Missouri AG helps Jackson man with customer complaint BY JEFF LONG

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN Darrel Adams of Jackson said he took his 2000 Ford Ranger XLT into a local au≠ tomotive shop recently. ì My truck was running really rough,î he said. Adams had a vehicle service contract (VSC) for over a year with a compa≠ ny called CarShield, whom he said ì absolutely refused to payî for repairs. Some consumers buy motor vehicle extended service contracts on cars whose factory warranties have expired. ì I paid the bill, but I con≠ tacted the Missouri Attor≠ ney General Eric Schmittí s office and they got my (CarShield premium) back and it was almost enough to cover my out≠ of≠ pocket expense,î Adams said. Chris Nuelle, spokesman for Schmitt, noted the Ad≠ ams refund and credited the AGí s Consumer Pro≠ tection Section. ì Already in 2021, the CPS has recovered $9,863,929.45 in restitution for Missouri citizens,î Nu≠ elle said, adding the attor≠ ney generalí s office Æ elds complaints from thou≠ sands of Show Me State consumers every year. Charles Cole of Cape Gi≠ rardeau said he had a simi≠ lar experience with CarSh≠ ield, part of American Auto Shield of Lakewood, Colo≠ rado, when he discovered trouble with his vehicle.

City council, mayor positions on the line BY MONICA OBRADOVIC

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN

Filing for mayor and City Council seats opened Tues≠ day and already 15 candi≠ dates have Æ led or picked up petitions to run for City Council or mayor of Cape Girardeau. Cape Girardeau City Clerk Gayle Conrad has worked in the city clerkí s office for 29 years. She said she hasní t seen this much interest in city offices for close to 15 years. ì This is by far the most Ií ve seen in quite some time,î Conrad said. As of Wednesday after≠ noon, two candidates in≠ tend to run against Mayor Bob Fox. Voters elected Fox in 2018 after an uncon≠ tested race. If Foxí s challengers, Stacy Kinder and Ramo≠ na Bailey, formally Æ le, a three≠ way primary will be held in February for mayor of Cape Girardeau for the Æ rst time in more than a decade. In 2010, for≠ mer Mayor Harry Rediger, Matt Hopkins and Walter White sought election after then≠ Mayor Jay Knudtson reached his term limits. To become an official mayor or city council can≠ didate, a person of at least 21 years of age must meet certain residency require≠ ments and gather at least 50 signatures from regis≠

tered voters on a petition in their ward. Petitions must then be Æ led with the Office of the City Clerk by 5 p.m. Nov. 23. Fox is the only may≠ oral candidate to Æ le a nominating petition as of Wednesday afternoon. Seven candidates intend to run for Ward 2 and three intend to run in Ward 6. Two candidates, Deborah Young and incumbent Dan Presson, have Æ led peti≠ tions for Ward 1. Current Ward 2 repre≠ sentative Shelly Moore is ineligible to run again be≠ cause of term limits set by the cityí s charter. In Ward 6, Stacy Kinder will not be eligible to seek reelection because of her bid for mayor. Seats for Wards 3, 4 and 5 will not be eligible for elec≠ tion until the April gener≠ al election in 2024. Conrad said she had no speculation on what couldí ve led so many peo≠ ple to Æ le and pick up pe≠ titions for the election in April 2022. ì Ií m just glad there are people interested in the future of our city,î Con≠ rad said. ì In my opinion, local government is where a person can get involved.

Yule Log Cabin says live trees likely more expensive this Christmas

Candidates for Ward 1

BY JEFF LONG

Other options

Prices seem to go up in ev≠ ery industry and in this year of supply≠ chain problems and increasing inØ ation, the Christmas tree business ap≠ parently is not immune to cost spikes. In a mailing this month to customers of Yule Log Cab≠ in in Scott County, owners Joannie and Jerry Smith said to expect markedly higher live≠ tree prices because of a chain of events going all the way back to the market crash of 13 years ago. ì The 2008 crash caused a glut of Christmas trees as buyers cut back on excess spending (and) that caused fewer trees to be planted in the following years,î the Smiths explain in their mailer. ì Many family farms decid≠ ed not to continue and that has compounded the problem that we see today. Wholesale tree prices are up about 20% and shipping costs have gone up 50%. This has forced us

The artiÆ cial≠ tree trade has been especially hit hard by supply line snares, ac≠ cording to the American Christmas Tree Associa≠ tion. About 85% of plastic trees bought in the U.S. are im≠ ported from China. This Christmas season, prices for non≠ live trees are expected to be up 20% to 30%, the ACTA reported. ì Delays are affecting ev≠ ery step from manufacturer to consumer. Ití s difficult right now to secure shipping containers overseas and passage on ocean freights,î said Michael Shaughnessy, senior vice president of op≠ erations for Balsam Hill, a major seller of high≠ end ar≠ tiÆ cial Christmas trees and decor. Shipments also face con≠ gestion at U.S. ports and trucking companies con≠ tinue to struggle to attract drivers to transport the trees to market within this country, he added.

Jehovah’s Witness volunteers from a 200mile radius journeyed to Scott City over the weekend to begin and end construction of a Kingdom Hall at 215 Chester St.; those with construction experience do the building, while others provide support for them. The Trail of Tears State Park near Fruitland is adding more of what it’s named for: trails; for the first time in possibly 20 years park officials are opening three new paths, through some of the scenic areas of the 3,000-acre park.

every foot of the trials run, a blue tick hound owned by Howard Shaner of near Jackson took honors in both the line and treed ratings for the dogs under 5 years of age. Final payment of $25,253.94 for the tract of land between west Broadway and Independence Street, site of the proposed new high school building, is approved by the Board of Education; payment of notes for lots in the Hahs tract comes slightly less than two years before they would have matured at 4% interest.

A faltering financial situation has forced Cape Grocers Association Inc. to liquidate its warehouse at 1901 Independence St.; the association was incorporated in 1927, and the warehouse was constructed in 1952; the association was a non-profit supply house for grocers in the Cape Girardeau area. Cape Girardeau Municipal Airport Board recommended Lewis Rogers Construction Co. of Dexter, Missouri, as contractor for the proposed maintenance and office building at the airport during a luncheon meeting with the City Council yesterday; but discussion bogged down on the question of financing the structure; the new building will replace the main hangar at the airport destroyed by fire in July.

TODAY’S PRAYER

God, may we always thank you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

OUR OPINION

Why Cape, Jackson and Scott City need your support on use tax On Tuesday, voters in Cape Girardeau, Jackson and Scott City will be asked to vote on an important issue that will impact local municipal services in years to come. The use tax, sometimes referred to as an internet sales tax, is on the ballot. In short, it allows the collec≠ tion of an equivalent sales tax on items purchased from out≠ of≠ state and online retailers. With the shift in con≠ sumer spending to online shopping, habits exacerbated by the COVID≠ 19 pandemic, this issue is more critical now than ever. In recent weeks supporters of the use tax, namely city and business leaders, have made the case as to why the tax is needed and what it actually means. Several let≠ ters to the editor and guest columns have appeared on this page regarding the issue, but a few key points bear repeating: If you purchase an item at a local retailer, you will not be charged a use tax. Only the sales tax will prevail. You will never be charged both a sales tax and a use tax. If you purchase an item from an out≠ of≠ state or on≠ line retailer, the use tax will be charged at the same rate as the local sales tax had the purchase been made at a local retailer. There are a couple key reasons why voters should support the use tax: 1. The impact on local retail. Earlier campaigns for the use tax talked about this being an issue of fairness. We believe this is true, but it goes further than surface level. Cape Girardeau city manager Kenneth Haskin has said the city not having a use tax is preventing businesses from establishing a physical location. Others such as Jackson Tire founder Charlie Glueck have said potential customers window shop locally and then go online to make the purchase to avoid the sales tax. ì Because people doní t have to pay [internet] sales tax on a large purchase, say $800 to $1,000 on a set of tires, sometimes thatí s the difference between us get≠ ting the deal and a customer buying online,î he said. ì You can buy anything online and in a small town, ití s tough. Everybodyí s working hard to try to make a liv≠ ing.î 2. Consumers have shifted their spending habits with more and more people shopping online. We, of course, always encourage people to shop locally. ì Support your local retailers who do so much to support our communi≠ tiesî is a message we regularly share. Still, the reality is online shopping is here to stay. And until local munici≠ palities sign off on the use tax, this is revenue that woní t be collected to support basic services. In Cape Girardeau, city leaders are making the case that revenue generated by the use tax will help make city staff salaries, particularly those of police and Æ re personnel, more competitive. Cape Girardeau is strug≠ gling to Æ ll these positions. One reason is the demand≠ ing nature of the jobs and risk of personal safety. But compensation is also playing a role. City leaders have also said some basic services may have to be curtailed if a use tax is not supported. Meanwhile in Jackson, leaders are connecting the use tax to parks and youth sports. ì This tax will be an economic development tool for Jackson,î Brian Gerau, executive director of the Jackson Area Chamber of Commerce, said at a recent meeting. ì If we up our ame≠ nities, ití ll bring more people here to use our facilities and Æ elds, and when that happens, everybody wins.î In Scott City, leaders say use tax funds would likely support retention of municipal employees along with street repairs. The use tax has garnered support not only from gov≠ ernment leadership but also the Cape, Jackson and Scott City chambers of commerce. And individual re≠ tailers have also spoken in support of the issue. Ití s time to pass the use tax for the betterment of our communities.

Celebrating our local heroes on First Responders Day Today is First Responders Day, and in the pages of the Southeast Missourian youí ll Æ nd several stories and photos celebrating the important and heroic work of our local professionals. The term ì Æ rst respondersî often invokes thoughts of police and Æ reÆ ghters ó which it certainly should. These individuals work in two of the most demanding Æ elds, putting their personal safety on the line to keep us all safe. Locally we are blessed with some tremen≠ dous professionals in these areas. But the category also includes a range of other individuals, from paramedics and EMTs to those with specialized medical training to emergency dispatchers as well as air and water evacua≠ tion professionals. These individuals doní t serve because of high com≠ pensation or prestige. There are other careers where they could make more money for much less stress and an easier life. But they serve nonetheless, and our com≠ munities are better because of it. To those who serve on the frontlines, we say thank you.

GUEST COMMENTARY

Why the use tax is needed in Cape Girardeau BY STEVE NAETER

am writing today to implore you to get out and vote yes Nov. 2 for the passage of the ì use tax.î I hate the term ì use taxî as it sounds like it is an additional tax being imposed. Let me assure you, it is not an additional tax! It is only the cityí s portion, or 2.75%, of our cur≠ rent sales tax rate that is not being collected by online retailers. The City of Cape Girardeau has a sales tax rate of 8.475% on basic goods. That percentage rate includes the State of Missourií s 4.225% and Cape Girardeau Countyí s rate of 1.5%, which are being collected by online retailers. The only entity not receiving its percentage of sales tax

from online retailers is the City of Cape Girardeau. Our 2.75% portion breaks down like this: 1.0% goes into general revenue, .50% goes to TTF, .50% goes to parks/rec and stormwater abate≠ ment, .25% is for Æ re safety, .25% is for the water plant, and .25% is for sewers. We, the citizens of Cape Gi≠ rardeau, saw the need and passed ev≠ ery one of those sales tax measures as an investment in our community. We need to pass this measure as well so that all of those accounts will be fully funded. What do I mean by fully funded? That the amount of money deposited into each of those accounts is at the same level as the previous year, or is increased, and that there is never

a decrease in the moneys deposited into those accounts. The less sales tax we collect locally the less money goes into those speciÆ c fund accounts. The lower those fund accounts get, hard decisions will have to be made. Ití s possible routine maintenance or repairs get pushed until there is suffi≠ cient money to cover those costs. If we vote yes, the online retailers must collect the full 8.475% current sales tax rate, and the City of Cape Girardeau will then receive its 2.75% portion making sure those fund ac≠ counts will always be fully funded. Please vote yes Nov. 2. The City of Cape needs you now more than ever. Steve Naeter is a resident of Cape Girardeau.

TO THE EDITOR

Use tax is important

Calling all Golden Eagles

Why do you shop on the internet? I use it to Æ nd things that arení t available locally and because ití s convenient. My guess is those are your reasons, too. I doní t shop the internet to avoid paying taxes. I know that taxes are a necessary evil to run cities, states and countries. I support Cape Girardeau and want it to continue to be a great place to live, work and raise a family. Voting yes on Nov. 2 will allow the city to collect a 2.75% tax (the same you pay a local retailer) on what you buy on the internet. Youí re already paying county and state taxes when you shop online. Why wouldní t you want tax dollars to go to your hometown where you drive roads, play in parks and rely on the police and Æ re departments? Costs are going up, good employees are hard to recruit and retain, and local businesses arení t generating the sales taxes they used to be≠ cause of online shopping. This perfect storm is putting Cape in crisis. Things we take for granted such as mowed parks, working street lights and a fully staffed police department are in jeopardy. I have lots of family who live in big cities, and while they appreciate what those cities offer, all of them think Cape Girardeau is a gem. Cape provides an excellent quality of life. Voting yes on Nov. 2 will help us keep what we have and make it even better.

I have been invited to use this forum to assist in the effort to invite former members of the Golden Eagles Marching Band who performed with our group at Super Bowl V in Miami, Flor≠ ida, Jan. 17, 1971, to join us at this yearí s SEMO Homecoming Football Game Oct. 30. The most difficult challenge has been locat≠ ing ì ladyî members, due to the fact the list of band members listed on the program includ≠ ed mostly ì maidenî names, making our task difficult. Our hope is for anyone who might have fam≠ ily or friends who were members at that time to contact me by email (pdnail@yahoo.com). Even those who didní t get word in time to at≠ tend the game, weí d still love to connect with you for future events. They may also view our Facebook page (Golden Eagles≠ Super Bowl 50th Anniversary). Contact me for a list of band members for that year.

Biden administration’s self-inflicted school board disaster T

he Biden admin≠ istration has suffered yet another self≠ inØ icted disaster, as the National School Boards Association (NSBA) board of directors has repudi≠ ated and apologized MARC for the letter it sent THIESSEN to President Biden accusing American parents of engaging in ì domestic terrorismî and asking him to deploy the FBI and ì its National Security Branchî to investigate them using the Patriot Act. Here is the problem: The Biden administration already acted on the associationí s request. Just days after the letter was received, Attorney General Merrick Garland issued a memorandum to the director of the FBI ordering him to ì convene meet≠ ings ... in each federal judicial districtî to discuss ì strategies for addressing threats.î But unlike the NSBA, Gar≠ land has not had the decency to with≠ draw his memorandum and apologize for this disgraceful effort to weaponize the FBI to intimidate parents who show up at school board meetings to protest the direction of their childrení s education. Instead, Garland has tried to white≠ wash his actions, telling Congress last week that he did not use the words ì domestic terrorismî or ì Patriot Actî in his memorandum. That was inten≠ tionally misleading. In a statement accompanying the memorandumí s release, the Justice Department an≠ nounced it intended to create ì a task

force, consisting of representatives from the departmentí s ... National Security Division,î among others, to ì determine how federal enforcement tools can be used to prosecute these crimes.î According to the Justice Department website, the ì National Security Division (NSD) was created in March 2006 by the USA PATRIOT Reauthorization and Improvement Actî to ì protect the United States from threats to our national security.î So Garland was doing exactly what the NSBA asked ó ordering the use of the Patriot Act to investigate parents who come to school board meetings to exer≠ cise their First Amendment rights. The story gets worse. It turns out the Biden administration did not simply passively receive and act on the NSBA letter. According to emails obtained through public records requests by Parents Defending Education, White House staff had been in contact with the NSBA for ì several weeksî before the letter was sent and had requested speciÆ c information be included. In one email, NSBA interim executive director and chief executive Chip Slaven wrote that ì in talks over the last several weeks with White House staff, they requested additional infor≠ mation on some of the speciÆ c threats, so the letter also details many of the incidents that have been occurring.î This strongly suggests that the White House actively collaborated with the NSBA on this unprecedented assault on parental rights. Worse still, one of the incidents the association included in response to the White Houseí s request was that of an angry father who was arrested

at a school board meeting in Loudoun County, Va. He had good reason to be angry: His daughter had been sexu≠ ally assaulted in the girlsí bathroom of her Loudoun County school by a male student. ì I am not a domestic terrorist,î said father Scott Smith. ì I am a concerned father who loves his family and will protect them at every turn.î The domestic terrorism contro≠ versy has helped turn the Virginia governorí s race ó which should have been a Democratic cakewalk ó into a dead heat. In one poll, Republican Glenn Youngkin now leads former Democratic governor Terry McAu≠ liffe by 17 points among K≠ 12 parents. Apparently, moms and dads doní t like being called terrorists. Nor do they appreciate it when former President Barack Obama shows up at a rally for McAuliffe and accuses them of ì fake outrageî and stoking ì phony, trumped≠ up culture wars.î What is inexplicable is why ó with all the self≠ inØ icted crises the Biden White House is facing ó they would needlessly ignite yet another dump≠ ster Æ re? Instead of listening to the legitimate concerns of parents angry about school closures, mask man≠ dates and seeing their kids indoctri≠ nated with extremist ideologies, the Biden administration collaborated with an activist group to intimidate and silence them. Their actions had the opposite effect ó pouring gasoline on the brushÆ re that is sweeping suburban school districts across the nation. Parents are mad as hell, and rightly so ó and will be taking their anger into the voting booth.

WORKING ON THE RAILROAD ALL THE LIVE LONG DAY

PAID LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Why I support the use tax Editorí s note: Letters on ballot issues and general public issues are considered for letters to the editor once every 30 days. This letter was submitted in addition to those guidelines as a Paid Election Letter. The City of Cape Girardeau is in trouble. We need your yes vote on Nov. 2. Retail shopping has changed dramatically over the last several years. Many ì brick and mortarî stores have closed. Because of convenience and a wider selection of products, a larger number of shoppers are turning to the internet to satisfy their shopping needs. Unless approved by the voters, the City of Cape Gi≠ rardeau does not receive city sales tax revenue from products purchased online. No city sales tax to help maintain and improve infrastructure. No city sales tax to help fund police, Æ re, public works, and parks and recreation programs. On Nov. 2, Cape Girardeau voters are being asked to approve a use tax (online sales tax). In my opinion, vot≠ ers are not being asked to approve a new tax. The $.0275 city sales tax was approved by voters years ago. Voters are being asked to give the City of Cape Girardeau per≠ mission to charge city sales tax on online purchases that is currently not being charged this tax. I have decided to vote yes on the use tax (online sales tax). I am willing to make a reasonable contribution to help maintain city infrastructure, programs and ser≠ vices. I encourage you to do the same! GARY HILL, 1412 Carter Street, Cape Girardeau, MO 63701

Biden urges bill over ‘finish line’ BY LISA MASCARO, AAMER MADHANI AND ALAN FRAM

ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON ó With his signature domestic ini≠ tiative at stake, President Joe Biden is urging Democrats to wrap up talks and bring the social services and climate change bill ì over the Æ nish lineî before he departs today for global summits overseas. Top Democratic leaders are signaling a deal is with≠ in reach even though mo≠ mentum Æ zzled and tempers Ø ared late Wednesday after a billionairesí tax and a paid family leave program fell out of the Democratsí sweeping bill, mostly to satisfy a pivot≠ al senator in the 50≠ 50 Senate. But expanded health care programs, free pre≠ kinder≠ garten and some $500 billion to tackle climate change re≠ main in the mix in whatí s now at least a $1.75 trillion package.

And Democrats are eye≠ ing a new surcharge on the wealthy ó 5% on incomes above $10 million and an ad≠ ditional 3% on those beyond $25 million ó to help pay for it, according to a person who requested anonymity to discuss the private talks. ì Theyí re all within our reach. Letí s bring these bills over the Æ nish line.î Biden tweeted late Wednesday. To help push lawmakers toward that goal, Biden will speak this morning to the House Democratic Caucus, a person familiar with the plan told The Associated Press on condition of ano≠ nymity. Besides pressing for important party priorities, the president was hoping to show foreign leaders the U.S. was getting things done under his administration. The administration was assessing the situation ì hour by hour,î White House press secretary Jen Psaki said.

It was a fast≠ moving day on Capitol Hill that started up≠ beat as House Speaker Nan≠ cy Pelosi declared that Dem≠ ocrats were in ì pretty good shape.î But hopes quickly faded as Bidení s big propos≠ al ran into stubborn new setbacks, chief among them how to pay for it all. A just≠ proposed tax on bil≠ lionaires could be scrapped after Democratic Sen. Joe

Manchin of West Virginia objected, according to a se≠ nior party aide, who request≠ ed anonymity to discuss the private talks. The billionairesí tax pro≠ posal had been designed to win over another Democratic holdout, Sen. Kyrsten Sine≠ ma of Arizona, but Manchin panned it as unfairly target≠ ing the wealthy, leaving Dem≠ ocrats at odds.

Gen. Milley calls Chinese weapon test ‘very concerning’ BY ROBERT BURNS

ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON ó China recently conducted a ì very concerningî test of a hyper≠ sonic weapon system as part of its aggressive advance in space and military technol≠ ogies, the top U.S. military officer says. Gen. Mark Milley, chair≠ man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was the Æ rst Pentagon official to conÆ rm on the re≠ cord the nature of a test this year by the Chinese military the Financial Times had re≠ ported was a nuclear≠ capable hypersonic weapon that was launched into space and orbit≠ ed the Earth before re≠ enter≠ ing the atmosphere and glid≠ ing toward its target in China. Milley said he could not discuss details because as≠ pects involved classiÆ ed in≠ telligence. He said the United

States also is working on hy≠ personic weapons, whose key features include Ø ight trajec≠ tory, speed and maneuver≠ ability that make them capa≠ ble of evading early warning systems that are part of U.S. missile defenses. The U.S. has not conducted a hypersonic weapon test of the sort Milley said China had achieved. ì What we saw was a very signiÆ cant event of a test of a hypersonic weapon system, and it is very concerning,î Milley said on ì The David Rubenstein Show: Peer≠ to≠ Peer Conversationsî on Bloomberg Television. ì I think I saw in some of the newspapers, they used the term Sputnik moment,î he added. ì I doní t know if ití s quite a Sputnik moment, but I think ití s very close to that. So ití s a very signiÆ cant technological event that oc≠ curred, or test that occurred,

by the Chinese. And it has all of our attention.î The launch of a Sputnik satellite by the Soviet Union in 1957 stunned the world and fed U.S. fears that it was falling behind technological≠ ly in an accelerating arms race in the early stages of the nuclear age. China has disputed West≠ ern news reports about its test, saying it was working on technology for a re≠ useable space vehicle for peaceful purposes. Asked about Milleyí s re≠ marks, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said he was conveying concern about Chinaí s military mod≠ ernization. ì They continue to pursue capabilities that increase ten≠ sions in the region,î she said. ì And we continue to have concerns about that. And I think that was reØ ected in

his comments.î Pentagon press secre≠ tary John Kirby declined to comment on the test or on Milleyí s remarks be≠ yond saying that Chinaí s work on advanced hyper≠ sonic weaponry is among a ì suite of issuesî that cause the Biden administration to be concerned by ì the tra≠ jectory of where things are going in the Indo≠ PaciÆ c.î

Cape school board not impacted by Missouri School Boards Association’s break from NSBA BY MONICA OBRADOVIC

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN

The Missouri School Boards Associationí s (MSBA) recent disassoci≠ ation from the National School Boards Association (NSBA) will have little to no effect on Cape Girardeau School District board, ac≠ cording to school board member Missy Phegley. The MSBA recently left the NSBA after lead≠ ers found the NSBA ì has demonstrated it does not currently align with MS≠ BAí s guiding principles of local governance.î The national associa≠ tioní s president and exec≠ utive director sent a letter to President Joe Biden last month asking for federal assistance to stop threats and acts of violence against public school boards and school children. The NSBA equated acts against school boards and public school officials to do≠ mestic terrorism and hate crimes, though its board of directors has since apolo≠ gized for the letter.

Phegley serves as a li≠ aison between the Cape Girardeau School District Board of Education and MSBA. She said the MSBA provides board members extensive training upon election and professional development through their terms of service. ì I doní t think the disas≠ sociation will have any im≠ pact on our school board,î Phegley said. In their letter, NSBA of≠ Æ cials asked the federal government to prevent acts of violence against school boards through executive authority and intergovern≠ mental task forces. On Tuesday, Gov. Mike Parson applauded the MS≠ BAí s decision to pull from NSBA. ì In Missouri, we have strict laws to hold those accountable who harass or threaten school personnel,î Parson said in a statement. ì Our highly trained local law enforcement are more than capable of handling these situations and do not need the DOJ or FBI inject≠ ing federal bureaucracy

into our local matters.î In a recent letter to MSBA members, MSBA executive director Melissa Randol wrote no school board mem≠ ber or educator should have to endure violence, but ì at≠ tempting to address that is≠ sue with federal intervention should not be the Æ rst step in most cases.î ì I agree with Melissa Randol of MSBA that no school board member or educator should have to en≠ dure threats or acts of intim≠ idation for making difficult decisions,î Phegley said. ì I also agree that federal in≠ tervention should not be the Æ rst step in addressing these issues.î At Cape Girardeau School Districtí s Monday night board meeting, board pres≠ ident Kyle McDonald men≠ tioned MSBAí s disassocia≠ tion with NSBA, but had to pause as attendees inter≠ rupted with applause. Recent Cape Girardeau school board meetings have often been packed with peo≠ ple ó some with family in the district, some not ó who come to voice their concerns on the districtí s COVID≠ 19 policies. Coupled with attacks against school board mem≠ bers and educators for ap≠ proving policies for masks, school board members from across the country have also faced physical threats be≠ cause of the false claims crit≠ ical race theory is taught in

Though a representative of Cape Girardeau School District has publicly said the district had no inten≠ tion to teach critical race theory; public commenters scheduled to speak at Mon≠ dayí s meeting cited concerns about critical race theory be≠ ing taught in classrooms. One speaker, who said she was a grandmother of two children in the district, be≠ gan her allowed three min≠ utes of speech before the board by saying she was ì not a domestic terrorist,î refer≠ ring to the NSBAí s letter. She then went on to ques≠ tion whether the Missouri Department of Education would use Canvas, an on≠ line learning system used by teachers in Cape Girardeau School District and several other districts nationwide, to ì push down their favored ideologies such as CRT.î Other speakers Monday night mirrored the same concern. Phegley said she appre≠ ciates peopleí s willingness to share their concerns and sheí s never received threats or experienced acts of vio≠ lence because of her role on the school board. ì Hearing from a variety of perspectives also helps in≠ form decision≠ making, while keeping the best interests of our students, faculty and staff in mind,î Phegley said.

First responders day Homeland Security Response Team prepared for any disaster in region The team trains for grain engulfment rescues in March.

BY SARAH YENESEL

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN From chemical spills, structural collapses, con≠ Æ ned space rescue, dive recoveries, outdoor search≠ es and more, the Region E Homeland Security Re≠ sponse Team is trained to re≠ spond to some of the worst conditions and disasters that could happen in South≠ east Missouri. Sean Mitchell, deputy chief of operations at Jackson Fire Department, recalled an in≠ cident in 2009 on Interstate 55 near Sikeston, Missouri, involving a tanker truck that had rolled. The team miti≠ gated a leak from the tanker over a 10≠ hour span. ì I feel we were able to mit≠ igate that leak and get the interstate back open faster than if we did not have a re≠ gional team,î Mitchell said.

Components Region E team covers 13 counties in the southeast part of the state. Jackson and Cape Girardeau Æ re de≠ partments, Sikeston Depart≠ ment of Public Safety and the Stoddard County (Mis≠ souri) Ambulance District are the main entities com≠ prising the response team. The team started after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, as a hazardous ma≠ terials response crew and has evolved into the overall technical rescue team it is today, according to Brad Dil≠ low, battalion chief at Cape Girardeau Fire Department. ì A lot of these agencies and departments within the 13 counties can handle almost any minor incident, but when it becomes very technical and in depth, you know, we might be looked

The team focuses on shoring and stabilizing buildings during a practice in July 2020. at as a resource to call,î he said. Members of the team put in hours of training for multiple classes. A class can range from 24 to 80 hours for each type of specialty response. There are also monthly hands≠ on technical training sessions to learn and/or practice certain types of rescues. ì The team is very import≠ ant for the region because it allows the region to have re≠ sources that some of the ru≠ ral departments and smaller departments caní t fund or maintain,î Mitchell said.

Regionalized The team divides specialty equipment by each depart≠ ment. Jackson holds a ma≠ jority of the teamí s hazard≠ ous material supplies, Cape Girardeau has the technical rescue material, Sikeston has communication and hazardous material equip≠ ment, and Stoddard Coun≠ ty Ambulance has medical gear. Dillow said the team tries to be as self≠ sufficient as pos≠ sible so each component has

everything they need when they are called to service. The team was called to service by the federal gov≠ ernment in 2017 when they were deployed to Houston after Hurricane Harvey. Dil≠ low said they now have the knowledge and skills gained from the rescues conducted in Texas to use in Region E if needed after a tornado or any other disaster. Justin Drury, a Æ reÆ ghter at CGFD and member of the Region E team for about Æ ve years, said the team is an im≠ portant asset to the commu≠ nity because during emer≠ gencies, such as tornadoes that can cause building col≠ lapses, the team can respond quickly. Otherwise, St. Lou≠ is region teams would be called in, which would take hours just for their arrival. ì Weí ve got some really good guys that know what theyí re doing and can help whenever that time arises at a momentí s notice. So weí re very fortunate in this area to have the equipment and the knowledge that we all con≠ tinue to train on and gain within HSRT,î he said.

Air Evac Lifeteam — critical care transport BY RICK FAHR

ing for someoneí s life.î Every call the team goes on involves a serious medi≠ cal situation, which can be grueling for team members. ì We counter the stress with our preparation, our educa≠ tion, with our experience,î Groshong said. ì There is less stress because we have gained experience over the years. Weí ve been doing it long enough that we know this is where we belong.î Smith agreed, adding that one particular type of mis≠ sion stands out. ì Pediatrics. We doní t get a lot of those, but if you dwell on that, it will eat at you,î he acknowledged. ì Those are the most sensitive, and thatí s really changed since I have a little girl.î

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN SIKESTON, Mo. ó Heli≠ copters arení t the most com≠ mon sight in the Southeast Missouri skies, and so when the telltale air≠ chopping sound Æ lters down, ití s nat≠ ural to look for the aircraft. Some choppers leisurely survey the area, not particu≠ larly going anywhere and in no hurry to get there. Others, though, have a purpose, and theyí re not dif≠ Æ cult to spot. These aircraft are in a hurry, and they are heading in a straight line. If they are inbound to Cape Gi≠ rardeau, they take one of two paths ó over the cityí s west≠ ern third, circling around to land at Saint Francis Med≠ ical Center, or through the heart of the city, drawing a bead on Southeast Hospital. These are medical helicop≠ ters ferrying a patient who is facing a critical situation. Among them are the Air Evac Lifeteam aircraft, such as the Bell 206 stationed in Sikeston, at Air Evac Base 3. The team provides critical care transport ó getting pa≠ tients to the appropriate med≠ ical facility while providing emergency≠ room≠ level care at about 140 miles an hour. While many may associate medical helicopter missions with se≠ rious vehicle crashes and tor≠ nado victims, missions also in≠ clude patients with dangerous medical conditions who need care quickly. Paramedic Kevin Smith said speed saves. ì You can get someone what they are needing at that spe≠ ciÆ c time much quicker than we could from the ground. In this area, ití s a really good thing, because youí re an hour away from a Level≠ 1 trauma center. Time is muscle. Time is a critical piece. So, we can really shave that down a lot with Ø ying,î he explained.

Experienced team Chuck Groshong serves as program director at the base and has worked at the site for more than a decade. He re≠ cently took over as program director.

Training All members of the team emphasized ongoing training to maintain certiÆ cations, learn new techniques and use the latest technology. ì If you want to consider yourself to be on the cutting edge of critical care trans≠ port, you have to keep up with those things, with your equipment, with your tech≠ niques,î Groshong contend≠ ed. ì We doní t like to be rusty in anything, because we get called for anything and everything. So, you have to maintain your skills.î He pointed to obstetrics and neonatal training as be≠ ing a training focus. ì We doní t Ø y a lot of those, but we have to be up to speed on it,î he said. Not only do the team mem≠ bers complete training for themselves, they provide training to ground personnel, such as identifying a suitable landing zone, recognizing po≠ tential hazards to the aircraft and using signals to commu≠ nicate with the team. Groshong said Æ rst re≠ sponders on the ground are key to the Air Evac team be≠ ing able to perform its mis≠ sions. ì We caní t say enough how much we appreciate our Æ rst responders. We really re≠ spect and appreciate every≠ thing they do for us.î

Southeast Missourian file

An Air Evac Lifeteam helicopter lifts off at an event in 2012 in Cape Girardeau. Groshong began his med≠ ical career as a paramedic in the Cape Girardeau area. From there he moved into nursing, working in Cape Gi≠ rardeau hospitals. Then, the opportunity to join the Air Evan team came along. ì It is really the perfect combination for most all of our backgrounds ó what we used to do on the ground or what we used to do in the ICU [intensive care unit] or ER,î he said. The director explained a typical Ø ight crew consists of three people ó pilot, nurse and paramedic. Pilots work 12≠ hour shifts, while nurses and paramedics work 12≠ or 24≠ hour shifts. The Sikeston≠ based team operates in Missouri, Ken≠ tucky and Illinois. Its main service area is Scott, Cape Girardeau and Stoddard

counties in Southeast Mis≠ souri, though hospitals in St. Louis are frequent destina≠ tions, Groshong noted. Pilot Joe Hall, a 21≠ year Army veteran with a decade of experience as a military aviator, worked in the civilian aviation industry after sepa≠ rating from the military, but he said he wanted his work to mean more than a paycheck. ì I like feeling like I feel like I have done something, served the community, at the end of the day,î he ex≠ plained. The pilot said the group has a constant focus. ì I really appreciate work≠ ing with the folks here. Ev≠ erybody works together as a team.

Officer: Police work rewarding one day, dangerous the next BY RICK FAHR

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN A great day at work might mean a promotion or mak≠ ing a big sale or even craft≠ ing the perfect product. For Cape Girardeau Police Department patrolman Ja≠ cob Carter, his greatest day as a law enforcement officer involved potentially saving a maní s life. While driving near Bill Emerson Memori≠ al Bridge, Carter saw a man stepping over the bridge railing. In his words: ì I knew that was extremely odd behavior, and I thought he might have been in crisis. So, I went to him. He immediately began saying, ë Doní t come near me.í At that point, I knew he might have been trying to jump off the bridge to hurt himself, take his own life. So, I just started talking to him and eventually was able to get him to come back over, and we took him to the hospital. To this day, I doní t think Ií ve encountered him again. So, maybe heí s doing well. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.î A seven≠ year veteran of the department, Carter knew as a youngster he wanted a career in some sort of military or law enforce≠ ment role. ì My dad was a paramed≠ ic. So, we watched a lot of

cops when I was younger,î he explained. ì I knew at a young age I wanted to do something in that Æ eld. I just happened to fall into the po≠ lice route, rather than the medical side.î His law enforcement ca≠ reer, though, would wait until after a stint in the Army. He served with the 10th Mountain Division, based at Fort Drum, New York. While there, he de≠ ployed to Afghanistan. Af≠ ter four years ó and get≠ ting married and starting a family ó Carter opted to leave the full≠ time military and joined the National Guard. With a dozen years of service, he now serves part≠ time as a military po≠ lice trainer at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri.

Never routine Carter said the unknowns of each workday make the job of a police officer ì excit≠ ing.î ì You never know what each day is going to bring you in this job, and I think that is what keeps me com≠ ing back. Every day is dif≠ ferent,î he said. ì If you are an accountant or a con≠ struction worker, you kind of know what you are going to be doing. In this job, ití s always something different. You never know what each job is going to bring.î That uncertainty, though,

Carter said law enforce≠ ment agents have to be aware of potential threats and remain vigilant no mat≠ ter what type of situation they are in. ì You just never know what people are thinking. So, I think you have to be more cautious anymore,î he said. He pointed to domestic violence situations and traf≠ Æ c stops as among the most harrowing situations for law enforcement agents. ì Anytime you are out there in the open, and some≠ one is in their vehicle, they have the upper hand,î he explained. ì You are walking up to them. You just doní t know what they are reach≠ ing for or what they already have in their hand.î Carter said police officers

in the city have stopped people for a traffic violation only to learn the person was sought elsewhere for serious crimes, including murder. He added serving arrest warrants can be particu≠ larly dangerous, too, as the subject may be aware of the warrant and could plan to resist arrest. In todayí s world, police of≠ Æ cers are part law enforcer and part social worker. ì We deal with a lot of peo≠ ple who have mental issues, and getting them help is a rewarding part of it,î Car≠ ter said, pointing to crisis intervention training that focuses on recognizing po≠ tential mental health issues and de≠ escalating volatile situations. The patrolman said those aspects of the job may be a

You never know what each day is going to bring you in this job, and I think that is what keeps me coming back. Every day is different. If you are an accountant or a construction worker, you kind of know what you are going to be doing. In this job, it’s always something different. You never know what each job is going to bring.” JACOB CARTER Cape Girardeau Police Department patrolman factor in fewer candidates applying for law enforce≠ ment positions. But danger, long hours and stressful situations aside, the job also has posi≠ tive moments. ì I enjoy that part of it more and more. You see how you can change peopleí s lives by something as simple

as giving them a ride if they doní t have a vehicle. And we give Christmas toys to a family. That is rewarding,î Carter said. Finally, the patrolman said ití s important for law en≠ forcement agents to have a way to relieve the stress the job can create. ì I play a lot of golf.î

Strength. Courage. Service. Thank you to our first responders from all of us at First Midwest. Your selfless service is an inspiration and we can’t thank you enough for always putting our community first.

Volunteer firefighters — serving communities up close BY RICK FAHR

That weird noise wasní t a malfunction. It identiÆ ed a call coming into the towní s volunteer Æ re department. Members of the depart≠ ment would have the local telephone company add them to the list of those authorized to receive incoming emer≠ gency calls, and those special requests for help demanded attention because the situa≠ tion could be anything ó Æ re at the huge Riceland grain dryer in town, possible fatal≠ ities caused by a tornado or a medical emergency when the nearest ambulance was at least 20 minutes away. It was always a guessing game who would ì answerî the incoming call. Often, several people would jump on the line at about the same

It was just how the department had to work, to make sure no one wasted time trying to unlock a door

while someoneí s house was on Æ re. The emergency message would go to the bulky beep≠ er devices the members kept close by in heavy leather wa≠ terproof cases, telling them what type of incident was unfolding, where it was and anything else they might need to know. From there, the men (all men back in the day) would don their turnout gear, for a Æ re, and either head to the Æ re station to drive or ride in a Æ retruck to the scene or go to the scene directly.

On more than a few occa≠ sions, during Sunday morn≠ ing Mass at St. Anthonyí s Catholic Church, a handful of men would clutch their waist and turn down the vol≠ ume on their beepers as they quickly ó but reverently ó left church to answer a more urgent prayer request. These volunteers knew full well every time they answered a call, it might be their last. Battling a smolder≠ ing Æ re in a behemoth con≠ crete grain bin is dangerous work, as is sifting through rubble as power lines spark overhead. They also knew another horriÆ c truth: In such a small town and sparsely populated area, any call they respond≠ ed to might be an incident involving their friends, neigh≠ bors or even family mem≠ bers. Those Æ reÆ ghters have witnessed horrible events, as their counterparts in Mis≠ souri and elsewhere have. They saw life drain out of the 5≠ year≠ old girl who fell off her ATV and hit her head. They watched their friend and co≠ worker peacefully breathe his last as a heart attack claimed

his life. And they were there after their colleague couldní t avoid a collision with a train, his farming implement hav≠ ing gotten hung on the rail≠ road tracks. In Missouri, Æ reÆ ghters staff three types of depart≠ ments ó municipal Æ re de≠ partments, Æ re protection districts (such as Delta Fire Protection District, Fruit≠ land Area Fire Protection District and Gordonville Fire Protection District in Cape Girardeau County) and vol≠ unteer Æ re departments. All Æ reÆ ghters deserve our respect for what they do, and there is something special about those who step for≠ ward to lend a helping hand in a time of need not when ití s their ì jobî ó but their calling. ì Pillars of the com≠ munityî is the phrase that comes to mind.

Prep roundup: Saxony upsets top-seeded Woodland to capture district volleyball title SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN Beating a quality op≠ ponent twice is tough. Thrice is harder. Class 2 power Woodland found out the hard way on Tuesday when it fell to Saxony Lutheran 25≠ 22, 9≠ 25, 23≠ 25, 26≠ 24 in a dis≠ trict championship match at West County, sending the Crusaders to the state sectional round. Saxony(15≠ 13≠ 3), which fell to top≠ seeded Wood≠ land in their two previous meetings this season, will host a 30≠ 6≠ 1 Jefferson (Fes≠ tus) squad today. Saxony defensive ace Anna Mueller had 32 digs in the upset win and Emma Voelker totaled 23 assists. Many of Voelkerí s pass≠ es went to Josey Wahlers, who had 15 kills and three

blocks. It was the Æ nal high school game for Woodland (25≠ 5) senior and four≠ year star Addie Johnson, who eclipsed the 1,000≠ kill ca≠ reer mark.

Ití s Æ nally that time of the high school football season. You win or go home. For many seniors, this could be the last time they ever strap on a set of shoulder pads and don a helmet. For others, this is the Æ rst test on the long road toward a potential state championship. High school football district tour≠ naments begin Friday, with Cape Central, Chaffee, Perryville, Scott

The Cape Central volley≠ ball team fought valiant≠ ly against Farmington on Tuesday in the Class 4 Dis≠ trict 1 championship. But it wasní t enough. Farmington had its work cut out, but the Knights would ultimately sweep Central 25≠ 16, 25≠ 22, 25≠ 18 for the district crown at Cape Central High School. ì I love these girls,î Cape Central coach Haley Sil≠ man. ì We battled with a lot of COVID stuff at the begin≠ ning of the year.

Vogel was also active on defense, recording Æ ve digs and four

Silman praised Phelps and the other Central under≠ classmen and feels having the opportunity to play in a district championship will be beneÆ cial to their growth. ì Madison Phelps is a sophomore, so this is a great experience for her,î Silman said. ì My liberoí s a junior and my other middleí s a junior, so this is just such a good experience for them to kind of get those nerves, get that excitement and that anxiety and kind of deal with it. Now they know what to expect next year. Ií m real≠ ly glad that we do have those girls coming back and Ií m glad we got this far so they can have that experience.î The Tigers took down sec≠ ond≠ seeded Fredericktown in straight sets on Friday to advance to the champion≠ ship game.

State last week. Not quite the offense once led by NFL Æ gures and for≠ mer EIU quarterbacks Jim≠ my Garoppolo, Tony Romo and Sean Payton. Much of its troubles are due to turnovers (15). EIU has completed 120 of 261 passes for 1,331 yards, 11 interceptions and six touchdowns. ì We have to try and get them in passing situations and take the ball away,î said Matukewicz, whose team has forced 16 turn≠ overs. EIU doesní t do much damage on the ground, ei≠ ther, ranking 105th in the FCS (97 rushing yards per game).

EIU defense tough Considering the amount of time EIUí s defense has been on the Æ eld, ití s been formidable. The Panthers rank fourth in the FCS in pass defense (157 yards per game), which could be problematic for a SEMO passing game that

EIU has given up 19 sacks this season, giving the Red≠ hawks defense a nice op≠ portunity to potentially up its sack total (10) on the eve of Halloween. SEMO linebacker Jacob Morrisey has a team≠ high three sacks.

Will Hess hit 1,000? All≠ American SEMO running back Geno Hess (899 rushing yards) is the on cusp of 1,000 yards. Hess ranks fourth in the country in rushing yards and has Cushingí s full at≠ tention. ì They do a good job run≠ ning the ball,î Cushing said of SEMO. ì Theyí re simple and sound up front.î

A King and Jester Senior receiver Zach suf≠ fered a career≠ ending inju≠ ry, and Aaron Alston isní t producing like he has in previous seasons following a September injury. Johnny King and Terrell Jester may have to step up like they did at UT≠ Martin last week for the Redhawks passing game to continue to grow in a pivotal stretch. King had 96 yards receiv≠ ing and two touchdowns last week and created sep≠ aration in several deep routes. Jester had Æ ve re≠ ceptions for 61 yards.

Heuring hopes to inspire new generation of fastpitch players BY J.C. REEVES

doní t play because they doní t know anybody that played it. Theyí ve never seen it and they think ití s just for girls. Well, thatí s not true. ì You see what we do in Kelso, and it used to be like that all the time everywhere. But weí re one of the few areas in the whole coun≠ try anymore that still has a successful tournament with the crowds and atmosphere that we offer in Kelso. But if weí re going to continue that weí ve got to have some new blood involved, develop new players and get them inter≠ ested. If they like baseball, when their baseball days are over with and they still want to play competitive ball, fast≠ pitch is the thing to do for a lot of kids when they get out of high school. Maybe a small percentage will play in college but not very many of them. Most will play high school baseball and theyí re done. They doní t go to the next level. Well, if they want something to do fastpitch softball is an option there.î Heuringí s only concern about building the sport is developing pitching. ì Ití s like anything else you do, if you practice enough youí re going to get good at it,î Heuring said. ì Repeti≠ tion is key. ì Guys doní t have a prob≠ lem pitching in baseball, but in softball, you can pitch lit≠ erally every day. It ainí t like baseball where ití s gonna wear on you. You can pitch all weekend. Thereí s guys that pitch six, seven, even eight ballgames in a week≠ end. You may be a little tired but ití s not going to affect

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN For Rick Heuring, mení s fastpitch softball is more than just a game. Ití s his passion. ì I think ití s the greatest game on Earth,î Heuring said. ì I grew up with it, Ií ve played it and Ií ve done every≠ thing there is to do with it.î Heuring ó who founded the Kelso Klassic softball tournament in 1985 ó has seen the sport he holds so dearly dwindle in populari≠ ty. ì The game has dwindled where thereí s not very many teams around anymore,î Heuring said. ì The young generation does not know anything about the game because they havení t played it. But Ií m convinced that if they were given an opportu≠ nity to play that they would probably like it a lot better than baseball.î Thatí s why Heuring hopes to inspire a new generation to play fastpitch, and he be≠ lieves it begins by getting potential players to show up and play. Heuring feels fastpitch is the natural next step for former baseball players who have to hang up their cleats and feels like young baseball players near the end of their careers should consider making the switch to soft≠ ball. ì All they know is baseball, and a lot of it is their par≠ ents,î Heuring said. ì I think ití s caused a decline because that generation, for what≠ ever reason, did not play softball and now their kids

KYLE SMITH ~ Dexter Statesman

Members of the Notre Dame volleyball team celebrate after winning the MSHSAA Class 3 District 1 championship with a 25-11, 25-16, 25-19 victory over Dexter on Tuesday at the Bearcat Event Center in Dexter.

Notre Dame ends six-year district drought The Bulldogs avenged loss to Dexter in last season’s title match BY KYLE SMITH

DEXTER STATESMAN DEXTER, Mo. ó The seeds were planted for No≠ tre Dameí s run to a district championship almost a year ago. The top≠ seeded Bulldogs swept second≠ seeded Dexter 25≠ 11, 25≠ 16, 25≠ 19 to win their Æ rst district championship since 2015 Tuesday night at the Bearcat Event Center. ì The Æ ve≠ set game from last year, I think, was one of the biggest motivators for the girls,î Notre Dame coach Meridith Brinkmeyer said of last yearí s 22≠ 25, 25≠ 23, 27≠ 25, 23≠ 25, 15≠ 8 loss to Dexter in the MSHSAA Class 3 Dis≠ trict 1 tournament. ì They did not want to have that feeling again. They have been working for this all sea≠ son. This past week after the (SEMO) conference tourna≠ ment, they have been work≠ ing as hard as they possibly can, working on little things we needed to correct. I think it all came together tonight.î Notre Dame (25≠ 5≠ 4) will host Valle Catholic in a sectional match at 6:30 p.m. Thursday in Cape Gi≠ rardeau. Valle (29≠ 4≠ 3) de≠ feated cross≠ town rival Ste. Genevieve 25≠ 19, 25≠ 16, 27≠ 25 to win the District 2 title. The Bulldogs controlled the net behind a dominant block, which produced eight blocks and deØ ected count≠ less Dexter attacks. Senior Lexi Rubel and ju≠ nior Tori Rubel tallied three blocks each to lead the Bull≠ dogs. Dexter Æ nished with four blocks, including three by junior Carly Long. ì We have been working on that for a solid week,î Brink≠ meyer said of her teamí s blocks. ì Drill after drill af≠ ter drill. I owe it all to them. They went out there and did what they (had to do). Ií m super, super proud of them.î Notre Dameí s Rubel sisters bring height to the middle. ì They have two 6≠ foot girls who are athletic and can jump. It was hard,î Dexter coach Starla Pulley said of Notre Dameí s front≠ line defense. ì I think our girls, toward the third set, were swinging better and we were working the block a little bit more. We just started a little too late.î The Bulldogs scored the matchí s Æ rst four points and strung together a 10≠ 1 rally to take a commanding 17≠ 5 lead. ì I think the girls were in it from the beginning,î Brink≠ meyer said. ì They were fo≠ cused. We got here, got off the bus and they were locked in.î Dexter committed nine er≠ rors in the Æ rst game, which resulted in points for the Bulldogs. ì They came out strong. Theyí re a great team all the way around,î Pulley said.

ì We struggled a little bit in the beginning with our fo≠ cus. I think we had a bit of (district) jitters. I was proud of the girls for continuing to Æ ght. They never gave up. At the end of the night, win or lose, as long as you go out there and can say you gave it your all and you did what you can do, thatí s all you can ask for.î The Bulldogs produced 13 kills, compared to three by Dexter, in the opening set. They closed out the game on one of senior Rylee McClin≠ tockí s seven Æ rst≠ set kills. Overall, Notre Dame pounded 44 kills, while the Bearcats Æ nished with 23. McClintock produced a match≠ best 13 kills, and Lexi Rubel had 11. Dulcie Pullen paced Dex≠ ter with eight kills and Long had six. The Bulldogs led through≠ out the Æ rst set and never trailed in the second, even though Dexter tied the score at 1 on a kill by Long. McClintock and senior Sarah Brennan provided kills in a quick 3≠ 0 run be≠ fore Longí s block and Avery Neelyí s kill cut the deÆ cit to 4≠ 3. Notre Dame scored eight of the next 10 points and continued to pull away. The Bulldogs closed out Dexter with back≠ to≠ back kills by junior Kristin An≠ derson. The Bearcats took their Æ rst lead of the match in the third game. They went ahead 3≠ 2 on a Notre Dame passing error. Kills by Pul≠ len and Neely delivered Dexter a 5≠ 3 lead. Freshman Kate Nicholsí kill gave Dex≠ ter its Æ nal lead of the match (6≠ 5), before McClintockí s kill tied the score at 6 and Tori Rubelí s block put the Bulldogs ahead to stay. The Bearcats sliced the lead to one (10≠ 9) on a kill by Long but never came closer. They twice cut the lead to two (12≠ 10 and 15≠ 13) before Notre Dame used a 6≠ 1 rally to push the advantage to 21≠ 14. The Bearcats scored Æ ve of the next seven points, but Notre Dame clinched the victory on consecutive kills by Lexi Rubel. Dexter Æ nished the season 19≠ 10≠ 1 and will lose six se≠ niors ó Andie Kruse, Lexie Laramore, Magi McBride, Neely, Pullen and Tori White. ì They felt it last year and they wanted it again this year,î Pulley said of winning last yearí s district champi≠ onship. ì Postseasoní s tough because you know one team is going home. Ö I was proud of them. My six seniors, weí ll miss them for sure next year. Big shoes to Æ ll.î The Bulldogs last won a district championship in 2015 when they swept Dexter 25≠ 23, 25≠ 14.

Are trigger points causing your pain? A trigger point is a point in the soft tissue (muscle, skin, ligament, tendon) that triggers pain when it is touched or stressed. The trigger point develops because there is too much strain on the soft tissue for too long so micro tears develop. The micro tears never get a chance to heal because the stress on the soft tissue continues. So the body is in a continuous state of trying to heal the area. The stress on the soft tissue comes from improper use, over use, or a one time injury (fall, whiplash, car accident, etc.) that causes the tissue to be injured. Ultimately it won’t function correctly unless the proper function is restored and it is allowed to heal. Our trigger point injections use 1-2% lidocaine and 98 to 99% saline solution (water) in order to get underneath the trigger point and stretch it out. This allows our other techniques such as manipulation and therapy to be more effective. Trigger points are most common in the muscles around the neck, upper back and shoulders. This

can also be common in the low back and around the hips. However, they will develop in any area that has too much tension on the tissues for too long. Trigger points can also develop into other symptoms. We have seen people with shoulder pain, neck pain, headaches, numbness in the hands, low back pain and hip pain. Our patients have seen a significant decrease in pain after utilizing our treatments and trigger point injections. Some patients experience immediate relief from a trigger point treatment, while for others it may take multiple treatments. Patients also report seeing improvement in symptoms that seemed unrelated to the muscle pain. This is a result of the referred pain and symptoms that people experience with trigger points. If you believe you may be suffering from trigger point paint, it is best to seek treatment sooner rather than later. PC Medical Centers has staff trained in diagnosis and treatment of trigger points and ready to help you get the relief you deserve.

speaks to the efficacy of the treatment, which is received by 30,000 to 60,000 people each year. However, ití s still important to practice prevention. At this time, physical contact with saliva from an infected bat is the leading cause of rabies exposure in the U.S. Wildlife experts caution you should never touch a bat with your bare hands. If you know or suspect youí ve been bitten by a bat, seek immediate medical care. Whenever possible, the bat should be captured and sent to a laboratory for rabies testing. But just be≠ cause you have bats in your area doesní t mean youí re in danger. Wildlife experts say just a fraction of 1% of bats carry rabies. Stay safe by keeping your petsí rabies vaccinations up to date, and when it comes to bats and other wildlife, keep your distance.

ASK A FOODIE

Fry bread at Fuel: Honoring Native American Heritage Month through food T

he only thing I enjoy more than good food is good food with a story. A powerful story. This week as I returned to the familiar grounds of Fuel Bar + Taco in Jackson (634 W. Main St.), I found myself on a culinary journey that led to an emotional and educational undertaking beyond my expectations. The wheels were set in motion several weeks ago when I stumbled across members of an online foodie group discussing their love of Navajo tacos, speciÆ cally, fry bread. Curiosity led me to Google. Who saw that coming? I Google every≠ thing. I quickly learned fry bread is a traditional Native American food and not something I was likely to Æ nd in Southeast Missouri. I mentally added fry bread to my epicurean wish list and moved along. Then, six days ago, as I was mindlessly scrolling my In≠ stagram feed, I came across a post on theì fueljacksonî page alerting customers to a ë limited time onlyí item: Bison on fry bread. Bison tacos would be on the Fuel menu through the end of No≠ vember in honor of Native American Heritage Month. ì You must be kidding me,î I thought. I penciled in ì lunch @ Fuelî on my calendar and began researching the origins of fry bread. This is where I became emotional. I am Hispanic. I have been told I have Native American ancestry but no speciÆ cs. I have not been too concerned with the details Ö until recently. Earlier this month I pushed my reserva≠ tions aside and submitted to genealogical DNA testing. As I researched fry bread, I received a notiÆ cation on my cell phone: My sam≠ ple was in queue for DNA extraction. I wondered what percentage Native American I might be. What if I had no Native American ancestry? Could that be possible? I was nervously excited about the DNA results AND the opportunity to try a food that could possibly be a part of my heritage.

Submitted by Mary Ann Castillo

Fry bread is light, fluffy and indulgent. My research continued and I discovered the docu≠ mentaryì The Long Walk: Tears of the Navajoî on YouTube. I attended high school in a town where most of the community had Na≠ tive American roots in their family trees, yet I had never heard this story. Maybe I just wasní t paying attention that day in class. My heart was heavy as I listened and learned. I later learned fry bread is controversial in Native American commu≠ nities. For some, fry bread represents pain, poverty and suffering. For others, it is a reminder of strength, perse≠ verance and the will to sur≠ vive. Many lives were lost on The Long Walk, but the Na≠ vajo and Mescalero Apache refused to be conquered. At that point it occurred to me the DNA results did not matter. As Americans, this is our history. The culture, stories and contributions of indigenous people should be shared, preserved and hon≠

Fry bread represented an opportunity for me to connect with generations past by experiencing their food. When I Æ nally made it to Fuel, I had the opportunity to speak to Chef James Palen about his choice to feature the bison taco during Native American Heritage

Month. He had a personal motivation: he is 1/4 Native American. His maternal grandmother is 100% Native American and the family recipe used for his fry bread has been passed down from generation to generation for over a hundred years. Fry bread is often served plain or with toppings rang≠ ing from the sweet to the sa≠ vory. Chef Palen opted for a savory route that included bison topped with a mix≠ ture of corn, beans, cilantro and caramelized onion. I

was there for the fry bread, but the bison caught my attention. It was tender and had a rich and distinctive Ø avor. Some describe it as having a sweeter Ø avor than beef, but Ií m not sure sweet is the word I would choose. It does have a light≠ er taste, which I enjoyed. The corn/bean/cilantro/ onion added a satisfying mixture of fresh Ø avors one might expect from a tradi≠ tional taco. Then came the fry bread. It was thick, soft and Ø uffy with that greasy

crispness that comes from deep frying anything. It was indulgent and delicious and crumbled in my mouth with each bite. I smiled. I wondered what Chef Palení s ancestors would think if they knew not only is he free to live wherever he wants, but he also owns a restaurant where he is honoring their legacy by sharing the Ø avors of the past. I imagine they would have been pleased. I was, and I believe you will be too.

RECIPE SWAP

Fall isn’t just apple season; enjoy these recipes using pears

all harvest and the turning of the leaves also bring fresh pears in abundance this year, and they are delicious. Where I work, we have been blessed with so many pears from the community. We have had buckets and bushels brought in to enjoy. With the pear crop being so sweet and good this year, I thought about different ways to use them. I hope you can enjoy these recipes and have fun trying new and different ways to use pears during this season.

Recipes From page 1C Sheet-Pan Roasted Chicken With Pears and Arugula In this hearty sheet≠ pan meal, thick pear wedges and chicken thighs seasoned with earthy, warming spices are roasted until soft and tender. Using Æ rm, not≠ quite≠ ripe pears prevents them from becoming mushy and falling apart during the cooking process. Swap baby spinach for the arugula and sherry vinegar for the lem≠ on juice, depending on what you have on hand. Serve any leftovers on a bed of fresh arugula, dressed with lemon and olive oil.

6 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (2 1/2 to 3 pounds) Kosher salt and black pepper 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon coriander 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger from a 2-inch piece 3 tablespoons olive oil 2 firm, semi-ripe Bartlett or Bosc pears, cored and quartered lengthwise 2 tablespoons raw, unsalted sunflower seeds 2 packed cups baby arugula 1 lemon, halved 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems, roughly chopped (optional)

Heat the oven to 450 degrees with a rack in the center. Pat the chicken dry and trim excess fat and skin. Sprinkle all over with 2 teaspoons salt, and season with pepper. In a small bowl, mix together the red≠ pepper Ø akes, cumin, coriander, ginger and oil. On a sheet pan, rub the chicken and pears all over with the mixture.

Sheriff: Movie set showed ‘some complacency’ with guns BY MORGAN LEE, SUSAN MONTOYA BRYAN AND CEDAR ATTANASIO

ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA FE, N.M. ó Inves≠ tigators said Wednesday that there was ì some complacen≠ cyî in how weapons were handled on the movie set where Alec Baldwin acciden≠ tally shot and killed a cine≠ matographer and wounded another person, but ití s too soon to determine whether charges will be Æ led. Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza noted that 500 rounds of ammunition ó a mix of blanks, dummy rounds and live rounds ó were found while search≠ ing the set of the Western ì Rust.î ì Obviously I think the in≠ dustry has had a record re≠ cently of being safe. I think there was some complacen≠ cy on this set, and I think there are some safety issues that need to be addressed by the industry and possibly by the state of New Mexico,î Mendoza told a news confer≠ ence nearly a week after the shooting. Authorities also conÆ rmed there was no footage of the shooting, which happened during a rehearsal. Investigators believe Bald≠ winí s gun Æ red a single live round that killed cinema≠ tographer Halyna Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza. Detectives have recovered a lead projectile they believe the actor Æ red last week. Testing is being done to con≠

Æ rm whether the projectile taken from Souzaí s shoulder was Æ red from the same long Colt revolver used by Bald≠ win. The FBI will help with ballistics analysis. Two other guns were seized, including a single≠ ac≠ tion revolver that may have been modiÆ ed and a plastic gun that was described as a revolver, officials said. Souza, who was standing behind Hutchins, told inves≠ tigators there should never be live rounds present near the scene. ì We suspect that there were other live rounds, but thatí s up to the testing. But right now, weí re going to de≠ termine how those got there, why they were there because they shouldní t have been,î Mendoza said. District Attorney Mary Carmack≠ Altwies said in≠ vestigators cannot say yet whether it was negligence or by whom. She called it a complex case that will re≠ quire more research and analysis. ì It will take many more facts, corroborated facts, be≠ fore we can get to that crim≠ inal negligence standard,î she said. Investigators said they planned to follow up on re≠ ports of other incidents in≠ volving misÆ res with guns on the set. Mike Tristano, a veteran armorer, or movie weapons specialist, was alarmed to hear that live rounds were mixed in with blanks and dummy rounds. ì I Æ nd that appalling,î

Tristano said. ì In over 600 Æ lms and TV shows that Ií ve done, weí ve never had a live round on set.î The shooting has baffled Hollywood professionals and prompted calls to better regulate Æ rearms on sets or even ban them in the age of seamless computer≠ gener≠ ated imagery. Court records say that an assistant director grabbed the gun from a cart and indicated the weapon was safe by yelling ì cold gun.î The armorer on the Bald≠ win Æ lm, Hannah Gutierrez Reed, said she checked dum≠ my bullets on the day of the shooting to ensure that none were ì hotî rounds. She also told a detective that while the guns used for Æ lming were locked up during a crew lunch break, ammunition was left on a cart unsecured, according to a search war≠ rant released Wednesday ahead of the news confer≠ ence. Gutierrez Reed told a de≠ tective that no live ammo was ever kept on the set. When reached Wednesday by The Associated Press, she declined to comment. She said Monday by text mes≠ sage that she was looking for a lawyer. Assistant director David Halls, who handed the gun to Baldwin before the shooting, said Gutierrez Reed typically opened the hatch of the gun and spun the drum, though he couldní t recall if she did that before the shooting. He said he only remembered seeing three rounds in the

Weather junkies turn to Fla. hurricane blogger for info ASSOCIATED PRESS FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. ó As a recent hurricane lashed the Louisiana coast, nervous excitement churned inside Florida≠ based, self≠ proclaimed weather geek turned storm chaser Mike Boylan. The winds howled as he started up his white pickup truck and ventured away from the relative safety of a car wash northwest of New Orleans where heí d ridden out the early hours of Hurri≠ cane Ida in late August. ì I drove down this one road and, holy cow, the trees started falling,î Boylan, 48, recounted. The slowly moving storm suddenly took a turn north, forcing him to make a U≠ turn and speed away, trees snap≠ ping and power lines falling around him. ì It was a little scary, Ií ll admit,î Boylan said. ì It was more than I bargained for. There were some moments in my truck that I was say≠ ing, ë Just get me somewhere.í I wanted to get the heck off the road.î He soon found refuge at a LaQuinta Inn in nearby Boutte, Louisiana, quickly going live on Facebook to share Idaí s fury with his 1.1 million followers on Mikeí s Weather Page. ì You could hear all the damage going on around us,î he said. ì You could see sheet metal Ø ying.î Would he do it again? ì Absolutely. Thereí s a little storm junkie in me, thereí s no doubt,î Boylan said re≠ cently from his suburban Tampa home. ì I guess ití s a weird obsession.î Heí s become an online dar≠ ling among those who turn to him for their hurricane season Æ x, propelling him into the realm of social me≠ dia inØ uencers. But ití s his humble, down≠ to≠ earth na≠ ture that draws many to the beer≠ drinking, baseball≠ and NASCAR≠ loving guy who has always been fascinated by hurricanes. ì I grew up obsessed with The Weather Channel,î Boy≠ lan said, ì I would always wake up in the morning and see if the cone shifted. You always get that excitement, like ë Oh, my Godí the cone is coming closer.î He started Mikeí s Weath≠ er Page in 2004 as a one≠ stop shop for weather informa≠ tion during a tumultuous six≠ week span that saw four hur≠ ricanes crisscross Florida. At Æ rst he only shared it with family and friends. Then it started getting clicks, spreading by word of mouth, and later by Facebook likes.

ì When I started, I only fo≠ cused on Florida. And then I got some people getting up≠ set because I wasní t talking about Texas storms or North Carolina storms,î Today, heí s expanded to Twitter, Instagram and You≠ Tube, while keeping up the original website, spaghetti≠ models.com. His videos have been picked up by television stations and websites, in≠ cluding The Weather Chan≠ nel. The marketing and busi≠ ness major quit what he calls his ì summer jobî to focus on Mikeí s Weather Page. In the winter, he does some event planning. ì For me to be successful in

the weather, I almost have to live and breathe it 24 hours a day to stay on top of things,î he said. ì Thatí s what people like.î With that comes recog≠ nition. Fans now spot him almost everywhere he goes. They also recognize his wife, Julie, and daughters, Emily, 15, and Sarah, 12. The fam≠ ilyí s two French bulldogs are also popular ó possibly because Mike let fans name the second dog, Hunter (for hurricane hunters). ì Ití s humbling,î Boylan said. ì That kind of stuff just freaks me out, especial≠ ly when Ií m 800 miles from home and run into people who recognize me.î

This aerial photo shows the Bonanza Creek Ranch in Santa Fe, New Mexico, on Saturday. Actor Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun on the set of a Western being filmed at the ranch on Oct. 21, killing the cinematographer. gun, according to the war≠ rant. After the shooting, Halls took the gun to Gutierrez and said he saw Æ ve rounds in the gun, at least four of them were ì dummyî rounds indicated by a hole on the side and a cap on the round. Halls said there was also a casing in the gun that did not have the cap and did not have the hole indicating it was a dummy, the warrant said. Halls ì advised the incident was not a deliberate act,î according to the warrant, which was issued Wednes≠ day in order to search a truck that was used on the set.

Baldwin, 63, who is known for his roles in ì 30 Rock,î ì The Departedî and ì The Hunt for Red Octoberî along with his impression of then≠ President Donald Trump on ì Saturday Night Live,î has described the kill≠ ing as a ì tragic accident.î The gun Baldwin used was one of three that the armorer had placed on a cart outside the building where a scene was being re≠ hearsed, according to court records. The production of ì Rustî was beset by workplace dis≠ putes from the start in early October. Hours before the

shooting, several camera crew members walked off the set amid discord over working conditions, includ≠ ing safety procedures. Baldwin in his role as actor appeared unlikely to be held criminally or civilly liable for the tragedy. As a produc≠ er, however, he is among a long list of associates on the Æ lm who could face some sort of liability. Concerns have been raised about Hallsí safety record by colleagues on two previ≠ ous productions. Halls has not returned phone calls and email messages seeking comment.
