightbulbs can be adjusted easily with a remote control or through an app, Flynn says. “This is hugely helpful for creating ambience and warmth versus using pure daylight for work purposes.”

You can also set your lights on timers, so your preferred evening lighting comes on automatically.

Brightening up your home

may be about repositioning the lights you already have, rather than adding more.

“Light has to reflect off of something in order for your eyes to perceive that light,” Ralston ex-

plains. “So you don’t really light a space. You light a surface.

You’re lighting a wall or a floor or an object.”

Try positioning lamps or overhead lights so the light

bounces off items you want to highlight, or off surfaces like a glossy tabletop or lustrous fabric.

Lottery winner out of luck when ticket gets lost in mail RIDGE MANOR, Fla. (AP) — A woman who won $1,000 in a second chance drawing on July 29 isn’t getting her prize because the certified letter she sent to the Florida Lottery’s headquarters never arrived.

Sue Burgess told WFLA that of-

ficials in Tallahassee told her “no ticket, no prize.”

The second chance lottery prize gives winners limited time to turn in a ticket to claim the prize. Their options are to either put the ticket in a drop

box at a local lottery office, which were not then open to the public due to the coronavirus pandemic, or mail them to the headquarters.

Burgess told the television station she felt it would be safer

to send the ticket via certified mail with the U.S. Postal Service.

The tracking information shows the ticket arrived at a Tallahassee post office at 7:12 a.m. on Aug. 12. But the online tracking shows the ticket was never delivered to the lottery office.

When Burgess called, lottery officials told her that without a ticket, the prize would go to an alternate winner.

In a second chance game, the lottery has a record of winners because players register their names and contact information. Burgess told the station she was notified she won by a lottery official who called to give her the good news.

Typically, lottery winners of more than $600 can submit winning tickets in person at their local lottery office. But because of COVID-19, offices were closed to the public. Burgess says she was told she could send the ticket via certified mail or leave the ticket in a drop box at a local lottery office.

Burgess said there was a oneweek time frame to submit the ticket, but she missed an email about

being a winner and by the time the office called her, she only had days to get the ticket postmarked.

“That’s why you chose certified mail,” Burgess told the station. “With COVID, I understand the mail is a little bit slow. But for safety sake, certified mail usually has priority.”

Lottery officials told WFLA the claim was never received at the headquarters.

The claims department told Burgess to contact the postal service to find out what happened to the letter. The postal service said they are investigating what happened.

In a statement to the station, the postal service offered an apology to Burgess for any “inconvenience.”

If the package arrives, lottery officials told the station they would bend the rules and pay Burgess the $1,000 if it was postmarked by the original deadline.

“Ms. Burgess’ situation is an unusual circumstance and, to our knowledge, no other winner has experienced a similar issue,” the lottery said.

and art to make better use of the light coming from ceiling fixtures and sconces.

Ralston sometimes uses virtual reality technology to show clients what a room will look like at different times of day, and how lighting options would look paired with different furnishings. He says they’re often surprised at how different the light looks depending on what surfaces surround it.

In the fall, lighting a few logs in a traditional fireplace is a great way to shift the mood in your home. And if you don’t have a fireplace, you can still enjoy that same warmth and flickering light, says designer and sculptor Elena Colombo, who creates fire features that range from elaborate outdoor installations to delicate tabletop fire bowls.

And to cooks like Carlos Cruz at Little House Cafe who makes a mouth-watering breakfast burrito.

And bakers like Beth Woulfe and her staff at Crispian Bakery.

And to Padres fan Bob Gans, who stopped to talk about bay swimming on a visit from La Jolla and walked away with a souvenir.

A small fire bowl can be used on a coffee table or as a centerpiece on a dining-room table to create a warm, welcoming, flickering light that’s a step beyond what candles offer, Colombo says. Many fire bowls burn an alcohol-based gel that requires no ventilation.

“As soon as your eye sees the flame,” she says, “it just changes your mood.”

When choosing your source of indoor firelight, just be sure to follow any fire safety restrictions where you live.

And when night falls, Colombo suggests switching on a few low-wattage lights near the door to your deck or patio. Just having a view of your warmly lit outdoor space can keep you from feeling penned in on a dark autumn night. It will make your home feel more expansive, and maybe even inspire you to grab a sweater and sit out under the stars.

Cathie Caris, a fan of both the A’s and Giants, was thrilled when a ball turned up on her porch. Her thank you note is lovely and handwritten.

“You certainly cheered me up once again with your thoughtful and sweet and cool gift from the ballpark (that I miss so much),” said the proud owner of classic Converse sneakers — in both Giants orange and A’s green, of course.

Authorities use pear to capture escaped emu named Kermit BOSTON (AP) — An emu that was spotted roaming the streets of a city near Boston was corralled by authorities in Massachusetts.

The emu was reported Wednesday morning in Haverhill, about 35 miles north of Boston, and was captured two hours later.

The Eagle-Tribune reported that the emu named Kermit, escaped from the property of a local resident who cares

for unwanted animals. The resident had been preparing to transport Kermit to a farm in Maine when it fled.

Authorities say the bird was captured safely after it was given a pear from a nearby tree.

Native to Australia, emus are the largest living bird after the ostrich and can reach up to nearly 100 pounds and a height of almost six feet. They run fast and can become aggressive.

Confident No. 21 Tennessee set to take on Missouri next

By Teresa M. Walker, Associated Press The Tennessee Volunteers have picked up where they left off last season, and each victory just keeps building their confidence.

The 21st-ranked Vols now have won seven consecutive games and trail only Air Force and Notre Dame, winners of eight straight,

for the longest winning streak in the Football Bowl Subdivision.

The streak includes five straight in the Southeastern Conference, a drastic change from a year ago when they started 1-4.

Belief in third-year coach Jeremy Pruitt couldn’t be higher after beating South Carolina 31-27 to open this season.

“Guys are just buying in to the program, buying in to what Coach Pruitt is saying every day and it’s just coming to light,” pass rusher Deandre Johnson said. “These guys are working hard, busting their tails off and we just want to win, so it’s coming to light.”

Tennessee is back in Knoxville for its home opener hosting Mis-

souri on Saturday afternoon. Missouri is 3-1 at Neyland Stadium, but the coronavirus pandemic has stripped away much of the pageantry that visitors usually face.

The Tigers lost their opener 38-19 to No. 2 Alabama, and now first-year coach Eli Drinkwitz gets to take them on the road. Missouri hasn’t lost its first two games since 1996. Drinkwitz says the Tigers have plenty to work on after losing to Alabama.

“Before we can win a championship, we got to keep from beating ourself,” Drinkwitz said. “And we had too many self-inflicted plays on offense, defense and special teams where we just didn’t execute to the standard that we need to execute to.”

The campaign called (hashtag) FreeCadeMays finally succeed Wednesday night when SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey approved a number of waivers for players who transferred inside the school. The lineman transferred from Georgia in January soon after his father, Kevin, sued the university over an incident that cost him part of a finger.

Mays had to sit out the opener, but he’s been practicing. He should move immediately into the starting lineup for a Tennessee offensive line that now is as strong as the Vols have had in a few years.

“We’ve repped him all the way through camp with the twos at different positions just in case it did happen

we would be ready,” Pruitt said.

The Tigers ranked 14th nationally in total defense last season, and they piled up nine tackles for loss in the opener. The unit is led by junior linebacker Nick Bolton, and Missouri has a trio of safeties defending the back end in Joshuah Bledsoe, Tyree Gillespie and Martez Manuel who had a team-high 3 1/2 tackles for loss.

Tennessee allowed 290 yards passing in its opener, and now the Vols are poised to add some help.

Starting safety Jaylen McCullough and cornerback Warren Burrell should be back to help the depth after cornerback Bryce Thompson moved to safety at South Carolina.

Defensive end Darel Middleton also will have a chance to play after sitting out the opener.

Missouri is 4-4 since joining the Southeastern Conference in 2012 in the Tigers’ first road game of the season. Drinkwitz showed last season at Appalachian State he knows how to take a team on the road and win, going 6-0 with wins at North Carolina and South Carolina.

Tennessee will have fans inside the stadium with approximately 25% of capacity. There won’t be the traditional Vol Walk before kickoff among all the changes for the pandemic. Senior wide receiver Brandon Johnson said it will be different, but it’s till home.

Look, up in the sky... it’s a random meteor

PITTSBURGH (AP) — A flash that lit up the skies over parts of Pennsylvania and Ohio in the wee hours of Wednesday was probably a random meteor, an expert said.

Many social media users around the Pittsburgh area reported seeing a streaking fireball shortly after 4 a.m. It remained in the skies for a short time before disappearing from view.

A security camera at a property owned by Mark and Rosemary Sasala in New Lyme, Ohio, northwest of Pittsburgh, captured a brief, bright flash partially obscured by clouds around 4:20 a.m.

The American Meteor Society, a nonprofit group, said it received more than 200 reports of a bright fireball over eastern Ohio. Robert Lunsford, a society official, said the fireball was most likely a random meteor not associated with any known meteor shower.

It takes an object only the size of a softball to create a flash as bright as the full moon, Lunsford said. This object was probably a bit larger, Lunsford said, but more analysis would be needed to determine its size.

The National Weather Service in Pittsburgh said it was aware of the reports but had no information.

Officials at the University of Pittsburgh’s Allegheny Observatory did not immediately comment.

Parrots learned from watching the Trump/ Biden debate

LONDON (AP) — A British zoo has had to separate five foul-mouthed parrots who keepers say were encouraging each other to swear.

Billy, Eric, Tyson, Jade and Elsie joined Lincolnshire Wildlife Centre’s colony of 200 gray parrots in August, and soon revealed a penchant for blue language.

“We are quite used to parrots swearing, but we’ve never had five at the same time,” said the zoo’s chief executive, Steve Nichols.

“Most parrots clam up outside, but

ODDITIES IN THE NEWS “When a parrot tells tells you to ‘f-— off’ it amuses people very highly,” he said Tuesday. “It’s brought a big smile to a really hard year.”

Nichols said the parrots have been separated to save children’s ears. They were moved to different areas of the park so they don’t “set each other off,” he said.

The hefty gourd was grown by local farmer Mohamed Sadiq. It was the largest pumpkin to be grown outside of a greenhouse and the second largest pumpkin ever grown in Utah, event organizers said.

The event was an official weighing session for the Great Pumpkin

Oct. 2 - 3, 2020 • 25 Commonwealth, an organization that has made giant pumpkin growing a hobby with standards to ensure quality, competition fairness and education.

The group is hosting a second event at Hee Haw Farms in Pleasant Grove on Oct. 10.

for some reason these five relish it.”

Nichols said no visitors had complained about the parrots, and most found the situation funny.

LEHI, Utah (AP) — The Utah Giant Pumpkin Growers group has recorded eight pumpkins from the state this year that weighed more than 1,000 pounds, setting a state record.

The first-place pumpkin at the 16th annual event last Saturday in the city of Lehi came in at 1,825 pounds, KSTU-TV reported

Pleasant weather continues through the weekend

By Daryl Weather, Weather Forecaster What a pleasant week it has been in the Ozarks! Temps managed to stay quite comfy with the exception of Wednesday’s highs in the mid 80’s.

A cold front moved through the area on Wednesday although we didn’t feel the temp change until Thursday.

These cool temps will stick with us through the weekend as well as

another shot for rain on Saturday.

Sunday may start with a few lingering morning showers around parts of the Ozarks but skies will eventually become partly cloudy the remainder of the day. We will then begin a slight

warm up at the beginning of next week with temps once again working their way to around 70 to lower 80’s

by Tuesday. I’ll keep an eye on the remainder of the week and have that in Sunday’s edition.
