Voters Out in Force

‘Peyton Always Had A Smile’

By Laura Miserez and Kristen Dragotto Missourian Staff Writers

Record-Setting Turnout Voters stand in line outside the Washington Public Library as they wait to cast their ballots in the general election Tuesday, Nov. 3. The polls were open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. during the Missourian Photo/Julia Hansen. election. For election returns see emissourian.com.

Election Day got off to a strong start in Franklin County.

Just after 6 a.m., it was tough to find a parking space outside Elks Lodge 2651 in St. Clair, where a line outside ran the length of the building and beyond.

The line, however, was social distanced, and voters were inside within 15 minutes and finished with the whole process within a half hour of getting in line.

Scenes like that were repeated around the county, with record absentee voting morphing into Election Day enthusiasm.

More than 60 people were in line at 6 a.m. at the Washington Public Library when voting started.

Another 50 were either in line or inside voting at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Union at 6:45.

Many of the voters said they needed to be there.

“I lack the understanding and the ability to wrap my head around why people don’t vote,” Jessica Catron, a state government worker, said outside the Washington library. “This is the only way to get your voice heard.”

Some people who didn’t vote in 2016 came out to the polls this time.

“If the wrong person wins, they can’t blame me for not voting,” Aaron Stamper, who works for Silgan Containers, said outside St. Paul.

Franklin County Clerk Tim Baker, who stopped by the polling location at East Central College in Union, said the Washington library was among the busier voting spots in the county. But interest was high everywhere.

“I’ve heard people were waiting at 5:30,” he said.

“The lines are moving as quickly as they can, and that’s a good thing.”

Overall, things were running smoothly Tuesday

“We’ve had some machines that weren’t working properly,” he said. “We have protocols in place for that, and they’ve all been traded out. Everything is up and running like it’s supposed to.”

Good weather also is likely improving turnout, or at least getting people to show up earlier in the day, said Baker, who is estimating 73 percent vot• See Election Page 2A

Peyton Baumgarth, 13, died on his favorite holiday.

The Washington Middle School eighthgrade student died Saturday, Oct. 31, at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital in St. Louis, becoming the youngest person in Missouri and the first child under 18 in the state to die from complications of COVID-19.

“We are a tight-knit family, so not being able to be there to support one another broke our hearts,” said Cyndi Crawford, Peyton’s aunt. “We would have been there, every single one of us, if we could have.”

Nationwide, 111 children under 18 have died from COVID-19, according to information from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

A funeral Mass will be held at St. Francis Borgia Church, but the time has not been decided. A friend of the family, Mary Payne, Pacific, organized a GoFundMe fundraiser to help Peyton’s family with medical bills, funeral expenses and loss of pay related to time off work. At press time, the fund had raised more than $33,000 from more than 1,000 donors, with donations ranging from $5 to $200, and the link had been shared more than 6,200 times. It’s available online at gofundme.com/f/ peyton039s-guardian-angels.

Peyton’s love of the holiday might stem from a childhood costume.

Several Halloweens ago, as moms and dads around Washington dressed their children for a night of trick-or-treating, Stephanie Franek put the finishing touches on her son’s costume. She’d piled Peyton’s thick curls atop his head and handed him a lollipop. That night, he was representing the Lollipop Guild from the “Wizard of Oz.” Crawford, who spoke to The Missourian on behalf of the family, recounted how much Peyton looked forward to the holiday, although, because of COVID-19, the family wasn’t planning to trick-or-treat this year.

By all accounts, Peyton was a typical teenager ­— he loved to sing, travel with his family and play video games.

“I never saw him without a (video) game in his hand,” Crawford said. His favorites were Fortnite and Pokémon GO, and he enjoyed making YouTube videos to share his gaming experiences.

Cases Surpass 3,000 Milestone in County

By Kristen Dragotto

dragottok@emissourian.com

COVID-19 cases continued their upward trend this week, with 48 new cases reported by the Franklin County Health Department Tuesday, Nov. 3, including a 4-year-old girl from Labadie and a 93-year-old man from New Haven.

The total number of coronavirus cases reported in the county since March stands at 3,088.

The health department reported a record-breaking number of new virus cases in a single day Sunday, Nov. 1, when 77 cases were reported. Active long-term care cases that day were 101, which includes both residents and staff.

There were 80 active cases in long-term care facilities reported Tuesday.

Presiding Franklin County Commissioner Tim Brinker — who serves as the public information officer for the county health department regarding the COVID-19 pandemic — said personal protective equipment from the county was available for long-term care facilities if they need it.

“The owners and management (of long-term care facilities) have it down good,” Brinker said. “The virus is still being a virus, and there is not much we can do other than mitigation measures to prevent the spread.”

The Missourian reached out to area long-term care facilities about the surge in CO-

VID-19 cases being reported.

Pat Cokingtin, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Americare Senior Living, the parent company of several area long-term care facilities, said a total of two employees are COVID-19 positive between Victorian Place of Washington & The Arbors Campus and at its South Pointe & The Arbors Campus. “Both employees remain off work while they recuperate,” she said.

Cokingtin said all employees and residents were tested Oct. 27 at Victorian Place & The Arbors and Oct. 26 at South Pointe & The Arbors. All of those tests, she said, came back negative.

Americare’s six other area properties are also virus free

ELECTION CONTINUED FROM 1A

er turnout for Franklin County.

Presidential Election The presidential race between incumbent President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden drove many to the polls.

Trump won 70 percent of the county in 2016, but not everyone in line Tuesday favored him.

“It is super important, and I hate Donald Trump,” said Samantha Cranmer, 20, outside American Legion Post 218 in Washington.

Despite being 66 years older than Cranmer, another voter, Don Luehr expressed similar sentiments.

“I want to get rid of that (S.O.B.) out of the White House,” said Luehr, 86, at ECC. “Because he’s a lyin’ son of a gun, and what he said about the military.”

Meanwhile veteran George Wheeler, 74, who has voted in every election since he was 21, said at St. Paul that Trump deserves another four years.

Salesperson Terri Hilkerbaumer agrees,

recent family vacations through Indiana, Kentucky and Missouri’s Ozarks region, including Table Rock Lake.

His uncle, Wayne Franek Jr., said Peyton was also an avid music lover.

“He loved to listen to the radio, and he loved to sing,” Wayne Franek said. “He liked all kinds of music.”

When he wasn’t playing video games or listening to music, Crawford said Peyton was a social butterfly and loved talking to people and making people laugh.

“He was so sociable.

He never met a stranger,” Crawford said. “He always had a smile on his face. Always. He found the humor in everything.”

Peyton’s passing was confirmed by the Washington School District on Sunday evening. Superintendent Dr. Lori VanLeer wrote in a statement, “We Wednesday Real extend our Missourian: heartfelt symEstate Ads – 2 p.m. Thursday; pathies to the family ...

saying she is voting for Trump to keep the country patriotic.

“He’s a businessman; he’s not a politician,” she said at ECC. “He’s not up there to make money the way other politicians are. He’s there to get our country back to how it should be.”

While the presidential election received much of the attention, the ballot featured many statewide contests, including for governor and two amendments.

Among those is Amendment 3, which would change the Clean Missouri Initiative approved by voters in 2018.

“I have gone both ways on it,” said Gerrid Manasco, an information technology specialist, at the American Legion Hall.

“I can see where it can be good and bad. It is a sticky situation.”

Additional counselors will be available when students return to the middle school Wednesday, Nov. 4, from break.

Initially thought to be a virus that would primarily target people 65 and older, in recent weeks a number of children 13 and under have tested positive for the virus.

As of Tuesday morning, the Franklin County Health Department reported 20 Franklin County children have tested positive. In the month of October, 32 children ages 10 and younger, tested positive, including multiple infants and toddlers.

VanLeer said Peyton’s last day at school was Thursday, Oct. 22, and officials were notified of his quarantine Monday, Oct. 26.

Crawford said the hardest part of the situation was that the family couldn’t be there to comfort Peyton in his last days because of safety restrictions.

The family was shocked by the suddenness of Peyton’s worsening symptoms. Although Crawford said Peyton did have asthma and a thyroid condition, neither is believed to have contributed to his passing.

That tight-knit family includes Peyton’s 16-yearold sister, Morgan, who Crawford said Peyton enjoyed a typical brothersister relationship with where “they had their ri-

‘Everybody’s Working As Hard as They Can’

3A

Mercy Doctor Fights COVID-19 Surge in Nursing Homes

Alongside schools, area nursing homes were some of the first places to close to the public for the safety of the staff and residents. Per the CDC, around 80 percent of the more than 237,000 COVID-19 deaths reported in the U.S. are adults 65 and older. Since long-term care facilities have many people living under one roof, it increases the chance that any contagious disease will spread.

“Generally speaking, all nursing facilities are vulnerable because they are the residents’ home,” Sobers explained. “If you get a cold, everybody else in your home is potentially going to get it because they share the dining room table with you, for example. So nursing facilities are an area where this virus can really set in.”

Sobers said the facilities’ staff members who come to love the residents like family because they spend so much time with them have been greatly impacted.“When you see residents who you’ve developed a relationship with struggling with this virus, it’s just really difficult,” she said.

In warmer months, staff could bring residents outside to see family members from a safe distance.

As November and the cold arrive, however, the facilities will have to think of other options, such as virtual visits or a special room that’s regularly sanitized where screened and tested family could potentially visit. Sobers said staff is acutely aware of the adverse effects isolation and loneliness can have on residents, so the restrictions, even where they are necessary, are not easy decisions to make.

The best days, Sobers said, are when a resident, against all odds, recovers from the virus’ immediate symptoms.

“That makes everyone feel really good. I know a COVID-19 diagnosis is scary for residents and their families, so when someone survives and does well, that is heartening.”

The most important takeaway of her experiences working in the long-term care facilities, Sobers said, is to follow the CDC’s safety guidelines to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus.

“I struggle to understand why people would choose not to do the few things that we actually have control over,” Sobers said. “We know now that wearing masks helps. We know distancing and washing hands helps. As a health care provider, I would remind people that this disease does not discriminate, and it might impact a stranger or it might impact someone close to you.”

Sobers said she also hopes the community

Dr. Karen Sobers loves working in long-term care facilities. When she graduated from medical school in her native Barbados, she joined the staff of a nursing home there until she came to the U.S. in 2011. She worked in hospitals in Mount Vernon, Ill., and Ann Arbor, Mich., and after residency couldn’t wait to get back to nursing home residents. Two years ago, she started with Mercy Hospital Washington as an internal medicine specialist who travels to all the county’s nursing homes to provide in-house care.

For the last six months, that’s also meant caring for residents suffering from COVID-19-related complications and supporting their families, who have not been allowed to regularly visit for fear of someone bringing the virus inside.

“This situation is really stressful for everybody, for families who are not able to be there, for staff who are losing residents they’ve gotten close to and cared for so dearly, and for us. There’s a certain helplessness because we don’t have a cure,” Sobers said. “This is very difficult. Every facility, every staff member, every family, everybody’s working as hard as they can to ease the suffering.”

On Tuesday, the Franklin County Health Department reported 80 active COVID-19 infections in long-term care facilities, which include both resident and staff members, in Franklin County.

This number is lower than the total reported by the health department on Friday, which was 88 active cases.

The number of COVID-19 infections involving nursing homes had been increasing in recent weeks with a new record being set on Nov. 1 when the health department reported 101 active cases.

The previous record had been 90 cases on Oct. 28.

On the day COVID-19 was first reported in Washington, Sobers was caring for her newborn son on maternity leave. Her colleague, Dr. Kim Colter, who usually works at facilities in Gerald and Union, was serving the entire region. When Sobers returned in mid-April, the facilities looked very different than she remembered.

“The whole flow of how things normally work in facilities was impacted by COVID-19, and we had a lot of residents who were ill,” Sobers said. “COVID-19 was very new at that time as well, and we’re still learning more and more about this virus.”

Trump Train Rolls, Draws Big Crowd

By Julia Hansen

hansenj@emissourian.com

Sunday’s pro-Trump demonstration was arguably the largest political rally in Washington in recent years.

Donald Trump backers flooded the city’s streets as a way to show support for the president who is seeking a second term. Looking to unseat the president is former Vice President Joe Biden, a Democrat, who has been leading Trump in the national polls but is trailing Trump in Missouri by 8 percentage points. Other candidates running for president are Jo Jorgensen, Libertarian Party; Howie Hawkins, Green Party; and Don Blankenship, Constitution Party.

“This was not in my eyes gonna be huge, but it blew up,” said Jordan Krafft, who created the event on Facebook.

On Sunday afternoon, car after car came cruising to Lions Lake. Eventually, the vehicles adorned with proTrump flags and signs, were bumperto-bumper at the fairgrounds.

By the time Zach Burris, one of the attendees, pulled out of the fairgrounds gates, he had counted about

300-350 vehicles that had come to join the parade.

“I’d say there were close to 500,” Krafft countered.

Regardless of the final count, down the road went the trucks, cars, semis and ATVs, all waving variations of the same flag.

The parade route brought vehicles from Lions Lake to Front Street, turning on Market Street and weaving their way through residential areas before turning on to Fifth Street, then Highway 100 and then heading toward the Industrial Park before returning to the fairgrounds. At various stops along the way, groups of people gathered to wave and cheer on the honking participants.

When Krafft returned to the fairgrounds, “there were still people on Front Street,” he said.

Participants in the parade were encouraged to bring nonperishable food to be delivered to area food pantries.

On Monday night, Krafft reported that donations were split among three local pantries and Harvest Table.

Immanuel Lutheran Reopens Tuesday

After temporarily closing on Monday due to a teacher testing positive for COVID-19 over the weekend, Immanuel Lutheran Church and School was back in session Tuesday.

A few staff members are quarantined due to potential exposure, and the teacher who tested positive is resting at home with only minor symptoms, Principal Nick Hopfensperger said.

Substitute teachers will be filling in for those classes, which will continue to be held in-person.

The school, which houses students in preschool through eighth grade, worked with contact tracers through the Franklin County Health Department to let every student and staff member who was potentially exposed know to quarantine.

Monday, school officials also hired an independent contractor to sanitize the building ahead of Tuesday’s resumed classes. Hopfens-

perger said the cleaning was not inexpensive, but a mix of state and federal funds, as well as some money the school budgeted for this scenario, should cover the cost.

“We’re very thankful for the planning we did over the summer,” he said. “We’re glad to have protocols in place.”

Administrators with the school said the infrastructure for virtual learning is already largely in place should teachers ever need it.

“We’re a small family here,” Hopfensperger said. “Everyone is invested in making this work.”

City Has Concerns Over CARES Funds

By Kristen Dragotto

dragottok@emissourian.com

Washington city officials raised concerns during Monday night’s council workshop meeting over the disbursement of CARES funds and expressed their frustrations on the tight hold the county has on them.

“When the money was first allocated, Tim Brinker explicitly said ... ‘we are looking forward to it being too much money and sending some of it back’, which is absurd when our municipalities have expenditures that are eligible (for reimbursement),” said Gretchen Pettet, Ward 4 council member.

Brinker is the presiding Franklin County commissioner. To date, the county has issued $1.7 million of the $12.1 million it was given.

Ward 2 Council member Mark Wessels said the council had received emails from the Municipal League of Metro St. Louis, regarding the “$500 million sent to the counties” and its report that only 20 percent of county funds were reaching the cities.

“I asked (Mark Skornia) if this was true here, and he said, ‘basically yes’, we have only received 20 percent of what was earmarked for us to use during this COVID time,” Wessels said, adding that City Administrator Darren Lamb and Mayor Sandy Lucy have “tried to get some of those funds released,” and that he does not understand why the county “won’t let that money loose.”

The discussion erupt-

ed when Mark Skornia, emergency management director, gave a department report.

Skornia said it has been a “mixed bag” in terms of what has been approved by the county for CARES Act reimbursement and what has been rejected.

The city’s request for $5,000 of the funds for equipment to accept credit cards and touchless payments for the Washington City Landfill was rejected. Lamb said the landfill is critical not only for Washington, but also for the other cities in the region who rely on it.

City officials also requested reimbursement for up to 80 hours of sick pay for employees with COVID-19-related illnesses and quarantines, which the city is required to pay.

Shauna Pfitzinger, human resource generalist, said employees can apply for Family and Medical Leave Act funds, which requires the city to pay two-thirds of normal pay. “(This was) an unfunded mandate and we did not get any relief as a city to go ahead and do that,” Lamb said. “We felt we could get that (relief) through (CARES Act monies), and it is our understanding they have said they will not pay for such.”

The city, as a public entity, does not get any sort of relief via tax breaks like private employers do for mandated paid time off for COVID-19, Lamb added.

The county has no appeal process for rejected CARES Act funding claims.

Brinker told The Mis-

sourian the county is being “responsible and conservative” with its approach in distributing CARES Act funding.

“The county’s position is and will be that these monies are for the defense of the virus and as a result of the virus spread for government agencies,” Brinker said.

He said the commission is expected to approve orders related to CARES Tuesday, Nov. 3. Those approvals were for 10 Franklin County school districts.

Brinker said the commission approves orders related to the CARES Act once a month.

The city has received approvals on two submissions for reimbursement, including for disinfectant spray and chemicals and personal protective equipment and cleaning supplies costing $9,934.17, Lamb said.

Community and Economic Development Director Sal Maniaci said the city plans to apply for three more reimbursements, including an infrared light to kill germs for the new pool.

Lamb said Mexico, Mo., which is also building a pool with the same contractor, was able to utilize CARES funds for the same item.

Jeff Patke, Ward 3 council member, said he understood from the beginning that the county could not just give the money out from the front end and have none, but with two months left it’s “got to go somewhere.”

“If you keep saying no, and Dec. 31 comes,” Patke said, “what happens to the money then?”

Locust Valley to Host Grand Opening

By Julia Hansen hansenj@emissourian.com

Locust Valley, a 27 single-family cottagestyle home housing development located along Locust Street between Eighth and 10th streets, is set to have its grand opening weekend Nov. 14 through 15.

“This will be our first project in the city,” McBride Homes representative Jeannie Aumiller said in July. “We’ve been anxious to enter this city for quite some time.

We’re excited about this city for a lot of reasons.

First and foremost you have a long history of generational business in your city. We’re going into our 76th year, so we’re a generational business too. We like that connection.”

The 5 1/2-acre property, which was the former location of a Frick’s building, a mobile home park and a private residence, was purchased

by McBride and Sons, LLC earlier this year for $557,400, according to previous Missourian reporting.

After homes are built, the value of the development is estimated to be $13,000,000, according to Erin Hadebeck, director of marketing.

The lots are being sold by McBride Washington, LLC.

The Frick’s building was razed in 2017.

“This is a prime downtown Washington area location, and with the pent-up demand for new and modern housing options in the area, this is a wonderful opportunity for local residents,” John F. Eilermann, Jr., chairman and CEO of McBride Homes, stated in a press release.

Of the 27 prospective homes in Locust Valley, 12 of the homes will face Locust Street. The other homes would access a new street, which is slated to be named Maple Valley Court, according to The Missourian archives. This new street would end in a “hammerhead” instead of a cul-de-sac.

During the grand opening weekend, buyers will receive $10,000 off the base price of their home. Base prices start at $169,900 and go to $199,000, but final price may reach mid-upper $200,000 if buyers add higher end selections while customizing their home, according to Hardebeck. The 48-hour discount is only available during the grand opening.

The information center is open daily to discuss homesites and floorplans with a sales consultant on-site, ac-

cording to the press release.

Buyers will be able to choose from four plans, three of which are 2-story layouts and one ranch-style option.

In addition, prospective home builders would be able select from two or three bedrooms and single or two-car garages. All but three of the homes would have a full basement, company representatives said earlier

this year.

Buyers can also customize their home at McBride’s design studio, located in Chesterfield Valley, choosing flooring, cabinets, lighting, countertops, etc.

“We’ve attained a higher caliber of personalization in the homebuying process while providing innovative designs and a stress-free, customer-focused process,” stated Eilermann.

“It’s truly been a game changer for us.”

Adjoining the housing development will be the Busch Creek Greenway, a 3-mile bicycle and walking path. City officials said the work on the project is expected to start in 2021. In 2018, officials said the goal is for the trail to start at Jefferson and Eighth streets and head east

before ultimately connecting with the eastern entrance of the Rotary Riverfront Trail. The path would run next to the skate park at Optimist Park and the dog park.

For more information about the Locust Valley development, contact Beth Niehoff, sales consultant, at 636-4741801.

Washington.

World Watches American Elections With Interest For four years, the world’s nations have watched as a very different American president engages with the international community — or doesn’t.

Longtime alliances have been strained, agreements wiped away, tariffs erected, funding withdrawn. Some nations have been the objects of presidential derision. Others, like North Korea, have been on the receiving end of diplomatic overtures once considered unthinkable.

For countries around the planet, the presidency of Donald Trump in its first term has been, it is safe to say, a singular experience to watch. Now that an inflection point in Trump’s time in office is at hand with Tuesday’s U.S. election, what’s at stake if his presidency ends — or if it continues? Nation by nation, how is Election Day in the United States being watched, considered, assessed?

THE KOREAN PENINSULA For both North and South Korea, the fate of nuclear negotiations is top of mind as the two countries look at the U.S. election.

With the talks in disarray, the election could have serious implications for North Korea’s relentless pursuit of an arsenal capable of targeting U.S. allies and the American homeland.

President Donald Trump’s three summits with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un since 2018 — which South Korea helped set up — brought a temporary lull to tensions.

But negotiations — which seek to exchange an easing of crippling U.S.-led sanctions for disarmament steps by the North — have now stalled.

If Trump is reelected, some experts say the North would try to resume the summits. North Korea prefers a summit-driven process, which gives it a better shot at winning instant concessions, such as Trump’s surprise agreement to cease major U.S. military exercises with South Korea after his first meeting with Kim. Democratic challenger Joe Biden, whom North Korea’s state media has

called a “rabid dog” after he accused Trump of cozying up to dictators, has endorsed an approach that starts with meetings between lower-level officials.

He has also demanded that the North show genuine willingness to abandon its nuclear weapons and missiles.

THE PHILIPPINES The next U.S. president could reshape the country’s relationship with President Rodrigo Duterte, who leads a key American treaty ally in Asia — but presents a dilemma.

Duterte has been regarded by international watchdogs as a human rights calamity for his notorious anti-drug crackdown that has left thousands of mostly poor suspects dead. He has been accused of undermining one of Asia’s most vibrant democracies — an American legacy.

Known for his expletive-laced outbursts, the 75-year-old leader is hypersensitive to criticism of his so-called war on drugs. He once told then-President Barack Obama in a speech to “go to hell.”

Unlike his predecessor, President Donald Trump has not publicly raised red flags over Duterte’s brutal campaign. Trump’s gambit won him cozier ties with Duterte, who called on Filipino Americans in March to vote Republican, saying, “you are getting the best deal with Trump.”

But the Filipino leader has pressed on with his anti-U.S. broadsides while nurturing ties with China and Russia.

In February, his government notified Washington of its intent to terminate a key security pact, although he later delayed the effect of that decision.

“Do we need America to survive as a nation?” he asked. He essentially said, no.

While a Trump reelection would likely mean business as usual for Duterte, a Biden presidency carries the prospect of a stronger U.S. pushback against Duterte at the risk of further alienating the leader of a crucial ally with less than two years left in office.

Midnight Voting Is An Election Tradition DIXVILLE NOTCH, N.H. (AP) — Two tiny New Hampshire communities that vote for president just after the stroke of midnight on Election Day have cast their ballots, with one of them marking 60 years since the tradition began.

The results in Dixville Notch, near the Canadian border, were a sweep for former Vice President Joe Biden who won the town’s five votes. In Millsfield, 12 miles (20 kilometers) to the south, President Donald Trump won 16 votes to Biden’s five.

Normally, there would be a big food spread and a lot of media crammed into a small space to watch the voting, Tom Tillotson, town moderator in Dixville Notch, said last week. But that’s no longer possible because of the coronavirus pan-

demic. It’s also hard to observe the 60th anniversary of the tradition, which started in November 1960.

“Sixty years — and unfortunately, we can’t celebrate it,” he said.

A third community with midnight voting, Hart’s Location, suspended the tradition this election because of coronavirus concerns. It decided to hold voting from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Tuesday. The White Mountains town started the early voting in 1948 to accommodate railroad workers who had to be at work before normal voting hours.

It eventually stopped in 1964 and brought it back in 1996.

The communities also vote just after midnight for New Hampshire’s first-inthe-nation presidential primary, which was on Feb. 11. That almost

didn’t happen this year in Dixville Notch, when one person moved away, leaving the remaining four residents one short of the minimum needed to handle various election responsibilities.

That was fixed when a developer working on renovations of the nowclosed Balsams resort, where the voting tradition began, moved in.

For years, voting was held in a wood-paneled room filled with political memorabilia at the Balsams, which closed in 2011. Some of those items were brought over to a former culinary school on the property, the setting for Tuesday’s vote.

Is there a curse on the team that loses the Super Bowl during the next season?

San Francisco 49ers fans would probably tend to believe there is right now.

The Niners, defending NFC champions, have been plagued by injuries, starting with an ankle injury to starting running back Raheem Mostert and a knee injury to star defensive end Nick Bosa in Week 2 while otherwise cruising to a 31-13 win at the New York Jets.

San Francisco is somehow still 4-4, which puts them well ahead of any NFC East team this season.

However, the Niners leave Week 8 with injury designations assigned to their two primary running backs (Mostert and Tevin Coleman), a backup running back (Jeff Wilson Jr.), young wide receiver standout Deebo Samuel, all-pro tight end George Kittle, three members of the defensive line (Bosa, Solomon Thomas and Dee Ford), veteran cornerback Richard Sherman — and for the icing on the cake — starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.

The latest news suggests both Garoppolo and Kittle, the team’s best offensive weapon, will miss multiple weeks.

The previous Super Bowl runners-up, the Los Angeles Rams, followed their run to the championship game in 2018-19 with a 9-7 record in 2019-20 and missed the playoffs.

The Carolina Panthers followed their Lombardi Trophy loss in Super Bowl 50 with a dismal 6-10 season the next year.

Going back the past 10 seasons, only three teams (the 2019 New England Patriots, 2015 Denver Broncos and 2012 Patriots) have won their division the year following a Super Bowl loss.

It doesn’t look promising for the 49ers to be able to make that short list this season. They currently sit fourth in the NFC West behind the Seattle Seahawks (6-1), Arizona Cardinals (5-2) and the Rams (5-3).

The Niners will have to move past at least one of those teams while also fending off runnersup from the NFC North and NFC South just to get back in the playoffs.

Notice, I don’t include the NFC East in the wildcard consideration.

That’s because the Philadelphia Eagles lead the NFC East with a losing record of 3-4-1.

They are the only team in that division even sniffing .500 right now.

The Washington football team (2-5) currently holds down second place in that division, followed by the Dallas Cowboys (2-6) and the New York Giants (1-7).

History often repeats itself, though not usually this accurately.

St. Clair football (8-0) won in Week 10’s Class 3 District 2 quarterfinal round, 49-0, against visiting St. James (1-9).

That score was a direct repeat of the previous meeting in Week 6 when the Bulldogs blanked the Tigers in St. James.

Friday, the Bulldogs came out of the starting gate hot with three offensive touchdowns in the first quarter.

Two more offensive scores and a Dakota Gotsch interception return for a touchdown made it 42-0 at halftime.

“It’s always tough to play somebody twice,” St. Clair Head Coach Brian Robbins said. “We St. Clair running back Landen Roberts (23) leaps over teammate Wade may have that happen Hoffman (gray 4) and St. James defender Peyton Maylee (18) Friday in again next week. The good thing is, we’ll be at Week 10 play. The Bulldogs won the district quarterfinal game, 49-0.

Scoring early and often, the St. Francis Borgia Regional football Knights (6-3) cruised to a 44-6 win over Winfield (0-10) Friday in the MSHSAA Class 3 District 3 quarterfinals.

“It was one of those games,” Borgia Head Coach Dale Gildehaus said. “We knew going into this game that they were struggling.

They were 0-9 for a reason. Every one of our kids played. Their kids played hard. Their quarterback had some speed.

Defensively, we knew what they did and we defended well.”

It took the Knights 24 seconds to get onto the scoreboard and by the time the first minute had ticked off the clock, Borgia was up 9-0 after a safety.

Pacific football is a playoff winner.

For the first time since the current district tournament format was introduced in 2012, the Indians will advance to the second week of the postseason. Pacific, the No. 5 seed in Class 4 District 2, won on the road at Windsor (2-7) in Week 10 action Friday, 50-34.

The Indians (2-5) doubled their season win total with the victory and now advance to a Week 11 game at No. 1 John Burroughs (2-1).

That game will have a Saturday kickoff at 1 p.m.

“I’m really happy for our kids, that’s for sure,” Pacific Head Coach Paul

battleb@emissourian.com

Day said. “I know, obviously, they were excited Friday to advance and get to play another game.”

Junior running back Matt Austin powered the Indians to their highest scoring output of the season, running for six touchdowns.

“He had a really good night,” Day said. “Our guys did a good job up front. We did good throwing the football, which changes what you see and then he did a good job of being physical and doing the things he’s capable of doing.”

The Indians trailed, 21-14, at halftime, but came out of the half with three straight scores and never looked back.

This championship didn’t come easily. Savannah, the home team, scored the game’s first run in the bottom of the third inning.

Sullivan responded with two runs in the top of the fourth and made that stick for the remainder of the game.

Sullivan outhit Savannah, 6-4.

In the circle, it was a team effort. Hanna Johanning started and went 2.1 innings, allowing one run on three hits and four walks. She struck out seven.

It took five tries, but the Sullivan softball Lady Eagles have claimed their first state championship.

Sullivan (21-9) edged Savannah (18-2) Friday in Springfield, 2-1, to win the MSHSAA Class 3 state title.

It was the school’s first softball championship and came after four previous runner-up finishes and two thirdplace trophies.

Just to get to a state tournament was a victory of its own.

Junior setter Annie Arand said it was an accomplishment to make the state tournament.

“It feels amazing,” Arand said. “We’re going to state for the third year in a row. Class 5 is a lot of fun. That was a great game. I’m just so proud of the team and how we fought through today. It was a long day, but we endured and showed our toughness.”

Steiger said he knew his team was in for a major challenge.

“Welcome to Class 5,” Steiger said. “Cor Jesu has tradition.

They’re extremely wellcoached and fundamentally sound. That was great defense we played against, which gave us problems in the first set.

We had to find our way and gain some momentum.”

Union Shuts Out Clayton In District Grid Opener

By Mike Marler

Missourian Sports Writer

How ready were the Union Wildcats to return to action?

Hosting Clayton Friday to open Class 4 District 2 play, the Wildcats (4-4) rolled to a 42-0 win over the Clayton Greyhounds (1-3).

The win came after Union missed two weeks due to COVID-19 quarantines. Union last played Oct. 9 at Owensville.

“We were ready to play and that is all on our kids,” Union Head Coach Justin Grahl said.

“They came back on Tuesday ready to play.

We didn’t really talk about taking two weeks off. We didn’t really talk about the adversity. We just got to work and they didn’t look back. I am very pleased their effort, their focus, and energy this week in practice. That is why we were able to come out with a win tonight.”

The victory put Union into this Friday’s district semifinals. The Wildcats will host sixthseeded Sullivan, an 18-0 winner over No. 3 Affton Friday night. Union won

Against Clayton, Union offensively totaled 351 yards with 160 yards passing and 191 yards rushing while holding Clayton to 85 total yards on the night.

“It was a solid night defensively, offensively, and on special teams,” said Grahl. “It was a complete game. We are happy with the outcome.

Offensively, it was a balanced attack tonight.

We were able to run, able to pass and that is when we are going to be our most dangerous. It is always fun to win a district game and have

Lady Knights scared,” Brown said of the class assignment. “I saw we were going to play all of those big teams like Lafayette. But once we started practicing, I started seeing what our team really was, and I knew we were going to go all the way.”

Senior Alicia Baylard said it’s great to be going to Cape Girardeau.

“It feels amazing,” Baylard said. “It’s like a dream, going to state again.”

Cor Jesu carried its momentum from a three-game sectional sweep of Oakville in the sectional round into its match against the Lady Knights.

Undefeated coming into the match, the Chargers showed swagger in jumping out to a 4-1 lead.

Borgia showed its moxie by bouncing back to tie it at 6-6, and it was a tight contest from there.

Borgia last led, 20-19, on a Brinkmann kill. Cor Jesu tied it on a kill by Gretchen Olson. The Chargers got a kill from Kaylie Drysdale and never trailed again.

Borgia managed one point down the stretch before Cor Jesu ended it, 25-

21, on a kill from Jacqueline Beville.

That’s when Borgia adjusted.

“We started slow,” Steiger said. “We had a lot of mistakes and had to play catch-up that entire first set. It caught up with us and we dropped it. Hat’s off to them. It’s Cor Jesu.

Their defense was phenomenal. They were picking up hits and touching everything we had. We had to calm down and find a groove.”

Arand said it wasn’t hard to make small changes.

“I thought we got a little too far ahead of ourselves,” Arand said. “We weren’t laying our game.

We weren’t controlling the tempo. If you control the tempo, you control the game and the court. We all know how to work together as a team.”

Brinkmann said the team focused on positives.

“Cor Jesu is a great team,” Brinkmann said.

“You can only do so much.

At the end of the day, it’s who wants it more.”

Glastetter said Borgia adjusted its blocking.

another week of football with your guys.”

On the first play from the line of scrimmage, Liam Hughes connected with Nick Birke on a 27yard scoring pass. Luke Koch added the extra point and the Wildcats went up 7-0 at 7:22 in the first quarter.

Grahl said the first play was drawn up from something they saw on film.

“We saw some stuff on film and we wanted to take advantage,” said Grahl. “Sometimes you draw it up and it works.

We were fortunate on that first play to get the look we expected and it all worked out well. The really nice thing to see was Nick ran a great route and Liam delivered the ball where it needed to be. Sometimes when you are that wide open it is hard to do.”

Union up 21-0 at the end of one quarter and 35-0 at the half.

Union’s final score was on a three-yard run by Wyatt Birke in Union receiver Donavan Rutledge moves under a pass Friday against the fourth quarter. The Clayton.

Borgia trailed early in the fourth game, but came back. The teams swapped the lead until Kaitlyn Patke and Brown combined for a block, 12-11.

Borgia never trailed after that point. Cor Jesu made it close a few times, but Borgia finished it out.

Down the stretch, Arand fed the ball to Brinkmann on the outside and she had four of the final four Borgia kills, 25-19.

“My arm physically could have fallen off my body before I stopped playing,” Brinkmann said.

“I can always trust all of my hitters,” Arand said.

“I just know Ella can be a dependable hitter out there. She’s just a gamer.

She knows where to put the ball down and where to place it. I always trust her.”

Brinkmann had another huge game with 32 kills, 12 digs and two blocks.

Brown was next with 11 kills and added six digs and four blocks.

Borgia, Rockwood Summit Advance to Title Match

By Bill Battle

It will be St. Francis Borgia Regional and Rockwood Summit playing Wednesday night in Union for the Class 3 District 6 boys soccer title. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m.

Both won semifinal games Monday at Stierberger Stadium.

“Summit is a strong program and a good team,” Borgia Head Coach Daniel Strohmeyer said. “We will have to play our best soccer to beat them. The good thing is that we are playing our best soccer of the season right now.

Mental toughness is going to be the key.”

Second-seeded Borgia (14-9) won a highscoring game against the third-seeded Union Wildcats (18-4-1), 6-2.

“Union played hard and they have a lot of talent,” Strohmeyer said. “They are going to be a very good team over the next couple of seasons.”

In the opener, topseeded Rockwood Summit (8-5) controlled play in a 4-0 win over fourthranked Pacific (8-10-2).

Borgia-Union The final game of the night showcased the offenses of both Borgia and Union.

Union scored first.

Evan Hall hit the back of the net following a Union corner kick with 28:08 to play in the first half. Luke Smith assisted.

“Up and down the field, we played a solid game,” Strohmeyer said. “We have struggled against setpieces in our box all season. It is the discipline to stay with

walked once.

Calloway stole a base and scored the run. Tipton had the RBI. Crump felt her team started to peak around the postseason, which has been typical for Sullivan teams in recent years.

“The team really started playing together and for one another around the district tournament, which is a great time to peak,” Crump said. “We had four different players quarantined throughout the postseason and actually did not have our complete starting lineup back until the state championship ballgame.”

Crump said the team got better through adversity.

“Through those quarantines, we found our grit,” Crump said. “New, younger players had to step up when we needed them the most and they did. Our leaders did a great job of keeping everyone calm and loose. We went into every ballgame with the ‘it’s just another game’ mentality.

This group did not seem to feel any type of pressure on them at all, even going into the championship game.”

Crump said it’s been

with 5:04 to play.

But, with Union pushing up, that left plenty of openings in the defense. The Knights added the game’s final goal with 1:18 to play when Nowak finished an attack.

Zach Mort assisted on two goals. Dyson, Justin Mort and Nowak each had one assist.

Justin Mort made four saves in the win.

Pacific-Rockwood Summit Pacific’s busiest player was Jared Hootman and the goalkeeper stopped many Rockwood Summit shots.

“They are extremely skilled and tactical,” Pacific Head Coach Jesse Knott said. “I definitely was pleased with the way our defense played and Jared Hootman had a heck of a game back in goal. He really ended the season nicely in these last two weeks.

He had a tough task this year in filling in for Bailey Hoehne and every mistake was going to be magnified. I really liked the fact that he was able to reset after each game.”

The top-seeded Falcons scored two goals in each half. It was 2-0 late in the game before Rockwood Summit added its final two goals.

Mason Crew, Kyle Trombley, Joe Simon and Drew Johnson scored the goals.

Tony Yan assisted on two of them. Simon and Ryan Montgomery each had one assist.

Dominic Haggard stopped four shots for the shutout.

“I though our center mids played excellent last night as well,” Knott said.

2X2s for January 19, 2020 (all statewides unless noted) Sullivan Jaedin Blankenship earned the win in relief.

She entered the game with the bases loaded and allowed one hit over the remainder of the game. She improved to 11-5.

Madyson Stahl, who missed the semifinal win over Bowling Green due to quarantine, made up for lost time with two hits. She doubled and tripled.

It got us again last night to give up the first goal to Union. I was happy with how we responded after Union’s goal. We raised our level.”

Borgia struck back just under six minutes later. Ethan Mort finished the goal.

The Knights took the lead for good four minutes after tying it. Zach Mort hammered a low shot from the left side.

Cooper Bailey dove for the ball, but couldn’t corral it. Jake Nowak was there at the right post in case it didn’t go into the net.

That’s how it stood at the half with Borgia leading 2-1.

Nowak got his goal just over three minutes into the second half. The 3-1 score stood until a flurry in the final 14 minutes.

“It was tough to watch the end of the game, but this group of young men have showed us so much fight, determination, guts, composure, and passion,” Union Head Coach Josh Wideman said. “We knew they would never give up. I felt like we were just one finish away from making it a game when it was 3-1. This group has come back four times being down by two goals.”

Ethan Mort scored his second goal with 13:26 to play.

With 7:55 to go, Borgia made it 5-1 with Andrew Dyson getting the goal.

Union got a consolation goal. Isaiah Cojocaru took advantage when Justin Mort came too far out of his net to play the ball. Cojocaru intercepted the pass and hit a long shot into the goal

an amazing whirlwind of events since the final out was recorded.

“The amount of support and messages we have received over the past few days is absolutely incredible,” Crump said. “We are so blessed to live in a small town with such big support. For this group to be the first Sullivan team ever to win a team state championship is really special. In what I called several times a ‘rebuilding year’ and during a season of uncertainty, for things to come together like they did toward the end is really a feeling that I cannot describe. These young ladies displayed true, unselfish teamwork and heart. Just unbelievable.”

Girls Frances Luna led the

way for Cor Jesu with the top time of 20:04.48.

The Lady Indians did not have any runners finish in the top 15 to qualify for the state race.

Fortunately, most of them are underclassmen and will be back next year.”

Amber Graf (23:11.54), Carly Vaughn (23:17.1) and Riley Vaughn (23:20.76) all finished together for the Lady Indians in 17th, 18th and 19th place.

Senior running back Lance McCoy was Robbins’ primary weapon of choice this week, rushing for 106 yards and three scores. McCoy accounted for half of the Bulldogs’ six offensive scores.

“He’s got a nose for the end zone,” Robbins said.

“Not that Shane (Stanfill), Landen (Roberts) or Dakota don’t, but he just happened to be the one that scored tonight. Shane got in. Dakota made a fantastic interception over here on the sideline. That was just a great play.”

McCoy ran the ball in from five, eight and 35 yards. His interception in the second period eventually led to his third and final rushing score.

That was the only pass St. Clair needed to complete. The Bulldogs amassed 247 rushing yards.

St. Clair’s defense had a big performance with four interceptions. In addition to Gotsch and McCoy’s plays, Isaac Nunez denied St. James a score with an interception in the end zone and Anthony Broeker also made an interception.

Lady Shamrocks Advance To State Volleyball Event

By Bill Battle

battleb@emissourian.com

It’s been a long and winding road for the New Haven volleyball Lady Shamrocks.

And, New Haven will gas up the bus once again this week, heading to Cape Girardeau for the MSHSAA Class 1 Championships.

“I believe that this is the furthest that we have had to travel, but that’s the way it goes sometimes,” New Haven Head Coach Jaime Hoener said. “We’re just thankful to get the opportunity to play.”

New Haven (11-13-3) won the sectional event Saturday at Appleton City to reach the MSHSAA semifinals.

New Haven opened play Saturday with a 25-23, 25-21, 21-15, 2521 win over Rich Hill (15-11) in the sectional round.

In the quarterfinals, the Lady Shamrocks swept Greenfield (18-123), 25-12, 25-14, 25-13.

“We did not play well against Rich Hill,” Hoener said. “We were very tight and very nervous. It was hard to get anything going. Rich Hill was pretty scrappy and I think our hitters got a little frustrated.

Serving was kind of a disaster as well. I was thankful that we kept trying and working hard, but it was a struggle to get anything done

that game.”

Everything came together in the quarterfinals.

“Greenfield was a completely different story,” Hoener said. “We played with confidence and poise and it was an enjoyable game to watch. I’m very happy for all of the girls, especially the seniors. It never gets old.”

State Tournament New Haven will play Advance (33-1-2), the defending Class 1 state champ, Friday at 4:30 p.m. in the semifinals.

The Lady Shamrocks will either play for the Class 1 third-place match Saturday at 9 a.m. or for the title Saturday at 11 a.m.

Playing in the other semifinal are Midway (22-1) and Lesterville (24-10-2).

Greenfield In the quarterfinal, Ellie Westermeyer led the team in kills with eight. Lexi Feldmann and Hannah Rethemeyer each knocked down six kills.

Maria Sheible was next with five kills.

Natalie Covington contributed four kills. Lucy Hoener had three while Alaina Scott added two kills.

Covington was the digs leader with 17.

Sheible was next with 11 while Hoener and Peyton Sumpter each had 10 digs.

Assessment Meanwhile, in the AFC, the defending Super Bowl LIV champion Kansas City Chiefs are moving along right on schedule at 7-1.

The Chiefs did take a thump from the Las Vegas Raiders in the first half of the season, but nobody but the 1972 Miami Dolphins can win them all and I’d much

rather see Kansas City take a loss like that now than later on.

The Pittsburgh Steelers (7-0) are the last remaining unbeaten team in the league after a 2824 win at the Baltimore Ravens this week, so the ’72 Dolphins can’t uncork their annual celebratory champagne just yet though.

Westermeyer picked up eight digs, Rethemeyer added four, Sheny Delgado had two and Payton Burkhardt ended with one dig.

Covington dealt out 15 assists. Westermeyer was next with 13 and Hoener had one.

Feldmann had two blocks. Hoener ended with one.

Covington, Hoener and Sumpter each served two aces. Rethemeyer, Sheible and Westermeyer each had one.

The Steelers were a road block to the Chiefs in the playoffs prior to the arrival of Patrick Mahomes. The steel curtain is looking formidable again this season and it looks as though the Steelers could be the biggest obstacle between the Chiefs and a chance to repeat as champions this year.

Doyle Wins Class 1 District Race

By Arron Hustead husteada@emissourian.com

The Fulton School at St. Albans will once again be represented in the state cross country championships.

Freshman Katherine Doyle was the fastest in the Class 1 District 2 girls race Friday at McNair Park in 21:53.2.

“I wasn’t sure how this season was going to go,” Fulton School Head

Coach Carl Doyle said.

“She started with a win in her first race, a freshmansophomore race, and just progressed from there. She just ran a really good race (Friday).”

Senior Jace Cavness, defending Class 1 state champion, placed seventh in 18:41.3.

“He’s had some injuries and was not able to run all summer,” Carl Doyle said. “Right now, he was just happy to get to state.

#1 CyberSite

We’re hoping to maybe get him to all-state. His fitness just isn’t to that level right now, so we don’t expect to win the state again this year. He has a good attitude about it though and those things are beyond his control.”

Senior Thomas Doyle placed 20th in the boys race in 20:04.1.

“He’s been close (to qualifying) all four years, but it just wan’t there for him,” Carl Doyle said.

New Haven Girls Capture Cross Country District Crown

By Bill Battle

battleb@emissourian.com

There will be plenty of green in Columbia later this week.

New Haven qualified its girls cross country team for the MSHSAA Class 2 Championships at Gans Creek Recreation Area by winning last Saturday’s Class 2 District 4 meet in Linn.

“It was one of the best races we have ever run on the girls side,” New Haven Head Coach John Tucker said. “We lost our No. 5 runner to a concussion two weeks ago and our chances of qualifying as a team were really in doubt but the girls ran a very smart and gutsy race.

This is one of the most resilient groups I have worked with. Every time we have faced a setback they come back strong.”

The Lady Shamrocks scored 50 points to win by four over Russellville.

There were five schools with enough runners for

Pacific

“The kick team did a nice job covering and that was a big play there to get the turnover and score right away.”

Next Up Burroughs did not get in on the action until Week 6, but started the season strong with a 48-21 win at Priory and then a 38-0 home win against Clayton.

The lone loss for the Bombers came in Week 9 against MICDS, 42-6.

“They’re really talented on both sides of the ball,” Day said of the Bombers. “Their kids play hard and they are really wellcoached. We have to play hard and have a good week of practices. That’s the fun of playoff football.”

Burroughs was idle in Week 10 by way of a firstround bye.

team scores.

By virtue of winning the district title, the entire girls team gets to run Friday in the Class 2 state meet.

The New Haven girls will run Friday at 1:30 p.m. New Haven’s lone boy, Logan Williams, will run at 4 p.m.

Girls New Haven senior Emma McIntyre won the individual title with a time of 21:17.60.

Gracie Steele, a freshman, was third in 22:43.40.

Next was senior Caroline Otten, who was 13th in 23:38.40.

Senior Hannah Borcherding placed 19th with a time of 24:28.40.

Haleigh Nieman was New Haven’s fifth runner, ending 24th in 25:28.40.

Boys Williams, a junior, placed 15th in 19:16 to make the state cut.

New Haven’s other runners all placed in the top 24.

Junior Charlie Roth was 18th in 19:36.90.

Sophomore Andrew Rethemeyer ran 19th in 19:39.40.

Junior Hunter Tallent ended 21st in 19:49.20.

And, senior Matthew Otten finished 24th in 20:20.60.

“Our boys put up a good fight as well but only Logan Williams qualified,” Tucker said.

“I’m really proud of the effort Logan and the other boys have given all season. We missed qualifying as a team by four points, which is pretty impressive since this is only the second race all season that I ran my top five boys.”

New Haven scored 95 points to end fourth among seven teams.

Tolton Catholic won the title with 28 points.

There was a scramble for second place.

Russellville scored 91 points while New Bloomfield was third at 92.

In just three games, Bombers junior quarterback Duncan Cloniger has played at a very high level, completing 59-74 passing — a completion rate of nearly 80 percent. He’s thrown for 789 yards with eight touchdowns and just one interception.

The Bombers have rushed for a total of 252 yards in their three contests. Most of that, 136 yards, have come from the legs of senior Malachi Chunn.

Junior Caleb Merritt has been Cloniger’s top target with 16 catches for 292 yards and three scores.

Chunn is also a preferred target with 12 grabs for 165 yards and two scores.

Windsor went ahead early against the Indians

with a 27-yard touchdown run by Jordan Foster two minutes into the game.

Austin answered back with a two-yard score, cutting the lead to 7-6.

A defensive stop allowed Austin’s next score, from 22 yards out, to give Pacific its first lead 90 seconds into the second period. Meyer’s two-point conversion run made it 14-7.

Windsor answered back with a Chris Butts touchdown run and a Nolan Hirth touchdown pass to Mike Wolcott, the later coming with just 16 seconds left in the second quarter. The Owls went into half ahead, 21-14.

The third quarter was all Pacific though as Austin found paydirt for a third time on a two-yard run to make it 21-20.

one quarter and was up 44-0 at the half.

“It was very important for us to get out to the lead for our playoff hopes,” Borgia senior running back Alonzo MacDonald said.

“We really felt good.”

Borgia senior Ryan Kell said the Knights took care of business.

“It feels good to go onto the next round of the playoffs,” Kell said. “It’s survive and advance. We’ll take it one game at a time and take if from there.”

Kell scored twice on the night. He caught Sam Heggemann’s lone pass for a 51-yard touchdown and then returned an interception 44 yards in the second quarter for a touchdown.

“The interception was a good read,” Kell said. “I think he ran an out and I had it covered. I broke on the ball and got to the ball to get the interception. My eyes lit up when I saw the ball. All I had to do was make the catch.”

MacDonald scored on carries of 48, 15 and 64

• Continued from Page 1B yards in the first half.

“I went through the line and a linebacker dove at my feet,” MacDonald said about his first touchdown.

“I made a little cut and ran to the outside and ran in as fast as I could.”

For the night, MacDonald carried the ball 109 times for 171 yards.

“The line really blocked well,” MacDonald said.

“Everything was open.”

The Knights gained 264 yards on the ground on 25 carries and scored four touchdowns.

Heggemann ran for the other score on his lone carry of two yards.

Tyler Stieffermann had two carries for 38 yards.

Trenton Volmert ran four times for 27 yards.

Luke Kloeppel had one carry for 15 yards. Alec Gillette ran five times for 11 yards. Gavin Mueller had one carry for five yards and Ben Roehrig lost five yards on his carry.

Roehrig also attempted a pass.

Defensively, Sam

Schmidt had four tackles, including the safety with 11:02 to play in the opening quarter.

Mueller was next with three total stops. Brady Kleekamp had three assists.

Nick Dyson, Kell, Stieffermann, Thomas Engemann, Nic Swoboda, Kloeppel, Gillette, Ryan Kampschroeder, Garren Parks and Alec Riegel each had two tackles.

It was Dyson’s return from an injury which kept him sidelined for the past few weeks.

Schmidt, Stieffermann and Swoboda posted sacks.

Borgia had 315 total yards offensively with nine first downs. The Knights were 1-5 on third-down conversions and were penalized twice for 10 yards.

Each team made one turnover, and both were returned for touchdowns.

Winfield’s lone touchdown came on a Cole Sams 23-yard fumble return with about 10 minutes to play in the fourth quarter.

R-XI Schools May Get Upgrade

By Geoff Folsom

folsomg@emissourian.com

With construction complete on the Union R-XI School District’s last round of bond-funded projects, the district is retaining the same architects for possible future improvements.

But Superintendent Dr. Steve Weinhold said the agreement doesn’t mean another school bond election is imminent.

“Yes, we just completed a major project, but we want to start on our next long-range plan,” Weinhold said at an Oct. 21 board of

education meeting. “So we asked our current architect, HTK Architects, to give us a bid for helping along with the long-range plan.”

The plan is especially needed for two campuses, Weinhold said. Union Middle School, the town’s former high school, is more than 100 years old, while Central Elementary School was built in 2000 and upgrades need to be considered for the growing community.

The board voted to keep on HTK Architects of Overland Park, Kan., for its

five-year facility master plan. The district is paying HTK a fee up to $38,550 for its services, plus up to $500 in reimbursables, though Weinhold said he doesn’t expect the fee to get “anywhere near” that cost.

“If you look at their proposal, while it’s very extensive, I don’t see us moving that far along very quickly,” Weinhold said. “It goes all the way to a bond issue, we just completed a bond issue ... We want to start planning and getting the schematics going now, so we’re ready for any growth

and anything in the future.”

According to a letter HTK President Mark Franzen wrote to Union R-XI Assistant Superintendent Dr. Mike Mabe, the scope of the architect services include identifying repair and renovation needs in the district and preparing enrollment capacities.

Meetings will be conducted with administration, staff, the board and the community, while up to three master plan concepts are developed.

The final plan will be adopted and presented to the

board, should it get that far.

“HTK will work closely with your steering committee to develop a working document that outlines your facility needs for the next five years,” Franzen wrote. “We also understand that this scope of work may also become the basis for a future bond issue.”

Weinhold said Friday that, while HTK wanted to do the long-range plan all the way for a bond issue, the district is currently concerned about Central and the middle school.

Food Truck Discussion Revisited

Catch and Release Ricky Davis, 8, cuts a fish loose while his brother, Riley Davis, has a line in the water Monday, Nov. 2, at City Lake in Union. The lake opened Sunday, Nov. 1, after it was stocked with trout, but trout must be released if caught before Feb. 1, Missourian Photo/Geoff Folsom.

2021.

After pushing back a decision on food truck regulations just before the start of the coronavirus pandemic, Union is again looking at mobile concessions.

The city had been looking at how cities like Washington, Sullivan and Eureka regulate food trucks.

“I think we’re just drawing pieces from here and pieces from there,” Mayor Rod Tappe said after an Oct. 26 planning and zoning commission meeting.

The city had several months with limited events because of the pandemic, with popular annual festivities like Founders Day and the Franklin County Fair canceled and others limited. But in recent weeks, food trucks and other vendors have been taking part in the Union Farmers’ Market, including one serving beer.

“They’re trying to really find the direction they’re going to go in, it’s a lot different than the Farmers’ Market

Trash Pickup Days to Increase, Change

By Geoff Folsom

folsomg@emissourian.com

Starting Dec. 1, Union will have trash service five days a week instead of the current four. But that means new pickup days for some residents.

“There will be some confusion, I would anticipate, with changing some sections from one day to another, but it’s really something better for the community with the additional day of pickup,” City Administrator Jonathan Zimmermann said at the Monday, Nov. 2, personnel, finance and public works committee meet-

ing.

Ben Vander Baan, district manager for Bridgetonbased Waste Connections, said the garbage contractor is planning to use the month to let residents know of the changes.

“If anybody has a problem, ... we’ll, obviously, go back and help the folks,” he said. “If they move from, say, Tuesday to Wednesday, that’s really not a problem, since we’ll be out there on Wednesday anyway. For the folks going backward, we’ll work with you guys, go back there and pick ’em up — help until everybody gets used to the new schedule.”

Alderman Karen Erwin said she sees no problem with the change. No vote was needed.

“I think you guys do a good job, by the way,” she told Vander Baan.

The move will add cost to Waste Connections’ operations, but will help with issues like trucks filling up, Vander Baan said.

“But as you guys continue to grow, which we hope you guys want to and will continue to do, it’s just going to help us better suit your needs, especially that last pickup of the month, the bulk pickup,” he said.

“That’s where we’re running

into issues, just being able to service you the way we want to.”

The city plans to let residents know about the changes on social media and its website. Alderman Bob Schmuke asked if the change could be included in city water bills but was told they have already been sent out for the month.

Waste Connections also could send out flyers about the change, Vander Baan said.

Under the new plan, the north central part of town, just west of Highway 47, will now have its trash picked up on Mondays.

Tuesday trash pickup will be for the southwest part of town, south of West Springfield Avenue and Highway 50.

Downtown, as well as areas along South Highway 47 and south of East Central College, as well as between North Highway 47 and the Bourbeuse River, will have pickup Wednesdays.

Thursday pickup will be for the area west of downtown.

Areas east of ECC will have pickup on Fridays.

Aldermen approved a five-year extension of the city’s contract with Waste

Craft Fair Helps Diabetes Camp

By Geoff Folsom

folsomg@emissourian.com

A diabetes wellness camp got a boost from a Beaufort Lions Club fundraiser.

The Oct. 24 craft fair raised $420 from booth rentals for 21 vendors, said Ruth Boyer, diabetes chair for Lions District 26-M2.

“I am tickled to death,” Boyer said. “Everything looks good.”

The first annual event featured everything from Christmas decorations to woodwork and other crafts.

About 50 visitors came in within the first few hours it was open. Tables rented for $20 each and all but one was sold.

Boyer came up with the idea for the event in the community west of Union because she wanted to try

something different as a fundraiser.

Camp Jump Start, which started in 2003, has “revolutionized” weightloss camps designed for children by using health professional-designed programs and licensed professionals teaching on site, according to the camp’s website.

Boyer has diabetes herself and also dealt with family members with the disease.

“Diabetes is just something I hate seeing kids get,” Boyer said. “I want to do everything I can to help find a cure.”

More than 34 million Americans are living with diabetes and 40 percent of people who have died from COVID-19 were diabetic, according to the American Diabetes Association.

Craft Fair Ruth Boyer, diabetes chair for Missouri Lions District 26-M2, poses at the club’s craft sale Saturday, Oct. 24, in Beaufort. Money from tables rented at the event assisted with the Missourian Photo/Geoff Folsom. club’s diabetes initiatives.

The Fussbudget

by Geoff Folsom I’m a fan of baseball stadiums, national parks, crude comedy and even historic bridges. But I’m not such a weirdo that I post on message boards about those things.

No, that honor is reserved for one thing — the music of Bruce ­ Springsteen. I started as a fan when my family briefly lived near Springsteen in New Jersey when I was a child and my fandom has intensified in the last 13 years or so, since I saw my first Bruce concert.

Since then, I’ve seen Bruce and the E Street Band nine more times in concert, in cities from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., with some of those approaching four hours. But over the last decade, Bruce has only released one record that featured the full band, 2014’s “High Hopes.”

That record included several covers and rerecorded versions of well-known songs. So I was excited to learn that Springsteen would be releasing “Letter to You,” his first album of all original songs with the E Street Band since 2009.

Even that statement gets a bit of an asterisk, since three songs, “Janey Needs a Shooter,” “If I Was the Priest” and “Song for Orphans” were written before Springsteen’s first album in 1973 but never released officially.

There’s no question the older songs are among the stronger ones

n New Boss on the album, featuring Springsteen’s early Dylanesque songwriting. Despite their being written in another time, the E Street Band brings them to life.

That also is the case on several newer songs, where the verses can be a bit clunky. The band, which recorded the album live in Springsteen’s studio over less than a week, consistently lifts the songs up in the chorus. After not hearing much of it for the past decade, it’s great to hear that “E Street Sound.”

Possibly more than on any album since 1980’s “The River,” you can hear each band member stand out, from the tickle of Roy Bittan’s piano to the wail of Jake Clemons’ saxophone.

That brings us to the theme of many of the new songs — mortality.

At 71, Bruce looks back at fallen friends and faces his own later years.

Most prominent of them is Jake’s uncle, Clarence Clemons, the legendary E Street saxophone player who died in 2011.

Racing against the clock is evident in “Last Man Standing,” which tells of Springsteen’s early days playing in American Legion and Knights of Columbus halls with his first band, The Castiles. It was written after the 2018 death of George Theiss, who had been the only other surviving member of the band.

Other songs like the rocking “Ghosts” and

the closing “I’ll See You in My Dreams,” go over similar territory. Many people on the Springsteen message board I frequent were brought to tears with the latter, with lines like “When all the summers have come to an end” and “Death is not the end.”

The album features one overtly political song, “Rainmaker.” It was reportedly written when George W. Bush was president but fits the current times well.

Then there’s “Burnin’ Train,” which is as strong as any rock song Bruce has written since “Radio Nowhere” on 2007’s “Magic,” the album that first inspired me to see Bruce live (I wish I lived here at the time because the St. Louis show on that tour was one of Bruce’s best this century).

Overall, I still prefer 2019’s “Western Stars to Letter to You.” “Western Stars,” which I put right up there with “Magic” as Springsteen’s best albums since reuniting with the E Street Band in 1999, went in a completely different direction, featuring an elaborate string section on songs about lonely characters from a Hollywood stuntman to a man chasing wild horses in Montana.

But “Letter to You” is a classic in its own right, with soaring choruses and its ability to feature the band. Springsteen fans are very lucky to have two great albums in just over a year.

Unfortunately, Bruce didn’t tour behind “Western Stars,” and, with the pandemic, now says any “Letter to You” tour won’t happen until 2022 at the earliest. While I hope to see Bruce and the E Street Band play another show (I’ll even be happy if they cut back to just three hours), it’s nice to have great music, new and old, to entertain me in the meantime.

FOOD TRUCK CONTINUED FROM 6B

has been in the past,” City Administrator Jonathan Zimmermann said during the meeting. “So it might be something you want to take a look at. That may give a you a better idea of how we should move forward.”

The Farmers’ Market food trucks have been part of an official city event. But that hasn’t always been the case with mobile vendors.

Among the issues of concern were outside food trucks lining up near events in city parks.

“One of the discussions that came up was, like, Founders Day,” Tappe said. “We have all our civic organizations making money for nonprofits to help things, only to have a food truck go sit in the pool parking lot. We wanted to kind of regulate what

was going on with certain events so it didn’t interfere with the current event that was going on. That’s kind of what led up to this.”

But the discussions expanded to include other situations, like food trucks in residential areas.

Among the rules the city is looking at is limiting the amount of time food trucks can be parked on the street.

Tappe said ice cream trucks also could have rules to follow.

“We want to make sure they’re stopping on the side of the street, not in the middle of the street,” he said.

Part of the discussion also will include revamping the licensing of food trucks and putting them all under business licenses, instead of various other licenses, Zimmermann said.

Possible regulations that planning and zoning commissioners discussed before the pandemic included prohibiting food trucks that aren’t part of the event from operating within 1,000 feet of city parks while certain events like the Fourth of July celebration at Veterans Memorial Park and Founders Day. Also discussed was a proposed restriction on food trucks being located on gravel surfaces, with the reasoning that businesses are required to have paved parking lots, so food trucks should too.

Fire and health inspection regulations also are being considered.

The board of aldermen would need to approve any recommendations from the planning and zoning commission.

City Works on Soccer Parking

By Geoff Folsom

folsomg@emissourian.com

Union officials are working to clear up issues involving parking and sidewalks at Veterans Memorial Park.

Parks Director Chad Pohlmann said some families of youth soccer players were parking on sidewalks. But after talking about it with the Union Soccer Association, the situation seems to be improving.

People are allowed to park in certain areas where the side of the park roadway is lined with rock. But some were parking illegally on other streets. Pohlmann said it is illegal to park on the grass, which some were doing to avoid walking from the parking lots.

“We have plenty of parking, we don’t have a parking issue out there,” he said at a September

park advisory board meeting. “We have a walking issue. People don’t want to walk from the parking space to the field. There is plenty of parking at Veterans Memorial Park.”

Pohlmann said the park lacks clear signage identifying what is a walking path, bike path, pathway to a field or sidewalk and that has led to other issues, especially on the pathway between soccer fields.

“There were individuals that were riding bikes in an area

that people were sitting and walking,” he said.

“There was a confrontation between two individuals, one thinking that children should not be riding bikes in that area.”

Part of the confusion comes because some paths that connect from parking lots also are used for walking or other activities. “Which is one of the great things about that park, you may have to walk a little bit more than you want to, but that park is interconnected,” Pohlmann said.

UPGRADE CONTINUED FROM 6B

It remains to be seen whether the district will need another bond election to pay for the improvements at the two schools, he said.

HTK also will evaluate Union R-XI’s current facilities, which was last done before the last bond election in 2018.

In April 2018, district voters overwhelmingly passed Proposition Wildcat, a $27 million no-tax increase bond issue, with 2,318 to 849 against. It funded what’s now the $18.4 million Prairie Dell Elementary School near

East Central College, as well as upgrades elsewhere in the district.

In September, Franzen and Matt Patterson of HTK and Cory Bextermueller and Jen Kissinger of Navigate Building Solutions gave the last update to the board on the Prop Wildcat projects, announcing the construction projects were complete. They also included improvements to Beaufort Elementary School ($4.2 million), a sixth-grade wing addition at Union Middle ($2.9 million) and a new maintenance facility ($2 million).

Sullivan Bank Plans to Open St. Clair Branch Around New Year

By Geoff Folsom

folsomg@emissourian.com

Sullivan Bank’s new St. Clair location is closing in on completion.

The 6,100-square-foot building at the corner of N. Main Street and Commercial Avenue is expected to be complete in mid-December, with an opening around the first of the year, said Mike Hoffman, bank president and chief executive officer.

The location, which will be Sullivan Bank’s ninth, is going through the process of its application with the FDIC and state regulators.

The project has been a challenge because the bank had to buy four parcels of land from three property owners, Hoffman said. But once the building was able to get off the ground, the project has run smoothly.

Sullivan Bank was founded in 1895 and now

has branches in Sullivan, Cuba, Union, Labadie, Pleasant Hope, Sunrise Beach and Springfield.

Hoffman said St. Clair helps the bank expand along the Interstate 44 corridor.

“I think we’re just excited about expanding our footprint in the Franklin County area,” Hoffman said. “We’re excited about being part of the community, partnering in civic activities and giving the citizens of St. Clair another choice.”

Though this is Sullivan Bank’s first St. Clair location, Hoffman said many employees have roots in the community. Hoffman’s family is from the area, and he is a St. Clair High School graduate.

Jerry West and Melinda Piatt, who will be in charge of the St. Clair branch, live in St. Clair now and will move to the new branch.

“We’re excited about

it,” Hoffman said. “We have a lot of ties to the town.”

The facility will have a community room that can be utilized by all bank customers and employees. The lobby space will be framed by clerestory windows to allow natural light to flow into the space.

Sullivan Bank recently changed its name, website

and logo. It was formerly called Bank of Sullivan.

The bank also will feature an ATM, drive-up capabilities and a traditional teller line to accommodate the local market.

Sullivan Bank is part of a bank building boom in St. Clair. It will be located across Main Street from the recently opened Farmers and Merchants Bank headquarters.

“This is her passion. ... You can see it in her performances, and you can see it in her relationship with them.”

It’s no stretch to say riding horses is in Redeker’s blood. Her dad, Jeff Redeker, grew up around horses and lived in Texas for a time. He has worked on ranches and ridden bulls and horses. These days, he’s a farrier, trimming and shoeing horses’ hooves.

Redeker’s mother, Hope, had no animals while growing up but always longed to have a horse.

Ultimately, she got a job as a veterinarian technician in an equine hospital in Glencoe. It was there that Hope and Jeff met.

“My mom thought, ‘That’s a cowboy!’ and my dad was like, ‘That’s the most beautiful woman in the world.’ So they dated and got married,” Redeker says. “And, of course, they had to have horses.”

Redeker grew up on seven acres in what she describes as “the middle of busy Wildwood, with a Starbucks right down the road and big fancy subdivisions all around us.”

She played in the hayloft of the barn and had a pony named Snickers. “Every little girl’s dream,” she said. “I drug him all around the neighborhood and decorated him — miserable for the pony, fantastic for me.”

Her parents had quarter horses and Arabians, which she relied on for trail rides.

They also had Percherons, a breed of draft horse, which Redeker’s mother raised and showed at competitions. As a little girl, Redeker sat on the Percherons for fun, but in her early teens, she began to wonder, “Why aren’t we riding these things?”

She soon took it upon herself to give riding them a try. The problem was her parents didn’t Michaela Redeker finishes harnessing Hef and Jordy, her two draft horses, before taking own saddles big enough for the noble beasts, them out for practice Wednesday, Oct. 21. so Redeker had to ride them bareback, and the

the horses, circling the arena and carrying the American flag.

“It was absolutely glorious,” said Andrea Eubanks of Warrior, Ala., who, with her husband, Dallas, helps run the Georgia draft horse show.

Eubanks said there are others across the country doing Roman riding like Redeker, but more often the performers are men, she said. “Then there’s this pretty, young girl (Redeker) who’s clearly not afraid of anything. ... She’s kind of the cowgirl I always wanted to be.”

Over the years, Redeker has performed Roman riding in multiple parts of the country, as well as in Canada. Her first public performance of Roman riding was at the Mid-Missouri Horse, Mule & Ox Farming & Historical Craft Days in 2014. In recent years she has performed at the 2018 World Clydesdale Show, held in Madison, Wis., that year; the 2018 World Percheron Congress, hosted in Des Moines, Iowa; and the Breeds Barn Show at Kentucky Horse Park, in Lexington, among many other events. She also often appears at rodeos. The size of the prize purse can range from $100 to $15,000 depending on the show.

Following in her mother’s footsteps, Redeker also has participated in countless competitive draft horse shows — often at state fairs — and After putting Jordy back in his pen, Michaela Redeker turns to look for Hef, her other draft over the last decade has taken top honors in a horse, that was romping around outside Wednesday, Oct. 21 near Catawissa. variety of classes, such as bareback, ladies’ cart, halter and log skid, which involves a draft horse weaving through a course while dragging a log.

Redeker also is the ambassador for the Missouri Draft Horse & Mule Association. In that role, she interacts with spectators after performances or shows, answering questions and letting it be known that draft horses can be more than just burly work horses plowing fields or pulling wagons.

Taking a Second Path It’s hard to imagine that Redeker would have time these days for anything other than horses, but she also is enrolled in welding school at the Four Rivers Career Academy, through East Central College.

Redeker has no plans to abandon the equestrian world, but a couple years ago she began contemplating her financial security and need for a retirement plan. Redeker also knew that performing on draft horses could eventually take its toll. “My body will not be able to do this when I’m getting older,” she said.

Since Redeker couldn’t imagine herself stuck inside all day, working an office job, her mom suggested she give welding school. “I was hooked,” Redeker says. “It’s something I could see Michaela Redeker unhook’s Hef’s harness. Redeker led her myself doing for the rest of my life.” She other draft horse, Jordy, back into the barn, but let Hef run free will graduate from the for a minute. two-year program in the spring.

Her hope is to get a job working on an oil pipeline in South Dakota or Texas. The work is hard, but the money is good, Redeker says, and a pipeline job would allow her to work six months out of the year, then return home to her horses for the remainder of the year.

“My goal is to work on the pipeline for at least three years and make as much money as I can, then either come home or settle down somewhere else and get an easy welding job, maybe in a shop, and then have more time for the horses.”

New Haven Library Reopens Scenic Regional Library reopened its New Haven branch Tuesday, Nov. 3, at 9 a.m.

The branch closed Oct. 28, due to staff illnesses.

Scenic Regional Library Director Steven Campbell said the closure was not due to a COVID-19 quarantine or positive test.

“The library has multiple staff members at the branch who are sick, and the library does not want employees at work with cold or flu symptoms due to COVID-19 precautions,” Campbell said last week in a press release.

He added normally the library would send staff from other locations or administration to provide coverage, but due to other COVID-19 quarantines and illnesses around the system, Scenic Regional was unable to provide such coverage to its New Haven branch.

There will be four drop-off categories: men’s, women’s, girl’s and boy’s. Volunteers will be out to guide traffic and identify the correct drop-off boxes.

There will be no sorting day as all items will be bagged and completed

that day to donate to our local agencies. All coats and items donated in Franklin County stay in Franklin County. For more information, contact Gretchen Farrell and The Presbyterian Church of Washington at 636-239-3178.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be ... Well, there were stages and a long list. Three that come to mind are Spiderman, James T. Kirk and mostly a police officer.

What would you rather be doing right now? Career-wise, a full-time law enforcement chaplain. Personally, guilt-free time with a great book, coffee and my wife.

Shhhhh! Don’t tell anyone that ... I’m gonna be 50 this year!

I keep checking the math because it just does not seem right!

Other than your wedding day and/or the birth of your children, what was your proudest moment? When my oldest two children accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior.

It really stinks when ... You get behind the “gut truck” at Williams Brothers on Eighth Street on a hot summer day! No offense to Williams Brothers. I appreciate those guys.

What word in the dictionary would your face be next to?

My wife would say tenacious. My kids would say whatever word best describes bad dad jokes.

I always laugh when ... I get to observe other drivers seeing the “gut truck” hoisting the cans and emptying them!

Invite any three people, living or dead, to dinner. Who are they? What would you serve? Washington, Franklin, Jefferson. Hooked on the founders of this great country! I would serve whatever my wife prepared, coffee and whatever ale they preferred.

At the end of a really long day at work, I like to ... Hug my wife, see my kids, take off my boots and feel the freedom of exchanging the uniform for comfy clothes.

People who knew me in high school thought I was ... A nice guy. I didn’t think I was. I was pretty narrowly focused, but thankfully “nice” is what I usually get. I have had to thank some teachers and apologize to others.

My most unforgettable brush with greatness was ... An unforgettable brush was being at St. Luke’s Hospital, staying with my wife after the birth of one of our children, walking down the hall with my head down, looking up at the sound of heavy footsteps and suddenly realizing Orlando Pace just passed me. Sure enough, there was a Pace baby and a few Rams players visiting.

I would drop all my plans tonight if I had the chance to ...

Help someone.

If someone gave me a million dollars, there is still no way I would ... Renounce my beliefs, harm my family, not retire.

America should be more concerned about ... Who is running our national media and rewriting history.

I’m OK if there’s ever a national shortage of ... So-called journalists and late night comedy hosts.

When I’m in a bookstore, I al-

ways go to this section first ...

Religion or history.

What is the most useful piece of advice you have ever received? Top three: Look a person in the eye and shake their hand firmly. Tell the truth, but don’t always be telling it. Don’t go down a road you can’t get back up.

When I’m cruising down the road, I’m likely listening to ...

The thoughts I’m thinking, the prayers I’m praying, Christian music, country music or classic rock.

I always get sentimental when ... I look at pictures of my kids.

The older I get, the more I realize ... You really need two lives to get one right.

If I had one “do-over” I would ... Be more patient in my younger years.

My favorite item of clothing is ... Keen sandals. If they are on, the weather is good, and I’m not working.

If I’ve learned anything at all ... Many people do not understand the concept of maintaining your lane (which in most cases is the left lane) when turning from an intersection so oncoming, right-turning traffic can utilize the right lane.

What do you wish Washington or Franklin County had to offer ... Dotted lines through the intersection and signs explaining how to maintain your lane.

Who is your personal hero or mentor ... Mentor-wise, I have had some who are spiritual mentors, life mentors and work mentors. As a young driver I was able to ride with and witness caring service, demonstrated by some of our older drivers. Herowise, these “covidular” times have really watered down the word “hero.” I remember hearing, “you’re a hero for going to work” and “you’re a hero for staying home.” If everybody is, then nobody is. As a chaplain, I have witnessed our deputies and police officers skillfully racing across our county, working accidents, saving a life and clearing houses for alarms or scared citizens. They are fallible and humble, and they would argue they aren’t heroes.

A historical figure I’d like to meet is: George Washington.

In my opinion there is no more beautiful place on Earth than ...The front porch of my grandparents’ home, sitting there with my grandpa, discussing the world on a crisp morning with a hot cup of coffee, the sounds of his gruff but thoughtful voice, birds and the gently rushing creek.

I’ll watch the movie anytime it is on television ... “Braveheart.”

What’s your superpower? Encouragement.

If you could know the absolute and total truth to one question, what question would you ask? How do I get the absolute and total truth to as many questions as I have?

Harry W. Strothkamp Sr. Harry William Strothkamp Sr., 89, Pacific, died peacefully at home, Monday, Oct. 19, 2020, with his family at his bedside.

Harry leaves his loving wife of 65 years, Marie A. “Toni” (Graulich); daughter, Jean Marie (Kevin) Curry; and sons, Dennis (Sheila), Douglas (Pam), Bill (Debbie), Brian (Karen) and Mark (Meg) Strothkamp; 16 grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; and siblings, Ruth Strothkamp, Shirley (Bill) Wyatt, Carol (Don) Betz and Bob (Fran) Strothkamp.

He was preceded in death by his precious son, Ricky; parents, Harry L. and Florence; sisters, Betty and Delores (Brommelsick); and brothers, Jerry and William.

Harry was born and raised in Manchester, the eldest son of Harry L. and Florence (Hellman) Strothkamp. He attended Eureka High School, and was a sports athlete in baseball and basketball. Harry was a veteran of the Korean War, and frequently rattled off Japanese slang to anyone who would listen. Harry married the love of his life, “Toni,” in Creve Coeur, Nov. 12, 1955. In March 1956, Harry and his brother, Bob, opened Strothkamp Brothers Paint & Decorating Store in Manchester, a well-known family business, working until he retired in his mid 80s.

He loved playing sports, coaching his children and rooting for the Cardinals. He moved his family to the Pacific farm in the early '60s. He was a devout Catholic and became an active member of St. Bridget of Kildare, Pacific.

Harry and Toni were instrumental in bringing soccer to Pacific, spending tireless weekends cutting and lining the fields so his boys could play “the game.” As an avid golfer, he participated in many tournaments and was known to have a “wicked drive,” and formed the annual St. Bridget's Golf Tournament. Harry and Toni chose to spend every Thanksgiving delivering meals to those in need. He was a member of the American Legion, Knights of Columbus and a volunteer fireman. He continued to think of others in death, donating his body to science for education and research.

A Catholic memorial Mass to celebrate Harry's life will be held Friday, Nov. 13, at 11:30 a.m. at St. Bridget of Kildare, Pacific.

Memorial gifts are suggested to the St. Bridget of Kildare Pacific Annual Golf Tournament.

EDITORIALS & COMMENTARY

Time for Healing

his is one of those elecT tions where many Americans are not overjoyed about

either presidential candidate.

At least that’s what we’ve heard from a number of our readers.

It wouldn’t be the first time voters faced this dilemma.

In past elections, many of us have voted for the “lesser of two evils” or the one we felt would do the least harm.

More often, we reflexively vote for the candidate of the political party we prefer or for the person we feel would be better on a matter that is important to us — like the economy.

To be sure, there are passionate supporters for both President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden. The massive Trump parade in Washington on Sunday is an indication of the enthusiastic fans the president has in this area. But there are others who will vote for him simply because they agree with him on a single issue like abortion. The same holds true for Biden.

But perhaps the biggest difference this year from prior elections is that the electorate is angrier and more on edge. There is a real sense of dread permeating this election. There is fear and uneasiness that widespread civil unrest and violence are going to accompany this election.

Federal authorities are building a “non-scalable” fence around the White House. Store windows are being boarded up. Some governors have activated National Guard members for duty ahead of Tuesday’s election, signaling concerns that unrest may ignite during the most divisive presidential race in recent history, according to The Washington Post.

Regardless, one candidate will prevail in this election.

It may take some time and maybe even the courts to sort out, but we will elect a president. And that president will be the leader of a deeply divided nation — a country where political divisions, polarization and tribalism are tearing us apart.

Brookings Institute Scholar Darrell M. West described it this way, “The U.S. is

caught in a partisan hyperconflict that divides politicians, communities — and even families. Politicians from the president to state and local officeholders play to strongly held beliefs and sometimes even pour fuel on the resulting inferno. This polarization has become so intense that many people no longer trust anyone from a differing perspective.”

Sound familiar? Hit close to home? We’ve taken to treating those who disagree with our political views as our enemy. It wasn’t always this way.

There was a time when we considered ourselves Americans first and partisans second. There was a time when we wanted our president to succeed even if we didn’t vote for him. We need to rediscover those principles.

Regardless who wins, given the amount of unrest and unease in the country right now, the first order of business for the new president should be figuring out how to bring the country together. We need a “healer in chief” to bridge the division. We need a president to rally all Americans, not just those of his party.

Healing is possible but only if everyone does their part. If we want something better for our democracy, we all have to be willing to try a course correction.

One way we can start is by turning down the polarizing rhetoric, hyperbole and generalizations that too often characterize our conversations about politics and our country. Language is often the culprit in distrust. We can all do a better job of listening to our neighbors who hold different views rather than condemning them as un-American.

We also can focus on lifting our shared values. Despite our divisions, most want the same things from our democracy. We would do well to remember that in the days after this election. Our country is still the envy and model of nations around the world.

We have work to do after this election. We are all Americans whether our candidate wins or loses. Let’s be proud of that and work to improve our democracy in constructive ways.

Superior Service

ince this was written beS fore Tuesday, we can’t comment definitively on how

our local election authorities performed on Election Day. Missouri election officials are predicting the state’s largest voter turnout in decades, according to the Associated Press, so election officials will be tested.

But we can pay a compliment to Franklin County Clerk Tim Baker and his team for the professional way they processed a record number of absentee ballots.

Baker is the chief election authority for the county and its political subdivisions, and is responsible for conducting all public elections held in the county.

Lines were long at the clerk’s office leading up to Tuesday and from what we’ve seen and heard, Baker’s staff did a yeoman’s job of processing those ballots and assisting voters.

If you voted absentee, you likely saw Baker in the lobby of the clerk’s office directing traffic, answering questions and assisting his staff in the voting process. He was front and center, leading his staff to ensure that everyone had an opportunity to participate in this election.

This year that included voters with physical disabilities or the elderly who were unable to enter the clerk’s office without assistance, and even those who were quarantined because of the coronavirus. Baker accomplished this by way of curbside voting — something that hadn’t been utilized in Franklin County before.

Not every election authority was able to offer curbside voting service this year.

Curbside voting is labor intensive. But Baker saw a need and pursued a grant to hire additional staff to process ballots from a designated parking spot outside the county government center to his office.

Curbside voting was popular. Baker said when he started the service in late September, his office was processing about 15 cars a day. On Monday, more than 125 voters took advantage of curbside voting, according to Baker.

We applaud Baker and his staff for going above and beyond in the weeks leading up to Tuesday’s election. We appreciate his foresight in making curbside voting available during a pandemic and for making it easier for everyone to cast a ballot.

Publisher’s Notebook

By Patricia Miller

Peyton’s Story The pending election offered up a lot of topics as I pondered my column over the weekend. Predictions of record voter turnout, reports of election stress disorder and preparations for post-election unrest and violence all seemed worthy themes.

The uncertainty surrounding a second round of federal stimulus and the increasing financial stress felt by small-business owners offer many talking points.

Community stories about companies adding shifts or developers launching new projects are always good column ideas.

But all of that had to be set aside this week with the

news of the death of 13-yearold Peyton Baumgarth, an eighth-grader at Washington Middle School, who died of complications from COVID-19 on Oct. 31.

As many have reported, Peyton is the youngest person to die from coronavirus complications in the state of Missouri. His young age and the suddenness of his death made for headlines across the country and the world.

Closer to home, there’s been an outpouring of support online and in the community for Peyton’s family, which is heartening. We join the many who offer their prayers for Peyton and his family, including his mother,

who is recovering from the virus. Her grief is unimaginable.

Peyton’s story makes the ever-increasing COVID numbers personal. It gives everyone, especially every parent, pause.

It’s a pause we must take as a community and join with Peyton’s family and friends in remembering Peyton’s smile, his sense of humor, kindness, and love of video games and Halloween.

There will always be time to cover the political and economic stories of the day and the ongoing impact of the coronavirus.

But on this day, Peyton Baumgarth’s story is the one to tell.

The Choice: 2020

By Cal Thomas

Every four years this columnist writes about the stark choice between the candidates for president (and vice president) and their views on how the country should be run.

Every election is declared “the most important in history.” This year it might prove true.

Were it not for the invasion of the COVID-19 virus, Donald Trump would likely be on his way to a national sweep with probable gains in the Senate and House. It is the virus, along with his personality, that rubs people the wrong way. These have made the race close. In the latest YouGov poll, former Vice President Joe Biden leads Donald Trump in the popular vote 53.2 percent to 44.3 percent. Trump supporters, however, are betting on a substantial “silent” vote to put him over the top.

On the issues, President Trump is win-

ning. Joe Biden has promised to reverse his gains and that’s why the contrast between the two tickets could not be more stark.

For voters serious about the future of the country, the following issues should be paramount.

COVID-19. President Trump is doing everything possible to balance eliminating the virus while maintaining the economic health of the nation. Joe Biden offers bromides and promises actions the president has already taken.

Economy. Last week’s 33.1 percent GDP growth announcement proves Trump is on the right track. Household spending and income rose in September, reported the Commerce Department. Unemployment is falling.

Taxes. Biden promises to eliminate the Trump tax cuts, stifling economic growth.

Can a Disintegrating America Come Together?

By Pat Buchanan

On the last days of the 2020 campaign, President Donald Trump was holding four and five rallies a day in battleground states, drawing thousands upon thousands of loyalists to every one.

Waiting for hours, sometimes in the cold, to cheer their champion on, these rallygoers love Trump as few presidents have been loved.

This writer cannot recall a president and campaign that brought out so many and such massive crowds of admirers in its closing days.

And who are these cheering, chanting loyalists who have brought their children out with them to see and remember “the great Trump” ­— in the eyes of our dispossessed elites?

They are people who belong in a “basket of deplorables,” sneered Hillary Clinton: “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic” bigots, and a subspecies of humanity that is “irredeemable.”

Today’s election is an us-

versus-them choice unlike any other, for the issues in dispute are broader and deeper than ever before.

And those issues raise questions: No matter who wins, can this nation come together again? And if it cannot — a real possibility — what form will America take as it disintegrates?

Even as voters were mailing in ballots in the millions, stores in our great cities were being boarded up against rioters, looters and arsonists.

Suburban residents, fearful that the urban mobs may one day be coming for them, were stockpiling guns and ammunition.

How divided are we?

The New York Times “Sunday Review” devoted its entire section to Donald Trump, as seen from the eyes of its columnists. On the cover page of the Review ran the headline, “All 15 of our columnists explain what the past four years have cost America, and what’s at stake in this election.”

Each of the 15 trashed Trump from his or her perspective.

Since World War II, America has held elections where the country seemed at sword’s point. Not all were like 1960, where scholar Arthur Schlesinger Jr., felt compelled to write the book, “Kennedy or Nixon: Does It Make Any Difference?”

Schlesinger felt he had to explain that despite the similarity of the candidates, both in their 40s, it made a difference who was elected.

Yet, even after the most divisive elections of the postwar era — 1952 and 1968 — the country pulled back together. President Dwight Eisenhower, from 1952 to 1956, and Richard Nixon, from 1968 to 1972, restored unity to the nation during their first terms by ending the Asian wars into which their predecessors had taken the nation.

OPINIONS & LETTERS Falling Back in the Fall

By John Richard Schrock

Don’t blame Benjamin Franklin, but he was among the first to value what we today know as daylight saving time (DST).

He was 78 years old and serving in 1784 in Paris as the U.S. ambassador. The room attendant closed the blinds at night, but failed to do so. Franklin woke up to the sun brightly lighting his room. He checked his clock and it was only 6 o’clock in the morning.

Everybody was generally asleep for another several hours. And that got him thinking about all of the wasted daylight time.

If the French arose with the sun, they could complete their work and return home to finish the day earlier. That meant that they also would go to bed earlier, and that saved candle-power. And candles were not free.

Ben calculated the number of households in France and the number of nights between March 20 and Sept. 20. The annual cost of the wax and tallow per hour saved was equivalent to $200 million today! Probably an overestimate, but significant.

This history is part of the research David Prerau compiles in “Seize the Daylight: The Curious and Contentions Story of Daylight Saving Time.”

However, action would not be taken until a hardworking housebuilder named William Willett managed to get members of the British Parliament to introduce his DST bill in 1908. Despite support from a young Churchill who promoted an extra yawn in the morning and an extra snooze at night, Willett failed for several

years to get daylight saving time adopted.

World War I changed the dynamic. Sleeping through the early morning hours and requiring energy to fuel lights after dark not only constrained working hours but also wasted fuel to generate nighttime lighting. Germany’s Kaiser Wilhelm II used his emergency powers to command daylight saving time as a wartime measure with penalties for any business that tried to reschedule out of it. Britain saw the savings, stopped bickering and adopted the DST by a vote of 170 to 2.

War was also the impetus for America adopting DST. Most farmers objected because their animals would ignore the change.

The railroad did not want to reset 1,698,818 clocks and watches that kept the trains running on time.

But it was calculated that DST would provide 910 million hours for home gardening annually, vegetables that would substitute at home for meat needed to feed a million soldiers for six months.

War is a powerful argument and daylight saving was adopted in the U.S. March 15, 1918. But the large farm lobby got DST repealed even before WWI ended.

A few states kept DST as a local option through the Depression. But World War II brought back DST, again to save energy.

However, the proportion of the farm population has dramatically shrunk today. And meanwhile, other businesses were finding great benefits from the extra daylight.

The golf industry saw increases of $200 million an-

nually. The barbecue grill industry claimed an extra $100 million in annual equipment and charcoal sales. The candy industry got President George W. Bush to extend the duration by four more weeks to include Halloween.

Meanwhile, psychiatrists argued on either side. Some point out that our natural circadian rhythms are set while others believed the extra hours of sunlight helped fight Seasonal Affective Disorders (SAD). More activity during sunlight might reduce car accidents or cut crime. We produce more Vitamin D when we are exposed to more sunlight. But others just don’t like having to change the clock twice a year.

And times change. The cost of nighttime lighting is now reduced with the use of LEDs. But with a warming climate, being active during more of the daytime may increase air conditioning usage which is a greater energy hog.

So far, over 30 states have legislation pending to make DST permanent.

Eight states have halted any springing forward, thus keeping that hour of sleep in spring. Changing DST is not a national priority. And the issue is complicated.

It is a problem for the states in the mid-latitudes. If you live in Hawaii nearer the equator, the changes in light-dark are minor throughout the year. But at the poles, there can be months of continuous nighttime and then daylight. And then DST is no solution.

It is a problem you might need to sleep on ... for one extra hour now.

Looking Back

• Continued From Page 6C

The government takes in record amounts of money. Overspending is the problem.

Immigration. The president’s wall is working, according to his administration, which claims that the 15 miles of new wall construction under Trump, has slowed the flow of undocumented people crossing the Southern border. Biden and Harris essentially favor open borders and citizenship for 11 million already here. This would send a “y’all come” signal and transform the country in ways most citizens do not want.

Would Biden also tear down the wall?

Courts are being transformed into what the Founders intended. Judges appointed by Trump are no longer making law, but upholding the Constitution. Biden would reverse course and put judges on the federal bench who interpret the Constitution the way they see fit.

Liberties, including religious liberty, would be diminished by a Biden-Harris administration. Many on the left think worship should be confined to a building for one hour on Sunday mornings. They would likely curtail the right of especially conservative Christians to apply their faith outside those buildings. Trump has championed religious liberty.

On social issues, like abortion and the right of law-abiding people to own guns, the Trump administration has been a vocal defender of the unborn and of the necessity for people to own weapons to defend themselves against criminals, including raging mobs in our streets. Biden and

States together.

The difference today?

Americans are not divided over war. One of Trump’s successes has been to keep us out of new wars, even if he has not yet extracted us from the wars he inherited.

Today, we are divided over ideology, morality, culture, race and history. We are divided over whether America is the great nation we were raised to revere and love or a nation born in great sins and crimes — such as the near annihilation of indigenous peoples and their cultures and the enslavement of hundreds of thousands of Black peoples from Africa.

Are we the nation of 1776 and 1789, or the nation of 1619, whose institutions are still infected with the “systemic racism” of our birth?

In this divided country, at times, Americans seem to detest each other.

Indeed, if the United States did not exist as one nation, would this diverse people ever agree to form a compact to come together, or would we seek to retain our separate identities?

In tearing down the statues of explorers such as Christopher Columbus or the Founding Fathers and their successor presidents, from Andrew Jackson to Abraham Lincoln to Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, the contempt for the country these men helped to bring into being, and for what this country stands for today, is manifest.

A significant slice of America’s young believes that the nation to

Harris give only tepid opposition to the violence, while supporting “protests.” On many streets there seems little difference.

Adding states. Biden and Harris, along with a likely compliant Democratic Congress, would almost certainly add Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, ensuring a Democrat congressional majority. This would effectively end the two-party system and irretrievably injure the nation as there would be nothing to check the Democrats’ power and the corruption one-party rule often brings.

Foreign policy. President Trump is ending wars and not starting new ones, requiring our allies to take responsibility for their own defense.

He also has brokered deals between three Middle East countries and Israel and moved the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem. Saudi Arabia is likely to come on board should Trump win reelection, isolating Iran. Biden’s foreign policy record is dismal.

Then there’s the issue of Biden’s mental state and whether ultra-liberal Kamala Harris would soon succeed him. A vote for him might turn out to be a vote for her.

If the choice is between personality and policies, the advantage goes to Trump and Mike Pence. They deserve four more years, considering the stark contrast with the policies of Biden-Harris-Sanders and AOC, the last two being the real powers that would be behind the “throne.”

which they belong was detestable from its birth, and that the Western civilization from which it sprang is not worth saving.

In his farewell address, President Ronald Reagan spoke of the America where he was raised and which he cherished: “The hope of human freedom — the quest for it, the achievement of it — is the American saga. And I’ve often recalled one group of early settlers making a

treacherous crossing of the Atlantic on a small ship when their leader, a minister, noted that perhaps their venture would fail and they would become a byword, a footnote to history.

But perhaps, too, with God’s help, they might also found a new world, a city upon a hill, a light unto the nations.”

How many Americans still believe what Reagan believed? How many yet see America as “a city upon a hill, a light unto the nations”?
