Chief deputy David James to retire after 38 years of service BY J.C. REEVES

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN Chief Deputy David James with the Cape Gi≠ rardeau County Sheriffí s Office retired Friday after 38≠ years of service. ì Ití s bittersweet,î James said. ì Ií ve been doing it so long ití s just kind of in my blood, and ití s gonna be hard to just stop and turn it off. But, you know, those deals where I know a lot of people work up until the time they die, and I just doní t want to be one of those people. I want to have some time to enjoy life.î James, 63, Æ rst began working with the depart≠ ment in 1982 on a volun≠ teer basis.

ì The sheriffí s patrol had about 20 guys that worked whenever the deputies couldní t work, and we worked special events,î James said. ì So I was working the street without pay, you know, and I worked almost 20 hours a week sometimes.î April 7, 1986, James was hired as a full≠ time jail deputy by former Sheriff Norman Copeland before transitioning to the patrol division months later. ì Sheriff Copeland, he was highway patrol commander at the time,î James said. ì He became sheriff, and he hired me on. So then I started work≠ ing in the jail.î James was promoted

to the criminal investiga≠ tion division in January 1988, and was promoted to sergeant in April by Copeland. James was later promoted to lieutenant by former Sheriff John Jor≠ dan in February 1995. On June 13, 2012, James assisted in apprehending Lawrence Guthrie who had been involved in a shootout with Jackson police officers and Cape County deputies. James was once again promoted, this time to the rank of captain, on Jan 7, 2014. In January, sheriff Ruth Ann Dickerson pro≠ moted James to the rank of chief deputy. See JAMES, Page 4A

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN An ordinance allowing an urban deer hunt in Cape Girardeau deals with the same issue voters re≠ jected in 2013, but the cur≠ rent measure differs from its predecessor in signiÆ ≠ cant ways. The City Council ap≠ proved the measure by a 4≠ 1 vote, but, opponents have begun gathering signatures to try to overturn the ordi≠ nance. In 2013, after council members approved an ur≠ ban deer hunt, voters com≠ pelled a citywide vote on the matter and struck it down. Only archery equipment ó no Æ rearms ó would be allowed in the hunt. Among the major differ≠ ences in the two measures: Limited locations: 2013 ordinance allowed hunting on any property or combination of prop≠ erties larger than 3 acres, public or private; current ordinance, Æ ve designated public parcels (two parcels of Twin Trees Park, Dela≠ ware Park, Fountain Park and Cape Rock Park). Duration: 2013 ordi≠ nance, Sept. 15 through Jan. 15; current ordinance, Nov. 1 through Dec. 5. Number of hunters: 2013 ordinance, anyone with Bow Hunter Educa≠ tion or supervised chil≠ dren younger than 18; cur≠ rent ordinance, 40 Selected hunters re≠ quired to have Hunter Education or Bow Hunter Education certiÆ cation and at least 18 years of age.

Gov. Parson says teacher vaccinations can begin March 15 BY JIM SALTER

ASSOCIATED PRESS Oí FALLON, Mo. ó Mis≠ souri teachers and child care providers will be eli≠ gible for COVID≠ 19 vacci≠ nation in mid≠ March, Gov. Mike Parson said Thursday. Parson said during his weekly media brieÆ ng the state plans to open up vac≠ cinations to those in Phase 1B, Tier 3, effective March 15. That group involves an estimated 550,000 additional residents. The new date is about a month earlier than state leaders originally pro≠ jected. In addition to teachers and child care workers, those newly eligible will include school staff, water and waste employees, ener≠ gy workers, critical manu≠ facturing workers, and food and agricultural workers. ì While supply is still lim≠ ited, we are expecting slow and steady increases, and activating Tier 3 on March 15 will allow us to continue making progress as supply expands,î the Republican governor said. Teachers have been urg≠ ing the state to move them up on the vaccination pri≠ ority list, as many other states have done. Seven of the eight states adjacent to Missouri already are vacci≠ nating teachers. Most Missouri schools are open for in≠ person learn≠ ing even though teachers are not yet being vaccinat≠ ed. Information from the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education shows 463 of Mis≠ sourií s 557 school districts are operating onsite, though 252 of those offer online op≠ tions. Sixty≠ nine districts are using hybrid models

and 25 are online only. Senate Minority Leader John Rizzo said teachers should have been a prior≠ ity ì from the beginning.î Rizzo, a Democrat from Independence, also cited a need to direct more vaccine to densely populated areas such as St. Louis and Kan≠ sas City. Parson said urban areas are getting their propor≠ tional share. ì There is no division be≠ tween rural and urban Mis≠ souri,î he said. ì That needs to stop.î Missourií s vaccination effort will get a boost if the Food and Drug Administra≠ tion gives approval for the Johnson & Johnson vac≠ cine. A decision is expected soon. Speaking Thursday during a meeting of Missou≠ rií s vaccine advisory com≠ mittee, Division of Com≠ munity and Public Health Director Adam Crumbliss said the state currently administers about 120,000 weekly vaccine doses. ì I would hope to see us get over that 150,000 threshold with Johnson & Johnson coming online,î Crumbliss said. The new vaccine requires just one shot, while the oth≠ ers require two. Crumbliss said the Johnson & Johnson vaccine will be especially helpful for ì more transient and less visibleî people such as the homeless. It could also be useful at mass vaccination events operated by the Missouri National Guard, he said. Statewide data indicates 12.3% of Missourians have received at least one vac≠ cine dose, a percentage ranking in the bottom 10 of all states.

Bill to protect pets gets hearing BY JEFF LONG

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN Newly introduced legisla≠ tion to add household pets to orders of protection got a hearing before a Missouri Senate committee earlier this week. Sen. Elaine Gannon (R≠ 3/ De Soto), a 1975 graduate of Southeast Missouri State University, Æ led Senate Bill 71 in order to shield pets from those threatening or commit≠ ting abuse against them. ì (Pets) understand what youí re saying and doing, they have a pattern for whatí s going to happen at certain times of the day (and) theyí re almost like your children,î Gannon told the Senateí s Agriculture, Food Production and Out≠ door Resources Committee. Gannon, who told the panel she owns an English sheepdog, was supported at the hearing Monday in Jefferson City by repre≠ sentatives of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (AS≠ PCA) and Stray Dog Policy, a not≠ for≠ proÆ t animal ad≠ vocacy organization based in Leawood, Kansas. The speciÆ c language of S.B. 71 reads: ì Under this act, adult protection and child protection orders, full or ex parte, may be granted to restrain or enjoin an in≠ dividual from committing or threatening to commit abuse against a pet. A pro≠ tection order may include an order of custody of the pet where appropriate, as well as any funds needed to cover medical costs result≠ ing from abuse of the pet.î Gannoní s bill is identical to legislation introduced in

the 2020 session of the Gen≠ eral Assembly by two for≠ mer lawmakers: Sen. Scott Sifton of St. Louis County and Rep. Sheila Solon of St. Joseph. Both vacated their seats in early January. The Animal Welfare Insti≠ tute website, awionline.org, reports roughly two≠ thirds of all U.S. households have at least one pet. While most treat companion animals as beloved members of the fam≠ ily, AWI said 71% of pet≠ own≠ ing domestic violence vic≠ tims reported their abusers had threatened, injured or killed their pets. Addition≠ ally, AWI said abuse victims sometimes refuse to aban≠ don violent relationships for fear of what might happen to their pets if they leave. Missouri is among 15 states without a law cur≠ rently on the books to pro≠ tect companion animals in domestic violence protec≠ tion orders. The Æ rst U.S. state to pro≠ tect pets in this fashion via statute was Maine, which passed legislation in 2006. AWI has advice for those who live in states such as Missouri that are without speciÆ c laws protecting pets, suggesting a ì work≠ around.î SpeciÆ cally, when domes≠ tic victims in states without such statutes Æ le a complaint seeking a protection order, they should include inci≠ dents of pet abuse or threat≠ ened abuse in their Æ ling and ask the court to include pets in the property or ì other re≠ liefî section of the order to ensure coverage of their do≠ mestic animals. Gannoní s bill speciÆ cally excludes farm or commer≠ cial animals.

SoutheastHEALTH doctor says this condition left untreated can be deadly BY SALLY OWEN The carotid arteries are blood vessel powerhouses that extend up through the neck, providing ade≠ quate blood to the brain. When these arteries become narrowed because of plaque buildup, there could be Dr. George big trouble Berberian ahead. ì When weí re born, there is no plaque in the carotid artery,î says Southeastñ HEALTH cardiovascular surgeon George Berberi≠ an, MD. ì But over time, plaque builds up and that can lead to a stroke when tiny segments of plaque break off and travel to the brain, blocking essential blood Ø ow.î The brain needs a constant supply of oxygen and even a brief pause in blood supply can cause problems, Dr. Berberian adds. The buildup of plaque in the carotid ar≠ tery often goes unnoticed until symptoms develop. Risk factors for carotid artery disease include age, family history, race, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, obesity, a diet high in saturated fat and lack of exercise. ì The No. 1 number one cause of carotid artery disease in this particular area of the country is smoking, which causes spasms

of the artery along with plaque buildup.î Many of these risk factors are avoidable or manageable, Dr. Ber≠ berian notes. ì Making people aware of these risk factors, encouraging them to make lifestyle chang≠ es and work with their health care providers to manage conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure goes a long way toward helping prevent serious problems.î Know the symptoms and treatment Ití s important to know the symptoms of carotid artery disease and seek im≠ mediate medical attention if you experience one or more symptoms. Dr. Ber≠ berian says these include ì transient blindness of one eye, a weakness of one arm or one leg as well as numbness of that arm and leg. Symptoms may also include garbled or slurred speech, which are also symptoms of an early or mini≠ stroke, also known as transient ischemic attack (TIA) that may progress to actual, potentially debili≠ tating, stroke.î There are about 700,000 strokes in the U.S. every year, he notes. ì Men are afflicted with carotid artery disease and stroke more frequently than women, but women have a longer lifetime risk of carotid artery disease and stroke because of their longer life expectancy.î Early diagnosis of carotid artery disease is important. ì The Society for Vascular Surgery rec≠ ommends screening with

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN Cape Girardeau police responded to a report of shots Æ red Wednesday night in the 2800 block of Hemlock Court. According to patrolman Richard McCall, officers located one victim at the scene with minor injuries. The victim refused medical treatment. Some property at the scene was damaged, but no

suspects were identiÆ ed or located. The incident remains under investigation.

A carotid duplex ultrasound study can pick up severe plaque and we can intervene earlier so that the patient doesní t experience a mini≠ stroke or stroke,î he says. Severe carotid artery blockage, Dr. Berberian explains, ì is greater than 70%. That is an indica≠ tor for treatment of the disease, which is generally carotid endarterectomy surgery. This is a one≠ hour operation where we make a small incision in the neck and remove plaque

from the carotid artery. We also recommend medical treatment for patients with mild disease, less than 50% blockage.î Southeastí s expert cardiovascular surgeons perform over 100 carotid endarterectomy surger≠ ies annually with a high degree of success. The most important thing to remember about carotid artery disease, Dr. Berberian says, ì is early screening and detection can help prevent serious, potentially life≠ threat≠ ening problems later. Anyone over the age of 55 should have a carotid duplex ultrasound study.î

OUT OF THE PAST: FEB. 28 Sharon Sanders Southeast Missourian librarian Sharon Sanders compiles the information for the daily Out of the Past column. She also writes a blog called “From the Morgue” that showcases interesting historical stories from the newspaper. Check out her blog at semissourian.com/history.

1996

Groundwork is underway on a $9.75 million project that will provide three clinker storage silos at Lone Star Industries Inc., in the 2500 block of South Sprigg; the silos will be about 120 feet tall and 70 feet in diameter; “This will give us storage for 40,000 tons of clinker,” said John Burian, director of operations at the plant. The St. Louis media have descended upon Cape Girardeau’s Federal Building to cover a murder-for-hire trial amassing much air time and many column inches in their home city; satellite trucks from most of the network affiliates have been positioned at Broadway and Fountain Street to broadcast live reports on the trial of Richard DeCaro, 34, of St. Charles, Missouri, and Daniel Basile of St. Louis, who are accused of a clandestine plot to kill the wife of one of the defendants for insurance money; the government also accuses them of filing false insurance claims on stolen property.

1971

New Testament Baptist Church, 209 E. Cape Rock Drive, has accepted as

its new pastor, the Rev. Glen Foster of Springfield, Missouri; he is a graduate of Baptist Bible Chapel in Springfield and has been serving a church near there; he will move here with his wife and two children in March. PERRYVILLE, Mo. — Speaking at the dedication of the Perryville Junior High School annex, State Sen. Albert M. Spradling Jr., declares, “If the community must grow, so must its school system”; predicting “tremendous problems ahead” in planning schools to match population growth, Spradling says by the year 2000, population is expected to grow from three and one-half billion to seven billion.

1946

Stifled by the war, building activity in the area around Cape Girardeau’s new city park and generally on Highway 61, north and south of the Broadway junction, has resumed as much as the shortage of materials and labor permits; both commercial and residential buildings are in the picture, and reports are that industry is seeking sites in that section. Dr. V. Paul Grisham, who was released

to inactive duty by the Navy Feb. 25, plans to return to Cape Girardeau about March 8 or 9 and will resume his dental practice in his previous office, 230 N. Middle St; a lieutenant commander when he received his release, Grisham entered service Jan. 1, 1944, and was stationed first at Great Lakes, Illinois, and later at Washington, D.C.

1921

Police are trying to solve the murder of Good Hope Street night watchman Willis Martin, who was found dead in the rear of the Segal Shoe Store, 629 Good Hope St., yesterday morning, with two bullet holes through his body; a bloodhound is brought here in the afternoon from Kentucky, and it trails from the murder scene to the home of Jim Allen in Smelterville; Allen isn’t arrested, as both Police Chief W.J. Segraves and Deputy Sheriff Ed Frenzel vouch for him. A report comes from Jefferson City that the wife of State Sen. Richard Ralph of St. Louis County has notified Gov. Arthur M. Hyde she is unable to serve as a member of the Southeast Missouri State College Board of Regents.

Man arrested for alleged gun thefts BY ELIZABETH COADY

DAILY AMERICAN REPUBLIC POPLAR BLUFF, Mo. ó A former employee of Rhi≠ noí s Gun Worx in Poplar Bluff pleaded guilty in fed≠ eral court Friday to stealing more than 100 guns from the store and reselling them to individuals and pawn shops. John Franklin Quigley, 37, formally pleaded guilty to possessing stolen Æ re≠ arms and faces up to 10 years in prison, said Assis≠ tant U.S. Attorney Keith Sorrell. The thefts occurred be≠ tween July 2017 and De≠ cember 2018 and were dis≠ covered after ATF agents visited the store to review its Æ reworks ì acquisition and dispositionî records through which the sales of handguns are tracked. Investigators ì deter≠ mined that a large number of Æ rearms, over 150, were shown as acquired by the store, but were not present in the inventory and were not shown as being sold,í í according to a plea agree≠ ment. Investigators found that Quigley ì was taking Æ rearms from the Rhino store and selling them to other individuals and lo≠ cal pawn stores,í í the plea

agreement continued. When informed about the plea deal, Ryan Brooks, the owner of Rhino Gun Worx at 953 N. Westwood Blvd., said, ì Good.î ì Nobody would have ever believed that he would have done that,í í said Brooks, 46, who has known Quigley for about 15 years. ì Theyí re still shocked by that. He was such a good person. He was good as gold. You could not not like him.î ì After he got arrested, he said, ë For what ití s worth, Ií m sorry,í î Brooks said. ì It wasní t worth anything to me.î ATF agents refused to allow Brooksí to renew his federal Æ rearms licenses after it expired last May. He said he will be able to reap≠ ply for a renewal after Quig≠ leyí s sentencing. Quigley, who began working at Rhinoí s in 2016, pocketed the money from the gun sales for himself, according to the plea deal. The store opened in 2014. Brooks also owns Rhinoí s Truck Accessories at the same address. Quigley is scheduled to be sentenced May 26th in U.S. District Court South≠ eastern Division in Cape Girardeau by U.S. District Judge Matthew Schelp.

Former employee sues SEMO for alleged age, racial discrimination SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN A Scott County woman has sued the Board of Re≠ gents of Southeast Missouri State University for alleged employment discrimination. Mary Ann Farmer Æ led the suit in the 32nd Judi≠ cial Circuit and contends the university reduced her work hours, resulting in her losing employment beneÆ ts, after she com≠ plained about health con≠ ditions in Dearmont Hall. The suit claims the univer≠

sity replaced Farmer, who is white, with a younger, less qualiÆ ed Black per≠ son. The suit seeks damages for lost wages, lost employ≠ ment beneÆ ts, emotional distress, legal costs and attorney fees and for an order prohibiting the Uni≠ versity from discriminating against her and other em≠ ployees in the future. The suit has been as≠ signed to Judge Benjamin Lewis, and a case review has been set June 7.

St. Louis prosecutor seeks to take back McCloskey case ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUIS ó St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gard≠ ner has asked the Missouri Supreme Court to restore her authority to prosecute a couple accused of wield≠ ing guns at racial injustice protesters last summer. Gardnerí s office on Thurs≠ day petitioned the state Supreme Court to block a judgeí s order disqualifying her and her office from prose≠ cuting the case against Mark McCloskey, the St. Louis Post≠ Dispatch reported. McCloskey and his wife, Patricia, each pleaded not guilty in October to charges

of unlawful use of a weap≠ on and evidence tampering. Gardner was disqualiÆ ed in December after a judge ruled she created an appearance of impropriety by mentioning the McCloskey case in fund≠ raising emails before the Au≠ gust Democratic primary. She went on to win reelection. Former U.S. Attorney Rich≠ ard Callahan was appointed special prosecutor by Circuit Judge Steven Ohmer. The McCloskeys are ac≠ cused of waving guns at the protesters as they walked by the coupleí s mansion during a racial injustice protest in June.

Lord Jesus, may we focus on what is right in your eyes. Amen.

OUR OPINION

Behavioral health hospital a big win for patients, region Leadership for Cape Girardeauí s behavioral health hos≠ pital, joined by Missouri Gov. Mike Parson and 100 com≠ munity members, gathered for a ribbon cutting ceremony this week to celebrate the opening of the new $33≠ million facility. The 102≠ bed Southeast Behavioral Hospital is expected to admit its Æ rst patients the week of March 8. Gov. Mike Parson, a county sheriff before becoming a lawmaker and later governor, spoke at the event of how this will make a difference in peopleí s lives. Along with individuals and families, it should help law enforcement who are oftentimes put in the middle of mental health is≠ sues. The hospital, a joint venture between Southeas≠ tHEALTH and Universal Health Services, will eventually employ 180 individuals, including clinicians, therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, administrative staff, envi≠ ronmental services personnel and dietary professionals. The mental health numbers are astounding. Southeas≠ tHEALTH president and CEO Ken Bateman cited a 212% increase from 2017 to 2018 of Missouri Medicaid patients seeking assistance for mental health issues. But mental health issues are not limited to the poor, and the issues can be wide ranging. This facility will treat adolescents and adults on an in≠ patient basis and will serve not only those in Cape Girardeau and Jackson but across the re≠ gion. Congratulations to all those involved in bringing this facility to fruition. A special congratulations to Southeas≠ tHEALTH president and CEO Ken Bateman, whose lead≠ ership kept the project moving to where we are today. We believe this facility will make a signiÆ cant difference in the lives of many.

TO THE EDITOR

We have lost an American genius ì S

i Monumentum Requiris, Cir≠ cumaudi.î Rush Limbaugh cre≠ ated modern national talk radio as we now know it. For over three decades he kept at rapt attention ó live from ICTOR noon to 3 p.m. on week≠ AVIS days ó the largest conservative audience ANSON in broadcast history. More than 15 million tuned in each week. Last week, 32 years and more than 23,000 hours of on≠ air commentary after he went national in August 1988, Limbaugh died of lung cancer at age 70. By the 1990s he had become the voice, literally and iconically, of the conservative movement and its hot/ cold liaisons with the Republican Party. Limbaugh was hated by the left because he was deadly effective in Æ ghting them, and he was feared at times by the Republican estab≠ lishment ó because he could also be deadly effective in Æ ghting it. Limbaugh had an uncanny sense of what conservative populism could do ó such as abruptly end Barack Obamaí s control of Congress after just two years in the sweeping Tea Party midterm election of 2010. He also instinctively sensed what it should not do: endorse Ross Per≠ otí s quixotic third≠ party surge of 1992 that eventually would split the conservative vote and ensure Bill Clinton the presidency with just 43 percent of the popular vote. Limbaugh was a master comedian. His pauses, intonations and mock tones were far funnier than those of our contemporary regulars on late≠ night television. He was a gifted mimic, an impersonator, with as wide a repertoire as masters of the past such as Vaughn Meader, David Frye and Rich Little. Yet Limbaugh

Deer ordinance differences It has come to my attention that a group of citizens are forming a petitioners committee to begin the referen≠ dum process to overturn the recently passed urban deer hunting ordinance. That is well within their right if they disagree with the intent of the ordinance. As these petitions begin to circulate within our city, as mayor, I think ití s appropriate that our citizens know the true facts about the differences in the deer hunting resolu≠ tion passed in 2012 and the one just recently passed. The 2021 ordinance expires on Dec. 31, 2021, so the managed deer hunt is a one≠ time event to see its effec≠ tiveness. It will be evaluated by the city council in coop≠ eration with the Missouri Department of Conservation. The 2012 ordinance had no end date. The 2021 ordinance allows a managed hunt only on Æ ve designated city properties. The 2012 ordinance would allow hunting on any property in the city of three acres or more and adjacent parcels could be combined to form the three acres (all with written permission of property owners and notiÆ cation to adjacent property owners). Both of these are overwhelming differences. The 2012 ordinance would allow target shooting with archery equipment within the city. Our new ordinance bans tar≠ get practice for public safety reasons. The new ordinance requires all hunters attend a des≠ ignated City of Cape hunter orientation class on the rules of the hunt and Missouri Dept of Conservation rules. This, too, was not a requirement of the original ordinance. I would encourage each of you to educate yourself on the deer overpopulation issue and why Missouri has more than 100 managed urban deer hunts. Do not ran≠ domly sign a petition without knowing all of the facts.

worked mostly behind the micro≠ phone, without the aid of an onstage presence. During the 2009 Republican depres≠ sion over the Obama craze, it was a lonely, much caricatured Lim≠ baugh who revived Republicans. He famously announced ó to the furor of the left and the chagrin of what within a decade would become the Never Trump right ó that he wanted the newly inaugurated president and his agenda to ì fail.î At the time of such heresy, a deiÆ ed Obama was gloating over the Democratsí ì elections have conse≠ quencesî control over the House and Senate. Limbaugh was a natural impromp≠ tu public speaker. He could rev up a crowd in the fashion of a Ronald Reagan or Donald Trump. True, he was also a natural actor, but in part because he read widely, prepped constantly and outworked his oppo≠ nents. The cheap post≠ mortem attacks on Limbaugh were as expected as they were tasteless. In his thousands of hours of live broadcasting, did he on rare occasions say the wrong things? He admitted that he had, regretted it, and often apologized for it. He certainly never took out pro≠ gressive insurance ó the kind of occasional triangulation with the left that wins some conservatives exemp≠ tion from the cancel culture. This week, many would have pre≠ ferred to read less about what Lim≠ baugh had apologized for and more about the apologies Joe Biden never offered for his lifelong compendium of racial insensitivity and prejudicial bombast ó all to be contextualized in service to his ì correctî thinking. Limbaughí s canon was never to talk down to or insult the base. It was natural for him because he grew up with, knew intimately and felt most comfortable with traditional middle America. Deplorables and clingers

trusted him to stay Rush. They were assured there would never be a sudden about≠ face, confessional or sellout. Limbaugh knew how to golf with the rich but also knew what it was like to be Æ red often and unem≠ ployed with the deplorables. He grew increasingly frustrated that the naive right never fully understood the mind of the left. In ì Groundhog Dayî fashion, conser≠ vatives, he believed, became shocked on cue that any means were not just necessary for the left but ethically justiÆ ed, given that the ends were global justice delivered by supposed moral superiors. For someone with a reputation for mockery, I never heard Limbaugh in private or in correspondence Æ xate on his enemies or blast his former friends. Mostly he laughed them off, and instead turned to what he told hundreds of those who knew him: ì How can I help you in any way?î Limbaugh was confused by the Never Trump Republican virulence. He had dutifully fought for the four Bush election bids. He had loyally supported their three combined terms. And he tried to empower the failed and inept McCain and Romney efforts. His theory was that after the primaries were over, winning 50 per≠ cent of what you wanted in a general election was better than nothing. The amnesiac Never Trumpers didní t just fail to return the courtesy, he believed, but never even worried that they should have. Limbaughí s was a quintessential American success story. It is impos≠ sible to imagine any other country producing either him or his career. We are mourning for Rush, but also for ourselves. We are going to miss him and need him more, not less, each day that he is now silent. Victor Davis Hanson is a distin≠ guished fellow of the Center for Amer≠ ican Greatness.

Iowa’s governor beat the teachers unions and reopened schools. Here’s how she did it. W

atching the Biden administration Ø ail around on school reopening, one wonders what it would be like if we had a chief executive with the courage to take on the teachers unions and give every parent who wants their children to attend MARC in≠ person school the right to THIESSEN do so. We do. Her name is Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, R, and she just signed a bill into law that requires every public and accredited private school in her state to offer in≠ person learning, Æ ve days a week. Not a ì majorityî of K≠ 8 schools in 100 days, as President Joe Biden has pledged. All K≠ 12 schools, immediately ó no ifs, ands or buts. ì Kids were falling behind,î she says in an interview. ì In our largest school districts ... we had the teachers unions that were win≠ ning out, and we had kids that hadní t been in a classroom since August. ... We had teach≠ ers that had been unable to connect with students for over nine weeks, and there was nothing that they could do about it. The les≠ sons for the day ranged from 60 minutes to

90 minutes, and they were done.î Most of the affected students were disadvantaged kids in the inner≠ city public school system. ì We had 55 percent in one of our public schools of high school kids and 21 percent [of] middle school kids that were getting a D or an F in the fall. We saw a 21 percent decrease in Æ rst≠ grade literacy.î Some schools werení t even holding Æ nal exams. ì They were just doing chapter exams because they knew that the kids couldní t pass a comprehensive Æ nal exam based on the amount of time that they were teaching the courses.î Reynolds decided that enough was enough. ì The metrics support the kids being in school. We can do it safely,î she concluded. In her Condition of the State address on Jan. 12, Reynolds called on lawmakers ì to immediately send a bill to my desk that gives parents the choice to send their child back to school full time.î The state Senate quickly approved the measure 29≠ 18, the House passed it 59≠ 39, and Reynolds signed it into law on Jan. 29. Just one lone Democrat had the courage to breaks ranks with the unions and support it. Before introducing the legislation, Reyn≠ olds began attending local school board meetings via Zoom so she could hear the

concerns of parents. She was shocked to see the contempt with which parents were treated. ì The school boards were bullying parents, literally bullying,î she tells me. ì I had parents tell me they were afraid to go to the meetings. They werení t allowed to ask questions. They werení t given answers.î At one meeting, Reynolds says, a parent who is a professor at Iowa State University explained that she was teaching in person and offered to walk the school board through the mitigation measures the university had put in place. The school board wasní t inter≠ ested. ì They said, ë If you want your child to be in the classroom, then you should just go buy a house in the neighboring district,í î Reynolds says. ì Now, how just unconsciona≠ ble is that?î Reynolds thought Iowa had broken the stranglehold of the teachers unions in 2017, when she was lieutenant governor and the state eliminated collective bargaining for public≠ sector unions. But despite those reforms, she found that many local school boards remained beholden to the unions. At one school board meeting, she says, she learned of a ì teachers [union] in one of our larger metropolitan areas, Des Moines, that actually took a vote not to be considered

essential workersî to avoid returning to the classroom. Parents were saying teachers were essential, and the board told them that, actually, they were not. ì I was listening. ... I could not believe I was hearing what I was hearing. ... They werení t putting the students Æ rst.î To change that, Reynolds has introduced the Students First Act. It mandates open enrollment in all public schools, so parents can decide where to send their kids; allows the creation of charter schools indepen≠ dent of local school districts; and provides students in low≠ performing public schools with education savings accounts, so parents can choose where their education dollars are spent. ì We need to turn this over to parents,î she says. ì My deÆ nition of local control is parental control.î Reynolds believes the pandemic has cre≠ ated a moment of clarity, when frustrated parents across the country have Æ nally had enough and are ready to take back control of their childrení s education. ì If we doní t take advantage of this moment ... then shame on us,î she says. If only we saw that kind of boldness in the Oval Office. As more Amer≠ icans learn about Reynoldsí s leadership, perhaps one day we will.

PERSPECTIVES

Democratic Party is literally the party of government T

he Democratic Party is often called the party of government. Ideo≠ logically, this is so obviously true ití s not worth belabor≠ ing. Thereí s nothing inherently wrong with ONAH that. We have a federal OLDBERG government for a reason, and there are things it should do. Reasonable people can debate what those things are. But thereí s a difference between being the party of government in the ideological sense and being the party of government in the literal sense. A core constituency of the Democratic Party, both in terms of voters and donors, is people who work for the government. Members of teachersí unions regularly constitute around 10% of delegates to Democratic Party con≠ ventions. There are about 3.5 million public school teachers in America, comprising about 1% of the U.S. pop≠ ulation. That means teachersí union members are over≠ represented among the activist base of the Democratic Party by a factor of about 1,000%. In 2019≠ 2020, according to Open Secrets, of the roughly $52 million that the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association spent on political donations, $130,000 went to Republicans or Republican groups, and the rest went to Demo≠ crats or Democratic groups ó a ratio of about 400 to 1. Of course, ití s not just teachersí unions. In the 2020 election cycle alone, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employ≠ ees (AFSCME) dedicated 99.1% of its political spending to Democrats. The American Federation of Government Employees gave 95.6% to Democrats. At the state and local level, pub≠

J G

lic≠ sector unions are often the biggest contributors to Democrats, not just in terms of money but also in terms of organizational effort. No wonder that one of the Æ rst things Joe Biden did after being elected was issue an executive order repealing a Trump administration policy that restricted government employees from spending more than 25 percent of their time doing union business while on the job. It can now go back to 100%. Of course, part of the Democratic Partyí s preference for government unions can be explained by the cen≠ tral role organized labor has played in Democratic politics going back to at least the New Deal. In 2020, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, 90% of all labor spending on feder≠ al elections ($219 million) went to Democrats. Public≠ sector unions only comprised about a third of that ($68.5 million). But thereí s a difference between pri≠ vate≠ sector and public≠ sector unions. The former need a private sector to exist, which is why rank≠ and≠ Æ le union members are less enthusiastic about Democrats than their unionsí political donations would suggest. Biden got only 57% of the union household vote. Leading up to the election, members of building trade unions were evenly split between Trump and Biden. The difference between public≠ sec≠ tor and private≠ sector unions isní t trivial. Coal miners, factory workers, etc., formed unions in response to brutal working conditions, using their collective bargaining power to force important reforms from businesses. There is no similar history justifying public sector unions. There was no tragic Department of Motor Vehicles ceiling collapse that prompted gov≠ ernment workers to organize. Being pro≠ labor doesní t require being pro≠ government labor union.

Franklin D. Roosevelt, arguably the most pro≠ labor president in history, believed that ì the process of collec≠ tive bargaining, as usually under≠ stood, cannot be transplanted into the public service.î George Meany, the Æ rst head of the AFL≠ CIO, held that it was ì impossible to bargain collective≠ ly with the government.î Sure, government workers deserve some basic protections, but civil service laws were already providing those when John F. Kennedy lifted the ban on government unions. If they were inadequate, politicians could have passed laws to boost them without creating a permanent constit≠ uency for more government and more government spending. The crux of the problem is that government isní t a business. It doesní t have to run at a proÆ t. It can keep borrowing (or printing) money almost indeÆ nitely. Actual businesses need to keep the lights on by mak≠ ing a proÆ t. That tension imposes discipline on both management and workers when it comes to private≠ sec≠ tor unions. There is no similar countervailing pressure to keep labor costs in line or work rules efficient for government union labor. Since 1960, inØ ation≠ adjusted spending on edu≠ cation has increased by some 280%. Have we seen the quality of education improve 280%? The party of government, and often government itself, is dominated by a constituency that, to put it charitably, has divided loyalties between what is good for the public and what is good for them. Victor Gotbaum, a leader in the New York City chapter of AFSCME, summed up the problem in 1975 when he boasted, ì We have the ability, in a sense, to elect our own boss.î

Reparations don’t buy justice, dignity or freedom T

See results on the Perspective page Sunday.

he issue of reparations to Black Americans as payment for damage done as a result of years of legal slavery and subsequent discrimination is back on the table. The House Judiciary Committee just held hearings on H.R. 40, which would establish a commission to look into ways in which African Americans could be TAR compensated, including possible pay≠ ARKER ments of trillions of dollars to individ≠ uals. The commission would examine the role of government in supporting the institution of slav≠ ery, ì discrimination in the public and private sectors against freed African slaves and their descendantsî and ì lingering negative effects of the institution of slavery ... on living African Americans and on society.î My ancestors were slaves. And my life as a young woman was a mess. Was my life a mess because my ancestors were slaves? I doní t think so. My life was a mess because I lived a wanton, irrespon≠ sible existence, deÆ ned by promiscuity, petty crimes and scamming the nationí s well≠ meaning but totally confused welfare system to the greatest extent of my ability. Did I need reparations to turn things around for me? Certainly not. I needed a wake≠ up call, which, to my great gratitude, I got, from a few churchgoing Black Christians who told me the way I was living was unac≠ ceptable. I went to church, took back responsibility for my life and turned my circumstances around. The problem with the idea of reparations is it redi≠ rects attention away from exactly where attention is needed: on individualsí personal responsibility for their own unique lives. And it redirects attention in such a way to encourage individuals to believe that some abstract, collective entity from the past is the cause of all their individual problems in the present. Compensation for damages is a basic legal principle. Ití s about personal responsibility. Individual A sues individual B for damages caused. Exactly what the damages were and exactly how B injured A must be shown in a court of law. Today, only a small fraction of our population has ancestors who were around before 1865 when slavery was legal. The idea of collective guilt, with no speciÆ c individual identiÆ ed as causing the damage and no spe≠ ciÆ c individual showing how he or she was damaged, doesní t Ø y. If there is any legitimate claim of collective guilt, it is the guilt of original sin, which we learn in the book of Genesis. Every man and woman is imperfect and responsible for Æ xing themselves ó and, by doing so, helping to Æ x the world. There is no word more frequently used in political discussions than ì freedom.î But rarely discussed is what gives meaning to the word ì freedom,î and that is understanding that individuals have free choice ó the power and responsibility to choose how to live. Only when we understand that there is good and evil, that there is sin, does free choice have meaning. It means individuals have the power and responsibility to choose how to live ó that their individual choices matter. Driving the push for reparations are policies on race that obliterate this key idea that every individual, regardless of circumstance and history, is unique and has free choice. The political idea of freedom becomes irrelevant because free choice becomes irrelevant. So≠ called critical race theory says everything is about culture. Because, per their claim, the USA is about what they deÆ ne as white culture, the cultural script needs to be rewritten to make things fair for those who are not white. Put politicians in charge of making things fair. No, I am sorry; I always thought the problem with racism is it denies the uniqueness, dignity and personal responsibility of each individual. If the ideal we seek is a free country with free citizens, then commissions such as that proposed in H.R. 40, which pretend to be about justice but are really about a left≠ wing agenda to put government in charge of our lives, are not the way to go.

GOP can’t win with Trump at its center ì Y

ou doní t have to be a genius to succeed in politics,î the late Robert F. Kennedy once told a friend of mine. ì But you do have to be able to count.î In a nutshell, thatí s ENE why the Republican YONS Party needs somehow to shed itself of former Boss Trump or, for practical purposes, it will cease to exist. ì Practical purposesî deÆ ned as winning national elections. Polls show that strong majorities of GOP voters have been taken in by Trumpí s biggest and most funda≠ mental lie: that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him due to massive voter fraud. Never mind that Trumpí s peerless team of crackpot lawyers failed in 60 separate state and federal courts to prove a single claim. Not one. Or that the inÆ nitely cun≠ ning Democrats somehow managed to lose congressional seats while also cheating Trump. Never mind, too, that Republican election officials in Georgia, to name just one state Trump lost, recounted the votes three times without chang≠ ing the result; or that two Trump≠ en≠ dorsed candidates then proceeded to lose U.S. Senate runoff elections there and promptly conceded defeat. The simple fact is that record turn≠ out buried Trump by 7 million votes nationwide. True Believers, howev≠ er, know what they think. George Orwell put it this way in his classic political satire ì 1984î : ì In the end, the Party would announce that two and two made Æ ve, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality, was tacitly denied

G L

by their philosophy. The heresy of heresies was common sense.î Orwell also understood that deny≠ ing reality was ultimately fatal. A shipí s captain can deny the existence of icebergs and turn off the radar, but icebergs can sink ships regardless of popular opinion. Blinded by the cult of Big Brother Trump, almost three≠ quarters of Republican voters profess to believe that he actually won, that Joe Bidení s presidency is illegitimate, and that theyí ll support Trump again in 2024. Bless their gullible hearts. Two quick caveats: First, the Repub≠ lican Party is shrinking like, well, a proverbial iceberg in the Gulf Stream. Three≠ quarters of GOP voters is a smaller proportion of the general electorate than it was six months ago. Second, if one≠ quarter of Republicans refuse to support Trump, he can stage all the MAGA rallies he wants, but he cannot win a national election. In Arkansas, where I live, two prominent Republicans are sending up Ø ares as the good ship GOP sails into dangerous waters. First came Jim Hendren, a retired Æ ghter pilot, veteran state legislator and state sen≠ ate majority leader. OK, so he waited until after the election and the failed Jan. 6 coup attempt, but on Feb. 18, Hendren released a nine≠ minute vid≠ eo making his contempt for Trump and Trumpism clear. He singled out Trumpí s 2016 slandering of Mexican immigrants as rapists, his ridicule of a Gold Star family and his mockery of Sen. John McCainí s heroism. ì I watched the for≠ mer president actively fan the Ø ame of racist rhetoric, make fun of those with disabilities, bully his enemies, and talk about women in ways that would never be tolerated in my home or business,î he said. ì Then for months,î he continued, ì I watched as members of my own party and our former president tried

to overthrow the results of a fair and free election ... with lies, with false statements, conspiracy theories and attempts to subvert the Constitu≠ tion.î In a subsequent newspaper interview, Hendren got down to the arithmetic: ì Thereí s a real danger that the Republican Party is going to be one that you caní t win a primary without being a Trump supporter, and you caní t win a general by being a Trump supporter,î he said. ì What would have happened, then, is weí ve taken a party that was about principle and about conservative government to one that is about one man and a personality. And that is a race that doesní t end well for the GOP.î One can certainly quibble with Hendrení s characterization of Arkansas≠ style conservatism. Also, ití s widely suspected that heí s setting up to run as an independent guber≠ natorial candidate against Trumpí s former Assistant Liar Sarah Huck≠ abee Sanders, who has vowed to protect Arkansas from being taken over by New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio≠ Cortez. Seriously, she has. Hendrení s uncle, current Arkan≠ sas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, has made similar noises, appearing with CNNí s Dana Bash to say that he cannot under any circumstances support Trump in 2024. Like Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, Utah Sen. Mitt Romney and my personal favorite, Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger, theyí re making a principled attempt to rescue the GOP from the Trumpist delusion. Or at least to be there to pick up the pieces in the quite likely event that Trump self≠ destructs between now and 2024. Did you see that Trump casino they imploded in Atlantic City last week?

Cape Co. seeking grant to digitize licenses from 1941 BY J.C. REEVES

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN Cape Girardeau County commissioners approved Cape County recorder of deeds Drew Blattnerí s re≠ quest to apply for a $15,000 grant Thursday to help dig≠ itize marital records from 1941. According to Blattner, the records are important to people who were mar≠ ried in 1941, those needing to prove how their name changed from the one on their birth certiÆ cates and relatives who are interest≠ ed in family history and genealogy. ì Especially since the im≠ plementation of Real ID, we have been inundated with requests for certiÆ ed cop≠ ies of marriage licenses,î Blattner said. ì If someone caní t prove why their name is different from the one on their birth certiÆ cate, they arení t going to be able to get their Real ID and everyone seems to want to get that

gold star on their drivers li≠ cense so that they can Ø y.î The recorder of deeds office is working to dig≠ itize all records for ease of access and long≠ term preservation for future generations. According to Blattner, the ì loose≠ leafî marriage licenses and marriage license applica≠ tions are some of the last records needing to be dig≠ itized. ì We have a volunteer who has started with the oldest records and is work≠ ing forward as our office staff started working back≠ wards, but ití s too large of a task for us alone,î Blattner said. ì Every year I apply for a grant to help with the daunting task and last yearí s grant focused on this same series of records spanning from 1942 to 1967 but that was a much larg≠ er project and this yearí s grant funds are capped much lower.î The next year needing to be digitized working back≠

ward is 1941. ì The timeframe just be≠ fore WWII and up through WWII saw a drastic in≠ crease in marriages to the point that there nearly ten times as many people get≠ ting married per year than there are today, and that many marriages generated a lot of paperwork,î Blat≠ tner said. The digital images of the paperwork will be hosted on the countyí s historical research website and pres≠ ervation microÆ lm created will be stored in the Mis≠ souri State Archiveí s mi≠ croÆ lm vault. The application for the $15,000 grant is due on March 1, but Blattner has already submitted it. ì I had it ready and just needed to get the Com≠ missioní s approval,î Blattner said. ì COVID has made some things easier such as the whole grant process and the ac≠ ceptance of emailed ap≠ plications.î

The Southeast Missouri State University Board of Regents on Friday approved an overall 2.31% increase in Residence Life room and board rates beginning with the 2021 Fall semester. The Residence Life (RL) system includes 21 build≠ ings, including 12 residence halls, of which nine are cur≠ rently occupied. Cheney, Henderson and Dearmont halls are unoc≠ cupied, although Dearmont temporarily has been re≠ purposed for students who must quarantine or be iso≠ lated because of COVID≠ 19. The RL system also in≠ cludes a Æ ve≠ building Group/Greek housing com≠ munity and four buildings in the Greek Village being leased to fraternity housing corporations. Debbie Below, vice presi≠ dent of enrollment manage≠ ment and student success, said single rooms are in greater demand by students and spoke at length about dining choices. ì We provide a number of the most affordable and most Ø exible options when it comes to board rates be≠ cause we all eat differently,î Below said, noting South≠ east students have nine meal plan alternatives. Professional Pilot Fees were approved for the undergraduate degree in the new professional pilot program, which launches in the fall. Southeast is partnering with U.S. Aviation Group

(USAG) to offer classroom instruction and hands≠ on learning at Cape Girardeau Regional Airport. The programí s estimated cost is $66,030, including the following course curricu≠ lum: Private Pilot, Commer≠ cial Pilot, Instrument Rat≠ ing, CF1 Flight Instruction, CFII Pilot Course, Turbine Training and an optional MEI≠ Piper Seminole class. Regents were told 10 stu≠ dents are expected for the program in the Æ rst year, growing incrementally to 25 in the short term, with 60 students anticipated within Æ ve years. Ken Jackson, newly ap≠ pointed director of aviation operations for Southeast, expressed optimism about the program. ì Ití s a real career path≠ way,î said Jackson, a pi≠ lot himself and former superintendent of Dexter Schools, adding, ì If you will build it, they will come,î a reference to his belief that SEMOí s program will quickly attract students. Regent Vivek Malik, who self≠ identiÆ ed as a private pilot, wondered if the fee structure was a bit high, especially in comparison to St. Louisí Parks College, part of the St. Louis Univer≠ sity system, whom Malik said has lower costs for avi≠ ation instruction.

Third U.S. vaccine prompts question: Which is best? ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON ó The nation is poised to get a third vaccine against COVID≠ 19, but because at Æ rst glance the Johnson & Johnson shot may not be seen as equal to other op≠ tions, health officials are girding for the question: Which one is best? If cleared for emergen≠ cy use, the J&J vaccine would offer a one≠ dose op≠ tion that could help speed vaccinations, tamp down a pandemic that has killed more than 500,000 people in the U.S. and stay ahead of a mutating virus. ì I think ití s going to be huge,î said Dr. Virginia Caine, director of the pub≠ lic health department in Marion County, Indiana, which includes Indianap≠ olis. She expects the easi≠ er≠ to≠ use vaccine will give local officials more Ø exibil≠ ity for mobile vaccination clinics or pop≠ up events. The challenge will be explaining how protective the J&J shot is after the astounding success of the Æ rst U.S. vaccines. Two doses of the PÆ zer and Moderna shots were found to be about 95% ef≠ fective against symptomat≠ ic COVID≠ 19. The numbers from J&Jí s study are not that high, but ití s not an apples≠ to≠ apples compar≠ ison. One dose of the J&J vaccine was 85% protective against the most severe COVID≠ 19. After adding in moderate cases, the total effectiveness dropped to about 66%. ì I doní t think ití s a sec≠ ond≠ tier vaccine, but weí ve got to avoid that percep≠ tion,î said Dr. Thomas Bal≠ cezak of Yale New Haven Health System. The J&J shot was tested in the U.S., Latin Ameri≠ ca and South Africa at a time when more conta≠ gious mutated versions of the virus were spreading. That wasní t the case last fall, when PÆ zer and Mod≠

Importantly, the Food and Drug Administration reported this week that, just like its predecessors, the J&J shot offers strong protection against the worst outcomes. By 28 days after the injection, there were no hospitaliza≠ tions or deaths in study volunteers given the J&J shot, compared with 16 hospitalizations and sev≠ en deaths in those given a dummy shot. Independent advisers to the FDA on Friday dis≠ cussed J&Jí s study data ahead of a vote on whether to recommend widespread use of the vaccine, setting the stage for a Æ nal deci≠ sion within days. While J&J is seeking FDA authorization for its single≠ dose version, the company is also studying whether a second dose boosts protection. Panel member Dr. Paul Offit warned that launch≠ ing a two≠ dose version of the vaccine down the road might cause problems.

ì You can see where that would be confusing to people thinking, ë Maybe I didní t get what I need≠ ed,î í said Offit, a vaccine expert at Childrení s Hos≠ pital of Philadelphia. ì Ití s a messaging chal≠ lenge.î J&J representatives said they chose to begin with the single shot because the World Health Organization and other experts agreed it would be a faster, more effective tool in an emer≠ gency. U.S. cases and hospi≠ talizations have fallen dramatically since their post≠ holiday January peak. But Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Pre≠ vention, worries that new variants may counter those gains and cited increasing cases over the past three days. ì We may be done with the virus, but clearly the virus is not done with us,î Walensky said at a White House brieÆ ng. While ití s too early to tell if the trend will last, she said adding a third vaccine ì will help protect more people fast≠ er.î

President Joe Biden talks with a volunteer Friday at the Houston Food Bank in Houston.

Biden surveys weather damage ASSOCIATED PRESS HOUSTON ó President Joe Biden heard Æ rsthand from Texans clobbered by this monthí s brutal winter weather on Friday as he and his wife made their Æ rst trip to a major disaster area since he took office. Biden was briefed by emergency officials and thanked workers for doing ì Godí s work.î With tens of thousands of Houston area residents still without safe water, local of≠ Æ cials told Biden many are struggling. While he was briefed, Jill Biden joined an assembly line of volunteers packing boxes of quick oats, juice, and other food at the Houston Food Bank, where he arrived later. The presidentí s Æ rst stop was the Harris Coun≠ ty Emergency Operations Center for a brieÆ ng from acting FEMA Administra≠ tor Bob Fenton and state and local emergency man≠ agement officials. Texan was hit particular≠ ly hard by the Valentineí s weekend storm that bat≠ tered multiple states. Un≠ usually frigid conditions led to widespread power out≠ ages and frozen pipes that burst and Ø ooded homes.

Millions of residents lost heat and running water. At least 40 people in Texas died as a result of the storm and, although the weather has returned to more nor≠ mal temperatures, more than 1 million residents are still under orders to boil wa≠ ter before drinking it. ì The president has made very clear to us that in cri≠ ses like this, it is our duty to organize prompt and compe≠ tent federal support to Amer≠ ican citizens, and we have to ensure that bureaucracy and politics do not stand in the way,î said Homeland Security Adviser Liz Sher≠ wood≠ Randall, who accom≠ panied Biden to Houston. Biden was joined at the operations center by Gov. Greg Abbott and Sen. John Cornyn, both Republicans, four Democratic Hous≠ ton≠ area members of Con≠ gress and Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner and Har≠ ris County Judge Lina Hi≠ dalgo. Sen. Ted Cruz, an ally of former President Donald Trump and one of a handful of GOP lawmakers who had objected to Congress certi≠ fying Bidení s victory, was in Florida addressing the Con≠ servative Political Action Conference.

Cruz, who has been criti≠ cized for taking his family to Cancun, Mexico, while mil≠ lions of Texans shivered in unheated homes, later said the trip was a mistake, but he made light of the contro≠ versy on Friday. ì Orlando is awesome,î he said to laughs and hoots. ì Ití s not as nice as Cancun. Butí s nice.î At the peak of the storm, more than 1.4 million resi≠ dents were without power and 3.5 million were under boil≠ water notices in the na≠ tioní s third largest county. Before leaving Houston, Biden also planned to visit a mass coronavirus vacci≠ nation center at NRG Sta≠ dium that is run by the fed≠ eral government. Biden on Thursday commemorated the 50 millionth COVID≠ 19 vaccination since he took office, halfway toward his goal of 100 million shots by his 100th day in office. That celebration followed a mo≠ ment of silence to mark the passage earlier this week of 500,000 U.S. deaths blamed on the disease. Post≠ storm debate in Tex≠ as has centered on the state maintaining its own electri≠ cal grid and lack of storm preparation, including weatherization of key infra≠ structure.

WASHINGTON ó The Biden administration de≠ fended the U.S. military airstrikes in Syria as legal and appropriate Friday, saying they took out facil≠ ities that housed valuable ì capabilitiesî used by Irani≠ an≠ backed militia groups to attack American and allied forces in Iraq. John Kirby, the Penta≠ goní s chief spokesperson, said members of Congress were notiÆ ed before the Thursday strikes as two Air Force F≠ 15E aircraft launched seven missiles, de≠ stroying nine facilities and heavily damaging two oth≠ ers, rendering both ì func≠ tionally destroyed.î He said the facilities, at ì entry con≠ trol pointsî on the border, had been used by militia groups the U.S. deems re≠ sponsible for recent attacks against U.S. interests in Iraq. In a political twist for the new Democratic adminis≠ tration, several leading Con≠ gress members in President Joe Bidení s own party de≠ nounced the strikes, which were the Æ rst military ac≠ tions he authorized. Dem≠ ocrats said the airstrikes were done without autho≠ rization from lawmakers, while Republicans were more supportive. ì Offensive military action without congressional ap≠ proval is not constitutional absent extraordinary cir≠ cumstances,î said Sen. Tim Kaine, D≠ Va. And Sen. Chris Murphy, D≠ Conn., said lawmakers must hold the current administration to

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin speaks Feb. 19 during a media briefing at the Pentagon in Washington. The U.S. military conducted airstrikes against facilities in eastern Syria on Thursday that the Pentagon said were used by Iran-backed militia groups, in response to recent attacks against U.S. personnel in Iraq. the same standards as any other. ì Retaliatory strikes not necessary to prevent an imminent threat,î he said, must get congressional au≠ thorization. But Sen. Jim Inhofe of Okahoma, the ranking Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, backed the decision as ì the correct, proportionate re≠ sponse to protect American lives.î White House press secre≠ tary Jen Psaki told report≠ ers Friday Biden used his constitutional authority to defend U.S. personnel. ì The targets were chosen to correspond to the recent attacks on facilities and to deter the risk of addition≠ al attacks over the coming weeks,î she said. Among the recent attacks cited was a Feb. 15 rock≠ et attack in northern Iraq

that killed one civilian con≠ tractor and wounded a U.S. service member and other coalition troops. At the Pentagon, Kirby said the operation was ì a defensive strikeî on a way≠ station used by militants to move weapons and materi≠ als for attacks into Iraq. But he noted that while it sent a message of deterrence and eroded their ability to strike from that compound, the militias have other sites and capabilities. He said the strikes resulted in ì casu≠ altiesî but declined to pro≠ vide further details on how many were killed or injured and what was inside the buildings pending the com≠ pletion of a broader assess≠ ment of damage inØ icted. An Iraqi militia official said Friday the strikes killed one Æ ghter and wounded several others.

U.S. implicates Saudi crown prince in journalist’s killing BY ERIC TUCKER AND AAMER MADHANI

ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON ó Saudi Arabiaí s crown prince like≠ ly approved the killing of U.S.≠ based journalist Jamal Khashoggi inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, ac≠ cording to a newly declassi≠ Æ ed U.S. intelligence report released Friday. The Æ nding could escalate pressure on the Biden administration to hold the kingdom account≠ able for a murder that drew widespread outrage in the U.S. and abroad. The public blaming of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman amounted to an extraordinary rebuke and was likely to set the tone for the new administrationí s relationship with a country President Joe Biden has criticized but which the

White House also regards in some contexts as a strategic partner. The conclusion that the prince approved an op≠ eration to kill or capture Khashoggi, a critic of his authoritarian consolida≠ tion of power, was based on what intelligence officials know about his role in de≠ cision≠ making inside the kingdom as well as the in≠ volvement of one of his key advisers, Saud al≠ Qahtani, and members of his protec≠ tive detail, according to the report from the Office of the Director of National Intelli≠ gence. Officials also factored in the princeí s past support for using violent measures to silence dissidents abroad, the report said. As Democrats in Congress clamored for aggressive ac≠ tion, the State Department responded by announc≠

ing visa restrictions on 76 Saudi individuals involved in threatening dissidents abroad. ì As a matter of safety for all within our borders, perpetrators targeting per≠ ceived dissidents on behalf of any foreign government should not be permitted to reach American soil,î said Secretary of State Antony Blinken. The declassiÆ ed docu≠ ment was released one day after a later≠ than≠ usual courtesy call from Biden to Saudi King Salman, though a White House summary of the conversation made no mention of the killing and said instead that the men had discussed the coun≠ triesí longstanding partner≠ ship. The kingdomí s state≠ run Saudi Press Agency similarly did not mention Khashoggií s killing in its report about the call, rather focusing on regional issues such as Iran and the ongo≠ ing war in Yemen. The milder tone on the call was in contrast to Bidení s pledge as a candi≠ date to make Saudi Arabia ì a pariahî over the killing. Once in office, Biden has said he would maintain whatever scale of relations with Saudi Arabia that U.S. interests required. He also ordered an end to U.S. sup≠ port for the Saudi≠ led bomb≠ ing campaign in Yemen and said he would stop the sale of offensive weapons to Sau≠ di Arabia. Heí s given few details of what weapons and support he meant. White House press secre≠ tary Jen Psaki told reporters Friday the administration has been clear that it will ì recalibrate our relation≠ shipî with Saudi Arabia. Democrats, meanwhile, pressed for strong action. Rep. Adam Schiff, chair≠ man of the House Intelli≠ gence Committee, urged the Biden administration to make sure the report leads to ì serious repercussions against all of the responsi≠ ble parties it has identiÆ ed, and also reassess our rela≠ tionship with Saudi Ara≠ bia.î And Sen. Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat and Intelligence Committee member, called for conse≠ quences for the prince ñ such as sanctions ó as well as for the Saudi kingdom as a whole.

Cardinal players are eager to get to work this spring BY MICHAEL JETER

The St. Louis Cardinal pitchers and catchers re≠ ported to spring training on February 12 with the full squad required to arrive Æ ve days later.

balls, practicing swings, and throwing to get their arms in the needed shape to take on the 162≠ game season.

SEMO OL hoping simplicity equals success BY TOM DAV DA IS

SOUTHEASTT MISSOURIAN The 17 points scored by the Southeast Missouri State football squad in its lone fall game of the 2020 season (a 20≠ 17 loss at Southern Illinois) may not be eye≠ popping at Æ rst glance. However, con≠ sidering the Redhawks only practiced nine times prior to the game AND had a quar≠ terback playing in his Æ rst game with the program, the fact they amassed 334 yards of total offense ffense and averaged ff 5.5 yards per play really isní t half≠ bad. ì The game with SIU gave us some information that we needed,î seventh≠ year SEMO coach Tom Matukewicz said. ì Weí ve spent time trying to improve things and build

things. Now weí re at a point where letí s go put a marker out there. Letí s see if we have built a better team. Letí s see where we actually are.î The No. 23≠ ranked Red≠ hawks (0≠ 1) will get that opportunity on Sunday at 2 p.m. when they open a sev≠ en≠ game Ohio Valley Con≠ ference schedule at Eastern Illinois. SEMO returns 14 starters of≠ with eight being on the of fense. That latter number includes four offensive ffensive line≠ ff men and Matukewicz made it clear during this unusual winter training camp his ex≠ pectations for that position group this spring. ì That offensive ffensive ff ensive line group has really bonded,î Matuke≠ See SE SEMO O,, Page 2B O

It shouldní t come as a surprise that the majority of the Jackson wrestlers competing at the Class 4 Section 1 tournament on Saturday at Northwest (Cedar Hill) High School also played for the state championship≠ winning football team. ì Those two sports, I feel, go hand≠ in≠ hand,î Jackson head coach Steve Wachter said. ì Especially

if youí re a defensive foot≠ ball player, I would deÆ ≠ nitely be a wrestler. I like my wrestlers, especial≠ ly my upper weights, to play football. I like them to compete.

Fresno State soph≠ omore transfer Clive Truschel (6≠ foot≠ 3, 315) has the versatility and can move along the line at varying spots as a re≠ serve. The unit was the brunt of Matukiewiczí s wrath often during the 2019 season but he has liked how the group has per≠ formed in camp, in large part, because of who is teaching them. Matukewicz hired Arkansas≠ Pine Bluff of≠ fensive line coach Jason Onyebuagu a year ago and he recently used the term ì awesomeî in de≠ scribing ì Coach O.î ì What I have been impressed with is his ability to make things simple,î Matukewicz ex≠ plained. ì So our kids are playing fast and physi≠ cal.î Onyebuagu dove into the Æ lm of each player when he was hired in January of last year and he noticed something about his guys. ì I want those guys to play hard,î Onyebuagu said. ì If you are doing a bunch of thinking, then youí re probably not do≠ ing a bunch of playing.î Onyebuagu thought he would get 15 spring prac≠ tices, an off≠ season, and a training camp to develop his players. However, in the past year, the oppor≠ tunity to get on the Æ eld and develop through in≠ struction and repetition has been oft≠ interrupted, to say the least. However, both he and Matukewicz said they have made the most of the past few weeks and they feel positive about the group at this point. ì They have been doing a great job,î Onyebuagu said. ì They have a work ethic. They come out ev≠ ery day and try to attack it and get better. ì Chemistry in the of≠ fensive line is something that you are always try≠ ing to improve on and build, and I think we have done that.î Against SIU, the Red≠ hawks offensive line

Strength training is heav≠ ily emphasized in Jackson and he believes that it gives the Indians a substantial advantage over the com≠ petition. Parker said his bench press improved from 185 pounds last year to 245 pounds this year and he can now squat 405 pounds. ì It really gives us an ad≠ vantage over our opponents because we work so much more on strength than any other wrestling team in the state, I feel like,î Parker said. ì I think it works on both ends,î Wachter said. ì I think wrestling helps your football and I think playing football helps your wres≠ tling, especially with the way that we lift in football. Wrestling helps football because of all the physical contact and leverage that we do, pushing, pulling, tackle,

opened enough holes for its runners to gain 281 yards and only gave up one sack. ì The easier that we can keep things up front,î Onyebuagu said of his strategy for Sun≠ day, ì where we can make our calls, commu≠ nicate with each other, ití s simple and you know right away when you hear something that you know right away what your job is, you have a high percentage chance of executing your job.î

like double≠ leg, single≠ leg tackle. I think each sport helps the other one. For Coleí s instance, I think the strength≠ building that he had from the fall at football really helped his wrestling.î Bryant (27≠ 2) was a state qualiÆ er before but won his Æ rst district crown earlier in the month. ì His 1≠ 0 match in the semis was really good be≠ cause he had to ride the kid out in regulation time but he rode him out the whole period. That was a pretty outstanding win,î Wach≠ ter said. ì So he won two matches by a point, which at heavyweight, you have to wrestle and win at this stage of the game.î Garner (28≠ 0) and Griffin Horman (24≠ 2) were key members of the Jackson linebacker unit. The senior won the district champi≠ onship in his weight class while the sophomore placed

second. It took them a while after the state champion≠ ship game to transition from football to wrestling shape. They said the Tiger Classic, hosted by Cape Central, helped accelerated that process. ì I was in good shape for football,î Garner said, ì then you come here and youí re out of shape. I just need to get into way better shape for this than you need in football. In football, ití s a six≠ second play and here ití s a six≠ minute match.î ì Football is more strength and wrestling is more con≠ ditioning,î Griffin Horman said. ì Switching from that, going from a playoff game where everyone is hyped up and energy, you come to wrestling, you have to come for yourself and you have to rely on yourself to do things. You caní t rely on your teammates to make up for your mistakes.î Terry (20≠ 7), a sophomore who was a pass rusher on the football team, reached sectionals in only his Æ rst year as a varsity wrestler by placing fourth in districts. ì Tony is really getting a lot better,î Wachter said. ì Heí s really starting to un≠ derstand wrestling and feel wrestling really good. The young man that beat him for third place (Venable) last time beat him 9≠ 4 and wasní t really a close match. This time it came down to the wire, down to a take≠ down at the buzzer.î Wrestlers will have to place in the top 3 in their respective weight class in order to advance in the state tournament.

Other players taking live batting practice were out≠ Æ elders Lane Thomas and Justin Williams, who faced Alex Reyes and lefty Evan Kruczynski. Fellow outÆ elder Tyler Oí Neill took pitches from both Genesis Cabrera and Ryan Helsley. Oí Neill jokingly asked Cardinal coaches why he had to endure his Æ rst batting practice with such ì Ø ame throwers,î as he described both Cabrera and Helsley. Veteran shortstop Paul DeJong, second baseman Tommy Edman, and utility player Edmundo Sosa took swings against Kodi Whitley and Austin Warner. One thing that is very different looking, according to several reports, is how the usual large crowds there to watch the team are non≠ existent this spring due to COVID. Even the Cardinals President of Baseball Op≠ erations, John Mozeliak, and General Manager Mike Girsch have to keep their distance because of Covid≠ 19 protocols. Reporters, as well as cameramen, and other St. Louis Cardinal personnel, have to mind these protocols set by the state of Florida.

Nolan Arenado arrived at spring training about a week before the rest of the St. Louis Cardinalsí posi≠ tion players, trying to get accustomed to the time change of Florida from his home on the West Coast along with learning his way around his Æ rst new team in a dozen years in pro base≠ ball. Turns out the time change has been every bit the challenge of the new or≠ ganization. ì I was hurting there for a while,î Arenado admitted, ì but Ií m good now.î The Cardinals hope he can be great. They were quiet almost the entire offseason, the grand sum of their moves amounting to the re≠ sign≠ ing of erstwhile ace Adam Wainwright and a couple smaller transactions. But that all changed in the weeks before camp, when they got into serious talks for what became a three≠ team deal with the Rockies and Mets to land the star third baseman. Suddenly, the Cardinals had pulled off one of the biggest acquisitions in baseball, solidifying their lineup with a Æ ve≠ time All≠ Star and three≠ time home run champion while mak≠ ing them one of the favor≠ ites to win the NL Central. ì For sure, ití s been great,î said Arenado, who was Æ ≠ nally joined by the rest of the roster for the Æ rst full≠ squad workout of camp ear≠ lier this week. ì If anything, I doní t know what some of their faces look like (be≠ cause of masks), but other than that ití s smooth sail≠ ing. Weí re talking outside in the tents, sitting 6 feet apart but still communicating, talking about the game, and I love it. The coaches are

No wonder the Cardinals, who were looking to up≠ grade at third base, turned their attention immediate≠ ly to him, then pulled the myriad strings ñ including bringing another club into the mix ñ that it took to con≠ summate the trade. ì I suspect the excitement will only grow when people get to see him day≠ in and

day≠ out,î Mozeliak said. ì My approach when you bring in an ew player is to let them take a deep breath. Let them breathe ñ Ií m not hovering over him, follow≠ ing him like a small puppy. Ií m just letting him adjust to this camp. ì I saw him this morn≠ ing as I got coffee,î Moze≠ liak continued, ì and I just said, ë Hey, howí s it going?í He said, ë Ití s going great.í Thatí s it. But I think heí s excited to be part of this camp, this team. Ití s a big commitment on both sides.î Arenadoí s early arrival at camp also allowed him to bond with Nolan Gorman, one of the organizationsí top prospects, who proba≠ bly had plenty of questions when the Cardinals traded for an established player at his position. ì The Æ rst few days I was in the same (hitting) group as him before camp started. We went golÆ ng together, got to hang out,î Arenado

said. ì Heí s an extremely talented player with big power and heí s going to help us win a lot of games. ì The trade stuff is a big adjustment,î Arenado ad≠ mitted, ì but heí s working hard at second base, third base, everywhere, and he seems all≠ in. He wants to contribute. Thatí s what you want on your team.î Thatí s all Arenado wants to do, too. Notes: The Cardinals had their annual pitcherí s Æ elding practice competi≠ tion Wednesday. The team captained by Miles Miko≠ las and featuring Jordan Hicks, Matthew Liberatore, Tyler Webb and Tommy Parsons wound up win≠ ning. ì The draft strategy was high upside pure up≠ side early, with Hicks,î Mi≠ kolas said. ì Then I wanted to get Webb in there, some≠ one real solid, very funda≠ mental. And then pick out some young guys to round out the team, some youth and bounciness.î

Bluejays roll Saxony for 11th straight BY BRENT SHIPMAN

STANDARD DEMOCRAT BLOOMFIELD ó To put Charlestoní s decade≠ plus of district dominance into perspective, the last time the Bluejays didní t come home with a championship, several players on their current squad werení t old enough to enroll in kinder≠ garten. Even in this year of uncertainty, Charleston showed in no uncertain terms Thursday night that theyí re still the team to beat. Led by Rico Colemaní s 16 points, the top≠ seeded Bluejays easily handled sixth≠ seeded Saxony Lu≠ theran 68≠ 31 in the Class 3, District 2 title game to bring their streak to 11≠ straight district championships. ì We played great,î Charleston head coach Jamarcus Williams said. ì Ever since we had that long break, the emphasis has been playing hard. Thereí s no time to waste. ì At this point in the sea≠ son, this is when we want to be playing our best bas≠ ketball. That all has to do with our effort and trying to control the way we want the game to go.î A game≠ opening 3≠ point≠ er from Evontrez Hill set the tone and ensure the Bluejays would lead wire≠ to≠ wire. Hill Æ nished the quarter hitting three shots from be≠ hind the arc as Charleston built a 16≠ point lead to end the frame. The Crusaders used four timeouts in the Æ rst half to stop the bleeding, but by halftime, the Bluejays en≠ tered the locker room with a comfortable 40≠ 16 advan≠ tage. ì We thought weí d make them hit jumpers from the outside,î Crusaderí s head coach Justin Callahan said. ì What do they do?

Hope≠ fully, ití s a learning experi≠ ence for our kids.î Charleston won the turn≠ over battle 22≠ 9. They held Saxony to 9 of 25 (36 per≠ cent) shooting inside the arc and 12 of 36 (33%) over≠ all from the Æ eld. Luke Nichols forced the Crusaders into three steals on a night where the Blue≠ jays Æ nished with 11. ì We watched Æ lm,î Wil≠ liams said. ì I know they like to run their offense at their pace, so the whole game plan was to speed the game up and make them uncomfortable. ì We made them take shots sooner than they wanted to and catch it in spots they didní t want to catch it in.î After Hill connected on his Æ rst three attempts from long range, the Blue≠ jays cooled down consider≠ ably, Æ nishing the rest of the night 1 of 18 from be≠ hind the arc. However, inside the arc, Charleston connected on a much more reliable 21 of 30 attempts (70 percent), shooting 25 of 51 (49 per≠ cent) overall. The Bluejays won the bat≠ tle of boards 29≠ 20.

After taking a 24≠ point lead into halftime, Charles≠ ton continued to pull away. A string of three≠ straight baskets to start the second half allowed the Bluejays to head into the Æ nal frame with a 30≠ point lead, 59≠ 29. Another 6≠ 0 run to start the fourth ensured a tur≠ bo≠ clocked Æ nish. ì Too often, we play at inconsistent levels,î Wil≠ liams said. ì It gives teams conÆ dence that we think we should run off on; we ha≠ vení t done that enough this season. ì At this point in the sea≠ son, we caní t take the risk of letting teams play with us if we feel they shouldní t. We just wanted to come out and set the tone.î Colemaní s 16 points came on 5 of 10 shooting, with the sophomore adding three re≠ bounds, a steal, and a block to his night. Hill was second on the team with 13 points, includ≠ ing his game≠ high three 3≠ pointers. Fletravion Stanback was the third Bluejay in dou≠ ble≠ digits with 10 points to go with four boards and three assists. For Saxony, Jacob John≠

soní s 10 points were a team≠ high. Aaron Zoellner and Wilson Lodge both had Æ ve rebounds to lead the team. Despite the disappointing Æ nish, the Crusaders got to the title game with a 43≠ 41 upset over second≠ seeded Scott City in the semiÆ nals. ì Year in and year out, Charleston is the cream of the crop around her for our sized schools,î Callah≠ an said. ì Ití s the most ath≠ leticism weí ve seen. Our schedule is pretty tough, especially early in the year with Class 4 and 5 teams. ì None of them have that athleticism, and if you doní t see it in practice every day or more on your sched≠ ule and all the sudden you come out here, and there it is, ití s hard.î

Southeast Missouri State kicker Kendrick Tiller, middle, kicks off at practice last fall. How well his replacement will do this spring remains a mystery. BY TOM DAVIS

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN When it came to the Southeast Missouri State kicking game in 2019, seventh≠y ear Redhawk coach Tom Matukewicz didnít sweat that aspect of play very often. Kendrick Tiller made 13 of 14 Æ eld goals un≠ der 40 yards, as well as booting the second≠l on≠ gest kick (55 yards) in Redhawk history, while punter Jake Reynolds was just as steady. He averaged over 40 yards per kick, forced 29 fair catches and landed his kicks inside the 20≠ yard line 20 times. ì It was a complete strength of the team,î Matukewicz said of those two players. Tiller and Reynolds did what they were sup≠ posed to on AND off of the Æ eld, as they both graduated and land≠ ed good jobs and have moved on to the next stage of their lives. No. 23≠r anked SEMO will open its seven≠g ame Ohio Valley Conference spring schedule on Sun≠ day at Eastern Illinois at 2 p.m. and how the kick≠ ing game performs is an unknown at this point. ì Itís a toss≠up ,î Matukewicz said of the position group, ì and that has probably been affected more than any≠ thing by not being able

to go outside in the last two weeks.î The Redhawks had limited opportunities to practice recently, with snow covering both of their Æ elds. Matukewicz had his team do work indoors at various facilities, but that doesnít really help the kickers. As the snow melted this week, the Redhawk kickers were able to get outside and get some ac≠ tual repetitions in. ì (On Monday),î Matukewicz recalled, ì we kicked a bunch and it looked bad, both punt≠ ing and kick≠ offs and Æ eld goals. ì And it probably should look bad. Weí ve been in a winter storm.î SEMO landed an expe≠ rienced kicker in Kenny Doak, who will handle Æ eld goal duties and is currently in a battle with Western Kentucky trans≠ fer Adam Krause for kick≠ off duties. Doak transferred last month from Maine and his special teams coach has conÆ dence in him. ì I have high expecta≠ tions,î SEMO assistant coach Matt Martin said, ì because we have good players (kicking). ì The nice part about Kenny is he has played in a lot of football games. He has played in the FCS Playoffs, so he is an expe≠ rienced guy.î

Doak made 24 Æ eld goals in three seasons with the Black Bears and connected on all 40 of his extra points in 2019. ì Weí re excted to have him and show him off this spring,î Martin said. In an October game at Southern Illinois, Mar≠ tin utilized both Krause and redshirt freshman Zach Haynes as punters. Both players have dif≠ ferent strengths and Martin plans on looking at both all spring. ì We have two good punters,î Martin said. ì Those guys are going to hold the punting duties down again.î The key to all of that is the snap and Martin has the ultimate conÆ dence in returning long≠ snap≠ per Cam Boyle. ì He really is one of the best long≠ snappers in FCS football,î Martin said. ì We are blessed to have him back for anoth≠ er season.î

Quick trip The COVID situation has wreaked havoc on a lot of different areas of SEMO football over the past year and Sunday will be no dif≠ ferent. The Redhawks will ven≠ ture back to their high school days and travel to Charleston, Illinois on the day of the game. ì One of the challenges is that we are going to travel on the same day,î Matuke≠

wicz said. ì Weí re going to get up early, drive up, eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, go play some ball, get on the bus and come home.î Matukewicz said both the pandemic and its impact on Æ nances are playing a role in this decision. ì It is certainly some≠ thing, as the head coach, weí re trying to make sure our players understand how to get ready, travel the day of (the game), and get ready to compete.î

Runnin’ Redhawks Matukewicz said a big concern of his during the past couple of weeks was his teamí s physical prepa≠ ration. SEMO was unable to practice for one week due to the weather and Matukewicz said physical conditioning will go a long way in determining which team wins on Sunday. ìW e havení t prepared like we normally would have,î Matukewicz said. ìT hat is just the world we live in.î The coach explained that this week his team incor≠ porated an extra session of running and new strength coach Ryan Napoli altered the style of strength train≠ ing to increase the athleteí s heart rates during sets. ìO ur players understand that we have to be in great shape,î Matukewicz said, ìs o I feel like we are going to be OK.î

Redhawks falter late at EIU

Redhawks

From Page 1B

Ití s not how a team starts, but how it Æ nishes. Short≠ handed and bedev≠ iled by injury, Southeast Missouri State (14≠ 10, 12≠ 7 Ohio Valley Conference) came out Æ ring Thursday at Eastern Illinois, as it built a 9≠ 0 lead and still led 25≠ 19 at halftime. However, the Redhawks ultimately were unable to seal the deal, as their solid start was followed by a di≠ sastrous second half. The Panthers went on a 28≠ 12 run in the decisive third quarter and never looked back, as EIU (11≠ 13, 9≠ 10) prevailed 65≠ 57. With the win, EIU clinched a spot in the up≠ coming OVC Tournament. ì I really loved our Æ rst half Æ ght, but you caní t turn the ball over 22 times the way we did tonight,î Redhawk coach Rekha Pat≠ terson said following the loss. The Panthers were 0≠ for≠ 9 in 3≠ point shooting and were outrebounded by SEMO, but outscored the Redhawks in two important metrics. The Panthers had a 24≠ 3 edge in points off turnovers and had a whopping 48≠ 22 advantage in points in the paint. EIU held its biggest ad≠ vantage, 57≠ 43, midway through the 4th period. SEMO, which lost the season series to Eastern Il≠ linois, was confounded by

thers (9≠ 17, 6≠ 13 OVC) isní t eye≠ catching. In reality, Eastern Illi≠ nois was playing very good basketball of late, having won AT Murray State and AT Austin Peay in the past week. On the surface, earning one of the eight spots in the leagueí s postseason tourna≠ ment may not seem impres≠ sive. In reality, SEMO hasní t made the event since 2017. ì Weí re celebrating,î Korn said following the win. ì Ií m never going to take any≠ thing for granted.î Thursdayí s win improved SEMOí s record to 10≠ 15 overall and 8≠ 11 within the conference. That may not jump out at anyone, but consider this: If SEMO wins at SIUE on Saturday, the nine OVC wins will be just the second time in the last eight years this program has reached that point, and only the third in the past 13 years. ì We want to Æ nish Æ rst in this league at some point,î Korn said. ì There are obvi≠ ously steps and processes and everything else that goes along with that. But to try to act meek or coy or cool or eighth isní t good enough, Ií m not doing that. Forget that.î Thursday was notable in many ways. SEMO won on the road (and against a hot team) for just the second time this season and it did so in the most impressive way possi≠

Two other Redhawks Æ n≠ ished in double Æ gures, as Sophie Bussard and Deanay Watson each had 12 points.

ble: With toughness down the stretch. Eastern held a 17≠ 0 free throw attempt advantage with 11:47 remaining in the game before the Redhawks began to attack with more aggression offensively. ì Honestly,î Korn said, ì we were soft at the begin≠ ning.î The Redhawks werení t late. Over the Æ nal 11:47, SEMO sank 20 of 27 free throws and no one was more impressive in that re≠ gard than redshirt junior guard Nygal Russell. Russell is a 50 percent free≠ throw shooter, but made 8 of 10 on Thursday, including six consecutive in the Æ nal 46 seconds, as the Panther strategy of fouling him speciÆ cally, failed time and time again. ì I just left him in,î Korn said of his strategy with Russell. ì Typically, we play offense≠ defense. He saw the Æ rst couple go in and you just build conÆ dence that way.î Russell had a remarkable, all≠ around night. He took just two shots and missed both. However, he played 24 minutes and Æ nished with eight points, grabbed a game≠ high nine rebounds, and dished out Æ ve assists. ì That is a huge game for Nygal,î Korn said. A 9≠ 0 Æ rst≠ half run pro≠ pelled Eastern to a slim margin that it held until the Æ nal minutes. With 7:40 remaining, the Panthers led by Æ ve (70≠ 65) after shooting nearly 60 percent in the opening half. However, the Red≠ hawks began to stiffen de≠

fensively and over the next 6:13, forced Eastern into Æ ve missed shots and three turnovers. The late defense and free throws, packaged with an other≠ worldly offensive per≠ formance from Eric Reed Jr., was enough. Reed sank 7 of 9 3≠ point≠ ers and totaled 27 points. ì Heí s been phenomenal for us,î Korn said of Reedí s play of late. ì I feel so com≠ fortable with him.î SEMO got 14 points (in≠ cluding 9 of 12 free throws) from sophomore guard DQ Nicholas, while Nana Akenten (11 points), Chris Harris (nine assists), and the post≠ duo of Darrious Agnew and Nate Johnson combined for 20 points and eight boards in 31 minutes. Korn is the Æ fth coach to guide this program at the NCAA Division I level in his Æ rst season with the pro≠ gram and only Gary Garner won more than nine games (he won 10, while Scott Ed≠ gar won nine). SEMO has a shot at Æ nish≠ ing seventh in the 12≠ team league. ì This is a huge moment for our program,î Korn said. ì Ití s a huge moment for our staff. Ití s a huge mo≠ ment for those kids, espe≠ cially in a year like this. ì Weí re celebrating this and it should be celebrated. All I know is that we were picked dead last in this league (in the preseason). Not one person picked us any higher than dead last. For us to be going back to Evansville, which we set a goal to do, we will cele≠ brate that and be extremely proud of it.î

What does Cape Girardeau have in common with a small town in Ohio COMMUNITY / 2C

THROUGH THE WOODS Survivor of the cold

Rush Limbaugh created, followed plan for success BY JON K. RUST

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN Rush Limbaugh captured the attention of the country as he rose to fame, and peo≠ ple in his hometown of Cape Girardeau had a front row seat. They not only listened to him on the local radio sta≠ tion, but many grew up go≠ ing to school or church or playing sports with him, and

they followed his career as he continued to visit the town to keep up with friends and family. It was not uncommon to have his private jet land at the Cape Girardeau Region≠ al Airport, bringing him for a visit (which often includ≠ ed golf) or to pick up family for get≠ togethers elsewhere. During the last months of his mother Millieí s life in 2000, Rush regularly broadcast his national show ó without fan≠

fare ó from the KGIR/KZIM studios in Cape Girardeau. On May 25, 1993, a few years after Limbaugh skyrocketed to national radio success and best≠ selling books ó which had followed many years of prior struggles, both person≠ ally and professionally ó the Southeast Missourian pub≠ lished a 24≠ page commemo≠ rative edition explaining his accomplishments. Today, we reprint excerpts

from those stories inside. See pages 6 and 7. We also include some of the earliest articles where Rush ó called ì Rustyî at the time ó Æ rst appeared in the Missourian, as well as in his high school newspaper. These articles represent a look at Limbaughí s early ca≠ reer and his ties to Cape Gi≠ rardeau. They do not dwell on his revolutionary talent or sometimes controversial

comments. Those stories appear on the cover of this Good Times section. Finally, on page 8, is a Southeast Missourian story from 1987, written just be≠ fore Rush achieved national success. In this story, he out≠ lines to readers of the South≠ east Missourian his plan for a new kind of media. Ití s re≠ markable in hindsight how much he stuck to that plan over the next 34 years.

If Rush Limbaughí s life offers a lesson for anyone ó no matter their background, no matter how small or big a town they might come from, no matter how they might initially fail ó it is that America is a land of opportunity. We hope you enjoy these stories from our archives. For the complete stories (and more), visit www.semisourian.com/rush≠ limbaugh.

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN Rush Limbaughí s high school newspaper, The Ti≠ ger, might have been the Æ rst newspaper to feature his passion for radio. The fol≠ lowing article comes to our attention from Sue Jackson Cook, who graduated from Cape Girardeau Central High School in 1968 ì a year before Rush.î Cook sang in the musical group, The Cho≠ raliers, with Rushí s mother Millie, and her brothers were school friends with Rush and his brother David. The story, written by student Jan Seabaugh and published Oct. 20, 1967, is reprinted courtesy of the Cape Girardeau Public School District.

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN One of the Æ rst stories about Rush Limbaugh, born Jan. 12, 1951, in the Southeast Missourian (not counting birth announce≠ ment or class Æ eld trips) was an Aug. 11, 1965, ar≠ ticle that focused on his friendship with Los Ange≠ les Dodger Maury Willis: ì Rusty Finds Wills A Star Off Diamond.î The article recounted how ì Rustyî Limbaugh, starting as a 9≠ year old, became regular pen pals with ó and then in 1965 met ó the Dodger great.

ìH ereí s a song for a sweet little thing named ë Susie!í î comes a deep, masculine voice out of the speaker of the radio. Who would ever guess it belonged to a Central stu≠ dent known to his teach≠ ers as Rusty Limbaugh, but known to his thou≠ sands of admiring fans as RUSTY SHARPE. When asked why ì Rusty Sharpeî was chosen for his ì radio personality,î Rusty stated, ì I wanted an adjec≠ tive that could have a dou≠ ble meaning ó you know, a pun≠ type thing. I just looked in the phone book and came up with Sharpe.î Rusty was ì just interest≠ edî so he went out to the station and applied for a job as disc jockey. But be≠ fore he was eligible for the position he was required to obtain the Æ rst class ra≠ dio≠ telephone (AM or FM

broadcast) license. In or≠ der to achieve this, Rusty set out for the Elkins Insti≠ tute of Radio and Electron≠ ics in Dallas for a Æ ve≠ week training program in theo≠ ry and electronics. As to entering this Æ eld professionally ì Sharpeî nonchalantly commented, ì Oh, I Dunno. Depends on how successful I become.î Rusty feels that the most interesting part of his work is ì playing around with the control board. Thereí s still a lot to learn about it.î By far the most difficult part of his job is time. Ev≠ erything has to be timed to the second ó if thereí s 2:08 before the news comes on, Sharpeí s job to Æ nd a record exactly 2:08. There is no planned program to follow ó the D.J. runs the whole thing. ì Everything is ad≠ lib, and just starting out I some≠ times Æ nd that hard to do. Ií ve found that if you caní t think of something to say, keep your mouth shut and run a commer≠ cial or something,î Rusty confessed. In order to be a disc jock≠ ey, Rusty has had to give up football, and sometimes (horror of horrors!) doing all his homework assign≠ ments. He feels that ití s worth the sacriÆ ce, though. He will be paying his dad back for the trip to Dallas until January, and after that ì it will be clear proÆ t.î ì Where can I hear this Sharpe guy?î asks one of those poor souls who doesní t know where the action is.

faith/community Get out of the way

he snow had drifted in places up to a foot, and I hadní t gone to work all week. Now, it was Friday, we planned to celebrate one of my coworkersí birthdays, and I wanted to be there. Even though the driveway was snowed shut, I didní t think it would be a problem. The night before, my dad had told me how to drive out of the driveway without getting stuck. Thinking I knew how on my own and didní t need to hear his plan, I didní t listen closely. You guessed it: the next morning while backing out of the driveway, I got my car stuck. My dad saw me inching my way forward only to have to throw it in reverse and lose the ground Ií d gained in hopes of gathering momentum as I got myself stuck in a rut, deepening it each time I pulled forward or back≠ ward. Without me even asking, he came outside, motioning for me to get out of the driverí s seat so he could help. When it proved too stuck to move without shoveling, I brought out the shovels. My dad started shoveling snow like a madman. I could see no clear method to what he was so conÆ dently doing. ì What can I do to help?î I asked, snow shovel in hand at the ready. ì Get out of the way,î he

said. At Æ rst, I was offended by what seemed like an abra≠ sive comment: I like doing things for myself, enjoy the satisfaction of understand≠ ing how something works and knowing I am the one who accomplished it. It is off≠ putting to me when ití s suggested that I caní t do something for myself. But, as I accepted my dadí s answer and watched him much more efficiently and determinedly shovel the snow with a plan in his mind I wasní t privy to so we could both get out of the driveway on schedule, it occurred to me: some≠ times, it is nice to let some≠ one do something for me. It is nice to be someoneí s child and to be childlike in receiving the gift. I doní t al≠ ways have to do everything for myself or by myself;

Go to church with a purpose

I can allow myself to be taken care of. My dad got my car unstuck and out of the driveway, and this has me thinking: If a human fa≠ ther can express this type of love and capability, how much more can our God, our heavenly father? Yet, we are co≠ creators of our lives with God, and I am always wondering how much of my life is up to me and how much of it is up to God. As I was driving to work, I asked God what my role is in situations like the one Ií d just experienced. The thought came into my mind: ì You got it stuck ó thatí s enough.î Ha ha, I thought, but then I realized the truth of it: My contribution of getting the car stuck was enough. My desire to drive out of the driveway set it all in motion for my dad to come help me when Ií d made a mess of things. His help allowed me to drive out of the driveway, fulÆ ll≠ ing my original hope and desire to go to work and be with my friends on a fun day. If I hadní t acted on my desire to go or had called it off before my dad started shoveling, I wouldní t have gotten to go. Getting it stuck was enough. My dad showed me: The things that matter to us matter to God. Like a child, we can do what we can. And then, get out of the way.

Influence from generations unknown R

ecently I received a copy of my distant grandfatherí s immigration papers. He arrived in the United States from Prussia in 1854. I have relished having a copy of this piece of my familyí s history. Of the many things this copy of immigration papers means, it also is a stark reminder of how my life will impact a generation I will never know. Just as my distant grandfather shaped me. The Bible tells us in Deuteronomy 6 the promises of God are for generations. Godí s promises delivered were to be embraced by ìy ou, your son, and your soní s sonî ( Deuteronomy 6:2). The promises of God are not just immediate but are legacies. Godí s promises in your life are to reach a generation you will never see. We need to realize the impact parents have. If God has entrusted you with children ó f or they are a blessing from the Lord (Psalms 127:3) ó then He has gifted you with inØ uence. You will shape the thinking, the

heart, and the lives of the children entrusted to you. The question is, how? An absent father leaves a devastating wake in the lives of their children and the generations that follow. An engaged parent is not guaranteed a child will be emotionally and mentally healthy. But the child with the involved set of parents is light years

hese have been chal≠ lenging times for churches. Recently, the weather forced us to cancel services at Bethany Baptist Church. Our parking lot is a great place to go sledding, but not for parking when there is ice or snow. The el≠ derly members are commit≠ ted to church attendance, so they will not stay home un≠ less we cancel the services. This is for safety like it was with COVID≠ 19. Now there is a vaccine, and it is time to get back to church. There are many factors preventing people from at≠ tending church besides the above risks. Many people do not see a purpose for organized religion. Others may not have found the right church for them or their family. I know of some individuals who became disillusioned by immoral leaders or conØ ict within a church. They have difficul≠ ty trusting another leader or congregation. A lot of people get out of the habit, and it is easier to sleep in on Sunday mornings ó un≠ less they have to go to work. Church has been a vital part of my life since I made a commitment to Jesus as my Savior as a 12≠ year≠ old. This past year is the most I have missed church since then. I have heard many people praise online worship, but there is much more to a church than listening to a speaker or music. Many authors, such as Rick Warren, have iden≠ tiÆ ed at least Æ ve purposes of a local church. I believe all Christian congregations need to see to it that they are fulÆ lling these pur≠ poses. Most of us can use improvement in some if not all these areas. First, worship is a pur≠

pose of a church (these are not ranked in a particular order). When we speak of online worship, we may mean different things. I know some people listen to the sermon while they are doing other things. True worship is expressing our adoration and praise to God. We are the actors and God is the audience. It is hard to watch people onstage and not feel like a member of the audience, but worshippers are more than that. Worshipping with other people helps us to realize we are not alone in our faith. A second purpose is ministry. There are many ministries going on in our community. Some churches are partnering with other churches and organizations to meet the needs of the community. Local churches minister to the needs of their members as well as outside of their congre≠ gations. Few churches, if any, hand out money but most Æ nd ways to feed the hungry and clothe the poor. I consider weddings

more prepared for the rigors of life than a child trying to Æ gure things out on their own. The promises of God are to be poured into children and grandchildren in a way that helps them to thrive. One of our societyí s fallacies is we expect children to make adult decisions absent the inØ uence of their mothers and fathers. Likened to handing over the car keys to a 16≠ year≠ old and telling them to drive across the country without any direction. Could they Æ gure it out? Sure. Would they be in a better place if you showed them where to go, how to get there, gave them money for gas and a map with the best places to stop and eat on the way? Absolutely. Parents are the primary inØ uences in a childí s life. God designed family that way. Living out and sharing Godí s promises extends them to genera≠ tions you will never see. Godí s promises are for you, your children, and your childrení s children.

and funerals to be forms of ministry. A third purpose is evangelism. For me, this, along with prayer, is a key to everything we do. Jesus commanded us to go and make disciples. A way to deÆ ne the word is, ì to tell good news.î A motivational message and good music are not evangelistic wor≠ ship without key compo≠ nents. In Christian worship, the gospel or story of Jesus is central to why we gather. He cared for people, so we attempt to minister to needs. Jesus said doing things for people who face difficult circumstances is like doing those things for him. Missions and evange≠ lism go together. A fourth purpose is fellowship. For many of us, food is involved with our fellowship. I have heard Christian fellow≠ ship described as, ì Doing life together.î Being with like≠ minded believers is good for our mental, and spiritual health. When we choose to avoid going to church, we miss out on relationships that can be beneÆ cial. People usually go to church because some≠ one invited them. The Æ fth purpose is discipleship. Sometimes we miss the difference between discipleship and evangelism. We tell someone about Jesus and how they can be saved (Romans 10:9≠ 13), then we move on and do not main≠ tain contact with that per≠ son. This often happens at evangelistic events although some try to connect the new converts to local congrega≠ tions. A disciple is a lifelong learner. Jesus is the main example, and we help each other to be like him. We need to go to church

ARMCHAIR HISTORIAN

What does Cape Girardeau have in common with a small town in Ohio This blog was originally posted Thursday, Oct. 15, 2009

hen it comes to placenames, Cape Girardeauí s town founder, Louis Lorimier, got the short end of the stick. Lorimier doesní t have much named after him: just a street, two cemeter≠ ies and a school building that isní t a school anymore. Meanwhile, Jean B. Girardot, who had only a Ø eeting connection to the area, got lucky as the namesake for the whole town, plus the county. His≠ tory can be so unfair. Lorimier, however, hasní t been completely ignored by mapmakers. He does have a town named after him, just not in Missouri. The town is Fort Lora≠ mie, Ohio, located north of Dayton in Shelby County. Americans have always had trouble spelling French names. We couldní t get Girardot right, and the Ohioans couldní t get Lorimier right. Despite the weird spelling, the Lorim≠ ier/Loramie name is all over the town. Ití s the name for a creek, a lake and a state park. Ití s the name for a school district, complete with po≠ litically≠ incorrect Redskins mascot. Ití s also the namesake for a hardware store, which, like many of the storefronts on Main Street, looks like a slice of May≠ berry. The modern≠ day town of

JAMES BAUGHN James Baughn was the webmaster for the Southeast Missourian and en≠ joys studying local history.

Fort Loramie dates to the 1830s, when it was settled by German immigrants. The Loramie name, howev≠ er, is much older. In 1769, Louis Lorimier and his father established a trading post just north of the current town. Louis, also known as Peter or Pierre during this time, was apparently quite suc≠ cessful at trading with local Indian tribes. Lorimier had a good thing going, but it was threatened by Americans encroaching from the east and trying to drive the Indians out. Soon Lorim≠ ier found himself on the wrong side of the Revolu≠ tionary War. Louis Houck writes that Lorimierí s store was ì the center of Indian and British intrigues, and many Indian foraging expeditions were equipped there.î

According to Houck, Lorimier joined 40 Shaw≠ nee and carried out a raid into Kentucky in 1778, kidnapping Daniel Boone in the process. Boone was taken to the Shawnee vil≠ lage of Chillicothe where he later escaped. The Americans, of course, werení t too keen on Lorimierí s activities. Gen. George Rogers Clark dispatched Col. Benjamin Logan to take care of the problem. Loganí s troops burned Lorimierí s store to the ground in 1782, forcing him to Ø ee with his life. Various estimates put Lorimierí s losses at anywhere from $20,000 to $70,000. Regardless of the exact amount, Lorimier was Æ nancially ruined. Lorimier reportedly Ø ed to a safe haven at Wapako≠ neta, Ohio, before moving west to seek a new life in Indiana. Not much is known about his activities in Indiana, but it appears that he racked up a bunch

of debt. He then moved to Missouri and enjoyed bet≠ ter success, soon regaining his Æ nancial standing. By 1793 he came to a place called Cape Girardeau; we all know the rest of the story. Meanwhile, back in Ohio, the Lorimier/Loramie name had stuck, despite his exodus. The site of Lorimierí s store was at a strategic location along a major trade route between the Ohio River and Lake Erie, a route that would later become a canal. The location occupied a stretch of high ground, called Loramieí s Summit, that was the highest point along the route and required a portage between two rivers. In 1798, taking advantage of the strategic location, General Anthony Wayne ordered the construction of a fort here. The fort became known as Fort Loramie, a rare example of See BAUGHN, Page 10C

DEAR ABBY

Man takes umbrage at women who are stingy with thanks Dear Abby: I am a male read≠ er with a complaint. Have you noticed women hardly ever EANNE compli≠ ment men? HILLIPS On ANY≠ THING! They expect men to com≠ pliment them but never reciprocate. If you move furniture, take them out for a nice dinner, buy tickets to their favorite show, buy them a gift, they doní t have enough manners or couth to say thank you or express appreciation. Getting a compliment is like pulling teeth from a great white shark while heí s feeding. Doní t women ever think, ì Maybe I should say something to HIM instead of expecting him to say it to meî ? Where do they learn this be≠ havior? Are they taught this growing up? Or do

J P

they just not care or even realize? Shaking My Head in New Jersey Dear Shaking: My late mother, God rest her soul, once commented to me that people with ì classî never use that word. In this case, I will make an exception and tell you individuals of both sexes who have class were taught from early childhood the magic words ì pleaseî and ì thank you,î and to express gratitude. I doní t know what kind of women you are involved with, but Ií m suggesting it is time to upgrade the quality. Do not spoil anyone who isní t willing to spoil you right back. Dear Abby: Iív e been going to the same poke joint for more than Æ ve years now. Several of the employees have worked there for years. I feel at this point, I should know their names, but they donít wear name tags, and Iím e mbarrassed to ask what their names

are after so many years. They donít know mine either, but they know enough about me to ask how my son is doing or how my work is going. I like calling people by their names, but Ií m a little shy and awkward and doní t know how to ask. Should I just keep our weekly (sometimes bi≠ weekly) exchanges at surface≠ level chitchat without worrying about what their names are? Friendly in the West Dear Friendly: You can certainly do that. It has worked for you so far. However, if you would like to know the employ≠ eesí names, just say you are ì terrible with names, and embarrassed to even have to ask after all this time, but ... what is your name? My name is (insert name).î Dear Abby: Ií m getting married next month, and Ií m so nervous. What can I do to not be scared? Cold Feet in Florida

Dear Cold Feet: I wish you had been more forthcoming about what you are worried about. Is it the wedding ceremony and your wedding day? If thatí s the case, have faith you and your Æ ance will make it through together because you WILL. Is it your wedding night? A talk with your doctor should allay your fears. Is it you are unsure about the person you are marrying? If thatí s the case, postpone the wedding and schedule premarital counseling for you and your intended. In some religions, the clergy recom≠ mend this type of counsel≠ ing so issues like money and child≠ rearing can be discussed and not cause serious problems later.

Rush Who? Rush Limbaugh … love him or hate him … has single handedly put the bustling Mississippi riverfront community of Cape Girardeau, Mo., on the map. … When a team from the National Enquirer racked up Day Two in a mission to uncover the skeletons in Rush’s closet, one reporter called his editor in Florida complaining, “This guy’s vanilla.” (Apparently gathering information for the article was an undercover operation because the reporters first identified themselves as freelance book writers and then as representatives of foreign publications. …) So who is the man who piques the interest of even the National Enquirer? The most-listened to radio talk show host in the world, Rush Hudson Limbaugh III was born Jan. 12, 1951, in Cape Girardeau, the son of Mildred and Rush Limbaugh Jr. Brother David, now an attorney and city councilman, arrived almost two

years later. Rush always wanted to be in radio. Always. …

Rush is Right … Very Very Right When Rush Limbaugh is “on,” the seemingly boundless energy virtually crackles across the airwaves ... radio and television. But interviewing him, the bluster is gone and he just sounds charming. He agreed. “I am always nice and calm and quiet,” he said …

Rush: With Talent On Loan From God In public, liberals call him rightwing. They may call him something else privately. The national media call him talk radio’s bombast king, the patron saint of white male chauvinists. Feminists call him obnoxious and gays say he’s shameful. Call him what you want, Rush H. Limbaugh III has become talk radio’s most phenomenal successful host in history, the guy with the guts to balance the biased national new media, to stick up for the poor abused middle class male, to ram a thorn into the side of the new administration. …

The athlete.

Rush Is Hot The Rush Limbaugh [TV] show is the fastest-growing new show and is among the top three late-night TV shows. He consistently beats David Letterman, Arsenio Hall and CBS Prime Time. All Limbaugh has to conquer are the longstanding Nightline and the Tonight Show. … His radio broadcast attracts 14 million weekly via 600 stations and the number is growing. His monthly newsletter has more than 270,000 paid subscribers and his book, “The Way Things Ought to Be”, has sold 2,281,000 copies. Rush is hot. …

Millie Limbaugh’s Very Famous Son Millie Limbaugh, mother of the nation’s most controversial – and most popular – radio talk show host in history, was playing bridge with friends at the country club one day when someone called her and said he had just heard her son refer to her crowd as “the blue-haired, bloodyMary-drinking, bridge players at the country club.” Millie was indignant. “There’s not a blue-haired one in the bunch!” she retorted.

Nursery school 1955

Rush in Pittsburgh

Otherwise, she is nothing if not proud of her son Rush Limbaugh. … Her son has become such a celebrity that Millie is now a veteran at giving interviews. So much has been written about Rush that she has filled three scrapbooks “but it’s gotten beyond me.” …

His First Audience … A Grand Total of One David Crowe met Rush Limbaugh when they were three. Their activities included games and a lot of radio. “Rusty would hook up the CB radios and his 45 turntable and play songs over the CB,” Crowe said. “He loved to pretend he was a disc jockey. He would rattle off some commentary and play me a song. Then he would ask, ‘How did that sound?’ I guess you could say that I was his first radio coach and his first broadcast audience.” …

The Man Without Any Family Skeletons Craig Valle’s friendship with Rush has spurred calls and visits from journalists. “It started with a feature in Vanity Fair,” Valle said. … “It’s not difficult to talk about

ABOVE MIDDLE: Brothers David and Rush Limbaugh when boys and then early in Rush’s career

Rusty. He doesn’t have any family secrets or skeletons. He has never been in trouble … never done anything bad to anyone.”

The Fuzzball Kid Makes The Big Time Growing up in Cape Girardeau meant many an afternoon playing fuzzball behind the Limbaugh home. “The guys in the neighborhood would get together and play ball for hours,” said Steve Miesner of St. Louis, a boyhood pal of renowned radio personality Rush Limbaugh. … “Rusty had a heck of a tape recorder for a kid our age. He used to record everything. … Rusty was excellent at imitating voices and creating sound effects. He was so creative and meticulous. He would add the sound of screeching tires and opening doors. Whatever happened to come out was recorded on audio cassette. It was pretty funny to play them back.” …

His Dad’s Responsible By Sen. Peter Kinder It all started with Rush Jr. Rush H. Limbaugh, Jr., 19181990, attorney, father and namesake of the most listened-to radio talk show host ever, was one of Cape

Girardeau, Missouri’s most unforgettable characters. An extremely close friend of our family and my father’s attorney, Rush Jr. influenced me enormously in my early years as well. Rush III credits having grown up in his father’s household for his having acquired his now famously formidable analytical powers, as well as his passionate interest in politics, government and current events. There were no half-measures for Rush Jr.; whatever he believed, he believed passionately. He had opinions on just about everything, and a ferocious capacity for sharing them as a nearly unmatched advocate.

Rush Limbaugh … He’s One of a Kind It’s no surprise to Rush’s brother, David, that Rush has made it big. “Since the time he was very young, Rush has always been determined to succeed in radio. Even as a child, he had lofty goals, including becoming a top deejay in one of the top ten radio markets,” David noted. “He has always been a voracious reader and acquired his keen interest in politics from our father, who also taught him to think on his feet and not to accept unquestioningly information he acquired through reading, radio or television. He got his quick

wit and performer’s personality from our mother. “In my opinion, it is the combination of all these attributes that have enabled Rush to become so successful. If you would eliminate any of them, whether it be his wit, his political insights, his talent as an entertainer or his unique ability to express himself, you would not have Rush. That’s why other less versatile people who may try to emulate him inevitably will fall short. “Merely being politically conservative, though essential to Rush’s media persona, will not be enough to ensure the success of imitators.”

Limbaugh enjoys life at top in controversial radio show BY TAMMY RADDLE

STAFF WRITER

Early in his life, Rush ì Rustyî Limbaugh III re≠ belled against doing what was expected of him. He rebelled against his well≠ known Cape Girardeau familyí s expectations of going to law school ì or≠ for≠ heavení s≠ sake≠ just≠ finish≠ college.î Now, a grown man, Lim≠ baugh is still rebelling against doing what is expect≠ ed. The result, much to his own surprise, has been one of the most successful radio shows in the nation. His show, which airs on KFBK in Sacramento, Cali≠ fornia, not only has people talking ó it has people yell≠ ing. It has people phoning his station trying to get him Æ red. And Limbaugh couldní t be happier. ì I really doní t think Ií m as outrageous as everybody thinks I am,î says Lim≠ baugh, though heí d never admit it publicly. He says his show is based on his own philosophy about media. And that philosophy is that people doní t want to be edu≠ cated, they want to be enter≠ tained. ì EVEN IF ITí S NEWS, peo≠ ple want to have it present≠ ed in an entertaining way,î said Limbaugh in a recent telephone interview with the Southeast Missourian. Limbaugh listened to a lot of talk shows over the years, and he consistently found one thing wrong with them ó the hosts are too depen≠ dent on their guests for pro≠ viding the showí s entertain≠ ment. ì The great rule of talk shows is that you have to have guests and you have to interview them. But I think thatí s boring. I doní t feel comfortable or trusting in that. If you get a bad guest, youí re stuck with him for at least an hour. The worst that can happen in radio is for people to tune out. I doní t want to take that chance,î says Limbaugh. Instead, heí d rather gam≠ ble on himself. And thatí s what he does every week day from 9 a.m. to noon. ì ITí S JUST ME AND THE PHONES and total sponta≠ neity,î says Limbaugh en≠ thusiastically. ì Every call is a new excitement.î But callers who phone into Limbaughí s show caní t ex≠ pect that they will be treated with courtesy or even re≠ spect for their ideas. ì I see myself as a benevo≠ lent dictator,î explains Lim≠ baugh. ì Nobody has any rights on my show but me. Nobody has the right to be dull and boring and ruin my show.î Limbaugh calls his show ì issue≠ oriented.î Critics call him shallow and a stoolie for

the Republican Party. ì Really, my purpose isní t to get people mad,î says Lim≠ baugh, ì Even though that happens. The way I Æ gure it, whatever I say, at least half the people are going to dis≠ agree with my anyway. I Æ g≠ ure I might as well say what I think.î But even Limbaugh admits that he doesní t say exactly what he thinks. ì I guess I put my tongue in my cheek a lot, to get a re≠ sponse,î agrees Limbaugh. But Limbaugh says heí s careful not to make the same mistake that other call≠ in show hosts have made. ì A LOT OF TALK SHOW HOSTS become phone de≠ pendent. They judge the number of people listening by how many calls they get, and they start gearing their show to the caller instead of the listener,î said Limbaugh. But Limbaugh says the problem with that is that sta≠ tistically only about 1.5% of the audience is actually go≠ ing to call in. ì I have 48,000 people lis≠ tening, but a maximum of 30 calls in three hours. The lesson to be learned is to be clear... your empathy has to be with the listeners, not the callers. You caní t pander to people just to get them to call you,î says Limbaugh. The Cape Girardeau native began his show in Sacra≠ mento two years ago, but he notes that ití s been in the last year and a half that it has ì really snowballed.î ì The Æ rst year and a half was a time of people getting used to me,î says Limbaugh, noting that meant even his own employer getting used to him. As it so happens, KFBK radio is owned by the same people that own the Sacra≠ mento Bee newspaper, which Limbaugh describes as being very much affiliated with the Democratic party. NOT A LIKELY FORUM FOR his very Republican po≠ litical views. ì But the truth is Demo≠ crats like money as much as anybody,î says Limbaugh. ì The show is making money, so (theyí ve) been very fair and open≠ minded with me.î In radio lingo, Limbaughí s show is rated number one with a 10 share in the adult audience of 18 and over. There are 28 radio stations in his market. ì The closest thing to me is an easy listening station,î says Limbaugh, noting heí s not quite sure of the ramiÆ ≠ cations of that fact. For the radio station, the success of Limbaughí s show has meant that its advertis≠ ing rates during his time slot have jumped from $40 to $100 per minute. For Limbaugh, he admits the experience of being num≠ ber one is both thrilling and scary. ì This has been the greatest opportunity for me. This is the Æ rst time Ií ve ever done a show like this, though this is what I always wanted to do,î says Limbaugh. Thatí s not to say heí s new at radio. As a matter of fact he start≠ ed in radio in Cape Girardeau as a teenager at KGMO≠ AM. His dad was part owner of the station. From Cape he went on to Pittsburgh, and heí s been at several major markets since.

Athletes From Page 1C ì s it turned out, I had lunch A with him two days, and on the third day went out after the game, along with Wes Parker,î s aid Rusty. When Rusty met Wills six years ago, a story appeared in the South≠ east Missourian about the grow≠ ing friendship, with a Æ nal sen≠ tence of the article stating: ìA bove all, Wills has shown that athletes do care.î ìT hatí s one of the primary rea≠ sons for my writing this letter,î noted Rusty. ìI remember that last line of the article, and I would like to reinforce that statement at this time. Last Tuesday, I received a call from a nurse at Presbyterian University Hospital, asking me to come give a morale boost to a 20≠y ear≠ old girl who had just un≠ dergone surgery.î ìI had an idea, more like a brain≠ storm at this point, though. I called Maury and explained the situation to him and asked if he would go

ì BUT I GOT TIRED OF BEING A DISC JOCKEY in about 1975. I Æ nally quit ra≠ dio and went to work with the Kansas City Royals in publicity,î recalls Limbaugh. While in Kansas City, Sac≠ ramentoí s KFBK approached him about heading west and starting a radio show. Limbaugh says he didní t really have a speciÆ c blue≠ print in his head for the show he wanted to develop, but he had some pretty strong ideas about what he wanted. ì I had a lot of political bat≠ tles to Æ ght. I had to resist a lot of efforts of those who wanted to get guests on my show. But I always knew the type of personality I wanted to be and this show Æ nally gave me the opportunity to try it,î says Limbaugh. But where does the ì radio personalityî end and the real Rush Limbaugh begin? ì I hope the public never Æ nds out. Thatí s part of the mystique of radio. Ití s the theater of the mind. I want people to always be guessing and wondering. The truth is the line between the person≠ ality and me is a Æ ne line. I have a performerí s ego. Thatí s why I wasní t really a good PR person. PR people stay behind the scenes and make other people look good. I always wanted to make my≠ self look good. To do that, you have to act a little,î Lim≠ baugh theorizes. ì SOMETIMES I DO MAKE MISTAKES or go too far. Ití s instinctive. Mostly I try to make sure I doní t go over too many peopleí s heads. I do a lot of tongue in cheek things, and most people get it and think ití s funny. The others get mad and call in to the show and entertain the rest of us. There are al≠ ways neighborhood groups popping up trying to get me Æ red,î he laughed. To keep control over his show, Limbaugh has calls screened before putting them on the air. But he ad≠ mits screening isní t always effective. ì Sometimes people will tell downright lies to get on the show. That can make it even more fun once you get them on the spot,î he says mischievously. Being number one isní t all fun, though. ì Being number one is a lot of pressure. Every morning when I wake up I wish I could call in sick. It just lasts for a Ø eeting second, but I doní t want to go in. Luckily right now Ií ve got a lot of self≠ con≠ Æ dence, and conÆ dence can get you past anything. But for the Æ rst time in my life Ií m number one. Getting to be number one isní t nearly as difficult as staying there,î says Limbaugh. He says he lives with a lot of self≠ pressure to keep the show fresh. ì YOU LIVE AT THE TOP for a couple of years normal≠ ly. And when you slip, youí ve lost it. The trick will be stay≠ ing on top,î said Limbaugh a bit nervously. Looking back on his life, though, Limbaugh says ití s interesting how everything in a personí s life can bring him to a speciÆ c point. ì If my father hadní t owned a real small portion of KGMO, things might have turned out differently. If I hadní t despised school so much, things might have

along. I was surprised, but he said he would be more than happy to accompany me. ì He brought a box of baseballs with him and after visiting the girl, we went to the childrení s ward, where he signed the base≠ balls and gave them to the kids. Ií ve never seen such excitement among children as I saw that af≠ ternoon. ìT his took about four hours of Willsí time on this particular af≠ ternoon, but he was all smiles the entire time. Ií m sure he was about as excited as the kids. Maury went back to the hospital that night, af≠ ter the game, to take the 20≠ year old girl an autographed picture, which he had promised that after≠ noon.î Wills went 0≠ for≠ 4 during the game, but ì he said he really didní t mind that too much,î com≠ mented Rusty. ì The Dodgers had won the game, and he had made a lot of people happy that after≠ noon.î So, athletes do care, and as the 1965 article states: ìW ills has shown this,î on more occasions than one.

My fa≠ ther enabled me to learn the radio business and get my own radio show back then. That was luck. I fell into it,î recalls Limbaugh. But he notes his family had certainly never anticipated that what they saw as just a distraction for their son would ever become his career. ì My parents felt I would eventually grow tired of radio. They never really put any pressure on me to go to law school, but there was a lot of pressure for me to get some sort of a degree. They felt I couldní t provide for myself without a degree. I thought I knew everything and didní t need college,î says Limbaugh, still convinced that he was right. HE TRIED COLLEGE THOUGH, to please his par≠ ents, but ì got Fí s.î His life was not without ed≠ ucation, though. ì I really consider the great≠ est education I ever got was from my dad. I never told

him that. But I really think I learned more just from the times that we would sit down and talk and argue than I did in any other way,î says Lim≠ baugh. He feels for certain that the political discussions he heard around the dinner table while growing up have had a deÆ nite impact on his radio career and on his pres≠ ent show. ì Ií m basically doing the same thing we did at the din≠ ner table. Throwing ideas out, talking about them, ar≠ guing about them. Ití s maybe just not quite as civilized,î says Limbaugh. What would his family think of his show? ì I think politically, they would agree with it. But they would have a problem with the way people are treated on the show. If this show were on the air in Cape Girardeau, there would be outrage in the community. Thereí s outrage here, too, but I doní t think ití s nearly as pronounced as it would be in the Midwest,î says Lim≠ baugh.

LIMBAUGH IS ALSO EX≠ PANDING his media hori≠ zons. Heí s now writing a weekly newspaper column, and is doing a television show on which he and liber≠ als debate issues. He says he would like to do a television version of his ra≠ dio show. ì I think it would be great, doing a show with a live au≠ dience and the telephone. Ití s something that hasní t been done,î says Limbaugh, add≠ ing that he would also like to see himself with a national show in the next three to Æ ve years. ìB ut that would just about take a network contract, and I doní t know if the net≠ works are ready for a show like this yet,î observed Lim≠ baugh. Still, he says, he thinks a network contract is possible. ì Really my show is no more outrageous than David Letterman. Ití s controver≠ sial, but real humor comes from controversy. Ií m con≠ vinced I could do it,î con≠ cludes Limbaugh.

DEDICATION Rush H. Limbaugh III signs an autograph before touring the Rush Hudson Limbaugh Sr. Federal Courthouse in Cape Girardeau after its dedication Oct. 6, 2008. Behind him is his cousin, U.S. District Judge Stephen N. Limbaugh Jr.

simple sugars for seven days in concentrations equivalent to a soft drink. Others had no added sugars in their diet. At the end of the week, the mice on the sugary diets developed colitis that was far more severe than the sugar≠ free mice. The gut microbiomes of all the sugar≠ fed mice were signiÆ cantly altered, with a marked increase in bacteria that degrade the layer of protective mucus lining the gut. Whether eating sugar erodes the protective mu≠ cus in the guts of humans remains to be seen, but these Æ ndings are intrigu≠ ing. And considering we already know too much added sugar has an adverse

impact on heart health, blood sugar control, inØ am≠ mation and even on mood, we think cutting back would be good not only for your gut, but also for your general health.

evidence added sugar in the diet can lead to IBD, and also make existing disease worse. Americans eat an estimated 65 to 70 pounds of added sugar per year, the highest rate in the world. Considering the U.S. ac≠ counts for from one≠ third to one≠ half of all cases of IBD worldwide, ití s easy to see how the IBD≠ sugar connec≠ tion became a subject of inquiry.

Baughn From Page 4C a fort named after a former enemy! After the fort was aban≠ doned, a town eventually developed near the site. It was Æ rst called Berlin by German immigrants, but the name didní t stick. Be≠ fore long the town reverted to the old name of Fort Lo≠ ramie. With its position on

the Miami and Erie Canal (completed in the 1840s), the town thrived. By the beginning of the 20th Century, the domi≠ nance of the railroads put an end to the canal, which was Æ nally wiped out by a catastrophic Ø ood in 1913 and never rebuilt. Since then, Fort Loramie has remained as a small but pleasant town with a popu≠ lation around 1,300. The site of Lorimierí s store is said to be located on a farm north of town. Just beyond Loramie Creek, a

driveway leads west from Highway 66 to a farmhouse and barn surrounded by cornÆ elds... Despite Lorimierí s check≠ ered past, he did play roles in the histories of both Ohio and Missouri. How many towns can boast of a town founder with such a colorful history? This is the kind of story, especially the part about kidnapping Daniel Boone, that would make excellent fodder for a novel or movie. So what if our town is named after the wrong person?

Wise sayings or advice

own through the years, Ií ve heard some wise sayings and advice from a lot of folks. Most of this came from old timers who have been around the block a time or two. Now and then a young whipper snapper will come up with sound advice or a wise statement, but ití s the old timers who I tend to listen to. Growing up, the old timers would say heí s still wet behind the ear to designate a young person without experience. Here are a few of the sayings Ií ve come across from my years on this earth. Doní t buy a horse thatí s saddled and sweaty and tied to the fence when you get there to look him over or try him out before you buy him. The horse might be hard to catch so heí s already tied up. The horse might be hard to saddle so heí s already saddled. Heí s sweaty so he just might tend to buck before heí s warmed up. Letí s leave him loose in the corral and let me catch him and saddle him and let me get the kinks out. Or be wary of a warm car thatí s sitting there idling when you show up. It might be hard to start or even knock a little when Æ rst started. Check the tires and see if one of the front tires is low. A low

Morgue From page 4C PaciÆ c Fleet for two years and received his advance≠ ment to lieutenant junior grade. He then took up naval aviation and won his wings at Pensacola. He was sent to Cuba and then became a Ø ight instructor, serving several years at Pensacola and San Diego, California. Two years prior to Pearl Harbor, he was assigned as an air officer on the carrier Lexington and was on that ship when it was sunk in a battle with the Japanese in the PaciÆ c May 8, 1942. He commanded the naval air activities in Tokyo Bay during this period and later took command of the carrier Cowpens, which was the Æ rst U.S. carrier to enter Tokyo Bay. He was relieved from duty Dec. 13. He is credited with being the Æ rst victorious American Navy man to set foot on Japanese home soil in this war and raised the Æ rst American Ø ag. Capt. Duckworth has been presented with this Ø ag and also a sword symbolic of the surrender of the Japa≠ nese forces at Tokyo. After taking over the carrier Cowpens, Capt. Duckworth commanded the ship on three cruises back to the States transporting troops home.

front tire tends to tighten up loose steering. What do you smell when you open the door? Dryer sheets give the interior a good smell, but it covers up a lot. Check the oil. Money is easy to spend especially if ití s someone elseí s money. Darn true. There are a lot of people who really like to spend money. As a matter of fact, even I do. Ií ve always wanted state of the art Æ sh Æ nders on my boat. That is until I found out how much they cost. Boy, they are

The new carrier carries a normal compliment of 3,500 officers and men, and its beam is so great that it cannot be taken through the Panama Canal.

Youngest captain When elevated to the rank of captain early in the war, he was said to be the young≠ est officer of that high rank in the Navy. Capt Duckworthí s family resides at Coronado, Cal≠ ifornia. His wife is from Newport News. They have two children, Eloise Kilby, 18, and John Albert, 16. A brother, Lieut. Comm. Samuel Duckworth, recently received his discharge from naval service at New Orle≠ ans and is now preparing to enter a dredging business in New Orleans. A nephew, Lt. Albert Steinbeck, is chief engineering officer aboard the destroyer Coney in the PaciÆ c. Two years before the death of their father, A.S. Duckworth, all three children returned to Cape Girardeau to help their parents celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary. The Missourian sent photogra≠ pher G.D. Fronabarger to cover the event, and this photo was published June 25, 1956. (Photo is at right.) Herbert Spencer Duck≠

expensive. I think where I have to pay for them, Ií ll just Æ sh by trial and error. If I catch them, there were Æ sh there and, if I doní t, I was Æ shing in the wrong spot. Be wary of those who want to spend your money or entice you into spending. For pity sake, doní t be≠ lieve everything you read. We ordered some insulated boots off of Facebook, and they were a good buy. Too good. They got our money, and we never got the boots. Every year I get catalogs from a dozen to two dozen gardening books. Each one has their own varieties of plants. Ií ve bought seed from some companies, and the tomatoes I grew didní t resemble what was described. They must have sent me the wrong seed. Be wary of whatí s printed as the gospel truth. And doní t believe everything you hear. There are some people who can look you in the eye and lie like the rug by the front door. And, honestly, if the preacher on Sunday morning says such and such as yourself, does it jibe with the Bible? If it doesní t, call him on it! I roast my own coffee beans, and Ií ve bought from the same company for more than 20 years with one exception. That exception wasní t what was described,

tation as being a little less then honorable. One group is horse salesmen. They buy a horse that someone is wanting to sell, but if it was a good horse, why was it sold? Red Ø ags! It might be crippled or have a health problem, or it just might be more horse then the old owner wanted. You might just be cowboy enough to ride it. Another group is used car salesmen. As a whole they are probably honorable, but then there are some snakes in the grass who could care less. My advice is buyer beware. Never judge a cake by how it looks. Ií ve tried to eat some of the best looking cakes and couldní t get a bite down without a gulp of water. Bone dry. Ií ve also eaten cake that didní t look like much, but I ended up wishing Ií d gotten two pieces. Moist and full of Ø avor. Darn good. Ií m not a cake eater, so it takes a good cake to impress me. Hold judgment as far as ap≠ pearance goes. This is true on everything. Ií ve always been suspicious of three≠ piece suits and fancy shoes. Ií ve always liked calloused hands and weathered skin. I still like someone who will look me in the eye and shake my hand. There is a kind of saying up where I grew up: ì Doní t

tell me show me.î It seems like we have way too many chiefs running around and not very many Indians. Way too many bosses and not enough workers. Ií ve been at construction sites where they were pouring concrete, and there were 10 men standing watching while maybe Æ ve were working. Or Ií ve shingled houses, many years ago, and there were more on the ground telling you how, but never climbing the ladder to help. Simply shut up and show me! Ií ve always enjoyed muz≠ zleloaders and the movies from that period. Ií m not much on many of the new movies coming out today. I enjoy the old ones. In ìJ eremiah Johnsonî o ne old feller said to ìw atch your topknot.î G ood advice. Keep your powder dry. Also good advice. Keep your gun clean. Really true if ití s a muzzleloader. When you go to make snow ice cream, watch for yellow snow. When out in the woods, when plants have three leaves, leave them be. Always have a box of soda on your kitchen range in case of an oil Æ re. Good cooks always have a bacon grease can on the stove. If you have some I missed, drop me an email. Have a great week.

and I wasní t impressed. I tried some coffee beans given me a month ago or so. They were old and stale. The beans were roasted so all I had to do was grind them and brew some coffee. The ground coffee was stale and old, and the brewed coffee was pathetic. I dumped it. Just because it says on the can or the bag ití s fresh, check it out. It might have been fresh months ago. I trust a reliable source. Be faithful to a long≠ time estab≠ lished business. Come spring the grass will be green and growing, and everyone is going to need a good lawnmower. If ití s for sale, then ask why? If ití s such a good mower, then why is it for sale? I had a mower for sale back 20 years ago, so it was back in about 2000. It was a good mower, but the thing was it was made in 1976 so it was say 24 years old, and it had been used hard and put up wet. You answer an ad about a lawn mower for sale. When you drive up, the yard is mowed slick, and ití s pretty. The per≠ son says he mowed it just yesterday with the mower thatí s for sale. He cranks it up, and it runs like a top, but thereí s nothing to mow. Buyer beware! Now some groups of sellers have gotten a repu≠

Dear Sam

Resume, interview and job search advice.

Laid off? How to avoid common mistakes in building your brand. Dear Sam: I have read several of your columns and was intrigued by your ability to improve a resume. After 12 years with my current company, I was recently informed that my position is going to be eliminated. Having not updated a resume or being interviewed during that time, your thoughts on modernizing a resume are of great interest. I saw you had mentioned several times that the resumes you receive are often outdated in format. Could you share what a current resume format looks like? I want to try to get this correct the first time and get back in the workforce. ± Paul Dear Paul: Thank you for your readership; I would be happy to share more about the structure of a best practicesbased resume, and I am sorry to hear of your impending layoff. First, determine what direction you will take your career as this plays a vital role in building your brand. If you have not figured this out, it is time to do so, as, without that key target, you will not know where to aim your resume and its content.

Next, start writing down the basics. Remember that hiring managers will want to know about the last 10-15 years or so of your career, so focus on your most recent roles. Think about your jobs not only in terms of what you did every day, but most importantly, what you did that added value to the company. If you have access to past job descriptions, performance reviews, letters of recommendation, or anything else that will help jog your memory, now is the time to use those resources, preferably before you leave. Start talking to current and past co-workers, not only to build your job search network, but also to reach out to those that may have valuable information on what you did that added value to your employer. Once you have the basics drafted, carefully craft your resumeí s content and design, being sure to not fall victim to often-committed branding mistakes. Your resume should be structured as followsº Heading: Include your name, cell phone number, and personal

email address. We omit physical addresses these days and list the city and state of residence. Home phone numbers are increasingly rare, so if you have a mobile number, only list that as a preferred method of contact. Be sure your email address does not contain numbers that look like birth years nor uses what could be seen as an ì olderî carrier (sorry, AOL and Hotmail). Qualifications Summary: Up-to-date resumes open with qualifications summaries, serving as an executive summary of the information contained throughout the remainder of the resume. As an experienced professional, you should have a two-page resume, making the qualifications summary critical to the four-to-seven-second screening process. Take the time to make this summary market you well, conveying why a hiring manager cannot afford not to bring you in for an interview.

course, what most relates to their needs. Be sure to focus on the last 10-15 years of your career, particularly if you apply for a position that does not necessitate more experience. Structure your content with more focus on accomplishments versus responsibilities, realizing that many of your competitors may be coming from similar roles with identical job descriptions. Your achievements or key contributions are what are unique about your candidacy. Read rest of Sam’s answer on www.nolanbranding.com/blog

Professional Experience: When reviewing your career, remember that hiring managers are much more interested in what you have done recently, and of

REAL ESTATE NOTEBOOK

A snapshot of race and home buying in America Over the next few weeks we will take a look at race and home buying The 2020≠ 2021 coronavirus pandemic caused severe economic turmoil last year as households and businesses had to adopt various social≠ distancing measures. Millions of people lost their jobs due to the shutdown orders while many of them are still unemployed. Unfortunately, job losses have been disproportionately seen among African≠ American/Black Americans and Hispanic/ Latino Americans. Ultimately, the economy will improve later this year as the COVID≠ 19 vaccine becomes available to more Americans and a new stimulus package is under negotiations. The booming housing market was a welcome surprise amid the pandemic. In fact, home sales activity rose to its highest in 14 years in 2020, contributing significantly to the recovery of the U.S. economy. Excepting the importance of the housing sector on the economy, research has consistently shown that homeownership

is associated with multiple economic and social benefits to individual homeowners. Homeownership has always been an important way to build wealth. According to the Federal Reserve, the net worth of a homeowner was $255,000 while that of renterí s was $6,300, as of 2019. That being said, the net worth of a typical homeowner is 40 times the net worth of a renter. In addition to tangible financial benefits, homeownership brings substantial social benefits for families, communities, and the country as a whole. Owning a home is associated with better educational performance in children, higher participation in civic and volunteering activity, better health care outcomes and lower crime rates in the communities. Nevertheless, not all families have the same opportunities for homeownership, with many facing more constraints in their effort to achieve the American Dream. Indeed, there are sizeable differences in the homeownership rate across racial groups, with the rate of homeownership for minority families lagging behind the national average. Given

that homeownership contributes to wealth accumulation and that the homeownership rate is lower in minority groups, data shows that the net worth for these groups is also lower. At $188,200, the net worth of a typical White family was nearly eight times greater than that of a Black family ($24,100) in 2019. A recent 2021 report on race and home buying completed by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) examines the homeownership trends among each racial group in the last 10 years. Since all real estate is local, homeownership opportunities vary by area. Thus, the report also examines where most of minority homeowners are located and which areas are more affordable for these households. Finally, using the National Association of REALTORSÆ Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers data from 2020, the report looks into the characteristics of who purchases homes, why they purchase, what they purchase, and the financial background for buyers based on race. Over the next couple of weeks, we will examine minority homeownership and why it

stubbornly lags behind the national rate, with Black Americans facing some of the toughest hurdles to achieving this essential part of the American Dream, according to the National Association of RealtorsÆ . The homeownership rate for Black Americans ñ 42% ñ is nearly 30% less than the rate for white Americans ñ 69.8%. The U.S. homeownership rate stands at 64.2%, with the rates for Asian and Hispanic Americans at 60.7% and 48.1%, respectively. For more information, visit the Southeast Missouri REALTORSÆ website, www.semorealtors.org. REALTORSÆ not only help make the dream of homeownership a reality, they also help build better communities. Southeast Missouri REALTORSÆ is a not for profit organization that serves more than 425 REALTORSÆ and affiliates and we are the local voice of real estate in our community.

SNOW DAMAGE

The deadly winter storms that have wreaked havoc across much of the U.S. can also damage trees and shrubs BY LEE REICH

ASSOCIATED ATED PRESS A The deadly winter storms that have wreaked havoc in large swaths of the country recently can also damage trees and shrubs. Snow can of course en≠ hance the look of yards and gardens, visually knitting together the plants, fences, even lawn furniture in a sea of white. But it also can bring down branches. Or worse, snap a major limb on a tree or split a bush wide open. Most trees and shrubs will recover from such trauma, sending up new sprouts in the spring to replace missing limbs. But there are steps you can take to mitigate the damage and help the plant heal. There also are ways to help protect trees from the weather.

Tree first aid The ragged edge from a broken branch exposes a lot of surface area, which slows healing, so cut back any break cleanly to leave a surface that heals better. Many gardenersí Æ rst inclination, however, before doing any pruning, would be to save what is broken, merely putting the broken limb back in place and hold≠ ing it there the way a doctor sets a broken bone. It can be done, just as if it were a large graft. As with any graft, success is most likely if plant parts are lined up, held still and not given the opportunity to dry out. So attempt this Æ x immediately, especially for evergreens, which lose wa≠ ter through their leaves all winter. Re≠ align the break and then immobilize the joined parts with stakes and splints. After binding every≠

Leave the ì castî in place throughout the next grow≠ ing season. Keep an eye out for strangulation from the bindings, slitting and reap≠ plying them if they become too tight. Depending on the size of the branch, it may need some staking for an additional year. Thereí s really no harm in attempting to ì setî a broken

limb. If the repair fails, the plant most likely will send out a new sprout below the break, just as if you had cut it back. In that case, do cut the broken stub back cleanly. Pines are among the few trees that will not send out new sprouts from old wood. You can sometimes still coax such a plant back to its former glory by bending a younger branch near the break to about the position of the lost limb. The stub from the lost limb makes a convenient handle on which
