Area counties Crews battle fire Wednesday at former Broadway Theatre see slight declines in jobless rates Cape Girardeau County numbers are still higher than pre-pandemic levels BY JAY WOLZ

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN The employment pic≠ ture in Cape Girardeau County continues to im≠ prove, according to the latest data released this week by the Missouri De≠ partment of Labor and Industrial Relations. Elsewhere in Southeast Missouri, the new unem≠ ployment report indicated slight unemployment≠ rate declines in most counties by fractions of a percent≠ age point. Februaryí s coun≠ ty≠ by≠ county jobless data, released by the state Tuesday, places Cape Gi≠ rardeau Countyí s latest unemployment rate at 3.9%, down four≠ tenths of a percentage point from Januaryí s 4.3% rate. The number of initial unemployment beneÆ t claims Æ led by unem≠ ployed workers in the county also declined from 554 in January to 427 in February. Although it was lower for the third consecutive month, Cape Girardeau Countyí s February un≠ employment rate was

still higher than pre≠ pan≠ demic levels; in January and February 2020, the countyí s jobless percent≠ ages were 3.5% and 3.2%, respectively, before climb≠ ing to 9.5% in April as thousands of businesses throughout the region closed ó either perma≠ nently or temporarily ó because of the COVID≠ 19 pandemic. Those closures forced millions of people ó including more than 5,000 in Cape Girardeau County alone last April during the height of eco≠ nomic disruption. Of the Missouri coun≠ ties adjoining Cape Gi≠ rardeau County, only Scott County had a sig≠ niÆ cant decline in its un≠ employment rate in Feb≠ ruary, dropping several tenths of a percentage point to 4.5% from 4.9% in January. Meanwhile, Perry Countyí s jobless rate remained almost un≠ changed (4.1% in Janu≠ ary compared to 4.0% in February) and Bollinger Countyí s rate went up from 5.0% in January to 5.4% in February.

Firefighters use hoses to put out a fire in the former Broadway Theatre on Wednesday in downtown Cape Girardeau. BY J.C. REEVES

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN Multiple Æ re crews battled a blaze Wednesday evening at the former Broadway Theatre in downtown Cape Girardeau. According to Cape Gi≠ rardeau Fire Department battalion chief Brad Dillow, at approximately 5:30 p.m., crews responded to a report of smoke at the building, 805≠ 809 Broadway. Upon arrival, crews saw heavy smoke and Ø ames show≠ ing from the second Ø oor.

Crews had the Æ re extin≠ guished at approximately 6:30 p.m. No injuries were reported at the scene. The Broadway Theatre Æ rst opened Dec. 24, 1921, when John T. Sackmann felt the city needed a more modern theater. Sackmann undertook Æ nancing of the new vaudeville and picture theater along with William Bartels, William Vedder, C.O. Hobbs, A.W. Blattner, Charles Boutin and Hen≠ ry Sanders, among others. This group formed the Cape

a $55,000 building, which ended up costing nearly $100,000 by the time it was complete. Since the build≠ ing was still unfurnished, Sackmann enlisted the help of S.E. Brady, who was will≠ ing to invest in furnishing the theater. Cape Theatre & Realty signed a 10≠ year lease agreement with Brady to manage the theater and oversee its construction. Fox Theatre leased the building and purchased it 20 years later. See FIRE, Page 16A

Panaderia Oaxaquena: A slam dunk during March Madness I

f there is anything SEMO foodies caní t seem to get enough of ití s Mexican food. Whether indulging in a special Æ ne dining fusion of Latin Ø avors, one of the many popular family restau≠ rants packed with familiar favorites, a fast food Æ x or a taco truck treat, the Mexi≠ can food market is booming with business, and now there is another destination to add to the list ó Panade≠ ria Oaxaquena. Panaderia Oaxaquena is humbly located in the corner of a strip mall along with a laundromat. If you arení t speciÆ cally looking for it, you will likely drive right past it without thinking twice. I have. Some might even say it qualiÆ es for des≠ ignation as a no≠ frills ì hole in the wall.î The buzz about their great food was getting louder and louder, so I Æ nally decided to drop what I was doing (eating healthy and running) to check it out for myself. My Æ rst visit was on a taco Tuesday. My lunch companion ordered a plate of tacos and a Mexican Pepsi. I resisted the special taco prices and splurged on something different ó a carnitas torta with fries and a Mexican Coke. A word of advice? Doní t expect the server to give you in≠ depth descriptions and recommen≠ dations for your meal. Read

MARY ANN CASTILLO Mary Ann Castillo has over 40 years of eating experience with no plans to stop. the menu and order. If you caní t pronounce the name of an item on the menu, pointing to it is just Æ ne. Other options include learn≠ ing Spanish before your visit or tagging along with a Spanish≠ speaking friend. Whatever you decide, never let a language barrier come between you and a fabulous food experience. My friend knows a thing or two about food and gave his tacos an enthusiastic nod of approval. In fact, he was planning a return trip with his family before the server even brought our checks. I believe we both let out an audible gasp when my carnitas torta was delivered to the table. To describe this popular Mexican sandwich as massive does not do it

justice. Just imagine, a Ø uffy toasted bun topped with ten≠ der seasoned meat, cheese, guacamole and a mountain of fresh veggies. Ií m salivat≠ ing just thinking about it. As delicious as it was, I felt like I was bursting at the seams after eating only half the torta so my ì to≠ goî box was like a gift I would give myself later that day. According to the menu, Panaderia Oaxaquena offers a couple of Sabado y Domin≠ go (Saturday and Sunday) Specials including: Caldo de Menudo, Caldo de Res and barbacoa de Chivo Tacos. They also make fresh home≠ made tortillas and have pan dulce (Mexican sweet bread/ pastries) available only on the weekend. I returned Saturday to sample the menudo and barbacoa de chivo (goat) tacos. Menudo is a traditional Mexican soup made with tripe (cows stomach)in broth with a red chili pepper base. My bowl was served with a side of chopped onions, cilantro, lime slices, and jalapenos to add Ø avor to my liking. The hominy Ií m used to was missing, but the soup was so meaty with a rich, smoky Ø avor I hardly noticed. If you are texture sensitive I would say skip the menudo and stick to the hearty and equally satisfy≠ ing caldo de rez (beef). I may be in last place in the office March Madness fun

Submitted by Mary Ann Castillo

You can never go wrong with tacos on Taco Tuesday. but ordering the barbacoa de chivo taco was a slam dunk. The tender, spicy goat meat served on a soft corn tortilla and loaded with onions and fresh cilantro was perfec≠ tion. During my visit, I had the pleasure of talking to none other than Carlos Vargas, president of Southeast Missouri State University, and his wife, Pam Vargas,

director of Research and Grant development at the university. I believe Vargas said he hails from the area surrounding Oaxaca, Mexi≠ co, and gave Panaderia Oax≠ aquena his seal of approval. Most people describe mole as an acquired taste and Mrs. Vargas admitted the dish is typically not high on her list, however, both highly recommend trying the mole

at Panaderia Oaxaquena. I left with fresh tortillas and a bag of pan dulce to enjoy with coffee the next morning. She shoots. She scores. You all can keep your hoop dreams, and I will stay focused on winning at this game called the foodie life. Panaderia Oaxaquena is located at 525 North Sil≠ ver Springs Road in Cape Girardeau.

Easter breads rise to the occasion

ne a penny, two a penny, hot cross buns.î That familiar refrain has to be the best song ever written about an Easter bread. In fact, ití s the only one I know. Perhaps there are others, but I think ití s reasonably safe to say that there is no song about the tradition≠ al Finnish Easter bread made from wheat and rye Ø our enriched with cream, butter, eggs, raisins and almonds and baked in a milking pail. They call it P‰ ‰ si‰ isleip‰ , a word which is hard enough to say, let alone sing. Even if some have what to us are ungainly names, Easter breads are proba≠ bly the most conventional way to celebrate the most sacred day on the Christian calendar. For example, on the Greek island of Corfu they celebrate the holiday by throwing clay pots off their balconies to connote discarding the old to make way for the new. In Haux, a French village, the whole town assembles in the main square to partake of a giant omelet. Compared to such antics, bread may seem rather pedestrian. But Easter breads are anything but. They are typically laden with symbolism. As Betsy Oppenneer, writing in her comprehensive review of celebratory breads, points out, bread has been a sacred symbol in many cultures and religions for years and years. For example, the Christian ritual of commu≠ nion involves bread. Jews make unleavened bread to commemorate the release of the children of Israel from bondage. Similarly, Muslims regard bread as a blessing and even kiss it to show their respect. So it should not be sur≠ prising that when it comes to Easter breads, as Jennifer Day of the Chicago Tribune aptly observes, ì Mean≠ ing is kneaded into every crumb.î After all, the very act of bread rising mirrors Christ rising from the tomb. Easter breads are typically made with lots of eggs, which have symbolized rebirth since pagan times. Moreover, not a few Easter breads, such as Greek Tsoureki, embed hard≠ boiled eggs, often colored red to represent Christí s blood, right into the dough. Many others involve braid≠ ed dough≠ ≠ typically using three strands to represent

hen thinking about what I would want to write about today, I just couldní t decide. Today is April Foolí s Day, tomorrow is my hus≠ bandí s birthday, Sunday is Easter and Monday is the NCAA basketball champion≠ ship game, all of which are special to us. An entire column on Scottí s birthday would be pretty easy and would feature several really good meat entree rec≠ ipes. So instead of doing an all meat entree column, Ií m going to really mix it up and include a recipe or two for each special day coming up. Enjoy!

Cape city manager search accelerates BY JEFF LONG

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN Cape Girardeau City Coun≠ cil met via Zoom on Monday with seven semi≠ finalists for the city manager job being vacated in June by the retiring Scott Meyer. Fifty≠ six people made ap≠ plication by the cityí s Feb. 28 deadline, Mayor Bob Fox said. Meyer will depart after lead≠ ing Missourií s 16th largest city for 12 years, making him the longest≠ tenured manager in municipal history. ì There were so many can≠ didates who were top≠ tier and ití s hard to (evaluate) without talking to them and meeting them,î Fox said. The cityí s hiring consultant, Mark Peterson of GovHR USA, will meet with the City Council on April 5 in closed session, since it is a personnel matter, to review applicantsí qualifications with an eye to≠ ward selecting three to five finalists for the position, Fox said. Finalists will come to Cape Girardeau on April 14, 15 and 16 for in≠ person interviews, a tour of the city and meetings with municipal staff, he added. ì If needed, weí ve also set

aside April 26 and 27 if we de≠ cide a second interview with anyone is warranted,î Fox said. A hiring decision, Fox said, is anticipated in early May at the City Councilí s first meet≠ ing that month. On several occasions, Fox has called the choice of a city manager ì the most important decision a city council makes.î In a nine≠ page full≠ color re≠ cruitment brochure, prospec≠ tive applicants were informed the city has 498 full≠ time equiv≠ alent (FTE) employees and a $59 million annual budget. The estimated city manag≠ er yearly salary, according to the prospectus, is $155,000 to $165,000, with residency in the city required within six months of the start date. Applicants, according to the brochure, should have at least seven years of ì increasingly responsible managerial expe≠ rience in local government,î adding a postgraduate degree in public administration or a related field of study is pre≠ ferred but not required. Additionally, according to the literature, ì the ideal can≠ didateî will have prior experi≠ ence either as a city manager or city administration.

since the tenure of Eugene Hindman, who retired as Cape Girardeauí s chief in 1992. Since Hindman, Cape Gi≠ rardeauí s Æ re chiefs have relocated to the job from out≠ side the area: Robert Ridge≠ way, Daniel White, Michael W. Lackman, Rick Ennis and the aforementioned Hollis.

Development services Anna Kangas, 36, was named director of develop≠ ment services for the city, Æ lling a role vacated after Alex McElroy became exec≠ utive director of the South≠ east Metropolitan Planning

Organization. Kangas will continue as the cityí s point person on the $12.5 million city hall project, which is expected to be completed by October. She will oversee four di≠ visions in her department: inspections, engineering, planning and geographic in≠ formation systems. ì Ití s been a goal of mine to have this position,î said Kangas, a licensed architect. ì Anna has stepped up and in combination with others on our staff is making our transformation in develop≠ ment services a reality,î Fox said.

COIN SHORTAGE ZIP CODE DISTRIBUTION NOTICE

■ MISSOURI AREA RESIDENTS CASH IN: Pictured above and watched closely by guards are protected U.S. Coin Packages containing the valuable unsearched Vault Bags that everyone will be trying to get. Ití s hard to tell how much these unsearched bags loaded with rarely seen U.S. Goví t issued coins could be worth someday. Thatí s because each Vault Bag is known to contain nearly 3 pounds of U.S. Goví t issued coins some dating back to the early 1800í s, so you better believe at just $980 these Unsearched Vault Bags are a real steal.

Decision puts valuable United States coins back in circulation – zip codes determine who gets them Unsearched Vault Bags loaded with rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued coins some dating back to the 1800’s and worth up to 50 times their face value are actually being handed over to residents who find their zip code on the Distribution List below and beat the 48 hour order deadline

Who gets the U.S. Gov’t issued coins: Only U.S. residents who find their zip code listed on the Distribution List below are getting the U.S. Gov’t issued coins. If you find your zip code listed below call: 1-800-868-9527 UV3684 “The vaults at Federated Mint are going empty,” said Mary Ellen Withrow, the emeritus 40th Treasurer of the United States of America. That’s because a decision by Federated Mint to put rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued coins, some worth up to 50 times their face value, back in circulation means unsea rched Vault Bags loaded w ith U. S. Gov’t issued coins dating back to the 1800’s are now being handed over to U.S. residents who find their zip code listed in today’s publication. “These are not ordinary coins you find in your pocket change. These are rarely seen silver, scarce, collectible and noncirculating U.S. coins dating back to the 1800’s so we won’t be surprised if thousands of U.S. residents claim as many as they can get their hands on. That’s because after the bags were loaded with nearly 3 pounds of U.S. Gov’t issued coins the dates were never searched and the bags were securely sealed. That means there’s no telling what you’ll find until you search all the coins,” said Withrow. “But don’t thank the Government. As Executive Advisor to Federated Mint, I get paid to inform and educate the general public regarding U.S. coins. Ever since the decision by Federated Mint to put rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued coins back in circulation, I’m being asked how much are the unsearched Vault Bags worth? The answer is, there’s no way to tell. Coin values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees, but we do know this. Each unsearched bag weighs nearly 3 pounds and is known to contain rarely seen Morgan Silver Dollars and these coins alone could be worth $40 - $325 in collector value each according to The Official Red Book, a Guide Book of United States Coins. So there’s no telling what you’ll find until you search through all the coins. But you better believe at just $980 these unsearched Vault Bags are a steal, “said Withrow. The only thing U.S. residents who find their zip code printed in today’s publication need to do is call the National Toll-Free Hotline before the 48-hour deadline ends. This is very important. The Vault Bag fee has been set for $1,500 for residents who miss the 48-hour deadline, but for those

U.S. residents who beat the 48-hour deadline the Vault Bag fee is just $980 as long as they call the National Toll-Free Hotline before the deadline ends. “Remember this, we cannot stop collectors from buying up all the unsearched bags of coins they can get in this special advertising announcement. And you better believe with each bag being loaded with nearly 3 pounds of U.S. Gov’t issued coins we’re guessing they’re going to go quick,” said Withrow. The phone lines will be ringing off the hook beginning at precisely 8:30am this morning. That’s because each unsearched Vault Bag is loaded with over 100 highly sought after

collector coins dating clear back to the 1800’s including iconic Morgan Silver Dollars, a historic Peace Silver Dollar, stunning Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars, the collectible Silver Eisenhower Dollars, spectacular Silver Liberty Head Half and Quarter Dollars, rarely seen Silver Franklin Half Dollars, high demand President Kennedy Silver Half Dollars, beautiful Silver Standing Liberty Quarter Dollars, American Bicentennial Quarters, rare Liberty V Nickels, one cent Historic Wheat Coins including 1943 “Steel Cents”, one of the beautiful Winged Liberty Head Dimes, scarce Indian Head one cent U.S. coins and the last ever minted Buffalo

Nickels. “With all these collectible U.S Gov’t Issued coins up for grabs we’re doing all we can to answer all the calls,” said Withrow. Thousands of U.S. residents stand to miss the deadline to claim the valuable U.S. Gov’t issued coins. That means U.S. residents who find their zip code listed in today’s publication can claim the unsearched bags of money for themselves and keep all the U.S. Gov’t issued coins found inside. Just be sure to call before the deadline ends 48 hours from today’s publication date. ■

METROPOLIS, Ill. — Metropolis has hit the jackpot; after three years as host city to Merv Griffin’s Players Riverboat Casino, this small Southern Illinois city of 7,500 residents has taken $15,598,123 to the bank; there is no sign the bank will close any time soon. No one speaks in opposition to a proposed juvenile detention center in Scott City, but they do have a few questions for the Missouri Division of Youth Services; representatives from the youth services division meet with the Scott City Council and about six residents during a public hearing in the council chambers; Scott City is one of about 15 cities that have applied for the site. Belt-tightening is the theme on the State College campus following a request of the president, Dr. Mark F. Scully, to curtail spending in an effort to live with a fund cut; all Missouri state agencies were told yesterday of a 15% cut in their funds for April, May and June because of a drop in revenue; Scully says the action will mean a loss of $200,000 from the $1,354,000 appropriation to the college for the quarter. Construction of Interstate 55 through Cape Girardeau and Perry counties picked up considerably at the onset of warmer weather this week; all of I-55 from St. Louis to south of Hayti, Missouri, should be open to traffic about this time next year, predicts Gary Chullino, District 10 construction engineer at Sikeston, Missouri.

The Cape Girardeau County Court directs Prosecuting Attorney R.M. Buerkle to institute injunction proceedings in Circuit Court to prevent purchase of the Cape Girardeau traffic bridge by Alexander County, Illinois; action by the County Court follows a similar move by the Cape Girardeau City Council last Thursday, when it directed the filing of an injunction suit in behalf of the city to halt purchase of the span. Production begins by the Littleton Shoe Co. in its plant on the second floor of the building at 725 Broadway; organized by 10 local men, the factory is devoted exclusively to the manufacture of women’s shoes, made of leather, cloth and plastic. At a meeting of the Cape Girardeau Chamber of Commerce last night, members passed resolutions endorsing President W.S. Dearmont and urging that he be retained as the head of the Southeast Missouri State Teachers College here; the resolution was presented by M.E. Leming, who said he had learned there will be an effort to persuade the Board of Regents to make a change in the presidency. Philip Feinberg, formerly a merchant of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, has leased the building formerly occupied by the Vandivort Dry Goods Store and will open a readyto-wear clothing store there; Feinberg is the brother of Max Feinberg, who was one of the proprietors of the Feinberg and Minnen chain of stores in Southeast Missouri until recently.

TODAY’S PRAYER

Lord God, thank you for the gift of salvation through your Son Jesus. Amen.

OUR OPINION

Civic Clubs make a difference through charity, civic engagement Our local service clubs doní t get a lot of attention. Most quietly go about their efforts, raising funds for import≠ ant projects or scholarships and providing educational opportunities for members to become better and more informed citizens. These organizations play an import≠ ant role in the community. In recent weeks, hundreds gathered at the Arena Building in Cape Girardeau for the Noon Optimist Chili Day and the Lions Club Pancake Day. The Optimist Club raised $18,000 to $20,000, according to Cape Girardeau Mayor and Optimist member Bob Fox. The total raised was about the same as previous years, he said. The big difference was in how food was delivered. With many conscious of COVID≠ 19 precau≠ tions, more individuals chose the drive≠ through and take≠ out options as opposed to dining in. The Optimist Club focuses their charitable efforts around youth ac≠ tivities and has supported community projects like Me≠ lainaí s Magical Playland and the skate park. The Lions Club hosted their 83rd annual Pancake Day on March 17. About $33,000 was raised from the event with approximately 3,500 meals served, according to Lion Club member Brandon Cooper, who added that sales were so strong the group used all 900 pounds of sausage on hand and nearly ran out of pancake batter. The Lions raise funds for local childrení s charities associated with eyesight and diabetes. Like the Optimist Club, the drive≠ through option was very popular this year ó something the club will likely continue post≠ pandemic. There are many other service clubs in the area, each doing equally important work in the community through philanthropic efforts and general civic engage≠ ment. If youí re a member of one of these clubs, we salute you. Thank you for getting involved in your community. Thank you for serving. Your organizations make a dif≠ ference.

OTHER OPINION

Pronouns and the philosophy professor The following editorial was pub≠ lished March 30 by The Wall Street Journal.

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

an a Christian professor be disciplined or Æ red for refusing to call a transgender student by a preferred pronoun? We may Æ nd out. The professorí s lawsuit was initially dismissed, but last week a federal appeals court reinstated the case, citing plausible violation of his First Amendment rights. Nicholas Meriwether has taught philosophy for years at Shawnee State University, a public school with about 3,500 students in southern Ohio. As the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals tells the story, in an opinion by Judge Amul Thapar, Mr. Meri≠ wetherí s pedagogical method is to hold Socratic discussions, while addressing students as ì Mr.î or ì Ms.î to create an atmosphere of seriousness. After a class in early 2018, a student whom Mr. Meriwether had called

ì sirî approached and requested to be addressed with feminine pronouns. The professor said he wasní t sure that he could comply, Judge Thapar writes, ì because his sincerely held religious beliefs prevented him from communicating messages about gender identity that he believes are false.î The student allegedly got hostile, saying ì I guess this means I can call you a [expletive],î while promising that Mr. Meriwether would be Æ red. Mr. Meriwetherí s dean suggested a way forward: He could simply quit us≠ ing all sex≠ based references, including basic pronouns like ì heî and ì she.î The professor objected that trying to speak like this would be impossible, but he began calling the transgender student by last name only. Complain≠ ing to administrators, the student threatened to hire a lawyer. The universityí s Title IX office said Mr. Meriwetherí s refusal ì to recognizeî the studentí s identity was ì disparate treatmentî that amounted to ì a hostile environment.î A formal warning was placed in his Æ le, urging

him to change his ways or face ì fur≠ ther corrective actions.î Overturning the earlier dismissal, the Sixth Circuití s three≠ judge panel unanimously revived Mr. Meriweth≠ erí s legal claims under the Constitu≠ tioní s guarantee of free speech and religious exercise. Although he is a school employee, ì the First Amend≠ ment protects the academic speech of university professors,î Judge Thapar writes. Also, ì pronouns can and do convey a powerful message implicating a sensitive topic of public concern.î Thus Mr. Meriwetherí s case grinds forward, as the philosophy of ì live and let liveî dies a little more. Students deserve to be treated with respect. So do religious beliefs. Assuming Mr. Meriwether acted in good faith, why isní t mutual accom≠ modation the answer? According to the Sixth Circuit, the student kept coming to class and won a high grade, reØ ecting ì very good workî and ì frequent participation.î Yet going on three years later, this is still a federal case.

Bipartisanship can be politically lethal A

merican politics is caught in a perverse paradox. The bases of both parties would like nothing more than to destroy the other party. But it is precisely this animus that prevents ONAH them from accom≠ OLDBERG plishing their goal. Thatí s because the best strategy for partisans to wreak havoc in the other party is to pursue bipartisanship when theyí re in power. When Barack Obama came into office with majorities in Congress, he opted to push his agenda on a par≠ ty≠ line basis, starting with the 2009 stimulus package that passed the Senate with only three Republican votes and the 2010 Affordable Care Act that got no Republican support in the Senate. Obamaí s unilateral approach allowed Republicans to stay uni≠ Æ ed in opposition and ultimately to take back the House in 2010, leav≠ ing Obama to spend the rest of his presidency governing with his ì pen and phoneî without more major legislation. The Trump presidency offers a similar lesson. If Trump had opened with an infrastructure plan ó as some of his advisers initially wanted ó he could have split the Democrats, won over some moderates in that party and made it more difficult for the Democrats to sell their ì resis≠ tanceî messaging for Trumpí s entire term. President Biden has a different interpretation of recent history. For him, the lesson of the Obama stim≠ ulus wasní t about the importance of bipartisanship. Rather, it proved the need to go much bigger and then brag about the bigness. ì Barack was so modest, he didní t want to take, as he said, a ë victory lap,í î Biden told House Democrats

J G

Many people fetishize bipartisanship as if it results in better policy. That’s not necessarily true. But it does make policy more difficult to reverse, and it creates havoc for the party out of power by escalating the contradictions within its coalition. It’s harder to go on cable news shows and rant about how the party in power is radical and dangerous when members of your own party have voted for its agenda. in early March. ì I kept saying, ë Tell people what we did.í He said, ë We doní t have time. Ií m not going to take a victory lap.í And we paid a price for it, ironically, for that humility.î Thereí s a kernel of truth there, though ì humilityî is not a word I would use to describe the Obama administration. Ití s deÆ nitely not the right word for the Biden presidency so far. A group of historians and advisers have reportedly convinced him this is his shot at being another FDR ó some≠ thing every Democratic president since FDR has wanted to do. The idea is to cram through as much transformational change as quickly as possible, pressing every advantage, including possibly scrap≠ ping the legislative Æ libuster. First of all, the 2020 election wasní t a lurch to the left. Were it not for Trumpí s selÆ sh inanity, Republicans would have won the Georgia Senate seats and control of the Senate. More importantly, such overreach invari≠ ably invites an electoral backlash, and then the pattern repeats itself. Worship at the altar of FDR all you like, but doní t forget that FDR was a

master at dividing his opposition. Still, you can understand why Biden thinks heí s different. He has a healthy approval rating of 54%. His Æ rst big legislative effort, the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, passed without GOP support, but the legislation itself has bipartisan sup≠ port among the public. Amazingly, a third of Republicans actually think the GOP supported it. As a result, the Biden team claims heí s being bipartisan. Thatí s a good spin for the Sunday political talk shows. But the Biden team is overreading the facts. The larger $2.2 trillion CARES Act passed last year was even more popular with voters. Does anyone credit Trump and Mitch McConnell for their bipartisanship? They doní t, for two reasons. Emer≠ gency pandemic relief isní t seen as normal legislation, and, more impor≠ tantly, opinions about Trump were set in stone by then. Many people fetishize bipartisan≠ ship as if it results in better policy. Thatí s not necessarily true. But it does make policy more difficult to reverse, and it creates havoc for the party out of power by escalating the contradictions within its coalition. Ití s harder to go on cable news shows and rant about how the party in power is radical and dangerous when members of your own party have voted for its agenda. And thatí s the paradox. If the Democratic base really wanted to break the GOP in two, theyí d let Biden pursue popular, albeit more moderate, policies on immigration, infrastructure and the like. Such a strategy would annoy the Democrat≠ ic base, but their protests would only make Bidenism more attractive to centrist Republicans. Instead, the Democrats are moving forward on policies that enrage and unify the opposition, easing the path for the Republicans to return to power and repeating this paradoxical pattern all over again.

Firm backed by Anheuser-Busch plans $100 million facility ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUIS ó A new com≠ pany backed by Anheus≠ er≠ Busch that turns the remnants of barley from brewing into protein and Æ ≠ ber supplements is building a production facility on the breweryí s St. Louis campus. The company, Ever≠ Grain, announced the proj≠ ect Tuesday, the St. Louis Post≠ Dispatch reported. The Æ rm is led by former Anheuser≠ Busch sustain≠ ability chief Gregory Belt. ì This announcement is a key milestone in Ever≠ Grainí s journey to realize the full potential of barley,î Belt said in a statement. ì As we grow our opera≠ tions in St. Louis, we will be able to deliver new options to consumers who seek a healthier and more sustain≠ able future.î The project is part of Anheuser≠ Buschí s plan, announced in January, to invest $1 billion in its U.S. manufacturing capabilities through next year, includ≠ ing about $100 million for sustainability projects. Ití s also among sev≠ eral new investments Belgium≠ based Anheus≠ er≠ Busch InBev plans for its 170≠ year≠ old Ø agship

brewery in St. Louis. It is expanding production ca≠ pacity for hard seltzer bev≠ erages with construction of a new building. InBev also is moving the brewing of Stella Artois for U.S. con≠ sumers from Europe to St. Louis and three other U.S. breweries. All told, brewery officials have said they expect about $175 million in investment in the St. Louis brewery over the next couple of years. EverGrain launched last year. It produces EverPro, a barley≠ based protein pow≠ der for drinks, and EverVi≠ ta, a barley≠ based supple≠ ment that adds Æ ber and protein to baked goods. EverGrain currently has only a small≠ scale, $15 mil≠ lion production facility at Anheuser≠ Buschí s brewery in Newark, New Jersey. It will continue to be used for testing and small≠ batch pro≠ duction after the St. Louis facility is operational. Belt told the Post≠ Dis≠ patch EverGrain opted to build its full≠ scale produc≠ tion facility in St. Louis because of the cityí s ì deep roots in food and ag≠ tech,î as well as the regioní s ì great source of talent.î EverGrain expects to add about 50 jobs initially.

Ex-cop told onlooker George Floyd was big, ‘probably on something’ BY STEVE KARNOWSKI AND AMY FORLITI

ASSOCIATED PRESS

MINNEAPOLIS ó After the ambulance took George Floyd away, the Minneapo≠ lis officer who had pinned his knee on the Black maní s neck defended himself to a bystander by saying Floyd was ì a sizable guyî and ì probably on something,î according to police video played in court Wednesday. The video was part of a mountain of footage ó both official and amateur ó and witness testimony at officer Derek Chauvinë s murder trial showing how Floydí s alleged attempt to pass a phony $20 bill at a neighborhood market last May escalated into tragedy one video≠ documented step at a time. A security≠ camera scene of people joking around inside the store soon gave way to the sight of officers pulling Floyd from his SUV at gunpoint, struggling to push him into a squad car as he writhed and screamed he was claustrophobic, and then putting him on the pavement. When Floyd was Æ nally taken away by paramed≠ ics, Charles McMillian, a 61≠ year≠ old bystander who recognized Chauvin from the neighborhood, told the officer he didní t respect what Chauvin had done. ì Thatí s one personí s opinion,î Chauvin could be heard responding. ì We got≠ ta control this guy ë cause heí s a sizable guy ... and it looks like heí s probably on something.î Floyd was 6≠ foot≠ 4 and 223 pounds, according to the autopsy, which also found fentanyl and meth≠ amphetamine in his sys≠ tem. Chauviní s lawyer said the officer is 5≠ foot≠ 9 and 140 pounds. Chauvin, 45, is charged with murder and man≠ slaughter, accused of kill≠ ing the 46≠ year≠ old Floyd by kneeling on Floydí s neck for 9 minutes, 29 seconds, as he lay face≠ down in handcuffs. The most serious charge against the now≠ Æ red white officer carries up to 40 years in prison. Floydí s death, along with the harrowing bystander video of him gasping for breath as onlookers yelled at Chauvin to get off him, triggered sometimes vio≠ lent protests around the world and a reckoning over racism and police brutality across the U.S. Jurors were shown po≠ lice bodycam video of the approximately 20 minutes between when police ap≠

proached Floydí s vehicle and when he was loaded into the ambulance. When officer Thomas Lane confronted Floyd in his SUV, drew his gun and demanded with a few ex≠ pletives Floyd show his hands, a panicky≠ sounding Floyd said: ì Ií m sorry, Ií m sorryî and ì I got shot be≠ fore.î Seemingly crying, he begged repeatedly, ì Please doní t shoot me, man.î Then, when told to get into the squad car, Floyd repeatedly yelled, ì Ií m not that kind a guy!î and ì Ií m claustrophobic!î As officers shoved his upper body and then his legs into the car, he writhed and screamed, ì Please! Please! I caní t breathe!î Officers were clearly ex≠ asperated as Floyd braced himself against the squad car and arched his body while the police tried to get him inside. At one point, he threw his upper body out of the car, and officers tried to push him back in. Officers eventually pulled him out and brought him to the ground. Floyd thanked officers as they took him out of the squad car. Once Floyd was on the ground ó with Chauviní s knee on his neck, another officerí s knee on his back and a third man holding his legs ó the officers talked calmly about whether he might be on drugs. Lane was heard saying of≠ Æ cers found a ì weed pipeî on Floyd and wondered whether he might be on PCP, saying Floydí s eyes were shaking back and forth fast. ì He wouldní t get out of the car. He just wasní t fol≠ lowing instructions,î Lane was recorded saying. The officer also asked twice whether the officers should roll Floyd on his side, and later said calmly he thinks Floyd is passing out. As Floyd was pinned down by Chauvin and other officers, McMillian, the by≠ stander, could be heard on video saying to Floyd, ì You caní t winî and ì Get up and get in the car.î Floyd replied: ì I caní t.î The defense has argued Chauvin did what he was trained to do and Floydí s death was not caused by the officerí s knee, as prosecu≠ tors contend, but by Floydí s illegal drug use, heart dis≠ ease, high blood pressure and the adrenaline Ø owing through his body. Events spun out of con≠ trol earlier that day soon after Floyd allegedly hand≠ ed a cashier at Cup Foods, 19≠ year≠ old Christopher Martin, a counterfeit bill for a pack of cigarettes.

DEAR ABBY

New wife can’t stop thinking about husband’s old girlfriend Dear Abby: Ií m a young wife. I married after three months of dating my military husband. EANNE He was previous≠ HILLIPS ly in an on≠ again/ off≠ again relationship that lasted about eight years, during which she had a baby with another man, etc. I believe my husband is still in love with her. After constant≠ ly asking him, he says he just wishes her well and he doesní t have any romantic feelings. Ií m not sure what to do, and I just keep overthinking it. Any thoughts? Hates Husbandí s History

J P

Dear H.H.H.: Stop tor≠ turing your husband ó and yourself ó by constantly asking him about his feelings for his unfaithful ex≠ girlfriend. Get to work building your self≠ esteem, and you will have less to worry about. Your hus≠ bandí s history (baggage) is his own. You are making a mistake by dragging it into your marriage. If you concentrate on the positive, you will have a happier marriage, and so will your husband. Dear Abby: Shortly after a retired, not≠ so≠

close friend moved to another city, he began sending emails about events he had read about in social media, news outlets and magazines. At Æ rst there were only a few a day, but as the days increased, so did his emails. I responded to some of them, but he never commented on them. He just sent more and more to the point his daily emails are more than I can ó or want to ó read. I am spending too much time deleting them. What should I do? Should I ask him not to send them anymore, or should I stay quiet so as not to hurt his feelings? Inbox Full in Missouri Dear Inbox Full: Your friend may be sending these items because, as a retiree, he has little to do but cruise the internet for entertainment. It would not be rude to tell this not≠ so≠ close friend you doní t have time to review all of the emails he has been sending and ask him to send fewer. Ití s the truth. However, if he doesní t comply and the barrage continues, feel free to block them or create a Æ lter for these emails send≠ ing them to a folder where they can be easily scanned and deleted. Dear Abby: My hus≠ band of 32 years often tells me women compli≠ ment him on his looks

or the way he dresses. I compliment him often, but I think ití s his way of telling me heí s still ì got itî and I should be proud to have a husband whoí s hot and good≠ look≠ ing. Am I crazy for not enjoying hearing what other women think? If anything, it has caused some insecurity on my part. I have asked him to stop sharing these com≠ ments and told him Ií m tired of hearing them ó especially since I have told him repeatedly what I think of him, his looks and his way of dressing. Am I wrong? Loves Him Inside and Out

E( WQWQ 24

Dear Loves Him: I doní t think youí re wrong. But has it occurred to you your husband may do this not out of ego but because HE is insecure? People who are secure within them≠ selves do not feel the need to continually toot their own horns the way your handsome, stylish husband does. Try this: The next time he does it, smile, nod in agreement and tell him you agree with his admirer. And repeat as necessary.

All of which is good reason to take a look at our bathing and skin care routines. Dermatologists have long suggested harsh soaps, too much scrubbing and daily bathing with overly hot water can strip the epider≠ mis not only of helpful oils, but also wreak havoc on beneÆ cial microbe colo≠ nies. To protect your skiní s microbiome, think in terms of gentle, pH≠ balanced soaps, and gentler overall treatment. That means save the scrubbing with loofas and brushes and other rough materials for the tru≠ ly grubby areas. Instead of a vigorous rubbing with a towel when you are Æ nished bathing, gently dab and pat your skin dry. And, in case you were wondering, you deÆ nitely want to keep up the vigilant hand≠ washing that helps keep us safer during the coronavirus pandemic.

The rise of resin art BY ALLISON LAUTER

SOUTHEAST ARROW

The new art trend sweep≠ ing the internet is called resin art. Epoxy resin artists have been showcasing their creations throughout social media recently. Resin art has become popular due to the minimal amount of ma≠ terials required. Epoxy resin is a reac≠ tive polymer that typically cures within 24 hours. The epoxy is created by mixing two similar components, then is hardened in a sepa≠ rate mixture. Traditionally, resin is used for building or construction. The epoxy resin begins as a liquid, then hardens around the object or molds into the desired form. Resin is now used for furniture, keychains and jewelry.

Senior art major Ryan Nevill said resin art is a good development that peo≠ ple naturally gravitate to≠ wards. ì It is so Æ ckle, it has a chemical reaction where it heats up and has a set time, youí re not really supposed to handle it with bare hands,î Nevill said, ì It is not an ear≠ ly on friendly creation, it is more modern, exotic, and not something you see every day.î Quarantine boredom spiked the interest in resin art because people could create it at home, according to StudyBreaks.com. Indi≠ viduals began creating and selling their resin creations through social media. Creating crafts using ep≠ oxy resin requires talent and a keen eye. Resin is versatile and attractive to the eye due to its glass≠ like appearance

according to ArtResin.com. Local resin art cre≠ ator Abby Alfaro said she watched tutorials for her keychains but the more unique items were creat≠ ed through trial and error. ì Before someone gets into making creations, they need to know that epoxy resin is expensive,î Alfaro said, ì I use safe ones that do not re≠ quire gloves and a mask but it is still a good idea because it can potentially harm you if you are not careful.î According to the Reno Gateway Project, the beau≠ ty of resin is everything it can be manipulated into. Canvases, desks and even Ø owers are among the most popular objects being used today. The epoxy pro≠ tects from watermarks or scratches once it hardens, whether that be on a piece of

jewelry or a tabletop. Resin artist Patti Meadors said she had to Æ gure out most of the art form on her own. ì I started last year during quarantine when I Æ rst did ashtrays, earrings, jewelry boxes along with a little bit of everything,î Meadors said, ì I own a small business through Insta≠ gram called @patticreates which consists mostly of my friends and college≠ aged buyers.î ì A lot of students feel like they have limited resources here at SEMO when in re≠ ality, a resin 3D printer is a great modern tool that more people should know about,î Nevill said. For more information on the resin printer at the Heather MacDonald Greene Multimedia Center visit 3D Design & Printing.

Once more unto the breach in ‘Godzilla vs. Kong’ BY JAKE COYLE

ASSOCIATED PRESS ì Godzilla vs. Kongî be≠ gins, Æ ttingly, with the big guy asleep. There is King Kong, colos≠ sus of the big screen, slow≠ ing waking on a mountain≠ side. He rouses slowly in the morning sun from slumber before showering in a near≠ by waterfall. Ití s, maybe, a little bit the same for the kind of movies King Kong symbolizes and still holds some dominion over: big spectacles of mass destruc≠ tion made to be seen on equally towering screens. That kind of moviegoing has been been in hiberna≠ tion for much of the past pandemic year. ì Godzilla vs. Kong,î the only creature feature to dare wide release in some time, is a rock ë em≠ sock ë em monster≠ movie re≠ vival with all the requisite explosions, inane plot twists and skyscraper smashing to satisfy most lovers of gi≠ gantic amphibians.

This image released by Warner Bros. Entertainment shows a scene from “Godzilla vs. Kong.” of the MonsterVerse doesní t break any new ground. That might be its salvation. Wingard (ì Youí re Next,î ì The Guestî ) gives us some solid supporting characters (Brian Tyree Henry as a podcasting conspiracy the≠ orist on the right track is the best of the humans) and some slick sound design. But mostly ì Godzilla vs. Kongî supplies appropriate≠ ly silly sci≠ Æ escapades and a few good rounds of mon≠ ster mayhem, including, in their Æ rst meeting, a ballet of battleships on the open ocean. One difference this go around: You can see the Æ lm immediately on either a Godzilla≠ sized screen or a salamander≠ sized one. ì Godzilla vs. Kong,î debut≠ ing Wednesday, is playing in theaters and streaming simultaneously on HBO Max. I saw it at home, with a Æ ve≠ year≠ old in the next room asking why the big monkey was so angry. For the mighty Empire State Building≠ climbing beast, ití s a new, more humble home. And ití s home he seeks in ì Godzilla vs. Kong.î That

sunny morning waterfall, it turns out, is an enclosed habitat for the locked≠ up ape, whoí s watched over tenderly by Dr. Ilene An≠ drews (Rebecca Hall) and her deaf adopted daughter Jia (Kaylee Hottle). When Godzilla makes a seeming≠ ly unprompted attack on Apex, a high≠ tech cyber≠ netics company ruled by Walter Simmons (Demian Bichir), a plan is hatched to use Kong to lure Godzilla to the surface and then track Godzilla to his power source ñ an undiscovered center≠ of≠ the≠ world realm theorized to exist by ì hollow Earthî proponent Nathan Lind (Alexander Skarsgard). Ití s a scheme so obviously des≠ tined to run afoul and turn a metropolis into ruins that you can almost hear Hong Kong pleading, ì Please, no.î With a debt owed to Jules Verne, ì Godzilla vs. Kongî makes its way, via Antarc≠ tica, to the center of the Earth. It covers a lot of mileage only to ultimately fall back where so many ac≠ tion blockbusters do: at the hands of a melomaniac tech CEO. Ití s not just a predict≠

able foe for the kaijus, who have cycled through count≠ less metaphors over the de≠ cades. Ití s also a somewhat ironic one. ì Godzilla vs. Kongî is so much a totem to the powers of advanced technical wizardry. Shot with a lustrous glow by Ben Seresin, the movie is soaked in the glossy sheen of CGI. King Kong, born in stop≠ motion, and Godzilla, once a guy in a suit, have swelled so much in design and texture that they now appear like veteran movie stars who have moved on from their B≠ movie origins. By they end, they appear exhausted, and who can blame them? Theyí re likely tired from emerging again and again from the depths to play out our fantasies of destruction. Next time, someone should let Kong hit the snooze. ì Godzilla vs. Kong,î a Warner Bros. release, is rat≠ ed PG≠ 13 by the Motion Pic≠ ture Association of Ameri≠ ca for intense sequences of destruction, mayhem and creature violence. Running time: 113 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.

President Biden announces huge infrastructure plan to ‘win the future’

Music

President Joe Biden delivers a speech on infrastructure spending at Carpenters Pittsburgh Training Center on Wednesday in Pittsburgh.

BY JONATHAN LEMIRE, KEVIN FREKING AND ZEKE MILLER

ASSOCIATED PRESS

PITTSBURGH ó President Joe Biden outlined a huge $2.3 trillion plan Wednesday to reengineer the nationí s infrastructure in what he billed as ì a once≠ in≠ a≠ genera≠ tion investment in Americaî that would undo his prede≠ cessorí s signature legislative achievement ó giant tax cuts for corporations ó in the process. Speaking at a carpen≠ ters union training center in Pittsburgh, Biden drew comparisons between his hard≠ hatted proposed trans≠ formation of the U.S. econo≠ my and the space race ó and promised results as grand in scale as the New Deal or Great Society programs that shaped the 20th century. ì Ití s not a plan that tinkers around the edges,î Biden said. ì Ití s a once≠ in≠ a≠ gener≠ ation investment in America unlike anything weí ve seen or done since we built the in≠ terstate highway system and the space race decades ago. In fact, ití s the largest Amer≠ ican jobs investment since World War II. It will create millions of jobs, good≠ paying jobs.î White House officials say the spending would gener≠ ate those jobs as the country shifts away from fossil fuels and combats the perils of climate change. It is also an effort to compete with the technology and public in≠ vestments made by China, which has the worldí s sec≠ ond≠ largest economy and is fast gaining on the United Statesí dominant position. ì Ií m convinced that if we act now, in 50 years people are going to look back and say this is the moment when America won the future,î Biden said. The Democratic presi≠ dentí s infrastructure proj≠ ects would be Æ nanced by higher corporate taxes ó a trade≠ off that could lead to Æ erce resistance from the

business community and thwart attempts to work with Republican lawmakers. Biden hopes to pass an infra≠ structure plan by summer, which could mean relying solely on the slim Democrat≠ ic majorities in the House and the Senate. The higher corporate taxes would aim to raise the neces≠ sary piles of money over 15 years and then reduce the deÆ cit going forward. In do≠ ing so, Biden would undo the 2017 tax overhaul by Presi≠ dent Donald Trump and con≠ gressional Republicans and lift the corporate tax rate to 28% from the 21% rate. ì Ninety≠ one Fortune 500 Companies, including Ama≠ zon, pay not a single solitary penny in income tax,î Biden said. Wednesdayí s announce≠ ment will be followed in com≠ ing weeks by Biden pushing a companion bill of roughly equal size for investments in child care, family tax cred≠ its and other domestic pro≠ grams. That nearly $2 tril≠ lion package would be paid for by tax hikes on wealthy individuals and families. ì Wall Street didní t build this country,î Biden said. ì You, the great middle class, built this country.

burgh for unveiling the plan carried important economic and political resonance. He not only won Pittsburgh and its surrounding county to help secure the presidency, but he launched his cam≠ paign there in 2019. The city famed for steel mills that powered Americaí s indus≠ trial rise has steadily pivot≠ ed toward technology and health care, drawing in col≠ lege graduates in a sign of how economies can change. The White House says the largest chunk of the propos≠ al includes $621 billion for roads, bridges, public tran≠ sit, electric vehicle charging stations and other transpor≠ tation infrastructure. The spending would push the country away from internal combustion engines the auto industry views as increas≠ ingly antiquated technology. An additional $111 billion would go to replace lead water pipes and upgrade sewers. Broadband internet would blanket the coun≠ try for $100 billion. Sepa≠ rately, $100 billion would upgrade the power grid to deliver clean electricity. Homes would get retroÆ tted, schools modernized, work≠ ers trained and hospitals renovated under the plan, which also seeks to strength≠ en U.S. manufacturing. The new construction

could keep the economy running hot, coming on the heels of Bidení s $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package. Economists already esti≠ mate it could push growth above 6% this year. To keep companies from shifting proÆ ts overseas to avoid taxation, a 21% global minimum tax would be im≠ posed. The tax code would also be updated so compa≠ nies could not merge with foreign businesses and avoid taxes by moving their head≠ quarters to a tax haven. And among other provisions, it would increase IRS audits of corporations. Biden appealed for Re≠ publicans and the business community to join him in negotiations on the bill, but the legislative prospects for Bidení s twin proposals already appear to hinge on Democrats coming up with the votes on their own through the budget recon≠ ciliation process, which re≠ quires just a simple majority in the 50≠ 50 Senate. ì Ií m going to bring Repub≠ licans into the Oval Office, listen to them, what they have to say and be open to other ideas,î Biden said. ì Weí ll have a good faith ne≠ gotiation. Any Republican who wants to help get this done. But we have to get it done.î

Schnurbusch will also play another one of his compositions, ì Random Harmony,î at the recital. ì I composed a program that can take a note as input, then the computer randomly selects a chord progression to go with it and sends that back through the piano,î he said, explaining each time ì Random Harmonyî is played it will not be the same. ì The computer is choos≠ ing the chord,î he said, ì and thatí s part of the fun.î ì In the composing world, we refer to this as ë aleator≠ icí music, which, if you compare it to gambling, ití s as if each time some≠ one throws a pair of dice, something different comes up,î explained Schnurbus≠ ch, who began taking pia≠ no lessons at age 5.

Next steps Schnurbusch, at least initially, will not try to make music his vocation after graduation. ì I doní t know if I want to be part of the dogÆ ght that goes into getting peo≠ ple to pay attention to my music,î he said, noting his immediate plan after commencement is to work an internship with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kan≠ sas City this summer on the organizationí s actuar≠ ial team.

Children can be seen peaking through the front door of the Broadway Theater in this early 1920s picture, which provides a good view of the south side of Broadway in the 800 block. The movie “Proxies” was released in 1921, but the White-Myers Chautauqua advertised in the street banner played Cape Girardeau in 1920.

The the≠ ater closed again in March 1984, and again reopened in March 1992 before closing for good in 1997.

The Æ nancing agreement expired Dec. 31, 2019. The building is owned by Phil Brinson, who had

Inspired by a phone call she received by a research≠ er wanting more infor≠ mation about an ancestor who was enslaved in Cape Girardeau County, archive center director Marybeth Niederkorn is working to make it easier to Æ nd infor≠ mation about former slaves in the county. Recently, Niederkorn created an index for the archive centerí s collection of narratives from for≠ merly enslaved people in Southeast Missouri. The index makes it easier to cross≠ reference other doc≠ uments housed at the ar≠ chive center. ìS ince I started here in November, weí ve had a few researchers contact us from out of state who are looking for informa≠ tion on their ancestors who had been enslaved,î Niederkorn said. ìS ome of them from here in Cape Gi≠ rardeau County, and some of them have only moved through Cape County. Where somebody from, say, European descent would have access to things like ship manifest logs where their ancestors came over, naturalization records, that kind of thing, thatí s really not the case at all for somebody whoí s looking for somebody from being brought over as an en≠ slaved person.î Finding information

You might have people who just decided they really liked the sound of a name, and so they went with it. So thatí s a complication.î

The Cape Girardeau County Archive Center, 112 E. Washington St. in Jack≠ son, houses 16 narratives from enslaved people in Cape Girardeau County.

SPECIAL SENIOR

HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL

Senior Day at Jackson meant something else for shortstop Justin Moses BY TONY CAPOBIANCO

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN

Normally Senior Day is a special time to show ap≠ preciation for athletes who have spent their entire time with the school playing the sport they love. It certainly felt different ff fferent for Jackson senior Justin Moses for reasons beyond the Indians losing to Ste. Genevieve 9≠ 6 on Wednes≠ day. The shortstop is in his Æ rst and only season in Jack≠ son after transferring from Poplar Bluff. ff ff. Moses moved to Jackson after his junior year due to his engagement with South≠ east Missouri State sopho≠ more javelin thrower Jaden Kight. The couple had a baby daughter in February. Moses was not only play≠ ing his Æ rst games as an In≠ dian but also as a father. ì Ití s deÆ nitely special,î Moses said. ì I can look up and past the hitters and see them up there. Ití s a lot of fun to do something for

somebody thatí s not just myself.î Moses signed to play at Jefferson fferson College this past ff fall. Part of the thinking be≠ hind the move was when he Æ nishes his two years at the junior college level, his Æ an≠ cÈ will have graduated from SEMO and can plan their next move together. So far this year, Moses has been a tone≠ setter on the top of the lineup as the Indians leadoff ff hitter. Whether ití s plating a base hit or draw≠ ing a walk, heí s always on base. When heí s on base, heí s bound for home. Moses scored 20 runs in the last four games prior to Wednes≠ day. ì Heí s been a big addition just with his leadership,î Jackson head coach Tatum Kitchen said. ì Heí s got a very infectious personality. Heí s been really good for everybody. Heí s a leader by example and heí s what you want from a high school player. He works really hard and does a good job setting

the tone for us.î ì Heí s awesome,î Jackson sophomore Henley Parker said. ì Heí s been a great ad≠ dition to the team. Heí s help≠ ing a lot.î Mosesí Mules Æ nished the 2019 season with an 18≠ 7 re≠ cord in the same district as Jackson. Now on the other side, heí s enjoying a 7≠ 1 start as one of the senior leaders of the squad. ì Ití s amazing,î Moses said. ì The energy here is deÆ nitely a big change. We all come out here to win ball games and thatí s exactly what weí re trying to special≠ ize in.î Moses spent most of the fall and the entire winter in the gym getting ready for his only season with the In≠ dians. He put on 25 pounds, most of which is muscle through a custom≠ made workout program designed with the help of his brother. ì Ití s deÆ nitely showing in my arm and when Ií m swinging,î Moses said. ì A lot of people call me ë Thun≠ Thun

der Thighsí because my legs are so strong.î The program started with push≠ pull leg exercises during the winter followed by full≠ body workouts every other day. ì I was really focusing on getting strong so I can hit the ball harder this year,î Moses said. ì I knew that go≠ ing from last summer to this spring that if I wanted to be able to compete with the highest level I had to swing the bat well.î Moses said his speed has improved over the past year. In the second game of the doubleheader against Mar≠ quette this past Saturday, he stole two bases on his way to scoring two runs. ì Doing exploding work≠ outs through my legs helped me out a lot to be able to spring off ff the dirt real quick,î Moses said. Typically, Senior Day is a sign of the end, a chance to take a bow after a storied ca≠ reer. For Moses, ití s simply a sign of the beginning.

Inside-the-park home run highlights ND blowout BY TONY CAPOBIANCO

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN

Notre Dameí s run of dominance continued on Wednesday after defeating Fredericktown 11≠ 0 in Æ ve innings. The Bulldogs have ex≠ tended their winning streak to four and have also scored in double dig≠ its in each win. Notre Dame secured the victory after a six≠ run third inning highlight≠ ed by an inside≠ the≠ park home run by Ben Pearson. ì Out of the box, I was going for two and I looked up and I saw [head coach Jeff ff Graviett] keep waving me so I just kept running,î

Pearson said. ì It was awe≠ some.î Due to an error, Pearson was only awarded a dou≠ ble. He went 2≠ for≠ 2 with 2 RBI. Jon Dohogne, Austin Gast, and Cole Lemons all contributed in the big in≠ ning with RBIs. Gast also hit a two≠ run double in the Æ rst inning to start the scoring. Conner Wissnger went 2≠ for≠ 2 with two RBI and Blake Anderson went 2≠ for≠ 3. Noah Gadberry and Grant James combined to no≠ hit Fredericktown. Gadberry struck out seven batters in three innings.

SEMO FB Notes: Enduring adversity brings teaching moments BY TOM DAVIS

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN FCS programs are drop≠ ping out of this spring sea≠ son with some degree of regularity, as this unique year winds down. Illinois State pulled the plug on its season recently, while Chat≠ tanooga and Cal Poly both did on Monday. However, there is no such talk linger≠ ing through the halls of the Rosengarten Athletic Com≠ plex. ì There is always an ex≠ cuse,î seventh≠ year South≠ east Missouri State coach Tom Matukewicz said.

ì There is always a reason to shut it down. (But) That is not what we should be teach≠ ing people.î Matukewicz made it clear that he was addressing his program and not passing judgment on any other team, but the football gods have given Matukewicz ì an outî if he wanted to pursue it. Following Sundayí s win over Tennessee Tech, Matukewicz spoke of his surprise and frustration as it related to the amount of injuries that his team has en≠ dured this spring. Matukewicz said his injury list heading into Sundayí s

game included an astonish≠ ing 25 players. ì Weí ve never had this many injuries,î Matukewicz said. ì It just doesní t make any sense.î The Redhawk offense ff ffense was without starting running back Zion Custis, left tackle Jaí Chai Baker, and wide re≠ ceiver Aaron Alston. SEMO utilized 16 freshmen against Tennessee Tech after playing 14 the week earlier at Jacksonville State. But that isní t enough to alter the thoughts of Matukewicz in regards to this season. ì When (life) is the hard≠ est,î Matukewicz explained,
