Chambers urge support of local businesses Many have been hurt by COVID-19 outbreak BY JAY WOLZ

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN The signs are everywhere — empty parking lots, deserted restaurants and shops that have either temporarily closed or have shortened their hours due to the COVID-19 pandemic and concerns over spreading the coronavirus. Cape Girardeau Area Chamber of Commerce president John Mehner says coronavirus is having a devastating impact on

many area retailers and restaurants. Numerous businesses have also temporarily closed their doors to the public including, as of Monday, the Cape Girardeau chamber, Magnet and Visit Cape. The Jackson Area Chamber of Commerce office is also closed “for now,” according to chamber president Brian Gerau. “In this challenging time, we have many businesses facing closures and many individuals

facing furloughs (from work),” Mehner said. “I want to ask each person who has the resources to help keep Cape strong by supporting our local economy.” While many businesses have temporarily closed until at least early April, many of them, especially restaurants and fast food operations, offer delivery, drive-through and curbside pickup options. And although it may seem people have little control over COVID-19, Mehner said they are able to control where

Mississippi River expected to crest this afternoon more than 5 feet above flood stage BY JAY WOLZ

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN The Mississippi River at Cape Girardeau rose above the “moderate” ﬂood stage level earlier this week and is expected to crest today afternoon more than 5 feet above the city’s minimum ﬂood threshold. According to forecasts

WEB:

from the National Weather Service in Paducah, Kentucky, the river will reach 37.5 feet on the Cape Girardeau river gage before beginning a gradual fall to below 32 feet around April 5. That date could vary based on rainfall north of Cape Girardeau in the next week and a half. Excessive rainfall along the Mississip-

semissourian.com

pi and Missouri river basins could slow the river’s descent. The Broadway and Themis Street ﬂoodgates were closed Friday when the river approached 36 feet on the Cape Girardeau gage and should reopen sometime next week as the river begins to fall. The river reaches “minor” ﬂood stage in Cape Gi-

rardeau when it exceeds 32 feet, while the “moderate” ﬂood stage is between 36 and 42 feet. The river reaches “major” ﬂood proportions when it exceeds 42 feet on the Cape Girardeau gage. The river has been above the 32-foot mark since March 19. The record river crest in Cape Girardeau was 48.86 feet recorded Jan. 2, 2016.

Last year, the river crested June 11 at 46.36 feet, which was the fifth-highest crest on record. In its 2020 spring flooding forecast, the National Weather Service said the flood potential in the Mississippi and Ohio river basins will be above average through the middle of May due to heavy rainfall in the

Gov. seeks emergency declaration On Tuesday, Missouri Gov. Mike Parson requested President Donald J. Trump approve a major disaster declaration for the state, according to a news release Wednesday from the governor’s office. Two programs were requested statewide: Disaster Unemployment Assistance and Crisis Counseling, under the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Individual Assistance Program; and FEMA’s Public Assistance Program.

The ﬁrst program helps individuals and families while the FEMA Public Assistance Program provides assistance to local governments and qualifying nonproﬁts with emergency response expenses. “The COVID-19 pandemic has already had a devastating effect on the state of Missouri, straining hospitals, healthcare facilities and nursing homes, businesses large and small, schools, and tens of thousands of Missourians

who have been forced out of their jobs,” Parson said via release. “Although it is continuing to develop, it’s already clear the COVID-19 pandemic will have a more sweeping impact on the entire state of Missouri than any other previous disaster that has affected our citizens. There is an urgent need for federal assistance to help Missouri families meet today’s challenges and the many more that we will face.”

Test your mettle, play Iron Chef at home

Don’t Stay Away, Ohh! Fu-Fu-Fudio

e are seeing our community and nation in a way we have never seen before. People staying in, restaurants closed for inside dining, and folks being creative with ingredients they have on hand to cook together at home. This is a good time to use up items in your cabinet and freezer that have gotten pushed to the back or to the bottom and forgotten about. Today I tried to ﬁnd a few recipes that could use a few basic staples that you might have on hand, then add in what you don’t have. Many ingredients can be changed around without little effect on the recipe. This is your chance to play Iron Chef at home, be creative and use up some ingredients, while making the best of this social distancing situation. Have fun and stay healthy, everyone.

Taco Soup This soup is delicious served as-is or top with your favorite toppings. A pan of cornbread is also nice served alongside.

Succulent corned beef and cabbage in broth with potatoes and carrots with a slice of Irish soda bread from Fudio.

n this time of caution and uncertainty, the last thing on our minds is probably locating the hippest, freshest new or undiscovered places to eat. I’m saying this so that you know I am not tone deaf. I know things are stressful and scary. However, I am also a firm believer in finding joy in the little things, and with this in mind, I’m going to continue to order curbside service from restaurants, and let you know where you can, too. Food is on everybody’s mind in one way or the other, and last week I was scrambling to find somewhere to write about. I decided to try a place I’ve been meaning to try for a couple of months. In a small section of the Indie House, Fudio is a food studio, a place to taste amazing local farmto-table food, dishes both simple and fancy. Fudio can seat eight and that intimate atmosphere is absolutely intentional. In a pre-social-distancing time, Fudio ran small cooking classes that I will be partaking in when the circumstances allow again. It was St. Patrick’s Day and besides wearing an obnoxious green shirt with velociraptors on it that said “Life, uhhh, finds a way,” I was looking for a way to celebrate. I like corned beef,

REBECCA LACLAIR Rebecca travels to a new place every week to try food from a trendy restaurant or one she hasn’t been to yet.

and I like cabbage, but in the past, the two always came together for me in a unseasoned mushy combination that was OK but not fantastic. Enter Fudio with a Facebook announcement that corned beef was the special of the day. I texted the phone number given to order, then arrived to pick up my two servings of Corned Beef and Cabbage with Potatoes and Carrots in broth with a warm piece of Irish Soda bread. Lisa Essmyer, the lovely proprietor of Fudio, delivered my meals curbside piping hot.

After we had the obligatory talk about how the pandemic was changing the way food service works, I thanked her and drove home. The food was still piping hot when I got home, and I took a moment to arrange it in my 23-year-old dishes for a picture for you. I already knew it was going to taste heavenly. The scent coming off this simple meat and vegetable dish was complex, distinct and delectable. After getting the shot, I ﬁnally tasted it. Oh, wow! Rich spices abounded. The corned beef and broth was succulent, delicately spiced with ginger and cloves or allspice (or both). Small tender potatoes were saturated in the seasoned broth. The cabbage was soft without being broken down and the carrots were sweet and savory. I didn’t know what Irish soda bread was, but after tasting this slice, I’m eager to learn more. The soft, medium-density bread had a hint of salt. It was embedded with little nuggets of sweetness in the form of golden raisins and carroway seeds were sprinkled intermittently throughout. The bread wasn’t dry, but it wasn’t caky either. Rich and simple, it was sublime even without butter, and I wish I had a whole loaf of it here with me right now.

In every bite, this dish showed me sophisticated flavor that any palate can appreciate, a high-class taste with down home comfort. Let’s talk about how you can try it out. First of all, this food was so blazing hot and fresh when Lisa gave it to me that all worry of contagion was banished. This virus is vulnerable to heat and it doesn’t take much to kill it, so after washing my hands and dishing it up with clean utensils, there was no fear in me. The easiest way to find out what and when Fudio is serving is to check its Facebook or Instagram page. There, Lisa will tell you about the special of the day and how to order. If you don’t have internet access, ask a friend to check and they can get Fudio’s phone number for you. My fear is these special newly opened and small places such as Fudio will struggle to survive during these trying times, and as good stewards of each other, we should do all we can to help our neighbors and our local businesses. If you feel comfortable, try carry out, and if you don’t, make sure you jot down Fudio’s name for the future. You can find Fudio in the Indie House at 605 Broadway in Cape Girardeau, and look forward to more pictures of my Corelle in the future.

Raid your in-home stores for dinner BY ELIZABETH KARMEL

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Just about now, you might be tired of cooking and eating what’s in your refrigerator. We are all used to asking what’s for dinner? What are we in the mood for — pizza, sushi, Mexican? And then going to a restaurant to get it. Now, with the coronavirus forcing many of us to stay home more, it’s time to look at mealtime and cooking at home a little differently. Instead of asking, ‘What I am in the mood for?’ I am looking more closely in my pantry and my refrigerator and letting my ingredients dictate what I make. For example, a few months ago, I was lured to purchase a big bag of mixed unsalted nuts because they were labeled “Omega-3 Nut Mix.” I

thought I would eat a handful of “antioxidants” a day for my health, but they have gone largely uneaten. So, this week, I mixed up my favorite sweet and savory spices with both brown and white sugar and made my baked Sugar and Spice Candied Nuts. Sure, the sugar adds a few more calories, but now they are a delicious and welcome nibble instead of sitting unused in the pantry. Likewise, I had a head of broccoli in the refrigerator that needed cooking. I couldn’t bear the thought of steamed broccoli, so I decided to roast it simply with olive oil and kosher salt at 400 degrees Fahrenheit until the tips were deeply caramelized. Broccoli is addictive roasted this way, as is cauliﬂower, and any leftovers are delicious the next day with a

drizzle of balsamic vinegar and good olive oil. If you have a pork tenderloin and a package of bacon in your fridge or freezer, you can make a simple two-ingredient main dish. A bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin dresses up your pork preparation with few ingredients and only a little more effort. If the bacon is room temperature, it will stick to itself as you overlap each piece and wrap the tenderloin. I do this with beef tenderloin as well. The smoky ﬂavor and fat of the center-cut bacon both protects and bastes the lean meat as it roasts. I grill mine indirectly, but you can roast it in an 350 degree Fahrenheit oven set on a rack in a sheet pan. When the bacon-wrapped tenderloin is done, sprinkle it with your ﬁnishing salt and carve into

thick slices to enjoy the beneﬁt of the bacon crust. Finally, while you are cooking dinner at home, think about each meal in simple terms: a main (usually an animal protein, or a bean or hearty vegetable dish), a green or other non-starchy vegetable, and a starch. That menu combination is easy enough to prepare and still very satisfying. During this time of uncertainty, ease and comfort are equally important. If you are making a stew or a pot of gumbo that has vegetables and protein in it, all you need to add is a starch like rice or fresh, hot cornbread. And enjoy the cooking. A friend of mine at Traeger Wood Fired Grills sent an email this week and reminded me that “good food equals good mood.” Pass it along!

Death of 8-year-old girl with special needs investigated BY BEN MATTHEWS

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN The parents of an 8-yearold Bollinger County girl with myotonic dystrophy were taken into police custody after their daughter was found dead Saturday in Bollinger County. Complaints and probable-cause statements were ﬁled Monday in cases against Michael C. Maddock, 52, and his wife, Heather J. Maddock, 37, both of Marble Hill, Missouri, and according to Prosecutor Stephen Gray, arrest warrants may be ﬁled once all

autopsy tests are completed. This is an ongoing case regarding an active investigation, and prosecutors may file or amend charges as legal proceedings continue. On Saturday, according to documents filed in court, members of the Bollinger County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of an unresponsive 8-year-old girl on Bollinger County Road 302 at 7:58 p.m., and the first responders observed the victim was not breathing and had no pulse. She was declared deceased by Bollinger County EMS and was observed to have an

approximate weight of 34 pounds with bugs infested throughout her body, according to a probable-cause affidavit written and signed by Bollinger County sheriff’s deputy Nick Becker. An autopsy of the victim was conducted Sunday, but no official cause of death has been provided. In the affidavit, the deputy noted he had been informed “the infestation of bugs throughout her hair, scalp, forehead, face, chest and abdomen were identiﬁed as adult lice, larva, and feces.” “After I collected that information, I instructed Corporal Stevens and Deputy Miller to make contact with and arrest Heather and Mike,” Becker wrote. The affidavit goes on to state the parents were placed under arrest at 3:51 p.m. Sunday on 24-hour pre-trial holds. According to the affidavit, Becker reviewed multiple documents from the Missouri Children’s Division in reference to reports and hotline calls regarding the now-deceased juvenile female, and at least seven reports of concern for the victim were recorded between Sept. 24, 2014, and Oct. 30, 2019. “Those reports indicate concerns for maltreatment/

medical neglect, failure to meet doctors appointments and medical requirements, verbal threats of physical harm to [the victim], reoccurring lice infestation, unsanitary living conditions, drug use and distribution, and concern that [the victim] could pass away due to the lack of medical attention,” Becker wrote. Becker stated he audio recorded his interviews with each of the parents as they were held in custody at the Bollinger County Jail on investigative holds. After the 24-hour pre-trial investigative holding period had passed, both parents were released from police custody. During the interviews, the Maddocks identiﬁed themselves as the biological parents of the victim and admitted to using methamphetamine in the days leading up to the victim’s death, Becker stated. According to the affidavit, both parents said they were unaware of what could have caused their daughter’s death. Michael Maddock has multiple prior convictions for driving while intoxicated, and both parents have pleaded guilty to prior charges of drug possession.

Kati Knaup named Counselor of Year BY MARYBETH NIEDERKORN

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN

Cape Girardeau school counselor Kati Knaup was recently named the 2020 Southeast Missouri School Counselor Association’s Elementary Counselor of the Year, the school district announced. The surprise award was made at the organization’s recent banquet, held at the Cape Career & Technology Center, said district spokeswoman Kristin Tallent. Knaup joined Blanchard Elementary in fall 2014, Tallent said, and has served as a school counselor for six years. “Working directly with students is what I love most about my job,” Knaup said in a news release. “I am the most fulﬁlled as a school counselor when I am working with individual students and small groups.” She continued, “School counseling has changed a lot since I was a student. Most people are surprised to know how much time I spend with students teaching skills proactively. Many view the school counselor as the person who helps students when there is a problem at home or school. This is true. However, I

She also holds a Masters of Science in education from Southern Illinois University in Carbondale and is pursuing a specialist in school counseling.

Scott City man pleads guilty to shooting at Cape police officers BY BEN MATTHEWS

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN A Scott City man pleaded guilty to one Class X felony count Tuesday in an ongoing Alexander County, Illinois, criminal case related to a Jan. 18 police pursuit beginning in Cape Girardeau and ending near McClure, Illinois. Cameron W. Cook, 25, of Scott City entered an open plea of guilt to one of the three Class X felony counts filed against him for aggravated discharge of a firearm, according to court filings. The other two Class X felony charges were dismissed as per conditions of Cook’s plea, which was knowingly and voluntarily made, according to court documents.

Charging documents were filed in criminal cases against Cook and Charles A. Franz after the Jan. 18 police chase. Court documents identify Franz as the driver of the suspect vehicle, which rammed a Cape Girardeau officer’s patrol vehicle, and Cook as the passenger who fired a long rifle at pursuing peace officers. The state agreed to cap its recommended sentence to 15 years, and a sentencing hearing is set for 1 p.m. June 4 in Alexander County. Cook and Franz remain in Illinois under the custody of law enforcement. Current court filings list the next hearings in the criminal case against Franz will be a March 31 pretrial, followed by an April 21 jury trial.

Alene was born Nov. 22, 1930, on the family farm near Bloomﬁeld, Missouri, the second daughter of Herbert and Joyce McClard Shipman. She married Bob Matthews on March 27, 1948, in Bloomﬁeld. Alene worked as an instructional assistant for the Sikeston (Missouri) School District for several years. But the work she cherished most was as a loving wife and mother. She was a member of Centenary United Methodist Church and volunteered for numerous church and community events.

Wilma Fausett Owen SIKESTON, Mo. — Wilma Lee Fausett Owen, 91, passed away peacefully with her two sons by her side on the ﬁrst day of spring, Thursday, March 19, 2020. She was born Dec. 17, 1928, in Parma, Missouri, daughter of Fred and Dorothy Wilma Owen Powell. She married Charles David “Charly” Fausett on Dec. 28, 1946, and he preceded her death Sept. 19, 1972. They owned and operated Fausett Distributing Co. Even following Charles’ untimely death, Wilma continued to operate the company until the time it was sold. Charles and Wilma were actively involved in the Sikeston community. Wilma was a charter member of the Women’s Jaycees and loved her bridge club and church. Wilma taught for more than 35 years, primarily for the Sikeston School District. Her passion was teaching her ﬁrst-graders, which she fondly remembered with a smile on her face. It brought her so much joy when she would see former students out on the town. She loved each one of them. Wilma later married Walter “Calvin” Owen on Aug. 18, 1978. He also preceded her in death April 30, 2014. Some of their fondest memories included dancing, antiquing, traveling internationally, working in their yard and garden, and spending time with the grandchildren. Some of her fondest times included getting up on Friday and Saturday mornings

and going to garage sales, thrift stores, antique stores and ﬂea markets on the hunt for unusual antiques. She would often say the sounds of roosters crowing at the Sikeston Trade Winds, which she was able to hear when walking out the back door, were music to her ears. As a hobby, she bought and sold antiques and was a longtime member of the area’s antique culture, in which she made many friends. Wilma was known for her resilience, suffering many losses throughout her life. She faced difficulties with strength and grace, for which her family will remember her. Along with her many talents and attributes, Wilma had an eye for fashion and was always dressed to impress. She never lost her love for that, even as she grew older. Wilma is survived by her sons, Charles David (Regina) Fausett of Bartlett, Tennessee, and Mark Steven (Kathy) Fausett of Jackson; granddaughters, Charly (Jesse) Essner of Jackson and Lauren Fausett of Bartlett; and great-granddaughter, Remley Kate Essner of Jackson. A private graveside service was held Tuesday in Sikeston. Wilma would want donations to be made to Sikeston Public School Foundation, 1002 Virginia St., Sikeston MO 63801. Ponder Funeral Home in Sikeston was in charge of arrangements.

Roy Garnier “Gary” Squires, 87, of Cape Girardeau died at 7:18 a.m. Tuesday, March 24, 2020, at Chateau Girardeau Assisted Living. He was born Sept. 13, 1932, in St. Louis to Roy and Rose Garnier Squires. He and Mary Ann Travers were married Aug. 19, 1954, at Mound City, Illinois. She preceded him in death March 29, 2003. Gary was a veteran of the U.S. Air Force, where he served as a military policeman during the Korean War. He was owner and operator of Gary’s Shell Service in Cairo, Illinois, more than 25 years. Later in life, he became an avid golfer and was a golf pro for Dalhousie, Cape Girardeau Country Club and Arena Golf. He also coached several golf teams in the area, including Southeast Missouri State University’s team. He was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Mound City. Survivors include his daughters, Julie (Larry Hicks) Klein of Grantsburg, Illinois, Karen (Gary II) Goins of Pulaski, Illinois and Amy (Don Wren) Keistler of Villa Ridge, Illinois; grandchildren, Kelly (Randy Moallankamp) Hill of Grand Chain, Illinois, Jared (Jessica) Klein of Dongola, Illinois, Bryan (Jackalyn) Cravens of Pulaski, Sara

(Dustin) Simmons of Jackson, Kaela (Jason) Wilcutt of Liberty, Mississippi, Charles (Cassidy) Holman of Jackson, John (Sasha) Keistler IV of Villa Ridge, Jacob Klein of Cape Girardeau and Gary (Becky) Goins III of Fort Lauderdale, Florida; and 12 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents; wife, Mary Ann Squires; daughter, Mary Jane “M.J.” Holman; and grandson, Jason “Country” Klein. Gary — dear father and grandfather — deserves a beautiful tribute. However, due to current gathering restrictions, the visitation will be for family only today at Ford and Sons Mount Auburn Funeral Home in Cape Girardeau. Please be with the family in prayer or by signing the online guest book at fordandsonsfuneralhome.com. A private graveside service, with military honors provided by Mounds, Illinois, Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8891, will be today at St. Mary’s Cemetery in Mounds, with the Rev. Roy “Buddy” Walls officiating. Memorial contributions may be given to Chateau Girardeau Foundation, 3120 Independence St., Cape Girardeau, MO 63703, or St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105.

Cecilia Walton FAIRVIEW HEIGHTS, Ill. — Cecilia Marie Walton, 89, of Fairview Heights, formerly of Chaffee, Missouri, died Monday, March 16, 2020, at Belleville Memorial Hospital in Belleville, Illinois. She was born Feb. 23, 1931, in rural Chaffee to John Anthony and Bertha Lorena Lauck Halter. She worked at J.C. Penney for 21 years. She was of the Catholic faith. Cecilia is survived by her son, Frank Clyde Walton Sr.; daughter, Cecilia Marie

“June” Carey; sisters, Lorene Francis Halter, Elizabeth Jeanette Stubbs and Anna Mae Smith; four grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren.

Donna Yount SEDGEWICKVILLE, Mo. — Donna Mae Yount, 82, passed away Tuesday, March 17, 2020, at her home in Sedgewickville. She was born Feb. 1, 1938, in Patton, Missouri, to Truman and Mattie Mungle Heitman, the fourth of seven daughters. On June 9, 1956, she married William Franklin Yount, and together they had two children, Kevin Franklin (Sabine) Yount and Pamela Dawn (Terry) Drake. She was a proud grandmother and great-grandmother to Chelsie (Romain) André-Yount and her daughter, Marguerite; Tyler Yount; Caitlyn (Richard) Drozda-Mattingly, and her son, Oliver; and Kirsti Drozda and her daughter, Kora. Donna was preceded in death by her parents, her husband and a sister. Donna was an incredible wife, mother, sister, daughter and friend. She laughed easily, and one did not stay downhearted when Donna’s laughter ﬁlled the air. She was a wonderful cook/baker and was always gracious to anyone who entered her home. She was also an extraordinary needle worker, dressmaker and tailor throughout her life, creating beautiful formal wear for hundreds

of people, and putting exceptional care into closets of clothing and Halloween costumes for her beloved grandchildren. Her thoughtfulness was remarkable, remembering relatives’ birthdays and anniversaries with hand-picked cards. She always remained curious and read extensively, sharing things of interest with the Blue Creek Quilters as they worked and visited around many years of quilts. She was a member of Reagan’s Chapel United Methodist Church and United Methodist Women. She was a long-time volunteer at the harvest festival and other church work. Donna was buried next to her beloved husband in a private service at Yount Community Cemetery. In lieu of ﬂowers, the family requests donations to the giver’s favorite charity to help those less fortunate.

Cape man living in Philippines returns home because of COVID-19 concerns BY RACHAEL LONG

Andrew Bard poses for a selfie in November with a business partner at an assembly plant in Dongguan, China.

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN For Andrew Bard, “working from home” meant flying more than 8,000 miles from Manila, Philippines, to Cape Girardeau, his home since 1998. When Bard moved to the Philippines in late 2018, he never expected he soon would be running a successful electric scooter company. He also didn’t expect to be on a return flight to the United States until June. As the COVID-19 pandemic intensified over the last week, however, Bard found himself making earlier plans to travel back to Missouri with his business partner and significant other, Michelle Antallan. The couple had little notice to leave the country before international travel would be prohibited. Bard clarified some international travel is still allowed, but as a U.S. citizen, he will not be able to return right away. His return trip to the Philippines is slated for September. Bard now plans to work from home and do maintenance work on his 150-yearold home in downtown Cape Girardeau, which he said is listed as an Airbnb rental. “We’ll be focusing on the house, cleaning it, fixing things,” he said. “We’ll be putting chickens in the back yard ... putting a garden in, working on the fruit trees. So the goal right now is to get the property as productive as possible while still working on the Philippines company.” Bard’s company, EcoRide, works with a Chinese factory, which he said has temporarily switched its focus to producing respirator face masks to help with the shortage facing hospitals and health care professionals all over the world. “That’s a charity thing,” he said. “We’re getting [materials] at my cost ... and I’m doing logistics and coordination just as a service.” Bard moved to the Philippines in search of a more relaxed lifestyle. Before leaving Cape Girardeau, he was the president and owner of the electronics repair company, Computer 21, and said he was working about 60 or 70 hours each week. Of course, starting a company in a foreign place was no walk in the park. Even so, Bard said he loved the process of figuring it all out. “It was hectic,” he remembered. “I was trying to figure out the legal system, figuring out how their taxes worked, trying to find employees, accountants [and] set up connections with retailers on top of being worried about production times, money transfers, warranty issues. I mean, it was a lot of work. But I ... loved it.”

Businesses From Page 1A Last week, the Jackson chamber urged its membership to support restaurants in the Jackson and Cape Girardeau areas with a campaign called “Make Up. Pick Up. Stand Up.” In other words, “make up” your mind where to eat, “pick up” your food and “stand up” for local

There are two main issues facing the densely populated Philippines capital city of Manila, Bard said: long commute times and pollution. That’s why he started EcoRide, which provides personal electric vehicles (PEV) to folks who Bard said would otherwise spend a sizable part of their income on transportation costs. “The average person was spending about 4,300 pesos a month on transport costs,” Bard said. “When they got a scooter, even if you included repairs and times they couldn’t ride because it was raining and they had to go back to their old commutes, they were still only spending 1,100 [pesos] a month. So it’s a signiﬁcant gamechanger. ... It’s a good solution.” For residents whose commute time had previously been an hour and 38 minutes, Bard said the scooters cut that time down to just 24 minutes. The initial idea for EcoRide was born during an outing to one of his favorite Indian restaurants, a destination whose commute took an hour and 15 minutes, but which Bard said was only a mile from his home. That morning, Bard was having breakfast with a friend and

watched an electric kick scooter go by. “I thought ... ‘We could do that, I mean, we can make that,’” he recalled saying. “‘That’s not that difficult, mechanically ... it’s a very simple machine. It’s got simple mechanics. I know I could do that.’” Tapping into what he calls the “American superpower” — the ability to complain about anything and everything — Bard bought two scooters and set out to discover everything that wasn’t perfect about them. He wanted to design a scooter without the ﬂaws he found in existing models. He then spent three months in online chat rooms and on subreddit threads trying to get a full picture of what people thought about scooters and their designs. He outlined nine improvements to work on and began looking for manufacturers. After a trip to Hong Kong, in which he had meetings with 13 manufacturers in three days, Bard found an engineer he could work with, and, six months later, the company is in its fourth round of production. “Our process was, [during] every production run, I

businesses. In an email about the campaign to its members, the chamber listed nearly 30 area restaurants that offer drive-through, delivery and/ or take out menu items. According to survey conducted Friday by the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), 76% of small businesses in America are being negatively impacted by the coronavirus outbreak while only 5% say the impact has been positive. Those businesses,

according to NFIB, are likely providing “essential services” or are experiencing stronger sales due to a sharp rise in demand for certain products, goods or services. Of the businesses that are being negatively impacted, the NFIB survey found 23% are experiencing supply-chain disruptions, 54% are seeing slower sales and 9% report having more sick employees than usual. In Missouri, 80% of the state’s businesses have few-

[would] take all the information from customers, all the complaints, all the warranty issues, everything, and compile them into the top 10 things that need to be fixed,” Bard said. “And then I fixed them on the next production run.” EcoRide made $140,000 in its first six months, an outcome Bard noted was “pretty decent for a company that literally no one even knew existed” six months earlier. Word travels fast in the Philippines, he said. “They are the tightest knit community of 122 million people I’ve ever seen in my life,” Bard said. “People talk and talk and talk ... so anything you do that’s good gets around really, really quick. So for a company that’s as young as we are, we’ve got an enormous amount of interest.” Bard said his retailers had been averaging 30 to 40 customer inquiries each day. His company has achieved its “good name” because of the care he puts into the product, Bard said, noting decent customer service in the Philippines is “just not that common.” For every person EcoRide has made happy, Bard said about three to five more tend to follow. “We’re growing quickly,” he said. While much of the process to set up his company was new, working remotely is not. As he talked by phone Tuesday, Bard said he and Antallan were sitting with their laptops open and working on EcoRide business. And as for the company’s early success, Bard pointed to his partner. “I credit Michelle’s ability to advertise on Facebook. She’s ridiculously good at that. ... She got the word out, people were involved, they were engaged,” he said. “She’s good at sales, and I’m good at design and fixing things. So with the two of us, it works really well.” For more information about EcoRide, visit ecoride.ph.

OUR OPINION

Be sure to complete census questionnaire Missouri residents should have received invitations to complete the 2020 Census. Your participation is vital when it comes to funding of programs and representation in government. The questionnaire can be completed with the paper copy or online at my2020census.gov according to Melissa Stickel, executive director of Community Partnership. Stickel was appointed by Cape Girardeau Mayor Bob Fox to head efforts for Cape Girardeau County. Due to the coronavirus, census workers will not be going door to door until late May, Stickel told the Southeast Missourian on Tuesday. Workers will focus on households who have yet to submit a questionnaire. They will be identiﬁed with an official badge and clothing and have a bag with the official census logo. “First thing they’ll do is show their badge,” Stickel said. Census workers will not ask for your Social Security numbers or political or religious affiliations, Stickel said. COVID-19 has led to school closures and alterations. However, Stickel said college students are counted based on where they were scheduled to live during the spring semester. She said SEMO is spearheading efforts to count students who were in the dorms before the campus closed, but those who were living off campus and have now left for the balance of the semester should still count themselves as if they were still living in Cape Girardeau. Those who need assistance completing the questionnaire may call Community Partnership at (573) 651-3747.

BOARD COLUMN

Some good news in the analysis of COVID-19 rates I

t’s stunning how fast events are moving. Two weeks ago I was deliberating traveling with family to New Orleans, a place with no identified cases of coronavirus at the time. Now, New Orleans is one of the hot zones for the virus. In a matter of days, Missouri went from a couple known cases to more than 250 and climbing fast. Perry County is ON K under order from county authorities to UST “shelter in place.” With tests now becoming more readily available — and in many places the requirements to be tested relaxing — the higher numbers are not a surprise. Federal authorities have been alerting us this would be the case. The widespread growth of the coronavirus is why we should all be careful to social distance properly, wash hands frequently and follow the health directives from authorities. Such care is especially important to protect the elderly and those with underlying medical conditions. Even those less vulnerable to the effects of the virus must be vigilant; victims of the disease include young and otherwise healthy people, too. But there is some good news emerging from the numbers. As they learn more, some experts are seeing a less deadly virus than originally predicted. According to two professors of medicine at Stanford who have studied how the “epidemic seed” has traveled, prior modeling of the fatality rate is “deeply flawed” because it focuses on the number of deaths from identified positive cases (rather than on “the portion of those infected who die.”). “Projections of the death toll could plausibly be orders of magnitude too high,” Dr. Eran Bendavid and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya write in the Wall Street Journal. Their analysis underlines that current tests used to identify cases don’t catch people who were infected and recovered. “Second, testing rates were woefully low for a long time and typically reserved for the severely ill.” From their analysis, epidemiological modelers are overstating the percentage of those who die from the virus. “If we’re right about the limited scale of the epidemic,” they write, “then measures focused on older populations and hospitals are sensible. Elective procedures will need to be rescheduled. Hospital resources will need to be reallocated to care for critically ill patients. Triage will need to improve. And policy makers will need to focus on reducing risks for older adults and people with underlying medical conditions.” But overall deaths will be far from what’s been originally projected, they write, likely even much less than the flu mortality rate. To them and all of us, that’s great “cause for optimism.” Still, even if COVID-19 turns out to have a lower mortality rate than originally predicted, it remains high risk, because its fast onset can overwhelm current medical equipment. That’s why “flattening the curve” is paramount. Nevertheless, hearing something optimistic is refreshing. Another group at high risk because of COVID-19 is health care workers. Because of the virus’ transmissiveness, it is difficult and imperative for them to stay safe. We owe them not only our deep gratitude for their commitment to public health, we owe them our care in following health guidelines. These include calling the appropriate numbers if feeling symptoms — and not showing up to health care providers unannounced. Saint Francis has set up a Coronavirus Community Nurse Hotline at (573) 331-4200. Your company health insurance may also provide a help line. Be sure to call if you have any questions. In addition, Saint Francis, SoutheastHEALTH, Cape Girardeau County Public Health and the City of Cape Girardeau have set up a test collection center in Arena Park. The Center is by appointment only and pre-screening is required. Anyone seeking a test must first call the Coronavirus Community Nurse Hotline at (573) 331-4200. Hopefully in the near future, test requirements will be relaxed so we can all understand this virus better and reduce anxiety. But for now strict guidelines remain. Be safe everyone. Prayers are with you. We will get through this.

Trump’s strategic foresight is being put to the test T

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON

he ancient Greeks believed that true leadership in crisis came down to what they called pronoia — the Greek word for “strategic foresight.” Some statesman, such as Pericles and Themistocles, had it. Most others, such as the often brilliant and charismatic but impulsive Alcibiades, usually

did not. “Foresight” in crisis means sizing up a nation’s assets and debits, then maximizing advantages and minimizing liabilities. The leader with foresight, especially in times of irrational despair, then charts a rational pathway victory. Such crisis leaders do not fall into panic and depression when the media shouts “Catastrophe!” Nor do they preen when the same chorus screams “Genius!” in times of success. The English poet Rudyard Kipling would have deﬁned such a gift as, “If you can keep your head when all about you/Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,” or, “If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster/And treat those two impostors just the same.” Some American military leaders — such as Gens. George Patton, William Tecumseh Sherman and Curtis LeMay — sounded as scary in times of peace as they did in times of war. The traits ensuring that peacetime life stays predictable are not always the same as those required to return it to predictability when times turn utterly terrifying. During the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln knew the overwhelming advantages of the Union could eventually defeat the South, but only if he could hold the nation together through

disasters such as the battles of Bull Run and Chancellorsville, and only once he found brilliant generals such as Sherman and Ulysses S. Grant. In World War II, Winston Churchill proved perhaps the most impressive wartime leader in history. During Britain’s darkest hours of nonstop German bombing of London, he knew that declining British assets were still greater than an ascendant Germany’s advantages. Eventually, despite razor-thin margins of error, these assets would ensure victory. Churchill was assured that Britain had a great navy and Germany did not. Britain would soon have as allies America and Russia, both far stronger than German partners Italy and Japan. Churchill foresaw that the economies of those future allies would be far superior to those of the Axis. And Churchill grasped all this even as defeat loomed and some in his own party were calling for him to negotiate with Adolf Hitler. Franklin D. Roosevelt likewise had foresight. In the nightmarish days after Pearl Harbor, FDR calmly unleashed private enterprise to rearm America at what he knew would be an astonishing rate. Roosevelt promised victory not because he knew it would be quick, but because he calculated that if he just made the right choices, the ensuing advantages of the U.S. world surely ensure victory. Even in the first bleak days of the war, FDR kept reminding the nation why and how America would win. That confidence was not based on fantasies but on rational calculation and justified optimism. In the present crisis of the coronavirus, what will determine the effectiveness of President Donald Trump’s leadership is not what the media screams today or the polls say

tomorrow. The praise of his supporters or the predictable damnation of his enemies won’t matter. Rather, Trump will win or lose on whether he has strategic foresight. If he panics and keeps the country locked down for too long, we will go into depression that will cost more lives than the virus. But if Trump prematurely declares victory and urges Americans to rush back to normal life, he may reboot the virus and reignite another cycle of panic. Instead, Trump will have to possess the conﬁdence to see how the world’s greatest economy, greatest medical talent, greatest military and greatest energy and food production can all be marshaled in a symphonic fashion. That correct formula could fend off a potentially biblical plague without destroying the largest economy in history. If Trump exhibits such cunning and wisdom, then he can balance the consensus of his medical experts that the virus is existentially dangerous with the warnings of his economic advisers that shutting down a multitrillion economy can become even more ruinous — and lethal — for Americans. Like Churchill, Trump must have the right information but also the instincts to determine which expert advice is suspect and which is inspired, and which orthodox recommendation is wrong and which unorthodox alternative is right. Do that, and Trump can defeat the virus, save the economy and turn a disaster into a collective American victory over both infection and depression. Such foresight can also remind the nation never again to outsource key industries to China, and not to listen to those who always predict catastrophe in bleak times, only to later take credit for others’ victories.

Dems needlessly delayed emergency aid for partisan gain

MARC THIESSEN

Editor’s note: A bipartisan agreement was reached Wednesday by U.S. Senate leadership and the Trump administration. Speaker Nancy Pelosi has not set a time for the House to review the legislation but said she is optimistic.

or the first time in history, the U.S. government is intentionally putting the American economy into a recession — requiring businesses to stop operating and workers to stay home, to stop the spread of the deadly novel coronavirus. This has never been done before, and the stakes are incredibly high. If we act quickly to keep businesses afloat and workers employed, there is a strong chance we can create a “V-shaped” recession — a steep, rapid decline, followed by an equally steep, rapid recovery once the danger from the virus has been mitigated. But if we delay, and millions of businesses go under, we may enter not just a recession but a full-fledged depression. But at this critical moment, when Americans needed their leaders in Congress to rise above their differences and work together to save the country, Democrats decided to take the American economy hostage by blocking a $1.8 trillion bipartisan emergency relief bill. Only a few days ago, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., was expressing his “delight and surprise” at the bipartisan cooperation in crafting the bill. He was right. Conservatives who abhor government intervention in the economy came together with Democrats to support the largest intervention in U.S. history.

They agreed to provide direct cash payments to Americans of up to $2,400 per couple and $500 per child. They embraced a bipartisan plan by Sens. Ben Cardin, D-Md., Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and Susan Collins, R-Maine, to provide more than $350 billion to small- and medium-sized businesses to cover payroll and rent, via loans that would be forgiven if the businesses don’t lay off workers. They backed a $250 billion expansion of unemployment insurance — which includes $600 a week more than a state normally pays each person — advocated by Democrats. They created a $500 billion “Exchange Stabilization Fund” — including $425 billion in loans and loan guarantees to be administered by the Federal Reserve — for businesses, states or municipalities hit hardest by the economic lockdown, money the Fed could leverage to inject as much as $4 trillion of liquidity into our struggling economy. And they agreed with Democrats to prohibit stock buybacks by any company that receives loans. The Senate appeared ready to pass this vital legislation Sunday — until suddenly Democrats balked. They attacked the stabilization program as a “slush fund” and started to issue demands that the relief bill include a host of left-wing priorities that had nothing to do with the coronavirus. Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., the House minority whip, told fellow Democrats in a conference call over the weekend that the relief bill was “a tremendous opportunity to restructure things to ﬁt our vision.” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi introduced competing legislation that included elements of Democrats’ Green New Deal, including a requirement that airlines fully offset their carbon emissions and list their greenhouse gas emissions from every ﬂight. It includes a requirement that any Rick Fahr, Editor

Rex Rust, Co-president

company receiving loans must report on pay equity and corporate board diversity, and adds other extraneous items such as guaranteed collective bargaining for all federal workers, a bailout for the U.S. Postal Service and requirements that all states allow early voting and same-day voter registration. With the backing of the Democrats’ presumptive nominee Joe Biden, Democrats have also demanded that any relief bill include a minimum of $10,000 per person in forgiveness for federal student loans, despite the fact that President Donald Trump already waived interest on those loans for 60 days starting March 13 and gave student borrowers the option to request a 60-day forbearance on repayments. Little or none of this is likely to become law. At this writing, Senate leaders are reportedly close to an agreement that will include tweaks to the legislation, such as a few extra weeks of enhanced unemployment payments, more money for hospitals, and tighter controls and oversight on the Exchange Stabilization Fund. But if those had been the extent of the Democrats’ demands, a deal could have been worked out Sunday night. The relief bill would already be signed into law, banks would already be extending lifesaving loans to keep businesses aﬂoat, and relief payments to struggling families would already be in the works. Instead, Democrats needlessly delayed the delivery of this emergency aid while American workers were losing their jobs and businesses teetered on the brink of bankruptcy. Americans will not forget that, at a critical juncture, Democrats tried to use the coronavirus pandemic as leverage to ram through a laundry list of left-wing agenda items. It will go down as one of the most shameful displays of partisanship in American history. Gary Rust, Chairman

Missouri reports more than 350 confirmed coronavirus cases ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUIS — Missouri health officials said Wednesday the state now has confirmed 356 cases of the coronavirus, an increase of 101 since Tuesday, as Gov. Mike Parson announced more steps to help fight the spread of the virus. The youngest of the eight deaths recorded in Missouri was a 31-year-old Red Cross employee who was buried Tuesday as her family watched from their cars. The American Red Cross Missouri-Arkansas Region said biomedical services employee Jazmond Dixon died in St. Louis, another Red Cross worker tested positive and another staff member is presumed to be positive. None of the three had contact with the public, KSDK reported. The other seven deaths include three women who lived at an assisted-living center in Springfield. A fourth resident of the Morningside East home is hospitalized.

For most people, the coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia and death. Parson on Wednesday announced he asked President Donald Trump to approve a federal disaster declaration that would allow the state to receive federal assistance to help the unemployed and to remove biohazardous materials. Public safety director Sandy Karsten said the governor on Wednesday shifted another $11 million from other areas of the state budget to buy more personal protective equipment, such as masks. Parson also encouraged farmers, grocers and other workers in the food industry to keep working unless they’re sick. And the governor announced during a

daily briefing the number of unemployment claims in the state in the past week is roughly equal to 30% of all claims in 2019. Cox South Hospital in Springfield said it plans to build what it calls a hospital within a hospital for COVID-19 patients. A currently vacant floor will be rebuilt into areas for patients needing ventilator support, using a large open room rather than individual rooms. It is expected to open by April 9. Steve Edwards, president and CEO of CoxHealth, said in a statement several floors of a new tower were left empty when the hospital doubled in size five years ago so they could be developed as needed. “A need in our community is now here, and we are ready to help our patients have the best chance of recovery that we can give them by developing some of that space,” Edwards said. “I pray it is never used.” The coronavirus is prompt-

ing the release of nearly ﬁve dozen St. Louis jail inmates. Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner said her office and the public defender’s office worked together to identify 56 people being held on charges for low-level crimes, or who have signiﬁcant health issues. They’re asking the court to release them pending trial. St. Louis County also is expected to soon release some inmates. Meanwhile, at least one Missouri college will not require ACT or SAT testing for potential incoming freshmen amid college entrance exam cancellations. Westminster College in Fulton said Wednesday it would evaluate applicants based on grade point average and other factors. The Missouri Supreme Court on Wednesday extended through April 17 its statewide suspension on in-person court proceedings. The state Supreme Court on March 16 had suspended in-person proceedings through April 3.

NEW ORLEANS — Barely a week ago, David McGraw was cooking daily for hundreds of fine diners at one of New Orleans’ illustrious restaurants. Today, he’s cooking for himself, at home — laid off along with hundreds of thousands of people across the U.S. in a massive economic upheaval spurred by efforts to slow the spread of the coronavirus. U.S. Department of Labor figures to be released today are expected to shatter the old record for the greatest number of new unemployment claims filed in a single week. There are more suddenly jobless Americans than during the Great Recession — and more than in the aftermath of major natural disasters such as hurricanes, fires and floods. But McGraw, and others like him, don’t need official numbers to understand the new realities of life in one of the nation’s hot spots for the virus that causes the COVID-19 disease. “The whole city, laid off. Everybody,” said McGraw, using an exaggeration that didn’t seem like much of one. “Everybody who worked at a restaurant is laid off.” Restaurants, hotels, airlines, automakers and entertainment venues all have been hit hard as cities, states and entire countries have ordered the closure of non-essential businesses and directed residents to remain at home. The goal is to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus. For most people, it causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks. But for some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia and death. Virus precautions have affected the worldwide economy. Companies in Europe are laying off workers at the fastest pace since the global financial crisis in 2009, according to surveys of business managers. Official labor statistics for

Keisha Henry poses for a portrait Tuesday inside her lounge and catering business in New Orleans. Henry said she lost about $10,000 in revenue last week after three big functions she was slated to cater ended up canceling. Meanwhile, she still has expenses related to launching a bar and lounge six months ago. Henry said she regrettably had to lay off several employees. Europe are not out, but companies have been announcing tens of thousands of job cuts, both permanent and temporary. The rise in joblessness may not be as sharp as in the U.S., however, because it is harder to fire workers in Europe, where many governments are supporting companies financially to keep workers on partially paid leave. Some economists project the U.S. could see around 3 million new unemployment insurance claims when figures are released for the week of March 15-21. That would be around 12 times as many as the previous week. “It’s going to be an astronomical increase,” said Constance Hunter, president of the National Association for Business Economists and chief economist at the accounting firm KPMG. “We don’t have any recorded history of anything like this.” In Labor Department records dating to 1967, the largest seasonally adjusted one-week number of new unemployment insurance claims was 695,000 in October 1982, when the national unemployment rate was around 10%.

cerns escalated this month, the U.S. unemployment rate had been at a 50-year-low of 3.5% That is certain to rise as the number of laid-off workers soars. In Louisiana alone, 71,000 people ﬁled new unemployment applications last week, compared to the usual 1,400 or 1,500 people per week, said state labor secretary Ava Dejoie. Louisiana has one of the highest per capita counts of coronavirus cases in the U.S. Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards has ordered nonessential businesses to close, limited restaurants to takeout and delivery, banned gatherings of more than 10 people and directed residents to remain at home. New Orleans restaurant owner and caterer Keisha Henry said she lost $10,000 in revenue last week after three big functions she was slated to cater ended up canceling.

don’t have enough capital to pay for the employees when we are not putting out a product,” she said. Workers can seek unemployment benefits from their home state immediately after losing their jobs. But it typically takes two to three weeks before they receive any money, because state agencies first have to contact their former employers to verify their work history and then calculate the amount of their weekly benefits based on their previous wages. That wait could last longer because of the sudden spike in unemployment claims. People should expect “that first benefit payments will take much longer than 21 days,” California’s Legislative Analyst’s Office warned earlier this week. California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Wednesday that 1 million unemployment claims had been filed in his state since March 13, a span a little longer than the federal reporting period. Until last week, many state unemployment agencies had been staffed to handle a comparative trickle of claims. Now they are scrambling to add workers to handle the influx.

here’s so much we can’t do right now, it’s important to focus on what we can do. A source told me that for an article I wrote last week, and it’s been pinging around in my mind ever since. I might not have gotten to see Mick Foley last weekend (he’s rescheduled for mid-June), but there were plenty of apples left ARYBETH in the produce section at a local grocery store, so I could make IEDERKORN an apple pie, and that was pretty great. I couldn’t visit with friends like I normally do on weekends, Marybeth is the but I could build a campﬁre in culture and events my backyard and turn my phone writer for the off while I tended it. I am not Southeast Missouworking from the newsroom rian. Have a story these days, but I am able to do my to share? Call her job remotely, which I am so hapat (573) 388-3632 or py about. I’ve swapped human coemail her at mnied- workers for my two cats, the gray erkorn@semissouone and the black one, who have rian.com. stepped on the keyboard during group chats exactly as often as you’d expect them to. I’ve been so fortunate through this. A lot of people haven’t been. I am keenly aware of that, as I work here in my house with its internet and its stockpiles of craft supplies and books and closets just itching to be organized. I’m not dealing with illness or with other people, much. My husband’s pretty great. So while I don’t have as many fun articles to write about events coming up, I am still talking with sources and working to inform people about what’s going on in our region. It’s what I can do. Some things you can do:

M N

Go for a walk, run, or bike ride. Dance. Staying active is so important when the temptation is there to curl up on the couch and watch “The Great British Baking Show” contestants wrestle with creme pat and chocolate mirror glaze, forever. Call your friends. Staying connected, being in contact with another human being, is important. From a distance. Finish tasks you’re putting off. I guarantee you’ll feel better if you acknowledge there’s a task you’re avoiding, then do it. For me, that was the census response (took less than 10 minutes!), my taxes, and a basket of fabric strips that I started working into a rug over a year ago. Shake off the guilt and shame and do the thing! Organize something. Drawers, closets, that entire room of your house you’ve walled off because the sheer magnitude of stuff in there, and deciding what to do with all of it -- time to tackle it. I recommend setting a timer for 10 minutes. That helps me. Maybe it’ll help you.

Use the for-special thing. Maybe that’s the fancy bubble bath, or the “good” dishes, or the clothes you bought to attend your cousin’s wedding and haven’t worn since. Maybe a friend gave you some delicious loose-leaf tea for a Christmas gift in 2018 and you haven’t taken enough time to properly enjoy it (not that I’m drawing from personal experience or anything). Seize the moment! Deep clean. Even if all you do is wipe out your microwave, that’s progress! Watch movies you haven’t watched in ages. I’m halfway through my Will Ferrell movie collection as of this writing. Look at old photos. Tell the stories, if you’re lucky enough to have someone there who’ll listen. Take a page out of Susan McClanahan’s playbook and make a dish out of food you bought because it seemed like a good idea at the time. I’m coming across all kinds of canned goods I’ve had all along, and it’s nice to be rattling pans and wondering if these ingredients will work together. So far, no major disasters. Casseroles are forgiving. Slow your mind. Maybe meditating isn’t your thing, but you can still try some breathing exercises. Find a quiet place to sit (I know, easier said than done), get comfortable, let your muscles relax, close your eyes, and breathe in, all the way to the bottom of your lungs. Count while you’re doing that. Then, slowly, slowly, exhale for the same count. Repeat. Go for a drive. Just don’t get out of your car. We have incredible views, and now with plants starting to bud out, there’s plenty to look at. Get gift certificates. I saw this suggestion online recently, and I think it’s a great idea to contact restaurants, haircut providers, anyone else who offers gift certificates, and buy one for the time after we’re done with self-quarantine. Gives them a bit of operating capital and gives you something to look forward to. What’s not to love? Go for a hike. We have so many trails in and near Cape Girardeau! As of this writing, Missouri state park trails are still open, and hiking is a great way to get outside and enjoy the sights, sounds, scents of Missouri’s natural areas.

Lindsey Grojean, left, and Landon Schnurbusch, who make up the musical duo Lindsey & Landon, have started posting videos called “Pajama Jazz,” in which they wear pajamas and perform jazzy tunes.

‘Pajama Jazz’ moves Lindsey & Landon concert party online BY MARYBETH NIEDERKORN

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN

With venues closed and gatherings of more than 10 people canceled or postponed, musicians across the globe are hit with the same question: What do we do with this? For Cape Girardeau musical duo Lindsey & Landon, who perform at weddings and other venues in the region, the answer is “Pajama Jazz.” That’s the name they’ve given to Facebook videos they’re working into a series, where the duo — Lindsey Grojean, who majored in vocal performance at Southeast Missouri State University and works for KRCU, Cape Girardeau’s National Public Radio affiliate, and Landon Schnurbusch, a music composition student at Southeast who is a pianist at Maple United Methodist Church in Cape Girardeau — wear pajamas and performs jazzy tunes. “My brides and people who’d planned private events, those are having to be rescheduled,” Grojean said. “It breaks my heart, not so much because of the ﬁnancial piece, but because we love playing for people.” “Pajama Jazz” is their substitute, she said. It’s not really possible to duplicate the experience of a live performance, but “It’s fun in its own way,” Schnurbusch said. The duo had always planned to try to up their social media presence with videos, and this gave them the opportunity to dive into recording. “This break, social distancing, has forced us to connect to our digital audience a little more,” Grojean said. So, they took existing gear, a music genre they both love, and, in Grojean’s words, got comfy. “We want to make it look and sound really good, really clean,” Schnurbusch said. “We could set our phone up on something and use the built-in microphone, take a little video, but we’re trying to take a little bit of extra time to get good audio and video.” Grojean handles the video editing, stringing together a blooper reel at the beginning of each video, then syncing the audio to the video. “We’re focused on quality over quantity,” Grojean said, since poor quality would detract from the experience. “We’re also just trying to

have fun,” Grojean added. “We’re posting these videos because people need some fun, too.” “I don’t think it’s too big a deal,” Schnurbusch said. “It’s just something kind of fun. If someone watches and thinks it’s kind of funny — ” Grojean jumped in: “If it gets a laugh, we’ve done our job.” Grojean said she and Schnurbusch are appreciative venues are canceling or suspending events. “I really do have concern for our older audience,” she said. One thing Grojean misses about live performance is the connection with people. “I miss them,” Grojean said. “Hopefully this is a good substitute.” The duo will record four or ﬁve songs, multiple takes, and pick their favorites to air. “Landon and I really enjoy jazz,” Grojean said. “We’re passionate about it. A lot of the songs are written about silly or mundane things that don’t seem to matter much. I think that goes with our silly aesthetic.” “You don’t have to overthink it,” Schnurbusch said. And it’s relaxing, and it’s a great way to keep them both practicing, Grojean added. “What else were we going to do?” Schnurbusch quipped. “It’s great that people are sharing their art,” Grojean said. “We really enjoy that other people are enjoying it, and it’s small enough that we can be genuine and respond to people.” “We love to hear from people,” Schnurbusch said. “It’s nice when people tell us they enjoyed it.” It’s also a great way to connect with family while they can’t physically be present together, Grojean said. And, she added, it’s fun to see Jimmy Fallon and Lin-Manuel Miranda performing in their living rooms. “They don’t look much different from ours,” she said. “We’re on the same plane, we’re all doing our best. It’s nice to feel that, and nice for people to see us in our PJs. It’s not that glamorous. We’re living life, relaxing in our PJs and taking it one day at a time.” Get your weekend plans delivered to your inbox. Sign up for the Expedition: Weekend email newsletter.

Workers are seen at the drive-through testing center in Arena Park as rain falls Tuesday, March 24, 2020, in Cape Girardeau. The testing facility operates on an appointment-only basis, and is a combined effort between Saint Francis Healthcare System, SoutheastHEALTH, and the Cape Girardeau County Health Department in response to the coronavirus. A prescreening process must be conducted before an appointment can be scheduled. Prescreening can be performed by calling the local coronavirus hotline at (573) 331-4200 between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. conservative Republican senators from states who economies are dominated by low-wage jobs demanded changes, saying the legislation as written might give workers like store clerks incentives to stay on unemployment instead of returning return to their jobs since they may earn more money if they’re laid off than if they’re working. They settled for a failed vote to modify the provision. Other objections ﬂoated in from New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has become a prominent Democrat on the national scene as the country battles the pandemic. Cuomo, whose state has seen more deaths from the pandemic than any other, said, “I’m telling you, these numbers don’t work.” Ardent liberals like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez were restless as well, but top Washington Democrats assured them that a additional coronavirus legislation will follow this spring and signaled that delaying the pending measure would be foolish. The sprawling measure is the third coronavirus response bill produced by Congress and by far the largest. It builds on efforts focused on vaccines and emergency response, sick and family medical leave for workers, and food aid.

ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The Senate late Wednesday passed an unparalleled $2.2 trillion economic rescue package steering aid to businesses, workers and health care systems engulfed by the coronavirus pandemic. The unanimous vote came despite misgivings on both sides about whether it goes too far or not far enough and capped days of difficult negotiations as Washington confronted a national challenge unlike it has ever faced. The 880-page measure is the largest economic relief bill in U.S. history. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., appeared somber and exhausted as he announced the vote – and he released senators from Washington until April 20, though he promised to recall them if needed. “The legislation now before us now is historic because it is meant to match a historic crisis,”said Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. “Our health care system is not prepared to care for the sick. Our workers are without work. Our businesses cannot do business. Our factories lie idle. The gears of the American economy have ground to a halt.” The package is intended as relief for an economy spiraling into recession or worse and a nation facing a grim toll from an infection that’s killed nearly 20,000 people worldwide. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, asked how long the aid would keep the economy aﬂoat, said: “We’ve anticipated three months. Hopefully, we won’t need this for three months.” Underscoring the effort’s sheer magnitude, the bill ﬁnances a response with a price tag that equals half the size of the entire $4 trillion annual federal budget. Insistently optimistic, President Donald Trump said of the greatest public-health emergency in anyone’s lifetime, “I don’t think its going to end up being such a rough patch” and anticipated the economy soaring “like a rocket ship” when it’s over. The drive by leaders to speed the bill through the Senate was slowed as four

1995 SIKESTON, Mo. — Retired lawyer and civic leader Robert A. Dempster, one of Southeast Missouri State University’s major benefactors, died Friday at his home at the age of 82 after an extended illness; Dempster was a devoted friend of the Cape Girardeau school; his wife, Lynn Dempster, is a member of Southeast’s Board of Regents.

That resonated with Weber. “His thing was ‘I want to be a head coach,’” Weber explained. “He knew that he had to recruit and he wanted that experience.” Korn remained in Springfield for three seasons before Weber brought him back to Kansas State as an assistant coach, where he has spent the past four seasons. “I knew him,” Weber said of re-hiring Korn. “I admired what he did. I appreciated what he did.” Korn has been making an impact with Weber since he was a teenager.

From Page 1B meantime, we content ourselves with DIY home projects, we’ll fire up our Internet streaming services and we’ll continue to play with our pets. Those of us who write sports for a living are combing through the files of past accomplishments. In Southeast Missouri, we don’t have to look too far. Cape Girardeau Central boys basketball has enjoyed a remarkable run in head coach Drew Church’s 14-year tenure. The Tigers last had a losing season in 2008-09, when the orange, black and white went 10-17. Since that sub-.500 season, Central has gone 21983 (.725) in the last 11 campaigns. The last four years (89-25, .781) have been even better from a pure wins-and-losses perspective. A constant through this period (2016-2020) has been Church’s 5-foot-9 senior guard Tyrus Reddin. Church believes Reddin may well be the hoopster with the most wins as a player in Central history. Reddin’s stat line in his final year was his best: 14.2/4.7/3.7 in points, assists and steals per game. “Ty started off-and-on his freshman year,” said Church, 40. “But he’s been our on-the-court general his whole career here.”

Church says Reddin, 18, also an accomplished running back on Kent Gibbs’ Central football team, has a promising future if he takes basketball to the next level. “Some (college) will get a steal,” said Church. “(Ty’s) a winner. “It’s not just (Reddin’s) scoring but the little things he does: he’s quick to the ball, accelerates well, distributes (the ball) unselfishly and as his stats indicate, can steal,” he added. Church nearly runs out of adjectives to describe speedy No. 5. “(Reddin) is athletic enough to rebound,” said Church, “and he’s very strong. Ty won’t be overpowered.” Central’s athletic director, Tyson Moyers, added his two cents in a similar vein. “(Ty) is one of the toughest kids I have ever been around,” said Moyers, a Chaffee grad in his first year as Tigers A.D. “(Reddin) is very quiet and unassuming,” Moyers added. “He leads by example.” During Reddin’s last three years, Central made it to the final of Class 4, District 1, winning once in 2019 when Church’s crew finished 26-4. Central lost in 2018 to that year’s district champ Sikeston. Two-and-a-half weeks ago, the Tigers fell in an epic district final to Paul Unterreiner’s Notre Dame Bulldogs. The Dawg Pound was

rocking March 7 as Notre Dame pulled off a thrilling 38-37 double-overtime win over Central. “I haven’t watched ﬁlm of the game yet,” admitted Church. “Some games stay with you and this one has.” We may look back on this period as a true golden era in Central’s Jungle. Since 2011, Church’s teams have exceeded 20 wins seven times. What’s still missing on the University of Evansville product’s resume is a state championship. Central last won the biggest of all prep high school games in 1980, when Dan Milligan’s Tigers won the Class 4A crown. Central also won it in 1954 under the legendary Lou Muegge. Church juggles his responsibilities as boys basketball coach and Central High assistant principal with being the married father of two: Kate, 10 and Ryland, 5. He will lose seven seniors from this year’s 22-6 team. In addition to Reddin, Church will bid goodbye to two big men, Doreante’ Tucker and Dorian Triplett, both 6-foot-3, plus T’Angelo Thornton, Zachary Moore, Quintaven Barber and Dalton Upchurch. If Church is concerned about the immediate future of the program, he doesn’t show it. “I’ll miss (the seniors) terribly, but I’m not worried,” said Church. “Lots of hungry young men (are) waiting for their turn,” he added.

year senior. “He was part of one of the greatest runs in Southern Illinois history,” Weber said. Korn eventually spent 13 years in Carbondale as both a player and coach, and he “surprised” Weber by expressing an interest in coaching after graduating with a degree in marketing. But as a coach, Korn demonstrated the same diligence it took to succeed as a player. “To me, he is going to be successful (at Southeast Missouri State) because of his pathway of where he is now,” Weber said. “He’s stayed in coaching and done the journey. I think that journey, his work ethic, his loyalty, his dedication, his intelligence, and

just a love of the game… he’s done it the right way. “Because of that, I really believe he is going to be successful.” Korn not only made an impression on Weber, but he did so with Weber’s boss, as well. “It seemed like every time he did a scout on a team,” Kansas State athletic director Gene Taylor said, “the outcome was very positive. Brad is really good with the kids.” But not too good, according to Taylor. “He’s intense,” Taylor said, “but he’s going to have fun and he’s going to coach them up. “I think this will be a great opportunity for (Southeast).”

Farmer From Page 1B years. Additionally, he also played for Farmer, from 2003 to 2007, where he helped lead the Bluejays to four-straight Show-Me Showdown appearances. He won one state championship (2007), two second-place finishes (2005, 2006), and a third-place finish (2004). “I was kind of surprised,” Williams said of Farmer’s decision. “This was a conversation that we had many times before. But, it was the “when” of when he was going to retire. It was never solidified. He would say things like ‘When you take over,’ or ‘Do this and

do that,’ and it was stuff like that. “He would also say that you would still have this kid or that kid whenever it’s time for you to take over. That gives me a four-year window of when he’s going to retire, but it was never solidified. So, I knew the time was approaching.” Williams told the Standard-DemocratMonday he aspires to be the next Charleston coach. He believes he would run the program — Charleston would be his first head coaching opportunity — in a similar fashion as Farmer and will treat everyone like family as well. “Seeing him treat players the way that he did and giving them what they need,” said Williams, “he was a father figure. He treated each player as a guardian. This is high school basket-

ball, everyone wants to win, but these relationships; if I treat these as four-year relationships, then to me, that doesn’t hold much value.” Coaching was more than just wins and losses to Farmer, according to Williams. Building long-lasting bonds and creating trust between everyone was one way Williams described Farmer’s methods. “He’s deﬁnitely someone that cares deeply about the well-being of all of his players,” Williams said. “He’s very competitive, and he wants to win, but ironically, with him having over 1,000 career wins and more than 750 being with the boys, winning was not a priority in the grand scheme of things. “He was all about hard work, on and off the court, and he never turns his back

been the consistency but I can speak of are the reasons why we can (succeed). When I looked at this job, I know some people thought ‘Aw man, look at the record.’ I see that as great room for opportunity and great room for growth and a great way to put your ﬁngerprints on

on anyone, including the players that are more difficult to coach. “As far as I’ve been with him, for seven years, he has never kicked any of the players off the team. Regardless of how much these kids miss practice, try to get out of work; they may not play or get minutes, but he would never turn his back on any of his players.” Being under his wing for nearly a decade, Williams talked about some of the memories during his time with Farmer. “The speeches he would give in practice or pre-game speeches; they were funny,” Williams said. “He would say things, and he would get everyone’s attention, and then he would say something that would have the entire locker room laughing. As long as I’ve known him, he’s been that way.”

something.” Korn will have nice facilities in both the Show Me Center, as well as the Holcomb Success Center to market. “There are obviously hurdles and obstacles with every job,” Korn said. “No situation is perfect. I just think that there are a lot of things in place here, starting with Brady, (university president Dr. Carlos Vargas), the administration is in place, and I think that there is a desire here to have success.”

Area basketball official finds himself on the run often BY JEFF LONG

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN Good Sports is a column appearing weekly in the Southeast Missourian and Semoball.com. The purpose is to get to know the people who impact the sporting life of our region in a more complete way. Responses have been edited for clarity and brevity. Today: Joe Windeknecht, 52, longtime Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA) basketball referee and Boston Marathoner. His day job since 2017 is account executive with Drury Southwest Signs (DSW). He previously served as director of operations for the Chick-Fil-A in Cape for four years. The first question is a simple one. Why have you been a basketball ref for 17 consecutive seasons? In this time of increasing disrespect for authority figures, being an official would seem to be a terrible job. It was tough my first season and the idea of quitting went through my mind. But I enjoy watching basketball and found that I love being around it. I’ll go to games even if I’m not officiating. The camaraderie is great. Refereeing is a stress reliever. Ninety-five percent of the time I feel really good, but I’ll admit, I’m drained when I get home from a game. Describe the commitment of a referee. In my sport, and I’m basketball-only, it’s about six months. In-season, it’s four or five nights a week. Girls

play Mondays and Thursdays. Boys are Tuesdays and Fridays. Until everything got shut down by the virus, that is. Tough on the home life spending so many nights away? My wife, Rhonda, is a saint. We’ve been married 30 years and she never comes to games. She hates sports. All sports. But she loves me, so it works. I’m lucky and I know it. Were you in competitive sports? Yes, I ran track and cross country at Cape Central. Running has always been part of my life, and of course, when you ref basketball, you run up and down the court a lot. I’m guessing you don’t get assigned to a lot of Central games. Not saying it never happens but MSHSAA is leery of giving me any big games involving my alma mater. Potential conflict of interest. You said your first season as a ref was tough. Mainly the coaches made it difficult. When they know you’re new, they figure you don’t have the judgment of a seasoned ref. I’ll admit to a lack of confidence at the beginning and some coaches sensed that. Now, with all these years under my belt, I can say in a sideline conversation, “Hey, that’s the way I saw it.” Refs are subjected to a fair amount of abuse, yes? We make 10-12 calls a game that are 50-50, could go either

way. It’s really s o m e thing the ﬁrst time you hear a cascade of boos from the Windeknecht stands. Y o u must let it roll off your back. Fans are passionate but they can get vocal. Oh, my yes. MSHSAA does not want refs to confront unruly fans. If it gets bad, we are to tell a school administrator to handle it. I was at a game at Notre Dame this spring when it appeared some visiting fans might be ejected. Wasn’t a game I called but how it works is if some fans, in our opinion, get out of hand with their behavior we convey a warning through the school administrator. If it keeps happening after the warning, we ask the administrator to escort those folks out of the gym. Very rare, though. How about when players or coaches back-talk you after a call? We have a very short fuse with players. We don’t let a player get in our faces. Coaches? Different story. We treat them with more discretion. For the most part, players are pretty good, well behaved. Coaches, too. The environment is better than it used to be, in my opinion. Do you ever a change a foul call? If I see something and am

not sure, I’ll consult with my officiating team. In junior high, it’s a two-ref game. In high school, MSHSAA has three of us there. Once you go to the scorer’s table and report a foul, it’s done. No change is ever made once you report it. You declare to the table the foul and demonstrate it with a hand signal, let’s say it’s charging; then, you indicate the color of the uniform to distinguish the team, you give the number of offending player, and how many shots are to be attempted at the foul line by the opponent. Once in a blue moon, you might say to a coach later, “I may have missed it.” What about technical fouls? Before we get to a technical, the protocol is, we give a warning, which is typically not logged. But the offending player or coach, whomever it is, is on thin ice from that moment. After a warning, if the talk doesn’t stop immediately, we can move to a “T.” So, “T’s” are mostly for behavior? Nearly always. When we call a technical on a team, the opponent gets two shots with the player alone at the charity stripe. Once the shots have been taken, the opponent gets to in-bound the ball to resume play. Oh, and if we call a technical on a coach, he/she must remain seated for the remainder of the game. This happens 3-5 times a season, which is to say, rarely. If there is a second technical called on the same player or coach, that individual must leave the gym.

You have a lot of authority during a game. But everybody should be held accountable. How are refs held accountable? MSHSAA does it and coaches rate us. A coach will evaluate every game ref within 24 hours of the contest on a sliding scale with “1” being best and “5” being worst. We see our ratings at the end of the season but are not told how individual coaches ranked us. What’s your rating? My last one was 2.1. Coaches rate us for professionalism, hustle and dealing with adversity. The ratings matter because, among other things, they ﬁgure into who gets invited to officiate the state tournament. This hasn’t happened for me yet. My impression is a referee’s pay is modest. A matter of opinion but I’ll tell you the scale. Its $7585 for working a junior high game and $100-$120 for high school. The school pays referees directly. There are two people who schedule 120 refs and keep us in a 5060 mile radius for the most part. MSHSAA is not excited about us working more than three or four games at a particular school. We are moved around. MSHSAA doesn’t pay mileage for regular season games or any games until after the district tournament. You also run the Boston Marathon, which is usually in April but has been moved by the coronavirus this year to September. I started running the race

in 2013, which was the year of the bombing. Were you nearby? I was two blocks from the first bomb. I’d been finished for about an hour when the explosive went off. I was waiting for my friends to get done. I did see smoke from the second bomb. You said you are probably done going to Boston. Well, I’d set a goal for myself to go ten years straight. I’d made it to seven in a row (2013-2019) but didn’t qualify in 2020. I got a letter. They have to limit participation to 30,000 runners. My streak is snapped, and I don’t know if I’ll try again, but I think I’m done. My plan is to go and watch this year. Less than one percent of runners get to run this race so it’s prestigious. You like marathoning, clearly. I’ve run 31 of them in nine years. I enjoy them and the socialization those races provide but I’m 52 and started late. I’m not running quite as much – 2-3 days a week rather than five. What have you learned about human nature through your continued involvement with sports? Everybody has a job to do and we all do our best. I pour my heart into whatever I’m doing, and others are the same. Sports has helped me see the passion in other people.

Originally appeared on the front page of the Southeast Missourian March 23, 2020

Southeast Missourian to change print frequency temporarily Due to the economic impact of the coronavirus, the Southeast Missourian will be temporarily suspending three print days while continuing to bulk up online content as a seven-day digital product. “We will actually be producing an e-edition of the newspaper each day. That's the layout of the newspaper print readers are accustomed to. But we will only print and deliver it three days a week, on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday,” said Jon K. Rust, publisher of the Southeast Missourian. “Readers who still want to see it in traditional format with comics, Dear Abby, crossword puzzles and all the other stuff they love can still do so on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, but they will have to do it online. ”Anyone who reads the newspaper only in print won't miss any local stories, though," Rust added. "Local stories will also be in print the next day. That includes obituaries, police reports, sports, the business page, and almost everything else local.” The move is necessitated by the steep drop-off in newspaper pre-prints and advertising, caused by store closures due to the coronavirus pandemic. “As readers know, you can usually find a lot of inserts in the newspaper: from Macy's, JCPenney, Kohl's, you name it,” Rust said. ”But with them closing temporarily, along with other local businesses, we basically lose money every time we print. That's why we so appreciate and thank our loyal readers for staying with us. The only way we can continue as a business – keeping our reporters providing this valuable content – is if people maintain their subscriptions and new readers sign up.” Rust said subscription rates will not change. Counterintuitively, Rust said, while needing subscribers, the Southeast Missourian is currently making an important portion of its content free online. “In partnership with SoutheastHEALTH and Saint Francis Healthcare, we are providing health news to the community online, whether someone is a subscriber or not,” Rust said. “We believe it’s vital that everyone has the latest information about how to battle COVID-19 and what to do to be safe, not just for themselves, but for their family, friends and neighbors. The newspaper is also providing free support to local businesses and their customers by producing a directory each day in print and online that updates store hours, store closures, event cancellations and other business news. One advantage of going to three days a week in print is that the newspaper will now actually be thicker than it would otherwise, Rust said. ”I really appreciate our subscribers,” Rust added. “They understand this is an unusual, strange time with a lot of challenges. Their loyalty is what helps us serve them and the community. Without them, we couldn't continue.” Print readers who have not already registered to access the paper online or in e-reader form are encouraged to call (573) 388-3680 or visit www.semissourian.com. There is no additional charge to print subscribers for online access. Along with a growing list of newsletters (including a subscriber-exclusive obituary newsletter), the Southeast Missourian has launched a daily text alert for obituaries.

DEAR ABBY

At Fountainbleau Lodge we offer full time physical, speech, and occupational therapies as well as a full time restorative program.

Decades-old loan remains unpaid Dear Abby: I am an 83-yearold mother of four. I have been living with my second husband EANNE now for 21 years. HILLIPS Nineteen years ago, my husband loaned one of my daughters and her husband a large sum of money so they could buy a house and pay off bills and judgments. All the necessary paperwork for the loan was signed at the time of the closing with a lawyer present, and it was agreed they would pay us back a certain amount every month. After a few years of mostly regular repayments, the payments dwindled, although they continued to buy expensive electronics and other items. Several years have passed now, and a few checks and cash payments have arrived, but only after much begging. Our lawyer sent them a letter a few years ago telling them to pay up or we would sue them. It resulted in their not seeing or talking to us for a couple of years. We REALLY need the money now. Maybe she’s hoping we will die. What do you suggest we do at this point? Her brother and sisters don’t want to get involved.

J P

Loving, Giving Mom Dear Mom: I am truly sorry. But because your other children refuse to become involved in convincing your deadbeat daughter and her husband to pay what they owe you, you have no other choice but to contact the lawyer who drafted the loan agreement and instruct him to follow through. Dear Abby: My husband retired four years ago. At ﬁrst he seemed to enjoy not having to go to work. Then he got bored and needed something to do. For some reason, he bought an old Corvette to restore. I was supportive, until I found out it’s an expensive hobby. Finding and buying all the replacement parts costs money. He has been working on that car for 3 1/2 years now. As soon as he gets it ready to drive, something else breaks. Meanwhile, he has bought four more old Corvettes “to work on.” Our backyard looks like a junkyard. We haven’t had a vacation trip since he retired, not even a weekend to the mountains. He argues that we can’t afford it, but he spends thousands on those old cars. It has become an obsession for him, and it’s “driving” ME crazy. Any suggestions? Corvette Widow in the South

Dear Widow: Healthy couples discuss large purchases before making them. What your husband is doing is destructive to your relationship. It almost seems as though he is using his hobby as a way of avoiding spending time with you. My suggestion is that you and your husband ﬁnd the money to consult a marriage counselor because what’s going on is unfair to you. And if you need a vacation, consider taking one by yourself or with a friend. Dear Abby: I will be turning 50 soon. How do I explain to my husband and parents that I just want to spend it alone? Is there something wrong with me for feeling this way? Birthday Wish in Iowa Dear Birthday Wish: People react to their birthdays, especially milestone birthdays, differently. Some are elated, while others feel depressed. Not everyone wants a lot of “hoopla.” If you prefer spending your 50th birthday quietly, your wish should be respected, and you should not have to go into a long explanation about why.

Our gym encompasses the following equipment: • Bicycle • Nu-Step • Parallel Bars

There’s a difference you can feel.

gertips, known as clubbing. It’s important to note that each of these, including cough, can be caused by other conditions. For adults who are at a higher risk of developing lung cancer, the recent development of an early stage screening test has been an important advance. Known as low-dose computed tomography, or a low-dose CT scan, it’s recommended for adults between the ages of 55 and 80 who are heavy smokers, or who were heavy smokers and quit less than 15 years ago. The scan, which uses a small amount of radiation, makes a detailed image of the lungs. Risks of the test include false positives, which can lead to unnecessary surgical procedures, and exposure to radiation, which itself can cause cancer. Anyone interested in the test should check with their doctor to see if they meet the screening criteria.

Trump hospitalized: ‘Abundance of caution’

President to spend ‘a few days’ at Walter Reed Military Medical Facility after announcement he and first lady tested positive for COVID-19

ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Stricken by COVID-19, a feverish and “fatigued” President Donald Trump was taken to a military hospital Friday after being injected with an experimental antibody cocktail at the White House. The White House said Trump’s expected stay of “a few days” at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center was precautionary and that he would continue to work from the hospital’s presidential suite, which is equipped to allow him to keep up his official duties. Trump walked out of the White House Friday evening wearing a mask and gave a thumbs-up to reporters but did not speak before boarding Marine One. Members of the aircrew, Secret Service agents and White House staff wore face coverings to protect themselves from the president onboard the helicopter. In a video taped before leaving for Walter Reed, Trump said, “I think I’m doing very well, but we’re going to make sure that things work out.” Just a month before the presidential election, Trump’s revelation that he was positive for the virus came by tweet about midnight after he had returned

Pausing a recent trend, no new COVID-19 deaths were reported in the region Friday, though four Cape Girardeau County deaths were blamed on the virus Thursday. New cases of the disease associated with coronavirus, though, continued their upward climb. Officials with Cape Girardeau County Public Health Center reported 42 new cases — 27 in Cape Girardeau, 11 in Jackson, and four elsewhere in the county. The new cases pushed the county’s total to 2,094, while 1,528 county residents have recovered from the virus and 32 deaths have been attributed to it.

FROM PAGE ONE

Trump From Page 1A questions about how far the virus has spread through the upper levels of government. His immediate campaign events were all canceled, and his next debate with Democrat Joe Biden, scheduled for Oct. 15, is now in question. Trump has been trying all year to convince the American public that the worst of the pandemic is behind, and he has consistently played down concerns about being personally vulnerable. He has mostly refused to abide by basic public health guidelines, including those issued by his own administration, such as wearing face coverings in public and practicing social distancing. Instead, he has continued to hold campaign rallies that draw thousands of often maskless supporters. “I felt no vulnerability whatsoever,” he told reporters back in May. With the election coming up in about a month, he is urging states and cities to “reopen” and reduce or eliminate shutdown rules despite continuing virus outbreaks. The White House tried to maintain an atmosphere of business-as-usual on Friday. “President Trump remains in good spirits, has mild symptoms and has been working throughout the day,” said press secretary Kayleigh McEnany. “Out of an abundance of caution, and at the recommendation of his physician and medical experts, the president will be working from the presidential offices at Walter Reed for the next few days.” The president’s physician said in a memo that Trump received a dose of an experimental antibody cocktail by Regeneron that is in clinical trials. Navy Commander Dr. Sean Conley said Trump “remains fatigued but in good spirits” and that a team of experts was evaluating both the president and first lady in regard to next steps. The first lady, who is 50, has a “mild cough and headache,” Conley reported, and the remainder of the first family, including the Trumps’ son Barron, who lives at the White House, tested negative. Both Democratic presidential nominee Biden and his

Counselor to the President Hope Hicks, left, with White House senior adviser Jared Kushner, walk from Marine One to accompany President Donald Trump aboard Air Force One as he departs Wednesday at Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland. Hicks has tested positive for COVID-19 and was reportedly exhibiting symptoms Wednesday. running mate Kamala Harris have tested negative, their campaign said. Vice President Mike Pence tested negative for the virus Friday morning and “remains in good health,” his spokesman said. Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Judge Amy Coney Barrett, who was with him and many others Saturday and has been on Capitol Hill meeting with lawmakers, also tested negative, the White House said. It was conﬁrmed that she had a mild case of COVID earlier this year and has now recovered. Very early Friday, after returning from the Thursday afternoon New Jersey fundraiser, Trump stunningly tweeted, “Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!” Hours earlier, the White House said a top aide who had traveled with him during the week had tested positive. White House chief of staff Mark Meadows on Friday tried to assure the public that Trump was conducting business as usual, even as he conﬁrmed that the White House knew Hope Hicks, the aide, had tested positive before Trump attended the fundraiser.

“I can tell you in terms of Hope Hicks, we discovered that right as Marine One was taking off yesterday,” said Meadows. Several staffers were pulled from the trip, but Trump did not cancel, and there was no direct evidence that her illness was connected to his. Many White House and senior administration officials were undergoing tests Friday, but the full scale of the outbreak around the president may not be known for some time as it can take days for an infection to be detectable by a test. Officials with the White House Medical Unit were tracing the president’s contacts. Before Friday evening, Trump had last been seen by reporters returning to the White House on Thursday evening and did not appear ill. He is 74 years old and clinically obese, putting him at higher risk of serious complications from a virus that has infected more than 7 million people nationwide. Trump’s handling of the pandemic has already been a major ﬂashpoint in his race against Biden, who spent much of the summer off the campaign trail and at his home in Delaware citing concern about the virus. Biden has since resumed a more active campaign schedule, but with small, so-

cially distanced crowds. He also regularly wears a mask in public, something Trump mocked him for at Tuesday night’s debate. “I don’t wear masks like him,” Trump said of Biden. “Every time you see him, he’s got a mask. He could be speaking 200 feet away from me, and he shows up with the biggest mask I’ve ever seen.” In a tweet Friday morning, Biden said he and his wife “send our thoughts to President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump for a swift recovery. We will continue to pray for the health and safety of the president and his family.” World leaders offered the president and ﬁrst family their best wishes after their diagnosis, as governments used their case as a reminder for their citizens to wear masks and practice social distancing measures. Hicks began feeling mild symptoms during the plane ride home from a rally in Minnesota on Wednesday evening, according to an administration official who spoke on condition of anonymity to disclose private information. She was isolated from other passengers aboard the plane, the person said. Hicks had been with Trump and other senior staff aboard Marine One and Air Force One en route to that rally and had accompanied the president to Tuesday’s presidential debate in Cleveland, along with members of the Trump family. The Trump contingent removed their masks during the debate, in violation of the venue rules. Multiple White House staffers have previously tested positive for the virus, including Pence’s press secretary, Katie Miller, national security adviser Robert O’Brien and one of the president’s personal valets. An RNC official conﬁrmed Friday that Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel learned she had tested positive Wednesday afternoon. She has been at her home in Michigan since last Saturday and did not attend the debate. It is unclear where the Trumps or Hicks may have caught the virus, but in a Fox interview, Trump seemed to suggest it may have been spread by someone in the military or law enforcement in greetings.

Deaths From Page 1A 284 (263 students and 21 employees). Of the total, 151 cases (141 students and 10 employees) were active Thursday. Those in quarantine/ isolation on campus rose by six to 53. Elsewhere in Missouri, Stoddard County reported 17 new cases (638 total cases, 496 recoveries, 18 deaths). Active cases within the county’s incorporated areas as of Friday were: Advance, eight; Bell City, one; Bernie, 13; Bloomfield, 10; Dexter, 44; Dudley, two; Esses, two; and Puxico, 15. Perry County reported 15 new cases from its last report (740 total cses, 698 recoveries, seven deaths) Scott County reported five new cases (983 total cases, 826 recoveries, 17 deaths), and Bollinger County reported four new cases (469 active cases, 379 recoveries, one death) Southern Seven Health Department in Illinois reported three new cases in Union County (516 total cases, 401 recoveries, 20 deaths) but no new cases in Alexander County (85 total cases, 54 recoveries, one death).

Chief From Page 1A Hollis became CGFD chief August 19, after 24 years of firefighting and emergency services experience. Immediately prior to becoming Cape’s chief, Hollis had been deputy chief of the Rogers, Arkansas, fire department. Rogers, in the northwest corner of Arkansas, boasts an estimated population of 68,000, notably larger than Cape’s 2019 Census Bureau estimate of over 40,000. Travis Hollis Hollis had been one of four finalists interviewed after a 10-month search to succeed interim CGFD chief Mark Hasheider, who himself got the job after the city fired Rick Ennis. Ennis, who had been Cape’s fire chief 14 years, was terminated December 28, 2018, days before his scheduled retirement, for violation of an undisclosed city policy. At the time of his hiring, Hollis said the following about Cape Girardeau in a news release: “It was love at first sight with Cape,” said Hollis. “A combination of the genuine hospitality of the residents, the charm of downtown and the city’s trail system at Cape Woods [Conservation] Area won me over,” he added. The current CGFD deputy fire chief is Randy Morris, Jr.

County on track Cape School District works to keep non-wired students connected to allocate all CARES Act appropriation BY JEFF LONG

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN

BY JAY WOLZ

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN With three months left in the funding cycle, Cape Girardeau County appears to be on track to allocate most or all of its coronavirus relief fund by the end of the year. The County Commission on Thursday approved another $137,425 in reimbursements for expenses incurred by several businesses in the county related to COVID-19 pandemic. Commissioners also extended the deadline for businesses in the county to submit invoices for coronavirus-related expenses. The deadline, which was Thursday, has now been pushed back to Oct. 16. Qualiﬁed expenses include the cost of masks, gloves and other personal protective equipment, as well as cleaning supplies and other items directly related to the pandemic. Businesses interested in applying for coronavirus-related expense reimbursements must provide receipts or invoices to Cape Girardeau Area Magnet, which will, in turn, submit reimbursement applications to the County Commission. The reimbursements, as well as other expenses related to COVID-19, are being paid through Cape County’s $9.2 Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act fund, approved by Congress and allocated to the county by the State of Missouri. Including the reimbursements approved Thursday, the commission has OK’d approximately $4.8 million in payments to businesses and other organizations

to help them pay for their coronavirus expenses. As of Thursday, nearly $1.8 million had been paid with the remaining $3 million in various stages of processing. “It may not sound right that we’ve only written that many checks, but we’re still waiting on receipts to be approved,” said First District Commissioner Paul Koeper, who has been tracking CARES Act allocations. Koeper said he expects reimbursement requests to pick up between now and the end of the year. “If you look at what we’ve approved and what’s coming up, we’re approaching that $9 million that was granted to us,” he said. “It’s all going to come around pretty quickly in the months of November and December.” Reimbursements approved by the commissioners Thursday, which will be paid through Cape Girardeau Area Magnet, included payments to the following businesses: Leet Eye Care — $8,858.22 Century Casino Cape Girardeau — $90,092.90. The Villas of Jackson — $4,548.75. Brent Wills Insurance — $1,714.43. Bug Zero — $643.00. Jackson Medical-Dr. Charles Pewitt — $23,816.64. Broussard’s Cajun Cuisine — $1,472.50. Thomas L. Meyer Realty Co. — $279.41. Do you crave business news? Check out B Magazine, and the B Magazine email newsletter. Check it out at semissourian.com/newsletters to ﬁnd out more.

In a wired world, with widespread access to cyberspace often taken for granted, it may be a bit of a shock to realize not everybody can get to the internet. In the Cape Girardeau School District, school administrators estimate as many as 180 of its students can’t get online at home. Since the shift to remote learning in March, school districts across America have scrambled to provide laptops and tablets to students. The Cape Girardeau district provides its student body, numbering nearly 4,100 pupils, with a Chromebook to homework and access the internet. So long as a student has Wi-Fi at home, such a device is adequate to handle keeping a student connected to homework. At Monday’s school board meeting, Jamie Russell, a district tech instructional specialist, told superintendent Neil Glass and the seven board members how students who can’t get to the internet at home are being kept connected. “This is the most challeng-

At the moment, in-person learning is still the norm

with the Cape Girardeau schools reporting 30% participation in their Tigers@ Home remote learning program. A Tigers@Home student must have Wi-Fi access to be in the program. The gap for the district are those students who show up for classroom instruction but can’t get to the internet at the family residence. “One of the things we’re doing for them is record their teachers in the classroom, download the ses-

sions to a USB drive and send all of it home with the student who can then access the teaching offline,” Russell said. Russell said the district is prepared to go old school, too. “If we have to, we’ll send home teaching assignments on paper, plus teachers and teacher’s aides will be available to call a student to help with assignments,” he said. Cape Girardeau schools are gearing up for a worst case coronavirus scenario. “If we ever have to go 100% virtual learning, we may need to create hotspots for students to get Wi-Fi,” Russell said, with the district actively looking at grants and the ﬁnancial help of community organizations for any needed funding. Russell, a New Madrid County Central graduate, taught in the Kennett and Nell Holcomb school district before coming to the Cape Girardeau School District eight years ago. “In this (educational) climate, we have to keep thinking outside the box to optimize student learning,” he said.

Courthouse revises COVID-19 restrictions SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN Activities at the Cape Girardeau County Courthouse in Jackson will operate under “Phase One operational directives” beginning Monday morning, according to an administrative order issued Friday by 32nd Judicial Circuit Court Presiding Judge Benjamin F.

among courthouse personnel. The new order is in accordance with operational directives issued in July by the Missouri Supreme Court and states that “conditions are appropriate” to allow limited activities within the courthouse. Among provisions of the “Phase One” directive are that: No person exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms or who has been exposed to a person exhibiting those symp-

Judge: Census violated order; demands mass text to workers

National Guard taps units for rapid response to civil unrest

BY MIKE SCHNEIDER

BY LOLITA C. BALDOR

ASSOCIATED PRESS

ORLANDO, Fla. — A federal judge is ordering the Census Bureau to text every 2020 census worker by Friday, letting them know the head count of every U.S. resident is continuing through the end of the month and not ending next week, as the agency previously had announced in violation of her court order. The new order issued late Thursday by U.S. District Lucy Koh in San Jose, California, instructs the Census Bureau to send out a mass text saying an Oct. 5 target data for finishing the nation’s head count is not in effect and that people can still answer the questionnaire and census takers can still knock on doors through Oct. 31. The judge also ordered Census Bureau director Steven Dillingham to file with the court a declaration by the start of next week confirming his agency was following a preliminary injunction she had issued last week. Besides deciding how many congressional seats

and Electoral College votes each state gets, the census also determines how $1.5 trillion in federal spending is distributed annually. Among other things, that spending includes highway funding and money for health care and education. Judge Koh wrote in Thursday’s decision that the Census Bureau and Commerce Department, which oversees the agency, had violated her injunction “in several ways.” She threatened them with sanctions or contempt proceedings if they violated the injunction again. “Defendants’ dissemination of erroneous information; lurching from one hasty, unexplained plan to the next; and unlawful sacriﬁces of completeness and accuracy of the 2020 Census are upending the status quo, violating the Injunction Order, and undermining the credibility of the Census Bureau and the 2020 Census,” the judge wrote. “This must stop.” Koh’s injunction last week suspended a Sept. 30 deadline for ending the head count and also a Dec. 31 deadline for turn-

ing in numbers used to determine how many congressional seats each state gets in a process known as apportionment. By doing this, the deadlines reverted back to a previous Census Bureau plan that had ﬁeld operations ending Oct. 31 and the reporting of apportionment ﬁgures at the end of April. By issuing the injunction, the judge sided with civil rights groups and local governments that had sued the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Commerce, arguing that minorities and others in hard-tocount communities would be missed if the counting ended in September. Koh referred to a tweet by the Commerce Department and Census Bureau last Monday that they now were targeting Oct. 5 as the date to end the census as “a hasty and unexplained change to the Bureau’s operations that was created in 4 days.” “The decision also risks further undermining trust in the Bureau and its partners, sowing more confusion, and depressing Census participation,” Koh wrote.

Grand jury audio details moments before Breonna Taylor’s death ASSOCIATED PRESS LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Police who shot Breonna Taylor announced themselves as law enforcement before entering her apartment, according to grand jury testimony that was among hours of audio recordings released Friday. “We knocked on the door, said police, waited I don’t know 10 or 15 seconds. Knocked again, said police, waited even longer,” Louisville, Kentucky, police Lt. Shawn Hoover said in an interview recorded March 13, the same date Taylor was shot, and later played for the grand jury. “So it was the third time that we were approaching, it had been like 45 seconds if not a minute,” Hoover said. “And then I said, ‘Let’s go, let’s breach it.”’ Grand juries typically meet in secret, and releasing testimony and other evidence from their proceedings is rare. But a court ruled that the content of the proceedings should be made public. However, juror deliberations and prosecu-

tor recommendations and statements were not recorded, according to the state attorney general’s office, and so were not part of the hours of material released Friday. The grand jury in Taylor’s case brought no criminal charges against the officers for her killing, angering many in Louisville and around the country and setting off renewed protests. Officers had a “no-knock” warrant to search Taylor’s apartment for drugs. But Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron later said officers announced themselves. It’s a key issue because the officers said they opened fire after Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, fired a gunshot at them. Walker said he didn’t know the men who burst into the home were police. One law enforcement officer testified that police ultimately never executed the warrant to search Taylor’s apartment. “Were drugs money or paraphernalia recovered from apartment 4? ... The answer to that is no,” the

officer said on the recording. “They didn’t go forward with executing the initial search warrant that they had for Breonna Taylor’s apartment.” Cameron, whose office led the investigation into police actions in the Taylor shooting, did not object to the file’s release. But on Wednesday, his office asked for a week’s extension to edit out personal information from the material. The judge gave him two days. Cameron, a Republican and the state’s first African American attorney general, has acknowledged that he did not recommend homicide charges for the officers involved. Police used a narcotics warrant to enter Taylor’s Louisville apartment on March 13. The 26-year-old emergency medical worker, was shot five times. Cameron said two officers who fired their guns, hitting Taylor, were justified because Taylor’s boyfriend had shot at them first. The boyfriend has said he thought someone was breaking in.

WASHINGTON — The National Guard has designated military police units in two states to serve as rapid reaction forces so they can respond quickly to any potential civil unrest around the country, following violent protests that rocked the nation’s capital and several states this summer. Military leaders don’t explicitly tie the changes to concerns about possible election-related violence, but the nation is bracing for unrest surrounding the tumultuous presidential campaign, particularly if voting results are not known for days or weeks because of the increase in mail-in ballots. According to the Guard, about 600 troops – 300 in both Alabama and Arizona – will be ready to deploy within 24 hours if requested by a governor in another state. And Guard leaders have also bought more than $200,000 in new protective equipment, and have increased troop training on proper procedures in dealing with protests. The moves come as Defense Department and National Guard leaders work to address shortfalls that were identiﬁed in the military response to the June protests triggered by the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Military reviews of the response to the protests found problems with coordination between various state and federal government and law enforcement agencies – which at times slowed down troop movements. “Coordination and communication were the probably the things that we’ll look back on and see very challenging,” Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy said in an interview with The Associated Press. He said that as the protests esca-

It could turn violent. It was an incredibly challenging thing.” Governors can use National Guard troops for a variety of things, ranging from natural disasters such as hurricanes and wildﬁres, to assisting with border security and civil unrest. If a governor needs additional help, they can request troops from other state governors through a compact agreement system that details how the forces will be used and what they can and cannot do. Lt. Gen. Mark Sasseville, vice chief of the National Guard Bureau, said the Guard employs a graduated approach, with states using their own troops ﬁrst, and then, if more help is needed, they request forces from other states within their region.

If more support is needed, then governors reach out to states further away. “That makes sense because typically the states have good relations with the neighboring states,” said Sasseville in an interview with The Associated Press. “Speed becomes an element of this discussion.” The problem, however, is that some states couldn’t free up troops to send to others because they also were dealing with protests or other emergencies. The Guard’s decision to formally designate troops in Alabama and Arizona as quick reaction forces will help because those units have aircraft that will allow them to rapidly deploy to another state within 24 hours of a governor’s request. Guard officials said the forces in Alabama would respond in the eastern half of the country, and those in Arizona would respond in the west, and their deployment window at this point extends through the end of this year. “A big thing that we’ve done differently is being able to move faster,” said Sasseville, adding that the Guard also had to buy equipment to replace protective gear for some units.

Scott County seeks family histories for upcoming book BY MARYBETH NIEDERKORN

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN

The Scott County Bicentennial Committee is actively seeking family histories to include in an upcoming family history book to celebrate the county’s 200th anniversary. Committee chair Gail Crader said in a news release that publisher Acclaim Press of Sikeston, Missouri, is allowing the committee to continue receiving submissions until Nov. 20. The commemorative book is scheduled for release in 2021, and will contain hundreds of family histories from all over Scott County, in addition to histories of communities, businesses, churches and organizations. “It’s important that every family that is eligible be included in this book,” Crader said in the release, “because this book will

be the historical record of Scott County’s ﬁrst 200 years. We hope these extra weeks will allow those who are just now hearing about the project to be able to not be left out.” An informational brochure will be mailed to county homes soon, the release stated, and the brochure will be included in the weekend edition of the Southeast Missourian for Scott County paid subscribers. Anyone who lives or has lived in Scott County is eligible to have their family’s history and one photo included in the book at no charge. Submission guidelines and information on reserving a copy are included in the brochure. Purchase of a book is not required for publishing a family’s history, but advance orders do provide funding for the hard-bound book. For more information, call (573) 513-3402.

TODAY’S PRAYER

Lord God, may we not let wisdom and understanding out of our sight. Amen.

OUR OPINION

What you need to know about voting in the upcoming election There’s been plenty of discussion — and debate — over absentee and mail-in ballots during this unusual election year. Southeast Missourian reporter Jeff Long provided a ﬁrst-person account of how he navigated the absentee maze. And we’ve previously highlighted the options in this space, noting the difference between absentee and mail-in ballots. Missouri appears to be taking a better path as apposed to some states that are sending unsolicited ballots to all registered voters — something we believe is ripe for problems. Locally, Cape Girardeau County Clerk Kara Clark Summers and her staff are handling the election process professionally and with comprehensive forethought, while maintaining a customer service attitude to accommodate voting. We only wish election authorities elsewhere in the country were doing as good a job as Summers and her staff. One option that hasn’t received much attention so far is early voting, which is now open in Missouri. In Cape Girardeau County two polling locations are set up for early voting: The Osage Centre in Cape Girardeau and the county government Administrative Building in Jackson. Both locations will remain open before Election Day for voters who want to cast their ballots early. For those concerned about long lines and possible exposure to COVID-19 on Election Day, this is a good alternative. Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft was in the area recently touting in-person voting. “We want people to vote in-person because that’s the best way for us to know that it will not only be easy and safe for you to vote, but for your vote to count,” Ashcroft said. Not sure if you’re registered to vote? Contact your county clerk. This office can also answer your questions about absentee and mail-in ballots and what you qualify for this year. If you want to further help the electoral process, consider serving as an election judge. In Cape Girardeau County, visit capecountyelections.com, click on Election Information and select “Become an Election Judge.” You can also call (573) 243-3547. We are only a few weeks out from this important election. Make plans now for how you will cast your ballot.

TO THE EDITOR

No electoral systemic fraud Here we go again. Adrienne Ross has treatise of 9/29/20: “Mail-in ballots: Voter fraud made easy in New York”. Suddenly there are attacks on integrity of our election system after centuries of acceptance. She does mention a factual incident of her ballot from New York arriving at a former address here in Missouri after six years. Since she had not received ballots for at least three prior elections, this is obviously not a systemic problem. Could her friend return the ballot as her? Yes, the friend could risk going to jail for one vote. How often would people take this risk? Some states mail ballot to every registered voter for years. No loser in those races has complained of fraud. Ms. Ross adds the absurdity: “we know that even dead folks and Donald Duck have voted in past years.” Question: In what state(s) is Donald Duck registered to vote? Why do people say these things with no proof ? MARTIN WALSH, Glendale, Missouri

Lessons in fire safety October 4 starts National Fire Prevention Week. For the Cape Girardeau Fire Department this means a week full of fire drills, poster contests, and fire safety demonstrations. While we spotlight the great message this brings to our community, it is important that we reflect on the tragic lessons that prompted change regarding fire safety. One I am reminded of occurred in 1911. A factory called the Triangle Shirtwaist Company in lower Manhattan had a fire tear through their building that caused 146 people to lose their lives. Their building had only one fire escape which collapsed during the evacuation due to poor maintenance. The exit doors were also found to swing inward or were locked. These three violations of the fire code cost a loss of life that could have been prevented. Fortunately modern fire and building codes prohibit these violations. An often forgotten and unrecognized division of a fire department is the fire prevention bureau. In our department, we have a fire inspector who inspects buildings for fire safety violations and a fire marshal that enforces the fire and building codes. The fire marshal is also responsible for life safety plan reviews for buildings under construction to determine important things like occupancy loads and an adequate number of exits. We as a city are fortunate to have these individuals as a part of our team to keep our community safe so that another tragedy like that which occurred at the Triangle Shirtwaist Company never occurs in Cape Girardeau.

BOARD COLUMN

Stripes publisher headlines Bloomfield museum events I

t’s been a hectic few months for Max Lederer, the publisher of Stars and Stripes newspaper. In February, Secretary of Defense Mark Esper told Congress he intended to defund UCAS the independent RESSON military newspaper. About 50% of the publication’s funds come through federal subsidy, which equates to approximately $15 million a year. Wednesday, the day I spoke with Lederer for this column, was supposed to be the ﬁnal day of publication based on the original timeline. Thankfully, it wasn’t. While Democrats and Republicans don’t agree on much these days, the support for this military publication has been bipartisan from members of Congress. President Trump also weighed in with his support, saying the publication would remain funded under his watch. But until Congress appropriates funds, Stars and Stripes is operating on its reserves. The newspaper’s federal subsidy, Lederer told me, is “virtually nothing” in a $740 billion defense budget. Lederer, a former active duty Army judge advocates general officer who joined the newspaper in 1992, said that up until the end of World War II, Stars and Stripes was almost exclusively funded by the federal government. That began to change in 1946 when the paper started to generate revenue through publication sales and adver-

L P

tising. Still, he said it’s not realistic to expect the publication will remain fiscally solvent on its own. The editorial staff, Lederer told me, includes about 60 people spread out all over the world. “We have reporters in Afghanistan, in Germany and Italy, Korea, Japan, in the United States. It’s all over the place,” he said, adding that between staff in Washington, D.C. and what he described as the “Pacific team” and “Europe team,” the website is managed by someone 24 hours a day. Lederer said the publication reaches more than 1.4 million readers between print, online, newsletters and podcasts. The organization’s goal is to provide news and information to military members, particularly those overseas where such content is hard to find. They also identify stories that are unique to the military. “It’s really important for people to remember that the number of people who serve in the military as compared to our total population is really pretty small,” Lederer said. “They’re sacrificing a lot, whether it’s the active duty person or their spouse or their dependents, or a civilian employee. And we owe them a sacrifice. And that is to provide them information that makes their life better, that allows them to still be full citizens of our country and allows them to successfully operate in foreign environments and in dangerous locations. And this is one of those tools to do that. It’s really important for them to feel that they’re informed, and they know what’s going on and what they’re doing is appreciated, valued and necessary.”

While the newspaper is trying to remain viable, so is the independently-run museum in Bloomfield, Missouri that celebrates Stars and Stripes history. This weekend the museum will hold its annual Liberty Days and related fundraisers. Lederer was scheduled to participate in a reception in Cape Girardeau Friday night, attend a breakfast at the Sikeston American Legion Post 114 on Saturday, and serve as the grand marshal of the Cotton Carnival parade. He’ll also participate in museum events in Bloomfield where reenactors from several military conflicts will be on hand through Sunday. A reception will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. Saturday night at the museum. This will be Lederer’s fourth trip to the museum. “It changes each time I come and is considerably different, which is really exciting,” he said. He said knowing the history of why the museum is located in Bloomfield is important. The newspaper was first published in 1861 after a union battle that took over the Bloomfield area. Additionally, it’s located next to a veterans’ cemetery. If you haven’t visited the Stars and Stripes Museum, it’s worth your time. Not only are there framed front pages of an iconic newspaper, but it also captures much history in a relatively small space. The museum’s Liberty Days this weekend is the perfect opportunity to not only see the museum exhibits but also enjoy presentations. Lucas Presson is assistant publisher of the Southeast Missourian.

The unscientific attack on the science of Dr. Scott Atlas T

he news media until recently had rarely criticized the medical advice of experts — especially those who worked for federal bureaucracies, international organizations or elite ICTOR universities. AVIS Yet the much-praised Tedros Adhanom ANSON Ghebreyesus, director-general of the World Health Organization, has demonstrably weakened the effort to ﬁght COVID-19. During the critical initial weeks of the virus’s spread, Tedros parroted Chinese propaganda. He falsely assured a complacent world that the virus was likely not transmissible between humans and did not warrant travel bans. That Tedros was the ﬁrst WHO director not to have a medical degree was seldom cited by the media. Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel is known to the public for his past advocacy of the Obama administration’s Affordable Care Act. Although he now advises 77-year-old presidential candidate Joe Biden, Emanuel once wrote an article for The Atlantic titled “Why I hope to die at 75,” contending that life after age 75 is, and should be, mostly over — now an eerie idea in a time of a pandemic that targets the elderly. Emanuel has often weighed in on the COVID-19 pandemic, sometimes in overly pessimistic fashion by suggesting that some acquired collective immunity and a viable vaccine were not likely to come soon. Yet Emanuel also has been largely exempt from media criticism. No reporters have questioned his epidemiological expertise despite his background as an oncologist specializing in breast cancer. The esteemed Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has

given conﬂicting advice on the use of masks, quarantining and the methods of viral transmission. Yet such inconsistency is either ignored or chalked up by the media to the usual learning curve of dealing with a new epidemic. So why — other than politics — is there now a concerted media attack on Dr. Scott Atlas, an adviser to the Trump administration on COVID-19 policy? Atlas has had a distinguished career as one of world’s top neuroradiologists. He has become a national expert on public health policy, especially in the cost-beneﬁt analysis of government programs. After COVID-19 arrived in the U.S., Atlas consistently warned that government must follow science, not politics, in doing the least amount of harm to its people. He has reminded us that those under 65 rarely die from COVID-19, and that those infected who are younger than 20 usually do not show any serious symptoms. Accordingly, Atlas has urged the states to focus more resources on the most vulnerable — those over 65, who account for the vast majority of COVID-19 deaths — and allow younger Americans to reenter schools and the workforce with appropriate caution. Atlas has also warned that the available test data on COVID-19’s infectiousness, spread and morbidity must be handled with care, given that those who feel sick are more likely to get tested. He argues that those with some natural protection from the virus, either through antibodies from an asymptotic past infection or through T-cells, may be a far larger group than previously thought. But most importantly, Atlas has warned that government must be careful not to endanger Americans with draconian lockdowns that curtail needed medical examinations, procedures and treatments. Just as dangerous as the disease may be quarantine-related spikes in

mental illness, substance abuse, child and spousal abuse, and depression from lost livelihoods. Children may be suffering irreparable harm from being locked down and kept out of school. Atlas has shown that these policy choices unfortunately entail bad options and even worse ones, rather than good choices and even better alternatives. He has not played down the dangers of COVID-19 but rather has reminded us to look at scientific data that often belies media sensationalism. Many in the media, some of his former colleagues at Stanford Medical School and some other Stanford faculty members have claimed that Atlas — a colleague of mine at the Hoover Institution — has acted unprofessionally. They allege that he has downplayed the lethality of the virus, implying that he is aiding the administration’s efforts to ease out of the quarantine. Yet few if any of these complainants have cited supporting evidence, either from what Atlas has written or said. Often the accusations turn puerile, suggesting that Atlas can’t be a public health expert because he was originally a neuroradiologist. In fact, rarely reported is that many members of the Stanford community are honored by its medical school receiving global acclaim for its diversity of expert scientific opinion on the virus. Nobel Prize-winning biophysicist Michael Levitt of Stanford, along with several stellar Stanford epidemiologists, have been praised worldwide for their careful critiques of often media-generated misconceptions — especially on the overreliance on COVID-19 positive test data to calibrate viral prevalence and morbidly. How ironic that some critics fault Atlas for not following science, but they do so in a fashion that is completely ... well, unscientific. authorvdh@gmail.com

PERSPECTIVES

Supreme Court bind that Democrats face is their fault D

emocrats are seething over their inability to stop Republicans from confirming Judge Amy Coney Barrett and securing a 6-to-3 conservative majority on the Supreme Court. MARC They have no one to THIESSEN blame but themselves. Had it not been for their breaches of long-standing precedent, Republicans would have zero chance of confirming Barrett — and Justice Brett Kavanaugh would not be sitting on the high court today. For Democrats, history always seems to begin with the GOP refusal to confirm Merrick Garland in 2016. In their self-serving narrative, Republicans “stole” Garland’s seat and now they plan to “steal” Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s seat as well — thefts that justify packing the Supreme Court to restore a liberal majority if Democrats win in November. This storyline may be soothing, but it is false. And it conveniently glosses over their own responsibility for their current predicament. Democrats made three catastrophic mistakes that led them to this moment: Their first blunder came in 2003 and 2004, when they broke precedent by blocking 10 of President George W. Bush’s judicial nominees, including the eminently qualified Miguel Estrada, for the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Never in U.S. history had an appellate court nominee been successfully filibustered before. The Senate Democrats’ actions were so brazen that in 2005, Republicans briefly considered eliminating the judicial filibuster. But in the end, they backed down — recognizing that, as then-Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., warned them on the Senate floor, “you may own the field right now, but you won’t own it

forever.” Back then, Biden told Republicans, “I pray God when the Democrats take back control, we don’t make the kind of naked power grab you are doing.” Yet after the Obama-Biden administration took office and Democrats won back the Senate, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., did exactly what Democrats had warned Republicans not to do — eliminating the filibuster for lifetime appointments to the federal bench for all but Supreme Court nominees and allowing Democrats to fill the circuit courts with liberal judges. This was their second catastrophic mistake, and it came back to haunt them when the Senate flipped back to GOP control and a Supreme Court seat came open during President Barack Obama’s final months in office. Had it not been for these two breaches of precedent by Democrats — first invoking the judicial filibuster and then eliminating it — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., would never have had enough support in his caucus to block a vote on Garland’s nomination in 2016 to succeed the late justice Antonin Scalia. Far from being chastened, in October 2016 Reid bragged that when Hillary Clinton won the presidency and Democrats took back the Senate, they would eliminate the filibuster for the Supreme Court, confirming her nominees by simple majority vote. It didn’t work out as they planned. Republicans held the Senate, and Donald Trump won the White House. That led to the Democrats’ third grievous mistake when, in a fit of pique over Garland, they filibustered President Trump’s nomination of Neil Gorsuch. Gorsuch was so obviously qualified in intellect, character and temperament that he won the support of liberal Harvard Law professor Laurence Tribe and former Obama acting solicitor general Neal Katyal. The decision to filibuster Gorsuch was so transparently partisan that it

united reluctant Republicans behind eliminating the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees. They realized that if Gorsuch couldn’t be confirmed, no individual nominated by a Republican president could be. Had Democrats let Gorsuch through, the 60-vote threshold for future nominees would still be in place today. There is zero chance Republicans would have been able muster the votes to eliminate it to confirm Kavanaugh in 2018, which means his nomination would have failed. And Republicans would have zero chance of eliminating it to confirm Barrett today. In other words, the Democrats’ actions backfired on them every step of the way. Have they learned their lesson? Not at all. Now they are threatening to break precedent yet again, by packing the court if Republicans confirm Barrett and they take the Senate in November. Her confirmation is nothing more than a pretext. Democrats were planning to pack the court long before Ginsburg died. In 2019, Senate Democrats — including Richard Durbin, D-Ill., the second-ranking Democratic leader — threatened justices in an amicus brief, declaring, “The Supreme Court is not well. And the people know it. Perhaps the Court can heal itself before the public demands it be ‘restructured in order to reduce the influence of politics.’” Democrats were for the filibuster under Bush, against it under Obama, for it again under Trump — and now they want to eliminate it under a President Biden for legislation as well as nominations so they can pack the Supreme Court. Court-packing will backfire on them, as well. Because even if they succeed, at some point Republicans will win back power and use the precedent Democrats set to install justices of their own. They should heed Biden’s 2005 words of warning: They may own the field come November, but they won’t own it forever.

Blacks and Trump resident Donald Trump just rolled out his new “Black Economic Empowerment Platinum Plan.” The plan focuses on building on his achievements since 2016 to improve the lives of Black Americans by creating more opportunity to participate in a growing economy and to achieve greater security in life and property. TAR A poll by The Hill and HarrisX ARKER released almost a month ago, after the Republican convention, showed approval for Trump surging among Blacks, to 24% — triple the 8% he got in the 2016 election. A recent Washington Post/ABC poll and a recent Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll show the president at 9% and 5% Black support, respectively. If indeed the post-convention surge in support from Blacks is eroding, it’s important to think about why that might be happening. The Census Bureau just published its annual report called “Income and Poverty in the United States: 2019.” The data shows substantial economic gains among Black Americans that would very much justify strong new Black support for the president. Among the data reported is annual gains in real median income for all U.S. households, and for Black households in particular, from 1967 to 2019. The average U.S. household median income increased 6.8% from 2018 to 2019, the largest increase in history. However, the median Black household income increased even more — 8%, also the largest in history. Furthermore, as American Enterprise Institute economist Mark Perry notes, the 8% increase was “almost nine times the average annual increase of 0.90% over the last half-century.” The report also breaks out Black households by defining them as low-income, middle-income or high-income. Low-income is defined as $25,000 annual income or less, middle-income as $25,000 to $75,000 and high-income as above $75,000. In 2019, per the Census Bureau, 29.4% of Black households were high-income, compared with 9.1% in 1967. Forty-one percent of Black households were categorized as middle-income in 2019, compared with 46.4% in 1967, and 28.7% were low-income in 2019, compared with 44.5% in 1967. The defining landmark moment in 2019 was that, for the first time ever, the percentage of Black households categorized as high-income, 29.4%, exceeded the percentage of Black households categorized as low-income, 28.7%. The percentage of high-income Black households in 2019 was over three times that of 1967. If Black support is not strengthening with news like this, and is possibly even weakening, what is a possible explanation? One possibility is the aggressive and very well-funded disinformation campaigns the left disseminates into Black communities, shutting down good news and manufacturing bad news. I wrote a few weeks ago about a campaign initiated by my organization, the Center for Urban Renewal and Education, to disseminate into Black inner cities via billboards the message that the way out of poverty is finishing school, taking any job and getting married. As I reported, Black Lives Matter in Milwaukee immediately protested and got the billboard company, Clear Channel Outdoor, to take down the billboards. Economist Perry examined the new Census Bureau data and checked the characteristics of high-income versus low-income families. His summary: “(I) ndividuals in high-income households are far more likely than individuals in low-income households to be well-educated, married, working full-time, and in their prime earning years. In contrast, individuals in lower-income households are far more likely ... to be less-educated, working part-time ... and living in single-parent or single households.” The Census Bureau data bears out to the letter the truth about escaping poverty that my organization had posted in Black neighborhoods and Black Lives Matter had dismantled. Similarly, the economic successes achieved in Black communities by the current administration are suppressed and drowned out by systematic left-wing propaganda. Unfortunately, real progress and real answers are not enough. The good news must be aggressively communicated inside Black communities. Prodigiously funded left-wing propaganda into Black communities must be addressed.

S P

Many Democrats are getting nervous about the upcoming presidential election. Ominous, extensively reported articles by two of the best in the business — the New Yorker’s Jeffrey TooENE bin and The Atlantic’s Barton Gellman — YONS outline Boss Trump’s plot to keep control of the White House in 2021 no matter how the American people vote. Trump is hardly making a secret of it. He’s pointedly refused to commit to “a peaceful transfer of power.” “Well, we’re going to have to see what happens,” is how he answered the question. He added that after we “get rid of the ballots” — presumably mail-in ballots he’s been whining about for weeks — “there won’t be a transfer, frankly. There’ll be a continuation.” Of course, Trump himself has always voted by mail, but then brazen hypocrisy is his standard operating mode. If you haven’t noticed, he also lies a lot. Without prevaricating, boasting and griping, he’d be mute. And even then, he’d still have Twitter. He recently tweeted that the winner “may NEVER BE ACCURATELY DETERMINED” because mail-in ballots make it a “RIGGED ELECTION in waiting.” Gellman gets this part exactly right in The Atlantic: “Let us not hedge about one thing. Donald Trump may win or lose, but he will never concede. Not under any circumstance. Not during the Interregnum and not afterward. If compelled in the end to vacate his office, Trump will insist from exile, as long as he draws breath, that the contest was rigged. “Trump’s invincible commitment to this stance will be the most important fact about the coming Interregnum. It will deform the proceedings from beginning to end. We have not

G L

experienced anything like it before.” No, we haven’t. However, it’s important to remember that Trump makes threats and promises almost daily that never happen. Remember that gigantic border wall Mexico was going to pay for? Trump has repaired existing barriers and built a few miles of new ones — leaving him roughly 2,000 miles short. His brilliant cheaper, better health care plan? Nonexistent. On Labor Day, Boss Trump boasted of his unparalleled success in strong-arming Japan into building new auto-manufacturing plants. “They’re being built in Ohio, they’re being built in South Carolina, North Carolina, they’re being built all over and expanded at a level that we’ve never seen before.” Not a word of that is true. Two new plants — one German, another Swedish — have opened in South Carolina, but construction began before Trump took office. Auto industry investment during Barack Obama’s second term far exceeded Trump’s. His version is sheer make-believe. But back to the GOP scheme to steal the election. First, it’s clear that even Trump understands that he has virtually no chance of winning the national popular vote. He’s been polling in the low 40s, with no sign of change. To have any chance of prevailing in the Electoral College, he’s got to do the electoral equivalent of drawing to an inside straight all over again — winning a half-dozen so-called battleground states where he defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016 by the narrowest of margins. At this writing, that looks highly unlikely. The latest polling in mustwin Pennsylvania, for example, shows Trump trailing Joe Biden by 9 points. That’s a landslide. Trump’s down 10 in Wisconsin, 8 in Michigan. And so on. So spare me the screeching emails in ALL CAPS, OK? Polls were actu-

ally quite accurate in 2016. Trump narrowly defeated the odds. It can happen. But he’s in far worse shape this time. Furthermore, early voting turnout is very high, with Democrats outnumbering Republicans 2-to-1. Hence, The Atlantic reports, “Trump’s state and national legal teams are already laying the groundwork for postelection maneuvers that would circumvent the results of the vote count in battleground states.” The plan is clear. Because more Democrats than Republicans are choosing mail-in voting during the COVID-19 pandemic, Trump hopes to prevent those ballots from being counted. Assuming he’ll have a narrow “swing state” lead on election night, he’ll declare victory and start filing lawsuits. “The red mirage,” some Democrats call it. “As a result,” Toobin writes, “the aftermath of the 2020 election has the potential to make 2000 look like a mere skirmish” — with Trump in the White House urging armed militias to take to the streets. Mail-in votes take a long time to count. Things could definitely get crazy. True, but filing a lawsuit to halt a Florida recount was one thing. Filing suits against a half-dozen states to prevent votes from being counted at all is quite another. Public reaction would be strong. Also, winning such lawsuits requires serious evidence of fraud. Trumpian bluster ain’t evidence. The Atlantic also reports that GOP-controlled state legislatures are thinking about sending Trumpist delegations to the Electoral College regardless of the popular vote winner — theoretically constitutional but currently illegal. Fat chance. If that’s the best they’ve got, they’ve got nothing. Anyway, here’s the antidote: Vote early, and in person. eugenelyons2@yahoo.com

WASHINGTON — Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett signed a 2006 newspaper ad sponsored by an anti-abortion group in which she said she opposed “abortion on demand” and defended “the right to life from fertilization to the end of natural life.” The ad, which had more than 1,200 names attached to it, appears to be the most direct expression of Barrett’s opposition to abortion and is sure to intensify debate that she would vote to restrict, if not overturn, abortion rights if she is conﬁrmed to the Supreme Court. It was not included in materials Barrett provided to the Senate Judiciary Committee for her pending high-court nomination or in 2017, when she was nominated to the job she currently holds as a judge on the federal appeals court based in Chicago. President Donald Trump has nominated Barrett to take the seat of Justice Ruth

Judge Amy Coney Barrett, President Donald Trump’s nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court, meets with Sen. Deb Fischer, R-Neb., not pictured, on Capitol Hill in Washington on Thursday. Bader Ginsburg, an abortion rights supporter who died last month. White House spokesperson Judd Deere said Barrett already has distinguished her personal views from her responsibility as a judge. “As Judge Barrett said on the day she was nominated, ‘A judge must apply the law as written. Judges are not policymakers, and they must be resolute in setting aside any policy views they might hold,”’ Deere said in an email. Barrett, meeting for a third day with senators on Capitol Hill, declined to comment when asked why she did not disclose the ad on her questionnaire. She was meeting with Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo, who has pledged to support only nominees who acknowledge that Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided. “How she will vote in the future on Roe, I don’t know,” Hawley said. Barrett was a professor at the University of Notre Dame Law School when she and her husband, Jesse, along with other people affiliated with Notre Dame, signed the

brief statement sponsored by Right to Life of St. Joseph County, Indiana. “We, the following citizens of Michiana, oppose abortion on demand and defend the right to life from fertilization to the end of natural life,” the ad in the South Bend (Indiana) Tribune read. “Please continue to pray to end abortion.” The statement was part of a two-page spread that ran in conjunction with the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade ruling in 1973 that declared a nationwide, constitutional right to abortion. “It’s time to put an end to the barbaric legacy of Roe v. Wade and restore laws that protect the lives of unborn children,” the other, unsigned page of the ad read. Jackie Appleman, executive director of the anti-abortion group, declined to comment. The group is now known as Right to Life Michiana, encompassing parts of Indiana and Michigan. The South Bend Tribune provided a copy of the ad, dated Jan. 21, 2006, to The Associated Press. The Guardian newspaper ﬁrst reported the

existence of the ad. Barrett’s name on the ad points in the same direction as her membership in Notre Dame’s “Faculty for Life” group and her name on a 2015 letter to Roman Catholic bishops affirming the “value of human life from conception to natural death.” But she said about abortion in her 2017 questionnaire before her confirmation to the appeals court that “my views on this or any other question will have no bearing on the discharge of my duties as a judge.” On the Senate floor, meanwhile, Democrats who know they can’t stop Barrett’s nomination continued Thursday to use Senate rules to delay and call attention to Republican states’ lawsuit, backed by the Trump administration, to strike down the Affordable Care Act. The court will hear the latest challenge to the law a week after the election, and if confirmed by then, Barrett could take part. “The threat to Americans’ health care is very, very real,” Schumer said before senators voted on whether to prevent the Department of Justice from arguing to strike down the Affordable Care Act in the Supreme Court. “And Senate Republicans are tying themselves in knots in trying to explain how it’s not.” The vote got 51 of the 60 votes it needed to pass. While Democrats knew the vote would fail, Schumer tied up business on the Senate floor for over an hour — and forced Republicans to go on the record as endorsing the administration’s efforts to repeal it. Six Republicans voted with Democrats: Maine Sen. Susan Collins, Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst, Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner, Arizona Sen. Martha McSally and Alaska Sens. Lisa Murkowksi and Dan Sullivan.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. unemployment rate dropped to 7.9% in September, but hiring is slowing and many Americans have given up looking for work, the government said Friday in the ﬁnal jobs report before the voters decide whether to give President Donald Trump another term. With a month to go before Election Day, the Labor Department said employers added just 661,000 jobs in September amid the coronavirus outbreak, down from 1.5 million in August and 1.8 million in July. Unemployment fell from 8.4% in August, but that

mainly reﬂected a decline in the number of people seeking work, rather than a surge in hiring. The government doesn’t count people as unemployed if they aren’t actively looking for a job. “There seems to be a worrisome loss of momentum,” said Drew Matus, an economist at MetLife Investment Management. “There’s a lot of caution on the part of employers.” With September’s hiring gain, the economy has recovered slightly more than half the 22 million jobs wiped out by the coronavirus, which has now killed over 200,000 Americans and infected more than 7 million.

Chiefs prepared for run-heavy Pats BY DAVE SKRETTA

ASSOCIATED PRESS

KANSAS CITY — The Kansas City Chiefs have struggled over the years to stop the run, regardless of who was directing their defense. But they showed in last week’s win over the Baltimore Ravens that they could rise to the challenge. They have another big one this weekend. The New England Patriots roll into Arrowhead Stadium behind new quarterback Cam Newton, himself a threat to run, and a backfield that went roughshod over the Las Vegas Raiders last weekend. Sony Michel needed just nine carries to pile up 117 yards, Rex Burkhead reached the end zone three times and the Patriots totaled 250 yards rushing in the win. “Cam being in a role there that he’s fully accepted, I think he’s enjoying it,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said, “and we anticipate them being able to run the ball, but don’t be fooled, because Cam can throw the ball very well, too.” That may be true, but it’s not as if the Chiefs (3-0) are preparing for Tom Brady in his heyday. The first order of business any week may be to stop the run – something the Chiefs did quite well against the Ravens on Monday night – but the challenge is even more important when the Patriots (2-1) have shown such a propensity for grinding out yards on the ground. They lead the league in rushing through the first three weeks. The Chiefs are 27th at defending the run. The Patriots also hope their running game allows them to control the clock, shortening the game and thereby keeping record-setting quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the dynamic

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (8) scrambles as he is pursued by Kansas City Chiefs strong safety Tyrann Mathieu, left, defensive end Michael Danna and inside linebacker Anthony Hitchens during the second half of a recent game in Baltimore. Chiefs offense off the ﬁeld. “Ball control and points. You know that,” Patriots running backs coach Ivan Fears said. “Let’s get the points and let’s control the ball; I don’t care how we do it. Dink-and-dunk, quarterback sneak, I don’t give a (darn). Just get it done.” They have a lot of guys who can get it done, too. Michel, Burkhead and Newton are a considerable three-headed monster, but undrafted rookie J.J. Taylor also has gotten into the mix. James White was back at practice this week after the death of his father in an auto accident, as was Damien Harris, who has been on injured reserve with a ﬁnger problem. “We’re a bunch of competitors,” Taylor said, “but we also want to see each other succeed.” The Patriots will need them to against the Chiefs on Sunday.

CAM AND GET IT Newton is the fourth straight quarterback the Chiefs have prepared for that can run. They faced the Texans’ Deshaun Watson in the opener, then prepared

for the Chargers’ Tyrod Taylor in Week 2, though he was ruled out shortly before kickoff because of a medical mishap. Then came the Ravens’ Lamar Jackson last week. “Cam can do anything. Cam, he’s been the passer, he’s been the runner, he’s been the whole deal,” Reid said. “You have to prepare for everything and we went in that way with Lamar, the same thing.”

INJURY UPDATE The Chiefs will be without rookie cornerback L’Jarius Sneed, who has two picks through his ﬁrst three games, but who had surgery this week on the collarbone he broke Monday night in Baltimore. They also could be without Chris Jones, who came into the week leading the AFC with 3 1/2 sacks, because of a groin injury. Top cornerback Bashaud Breeland remains out while serving the ﬁnal game of his four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s substance-abuse policy.

MAHOMES IN 2020

MVP continues to have an unforgettable a year. He led the Chiefs to their ﬁrst title in 50 years, signed a longterm deal that could pay him a half-billion dollars, got engaged to his long-time girlfriend and this week announced the couple is going to have a baby. Oh, and he’s also started the season by throwing for nearly 300 yards per game with nine touchdown passes, another touchdown on the ground and no interceptions. “I mean, all the superlatives that have been said about him, I’d just be repeating them all,” Patriots coach Bill Belichick said.

PASSING THE BUCK While the biggest challenge facing the Chiefs may be stopping the run, the biggest facing the Patriots will be covering their fleet of pass catchers. Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins are merely the start of the headaches – fellow wide receivers Mecole Hardman and Demarcus Robinson, tight end Travis Kelce and running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire are all threats. “They have five good receivers out there on almost every play,” Belichick said, “so it’s hard to match up with two, three or four of them, but they’ve got five and a great quarterback and a great offensive system. They maximize the amount of pressure they put on you and they do a lot of different things.”

FAN-TASTIC NEWS The Chiefs will welcome about 17,000 fans to Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday. It’s the 22% of capacity that they were allowed for their Week 1 win over Houston, but welcome news after empty stands on visits to the Chargers and Ravens.

Jackson From Page 1B The win was the 27th consecutive in regular season play for the Indians (6-0). Jackson looked magniﬁcent on both sides of the ball – and found the end zone on both sides of the ball. The Indian defense recovered a Fox fumble on the game’s second play, which led to a short touchdown run by one of those “senior leaders,” Indian running back Daniel Dickerson for a 7-0 advantage. Dickerson had 90 yards

Tigers’ running back Tyray Jackson is tackled by Sikeston on Friday in Cape Girardeau. On the third play from scrimmage, the Bulldogs fumbled. “It was a bad snap,” said Sikeston coach Terry Flannigan. “The kid snapped good all night but for that one time that turned out to be critical (for us),” he added. Central built up a 22-8 halftime lead but was sluggish coming out of intermission, turning the ball over three successive times to Sikeston — two TOs due

rushing to pace his team, while it was the arm of another “senior leader,” quarterback Cael Welker, who stretched the margin to 14-0 on Jackson’s second series. Welker (17 of 24 passing, 210 yards) threw an 11-yard strike to sophomore Marquis Eckley for a score before finding senior Rhet Liley for the first of his three scores that made it 21-0 before the end of the first quarter. Liley had some low moments in the game (a fumble and got banged up in the second half), but he had a lot more high moments, as

SCOTT CITY, Mo. — Behind a stout defensive night, the Kelly football team continued its history-making season, defeating Scott City for the first time in program history at William Wilthong Field Friday night. The Hawks picked off Rams quarterback Devin Keller four times, while also blocking an extra point attempt and forcing one fumble, in its 20-6 win. "My defensive staff, my hats are off to them," Kelly head coach Lance Powers said. "They brought in a great game plan for this week, and the players executed it. They fought all night long, and I think we won the turnover battle. When that happens, good things will happen, and good things happened for the Kelly Hawks tonight." Bryce Phelps picked off the first Keller pass for Kelly (5-1), as the junior read the play perfectly and came away with the turnover. Then, on the next Scott City drive, the first play from scrimmage resulted in the second interception, as senior Drew Dirnberger came down with the football after Keller tried to look for a receiver in the end zone. Still looking for the first points of the game, both Hawks' interceptions did not lead to that, as Kelly had to punt the football away after both takeaways. However, after Scott City freshman Mark Panagos returned the ball down to the Scott City 16yard line after the Hawks

punted from the end zone, the Rams fell to the same fate. Never letting up when Scott City was threatening to score, Kelly's defense came away with a turnover on downs. From there, the Hawks managed to reach pay dirt for the first time. On the drive's first play, senior quarterback Bryce Morgan found junior receiver Ty Powers for a 29-yard gain. Then one play later, he found junior receiver Gavin Jansen on a 27-yard completion after the 6-foot-4 wideout laid out to make the grab. The drive would end in Jansen's hands after Morgan found him for a short two-yard touchdown for the game's first points with 2:07 left in the first half. Jansen's touchdown wouldn't be the only positive play he would make in the half, however. On the Rams' first play of their ensuing drive, Keller again tried to find an open receiver, but was picked off for the third time in half — by Jansen — and give Kelly the ball right back. Kelly did not manage to score, though, as Powers field goal attempt went off the mark. Moving to the second half, Scott City started to find a little rhythm offensively. On the second drive of the half, the Rams capped it off on six plays from the Kelly 20-yard line, after senior Skyler Sykes rushed for a 28-yard touchdown to make it a 7-6 game with 1:09 left in the third.

Win

with 9:37 left in the first half. On the next possession, the Bulldogs converted a third and 17 from their own 38 on a 30-yard pass play from Adams to Winsor. They drove to the 4 for first and goal, but Adams fumbled on second down, pushing the Bulldogs back to the 12. Adams and Winsor connected a pass play on the right side to tie the score at 12 with 3:44 to play. The Red Devils struck again less than two minutes later, when Mckenzie and Fitzgerald connected on a 57-yard pass play for an 18-12 lead with 1:59 remaining. Horrell scored the two-point conversion for a 20-12 lead. The Bulldogs converted passes of 17, 6 and 24 yards to move the ball to the 23. Under pressure, Adams threw a high pass to the left front corner of the end zone, and Hollingshead made the catch between two defenders for a 2018 lead with 52 seconds left. Chaffee struck again on the ensuing kickoff, as Fitzgerald returned it 74 yards for a touchdown with 38 seconds to play. Portageville needed only 30 seconds to drive 61 yards after a 16-yard kickoff return by Winsor. The Adams-Winsor tandem gained 32 yards on first down, and after an incompletion, Adams and Hollingshead connected for a 29-yard touchdown as time expired. Neither team scored any points in the third quarter, setting up Portageville’s strong finish.

Cape overcomes turnovers to beat Sikeston A sure indication of the rapidly growing maturity of Cape Central sophomore quarterback Morgan Diamond was evidenced during the Tigers’ first series of downs against visiting Sikeston Friday at Tiger Field. Center Landon Hiett’s snap flew over Diamond’s head all the way back to midfield. Diamond scooped it up, eluded a furious Bulldogs rush and managed to throw a looping 28-yard touchdown pass to senior Damione Edwards. Turning a busted play into points pleased second-year Tigers coach Kent Gibbs. “(Diamond) showed great poise on that particular play,” said Gibbs. “He turned something bad into something good — a big play — right when we needed it,” he added. Central (2-3, 1-2 SEMO North) never trailed in holding off Sikeston (2-4, 0-4), sending the Bulldogs to their fourth consecutive loss. Sikeston did manage to close the gap to a field goal, trailing host Central 22-19 with 8:19 left in the 4th quarter after a Dylan Thornbrough 22-yard field goal. After a Central failed to convert on the next series of downs, the Bulldogs took over with a chance to take the lead.

Kelly downs Scott City

to fumbles and the third via interception. “We did some things that kept Sikeston in the game,” said Gibbs, noting not only the second half turnovers but two late hits by the Central defense that extended Sikeston drives. “You can’t have those three (turnovers) and some of the penalties and expect to win many football games,” said Gibbs, whose record at Central improves to 9-8 overall.

Flannigan said in close prep football contests, the ﬁnal score is sometimes decided by just a few snaps. “There are four or ﬁve plays every game that will determine (the outcome),” said Flannigan, in his second year at Sikeston.

Zaven Lieble for a 34yard gain, and Brian Horrell ran to his right for 16 yards and a touchdown with 6:44 to play, slicing the deficit to 38-32. Portageville drove 51 yards on the ensuing possession, capping the drive with an 11-yard touchdown pass from Adams to Benthel for a 44-32 lead with 1:22 to play. Seconds later, Adams intercepted a pass from Chaffee freshman quarterback Levi McKinnie and returned it 70 yards for a touchdown and a 5032 lead with 1:05 remaining. Portageville’s passing game struggled early, as Adams’ first five passes fell incomplete. However, his first completion was a 43-yards to Hollingshead that tied the score at 6 with 34 seconds left in the first quarter. Chaffee took a 6-0 lead less than two minutes earlier. Horrell broke loose down the left sideline for a 60-yard run on first and 10. He ran right on the following play for a 10-yard touchdown with 2:32 left. Luke Moylen’s 23-yard return of the ensuing kickoff gave the Bulldogs possession at the Chaffee 43. The Red Devils recaptured the lead about two minutes into the second quarter. McKinnie and Drew Swinford teamed for a 43yard touchdown pass to give the Red Devils 12-6

Next up Central goes on the road to face Poplar Bluff (3-2, 1-2) while Sikeston (2-4, 0-4) travels to the SEMO South’s Charleston (1-3, 1-2).

he grabbed ﬁve passes for 78 yards. “He had that fumble and was beating himself up for it,” Eckley said of Liley, “but he’s a great player, a great kid with great character. He bounced back and played physical.” Fox rallied with three scores before halftime – each on big plays. “The good thing about our kids,” Warrior coach Brent Tinker said, “we may not win every time, but we’ll ﬁght anybody.” Dickerson added another short score for a 27-21 lead before Herring’s score made it 35-21.

The latter was the ﬁrst of 32 consecutive points to close the game. In the second half, the Indian offense got two more scores from Welker to Liley (17 yards and seven yards), before the Jackson defense took over. Senior linebacker Bryce Norman leaped and spun in the air to haul in a pass from Fox’s reserve quarterback who had come in for one play after the starter got dinged. Noramn made the snag, landed and sprinted through a handful of nowFox defenders and didn’t stop for 75 yards until reach-

ing the end zone. The Indian Nation thought that was the defensive highlight before junior defensive lineman Cole Parker did the same and ran his interception back 85 yards for a score. “Those weren’t necessarily the difference in the game,” Eckley said, “but they sure were huge. It takes pressure off the guys.” As it turns out, pressure isn’t exactly a dilemma that this Jackson squad is incapable of handling. The Indians will host SEMO Conference foe and Class 5 No. 9-ranked Farmington (6-0) Friday at 7 p.m.

9 Padres pitchers blank Cardinals 4-0 in Game 3 BY BERNIE WILSON

ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN DIEGO — Craig Stammen and eight fellow relievers combined on a four-hitter in a brilliant, record-setting effort that sent the San Diego Padres over the St. Louis Cardinals 4-0 Friday night in the deciding Game 3 of their NL wild-card series. The Padres won a postseason series for the first time in 22 years and advanced to face the NL West rival Los Angeles Dodgers in the division series at Arlington, Texas, starting Tuesday. The nine pitchers marked the most used in a nine-inning shutout in any big league game since 1901. With starters Mike Clevinger and Dinelson Lamet unavailable due to injuries suffered in their final regular-season starts, rookie manager Jayce Tingler was forced to tap the Padres’ already-stressed bullpen and it came through magnificently. San Diego became the first team in baseball history to use eight or more pitchers in three straight postseason games. Trevor Rosenthal, who started his career with the Cardinals, struck out the side in the ninth and the Padres began to celebrate in empty Petco Park. It’s the first postseason series win for the Padres since they beat the Atlanta Braves in the 1998 NLCS and only the second time they’ve won a playoff game at Petco Park, which opened in 2004. The Padres lost to St. Louis in the division series in 2005 and 2006, the last time the Padres were in the postseason. The Cardinals also eliminated the Padres in 1996. All four division series feature matchups between division rivals. All seven Central teams lost in the first round, with the Cardinals joining Cincinnati, the Chicago Cubs, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Chicago White Sox and Minnesota. Fernando Tatis Jr., who homered twice and drove in five runs in Thursday night’s wild 11-9 victory, doubled into the left-field corner off losing pitcher Jack Flaherty with one out in the fifth and scored on Eric Hosmer’s two-out double to right-center. The Padres added on against reliever Alex Reyes in the seventh, on a bases-loaded walk to Hosmer and Manny Machado’s fielder’s choice and an error on third baseman Tommy Edman. Rookie Jake Cronenworth homered in the eighth. With spectators watching from balconies on buildings surrounding the outfield and on a bigscreen TV in a nearby parking lot, the Padres rewarded their long-suffering fans by winning one of the most meaningful games of any kind in San Diego in a long time. The city’s only major professional championship remains the San Diego Chargers’ 1963 AFL title. The Chargers left for Los Angeles after the 2016 season, leaving the Padres as the only pro team in San Diego, which lost NBA teams to Houston and Los Angeles.

The Padres lost 4-1 to the Detroit Tigers in the 1984 World Series and were swept by the New York Yankees in the 1998 Fall Classic. The 36-year-old Stammen, who hadn’t started since 2010 with the Washington Nationals, pitched a perfect first inning and made way for Tim Hill with one on and two out in the second. Hill retired Matt Carpenter, got the first two outs of the third and then handed off to Pierce Johnson. Johnson loaded the bases on a single and a walk but struck out rookie cleanup hitter Dylan Carlson. Rookie Adrian Morejon tossed a perfect fourth and struck out two to open the fifth before Kolten Wong singled and San Diegan Tommy Edman reached on Tatis Jr.’s throwing error from shortstop. Austin Adams came on and struck out Paul Goldschmidt, who hit a threerun homer in St. Louis’ 7-4 win in Game 1. Adams wound up with the win. St. Louis had another scoring chance in the sixth when Yadier Molina hit a one-out double off rookie Luis Patino and took third on Paul DeJong’s grounder. Patino got Dexter Fowler to fly out to the warning track in right-center to end it. Emilio Pagan threw a perfect seventh and Drew Pomeranz walked one in the eighth. The bullpen had been one of the Padres’ strengths coming into the season but lost several members to injuries, including closer Kirby Yates, who led the majors with 41 saves last year. General manager A.J. Preller replenished it just before the trade deadline. Stammen had a seesaw regular season, going 4-2 with a 5.63 ERA in 24 appearances. Flaherty was brilliant as well, allowing one run and six hits in six innings while striking out eight and walking two. The loss ended a season that saw the Cardinals shut down by a virus outbreak in the early going. Manager Mike Shildt’s team earned a playoff spot by last Sunday by winning on the final day of the regular season.

Bradley leads by 2 going into weekend at Miss. tourney ASSOCIATED PRESS JACKSON, Miss. — Keegan Bradley likes the way he’s putting. He must really like the idea that the birdie putts he made Friday on his way to a 7-under 65 were not terribly far from the hole. In his debut in the Sanderson Farms Championship, Bradley made three straight birdies on the back nine to take the lead and closed with another short birdie putt to take a two-shot lead over J.T. Poston and Charley Hoffman. Bradley, whose victory in the BMW Championship at Aronimink two years ago was his only title in the last eight years, was at 13-under 131 at the Country Club of Jackson. Poston made ﬁve birdies on the back nine for a 67, while Hoffman shot 69. “I had a blast today playing,” Bradley said. “It’s so fun to be done with the round, done with 36 holes and say, ‘Man, that was a fun time.’ Sometimes it’s not fun at all. What a great day, and I’m bringing a lot to the weekend that I’m happy about.” It hasn’t been much fun in the last year for Bradley, who won the PGA

Championship as a rookie. He hasn’t had a top 10 since his runner-up ﬁnish at the Travelers Championship in June 2019. But he likes how he’s playing and how he’s putting on the fast, pure Bermuda greens. Also having a blast is M.J. Daffue of South Africa, who gets by on Monday qualifiers and is giving himself another chance. Daffue was a Monday qualifier for the Workday Charity Open at Muirfield Village, birdied his last hole of the second round to make the cut and tied for 22nd. This was his third time Monday qualifying since July. Daffue, a 31-year-old who played college golf at Lamar, goes week-toweek, so it shouldn’t be too difficult for him to avoid looking ahead. “Trying to do everything at once – get all those points at once or trying to win – it will really eat at you,” Daffue said. “So I’m just trying to chip away at it. I’m in a good position. Try to get to a target score for the week and just keep hitting the shots and try to hit good putts.”

Confident Tennessee ready for Missouri next BY TERESA M. WALKER

ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Tennessee Volunteers have picked up where they left off last season, and each victory just keeps building their conﬁdence. The 21st-ranked Vols now have won seven consecutive games and trail only Air Force and Notre Dame, winners of eight straight, for the longest winning streak in the Football Bowl Subdivision. The streak includes ﬁve straight in the Southeastern Conference, a drastic change from a year ago when they started 1-4. Belief in third-year coach Jeremy Pruitt couldn’t be higher after beating South Carolina 31-27 to open this season. “Guys are just buying in to the program, buying in to what Coach Pruitt is saying every day and it’s just coming to light,” pass rusher Deandre Johnson said. “These guys are working hard, busting their tails off and we just want to win, so it’s coming to light.” Tennessee is back in Knoxville for its home opener hosting Missouri on Saturday afternoon. Missouri is 3-1 at Neyland Stadium, but the coronavirus pandemic has

stripped away much of the pageantry that visitors usually face. The Tigers lost their opener 38-19 to No. 2 Alabama, and now firstyear coach Eli Drinkwitz gets to take them on the road. Missouri hasn’t lost its first two games since 1996. Drinkwitz says the Tigers have plenty to work on after losing to Alabama. “Before we can win a championship, we got to keep from beating ourself,” Drinkwitz said. “And we had too many self-inflicted plays on offense, defense and special teams where we just didn’t execute to the standard that we need to execute to.”

MAYS FREED The campaign called #FreeCadeMays ﬁnally succeeded Wednesday night when SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey approved a number of waivers for players who transferred inside the school. The lineman transferred from Georgia in January soon after his father, Kevin, sued the university over an incident that cost him part of a ﬁnger. Mays had to sit out the opener, but he’s been practicing. He should move immediately into the starting lineup for a Tennessee offensive

line that now is as strong as the Vols have had in a few years. “We’ve repped him all the way through camp with the twos at different positions just in case it did happen we would be ready,” Pruitt said.

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

MORE HELP COMING Tennessee allowed 290 yards passing in its opener, and now the Vols are poised to add some help. Starting safety Jaylen McCullough and cornerback Warren Burrell should be back to help the depth after cornerback Bryce Thompson moved to safety at South Carolina. Defensive end Darel Middleton also will have a chance to play after sitting out the opener.

ROAD WARRIOR

Associated Press file

Missouri football coach Eliah Drinkwitz watches his team warm up before a recent game against Alabama in Columbia. Missouri is 4-4 since joining the Southeastern Conference in 2012 in the Tigers’ ﬁrst road game of the season. Drinkwitz showed last season at Appalachian State he knows how to take a team on the road and win, going 6-0 with wins at North Carolina and South Carolina.

STILL NEYLAND STADIUM Tennessee will have fans inside the stadium with approximately 25% of capacity. There won’t be the traditional Vol Walk before kickoff

among all the changes for the pandemic. Senior wide receiver Brandon Johnson said it will be different, but it’s till home. “It will be my ﬁrst time ever playing in Neyland without all of the traditions, the things that we’re so accustomed to and the things we love,” Johnson said. “At the end of the day, it’s still about football and that’s what we’re focused on. We’re focused on getting our second win of the season, and that’s the main goal.”

Two games matching ranked Southeastern Conference teams. including the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry, highlights the ﬁfth week of the college football season. No. 13 Texas A&M visits No. 2 Alabama on Saturday, looking for its biggest SEC victory since Johnny Manziel beat the Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa in 2012. No. 7 Auburn goes to No. 4 Georgia on Saturday night as the second month of the season starts, but only the second week of SEC play. The rest of the schedule features a rematch of last season’s Atlantic Coast Conference championship game between Virginia and No. 1 Clemson and a return to action by No. 25

Memphis, which has been sidelined by a COVID-19 outbreak since it opened with a Labor Day weekend victory.

BEST GAME No. 7 Auburn at No. 5 Georgia The rivalry dates to 1892 and it typically gets played in November. Even before the SEC revised its schedule to an all-conference slate to deal with the possibility of pandemic disruptions, the Bulldogs and Tigers were set to play the earliest date they ever have – Oct. 10. The new schedule pushed Auburn-Georgia up another week. The major storyline will be who plays quarterback for the Bulldogs. Georgia’s offense needed a while to get rolling last week at Arkansas, but clicked in the second

half behind former walkon Stetson Bennett. This week, former ﬁvestar recruit and Southern California transfer J.T. Daniels has been medically cleared to play for Georgia. Daniels started as a freshman for the Trojans in 2018 and injured his knee in last season’s opener. Bo Nix and Auburn are trying to build off a solid victory at home last week against Kentucky. Coach Gus Malzahn’s Tigers have lost six of seven, including three straight to coach Kirby Smart and Georgia.

HEISMAN WATCH Kellen Mond, QB, Texas A&M Mond is no Johnny Football, but leading the Aggies past the Tide could be a program-changer for thirdyear coach Jimbo Fisher.

WHAT’S AT STAKE? Missouri is looking for its first victory under first-year coach Eliah Drinkwitz as the Tigers start a two-game road swing. Tennessee has a seven-game winning streak second only to Air Force and Notre Dame, both tied at eight straight, among Football Bowl Subdivision teams. The Vols also are working to erase all memories of last year’s 1-4 start to the season.

KEY MATCHUP Tennessee QB Jarrett Guarantano against Missouri’s defense. Guarantano threw for a career-high 415 yards the last time these teams met, the fourth-most passing yards in school history. The Tigers had nine tackles for loss in their season-opening loss to Alabama, and safety Martez Manuel had a career-best 3 1/2 tackles for loss.

PLAYERS TO WATCH Missouri: QB Shawn Robinson was 19 of 25 (76%) against Alabama, the best completion percentage by a Tigers quarterback in his first start since at least 2000. He sat out last season after transferring from TCU. Tennessee: Senior RB Ty Chandler averaged 6.6 yards per carry against South Carolina, piling up 86 yards on just 13 carries.

FACTS & FIGURES Mizzou is trying to avoid its first 0-2 start since 1996. ... Missouri is 3-1 at Neyland Stadium and leads the overall series 5-3. ... Missouri is 4-4 in its first road game of the season since joining SEC in 2012. ... Drinkwitz went 6-0 in road games last season as head coach of Appalachian State, including wins at North Carolina and South Carolina. ... Tennessee’s lone win in Knoxville in this series was in 2016. ... Fan capacity at Neyland Stadium will be approximately 25%. ... This is the latest home opener for Tennessee since Oct. 20, 1962. ... This game is being played on the date originally scheduled before the SEC switched to a 10-game, league-only slate. ... The Vols have won four straight at home, outscoring opponents 119-48 in that stretch.

woke up a week ago or so, and our house was really cool. The outdoor temp was down to 48, which is pretty cool for Southeast Missouri, where we live. Since we haven’t turned on the heat in the house or cranked up the wood stove, it will be cool inside until the sun heats up the house. I don’t mind. When I dressed that morning, I put on a white T-shirt which I normally wear all summer, but I also put on a flannel shirt over it. I may have had to lose the flannel shirt later on that day. I finished mowing our pastures a week ago, so now can take the bush hog off for the last time until spring. I won’t need it again until next summer.

Everything is doing well, and the tomatoes and zucchini are either blooming or are ready to. Hopefully we’ll be picking some by the end of October. Up to now, we’ve left the ends of the tunnel open at night. We’ll start shutting them up in the evening, which will raise the temp in them during the night and daytime. It should help the zucchini and tomatoes grow a little quicker. We’re still picking okra, peppers and Roma tomatoes.

rest of them. The only thing we might still can is some more pickled okra. We sure enjoy the pickled okra. We try and get it picked when small and tender. Okra gets kind of pulpy if it gets too big. Boy, those okra that are 2 inches long or less are really tender. The last okra Marge pickled I put 1/16 teaspoon of Korean red pepper ﬂakes in each pint jar. I never even warmed up the okra a bit. Marge has been working on our garlic planting spot. We neglected it, so some weeds kind of took over. I need to bring the tiller down and till up the soil. One can really plant the garlic at any time. We always try to pick the largest garlic bulbs and plant them for next year. We break apart the bulbs and plant the cloves about 2 inches deep, no closer than say 6 to 8 inches apart. Once planted, one can put 6 to 8

inches of loose straw on top. The garlic will poke right up through the straw. If you buy some garlic in the store to plant make sure there are some dried up roots on the bottom side. If the root end is bare and kind of caved in, I wouldn’t buy it to plant or even to eat. A lot of the garlic in our grocery stores is from China. I came across an information piece on a yellow tomato, and I thought it sounded interesting. It was called El Dorado. It is an F1 hybrid so one can’t save the seeds. Some of my best tomatoes are off of F1 hybrids. Every year I start a ﬁle called “Garden Seeds for 2021” or whatever the next year is. I try and put together a list of plants I want to try as well as a list of seeds I know I want to plant. Most garden centers will give a discount if you purchase seed in January and even Febru-

ary before the spring rush. Many times some of the best seeds will sell out and won’t be available. Order early. Fall is one of my favorite times of the year. I always look forward to cranking up our wood stove and listening to the fire crackle and smelling the wood fire. Our wood stove has a glass door, so if we turn the lights down we can watch the fire dance around in the stove. Marge and I honestly enjoy cutting some fire wood. We have a semi-permanent wood splitter that we don’t move, so we bring the wood to the splitter. We bought some wood toggles so both of us can lift heavier pieces. Also, a onehand toggle to lift smaller pieces. They sure makes life more enjoyable. Once I figured out how to sharpen the chain saw blade, sawing is a lot less work and more fun.

Cape Girardeau’s riverfront flood protection system was dedicated Oct. 22, 1964. Standing at the podium is Col. James B. Meanor. Behind him are Melvin Wagner, president of the North Main Street Levee District; C.A. Juden, president of the Main Street Levee District, and Mayor W.E. Davis.

From the archive: Cape’s wall a thing of beauty during times of flood Not every new idea or concept gains immediate acceptance. This was certainly true of Cape Girardeau’s ﬂoodwall. On the heels of the crest of the Great Flood of ‘93, staff writer Sam Blackwell took a look at the controversies that greeted the downtown ﬂood-control plan. Published in the Southeast Missourian, Aug. 23, 1993:

Floodwall wasn’t popular at its start

When Col. James Meanor, then district engineer for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers St. Louis office, dedicated the ﬂoodwall in October 1964, a controversy that had dogged Cape Girardeau for 20 years ﬁnally was settled. In question was the best way to protect downtown Cape Girardeau from the increasingly frequent

Mississippi River floods. Everybody seemed to have an opinion and a plan. One, never formally proposed or seriously considered, called for building a folding floodwall that could be laid down during non-flood years. Three plans were proposed and debated until

the Corps finally finished specifications on the floodwall in 1955. It may have held back the mightiest flood in the river’s recorded history this year, but back then support for building the wall was leaky indeed. Some merchants were happy just to be above water, said former Southeast Missourian editor John Blue. Others weren’t. “They thought it would be detrimental to the business life of the community.” Some citizens feared that the most important part of the city’s identity was about to be hidden permanently. Blue recalls that the newspaper did not endorse the plan to build the floodwall. “The coming of the floodwall was not welcomed by a lot of people at Cape Girardeau,” said Meanor, now retired from the Corps and living in St. Louis. “...Some citizens didn’t want the floodwall, they See MORGUE, Page 6C

on’t criticize the young — they are the future of the community; don’t criticize the old — they are its heritage.” Thus, believed Leo “Lee” Albert, as written in his “Memories of Cape Girardeau and Old Man River.” He died two weeks after completing his manuscript. The Albert family, beginning with John and Mary, immigrated from France in 1828. Their son, Sebastian, father of Lee, lived in Kentucky. Following the parents’ deaths, Sebastian and brother John relocated to Jackson to engage in merchandising before settling at Cape Girardeau and establishing “Albert and Bro.” at Water and Themis. Their store handled groceries, farm implements and barrels of commodities, such as salt and grains. They were agents for the packet boats and sold supplies to steamboats for their journeys. They were paid a commission by the boats for the freight they collected from farmers and others customers. When livestock was shipped, they made out bills of lading, collecting 5 to 6 cents per head. In 1865 Sebastian married Rosalee Miles. The Albert family lived in a rambling, 14-room house with winding stairway to the third ﬂoor at 1107 Broadway, which included a barn for their cows, horses and

The couple’s seven children included three sons, Walter, Irvin and Lee. In 1890, Sebastian bought out his brother John, incorporated, and changed the name of the business to S. Albert. Besides the commission business, Sebastian was a partner in the Cape Foundry with Louis Klostermann. He also owned interest in the Cape Lime and Marble Co. Sebastian, known as “Bass,” died Nov. 30, 1895. He and his wife are buried in Old Lorimier Cemetery. At some time or other, all the brothers were involved in the Water and Themis

Street business and were official river observers for the U.S. Weather Bureau beginning in 1880. In 1900, Lee inherited the job of posting the river stages two times a day. His last reading was in 1965. Lee Albert grew up on the river. As a child he spent many hours at his father’s wholesale grocery commission business, becoming a lover of all kinds of people who darkened their door. It was Lee’s parents’ dream for him to become a priest, sending him off to the Albany Seminary at age 17. Shortly, Lee sold all his new clothes to his roommates and bought a train ticket back home. He enrolled at St. Vincent College and the Normal School before going into a number of business ventures, before settling into the family one. Lee married Suzannah Giboney in 1915. They had one daughter, Virginia Lee Margraf, and granddaughter, Suzie, the apple of his eye. In May 1959, the grocery buildings were razed for the Cape Federal Savings and Loan parking lot. Lee passed away Sept. 27, 1972. I’m sorry I never had the pleasure of knowing Lee L. Albert. He was a student of the Mississippi River, lover of Cape Girardeau, its history and its variety of people.

Unusual berry clusters S

everal years ago when I ﬁrst saw this plant with its brilliant clusters of purple berries, it amazed me. Every few inches up and down each branch are eye-catching berries. The wavy green leaves complement and brighten the scene even more.

This native plant is called American beautyberry. It is a shrub that puts out several limbs or stalks. The ﬂowers are white or light pink and not particularly showy. The American beautyberry generally doesn’t grow more than 5 feet tall, but can

grow a few feet taller. The branches droop with their heavy load of berry clusters. Birds such as cardinals and robins like the berries as a winter treat. You may want to try one of these bushes at the corner of your yard.

4-H clubs create cookbook SUBMITTED BY MARSHA BIRK Despite the social distancing of the last few months, Cape Girardeau County 4-H has found a way to come together. Current 4-H members, friends and family have compiled over 450 recipes — everything you need from appetizers to desserts — into one book. “The unique thing about this book is that it’s not necessarily recipes you’ll find on Pinterest. These are local recipes, special recipes — someone’s grandma or aunt’s recipe passed along and now shared,” says Blair Huckstep, Fruitland 4-H Community club leader and member of the cookbook committee. Each recipe includes the contributor’s name and a listing of those names in the back makes it easy to find your favorite 4-H’ers recipe. Cookbooks can be pre-ordered now until Oct. 15 for $15 each and will be available for Christmas gift giving. Books can be pre-ordered from any 4-H youth or at the University of Missouri Extension office at (573) 243-3581.

“Over 450 recipes have been contributed to this cookbook by current and past Cape Girardeau County 4-H youth and adults,” said Amy Kirchdoerfer, an adult volunteer with the Young Americans 4-H Club. “As a member of the cookbook committee, I’ve seen many of the recipes that have been submitted. These recipes are good, practical and easy to make. I collect cookbooks so I’m excited not only to purchase one for myself, but for family and friends as well. The purchase of this cookbook is a great way to support a good local community group.” Proceeds from the cookbook will support the county’s 4-H program. The new 4-H year began enrollment Thursday. 4-H is open to all youth 8 to 18 years old with a program for those 5 to 7 years old called Clover Kids. The program offers a variety of project areas to explore. If interested in learning more about 4-H, visit extension2.missouri.edu/ programs/missouri-4-h or Facebook at MUExtensionCape.

Local nursing community receives award SUBMITTED BY BOB VORNBROCK

Chaffee Nursing Center skilled nursing by Americare recently received an award for resident service during the company’s virtual awards ceremony. Chaffee Nursing Center was selected from Americare’s 23 skilled nursing communities to receive the award based on exemplary quality in the area of resident service. The recognition is one of four philosophy awards which reﬂect the four pri-

orities of the company: service to residents, service to the employees, service to the community and ﬁscal responsibility. According to Gail Heisserer, administrator of Chaffee Nursing Center, the award belongs to the entire team at the community. “We’re so proud to be recognized in this way,” Heisserer said. “Americare is a top-notch organization with high standards in every area. We were com-

pared to many other excellent communities and came out on top. That means a lot.” The community was evaluated using very speciﬁc criteria including state survey results, resident/ family survey results and other quality indicators. Awards are given annually each Spring and reﬂect a community’s performance during the prior 12 months. “The company considers a nomination in any one

category quite an achievement,” commented Americare President Clay Crosson. “The community that actually wins the award is simply the best of the best and truly reﬂects quality that has made Americare a trusted name in eldercare services,” he adds. Located at 12273 State Hwy. 77, Chaffee, Missouri, the center is a 71-bed skilled nursing community licensed by the State of Missouri.

A debate worth our time O

n Tuesday, tens of millions of Americans watched a debate between the two major party political candidates who want to serve as president for the next four years: President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden. There has been as much talk about how they talked to one another — interruptions, name-calling, talking over one another — as there has been about the substance of their respective positions. To be fair, the buzz on social media has been more about the tenor of the debate than about what each man actually said about how to lead the country. As I watched, my mind went to where it often goes: to the experience of Jesus during his earthly life. There were no podiums to stand behind and no moderator to try to keep order in ﬁrst century C.E. Judea. But the Master had a number of impactful and often tense talks with others. Jesus was continually challenged throughout his earthly ministry, leading to what could be construed as “debates” with his would-be opponents. Interestingly, Jesus

but the reference was in fact intended to brace and upbraid the adversary.) Mainly, Jesus’ “debates” were effectively high-level conversations. In this time of intense political theatre in America, with 30 days to go before Election Day, it might be helpful to consider how Jesus talked to his opponents. In Matthew 12, we read Jesus healed a man with a withered hand on the Sabbath day when the Law of Moses forbade any work. We know this as the fourth of the ten commandments. Technically, in the minds of the Pharisees, even though Jesus’ act was compassionate, the healing was considered work and therefore in their thinking, unlawful. Challenged for this infraction, the debate ensued between the two parties. Using logic, Jesus countered his opponents by offering a comparison which took the form of a question. “Which of you, if your sheep fell into a pit on the Sabbath, would not lift it out? “If, then, it is lawful to relieve the misery of a sheep on the Sabbath, how much

was not above using derogatory references to opponents. The other night, we heard words such as “liar” and “clown.” Two millennia ago, Jesus used words such as “hypocrites,” “brood of vipers” and “whitewashed tombs.” (Matthew ch. 23) (I understand the last term doesn’t make a lot of sense in the 21st century,

more it is lawful to receive the misery of a fellow human being who is more valuable than a sheep?” If this conversation had been a cross-examination debate, the form used by most U.S. high schools, you have to award the points to Jesus. Let’s look at another “debate.” In Luke 20, Jesus is teaching in the temple in Jerusalem and he is approached by the chief priests, scribes and elders – in other words, by the Jewish establishment - and is asked the question: “By what authority are you doing these things?” Instead of a direct reply, Jesus deﬂects by turning the tables and asking his interrogators: “Did the baptism of John (the Baptist) come from heaven or was it of human origin?” After some private discussion among themselves, the establishment’s answer was they didn’t know. Because his opponents were not able to give answer, Jesus similarly declined to answer them. Don’t know if you award points here but if you do, at least some go to Jesus for his ability to elude a trap and turn the tables on those who

wished to diminish him. The New Testament “debate” that came to mind most vividly as Trump and Biden engaged Tuesday in what former Missouri Lt. Governor Peter Kinder described to me later as “a donnybrook,” is the calm back-and-forth in John 18 between Jesus and Pontius Pilate, the provincial governor of Judea. Pilate literally held Jesus’ earthly fate in his hands as Rome ceded all power of life and death to those who ran the provinces. “Are you the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked. “Did you ask this on your own, or did others tell you about me?” Jesus replied. This is verbal fencing. Pilate gets down to brass tacks next. Aware of the desire of Caiaphas and other members of the Jewish leadership to be rid of this nettlesome itinerant carpenter, the governor ramps up the tete-a-tete. “What have you done?” Pilate asks. “My kingdom is not of this world — for if it were of this world, my followers would be ﬁghting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews.

“But as it is, my kingdom is not from here.” “So, you are a king, then?” Pilate queries. “You say so,” Jesus answers and jumps ahead to the heart of the matter. “For this I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. “Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.” Pilate asks him simply, “What is truth?” The question goes unanswered by Jesus — or, at least, John doesn’t tell the reader what the Master said. What we know is Pilate is impressed by Jesus’ debate performance, telling the crowd, “I ﬁnd no case against him.” You know how it all turns out, of course, but don’t miss the top-notch level of discourse. Two men actually listening to one another and responding to what the other has said. What a concept! I give points to both men here. We can only hope and pray Messrs. Trump and Biden move closer to this ideal during the two presidential debates remaining between now and Nov. 3.

Phillips From Page 1C blade, sawing is a lot less work and more fun. I’ve always enjoyed hunting in the fall. Deer season rolls around in November, so I pretty much take off a week or two. It’s OK if I get a deer and OK if I don’t. I enjoy the going. Fall is also a great time to drown some minnows and worms. As the water cools down the

fish kind of firm up and taste a whole lot better. There isn’t much that tastes better than a mess of bluegill out of a cold lake. Fall is also a great time to gather some wood and build a fire to just sit around and enjoy. Maybe even burn some hot dogs or polish sausages over. After the fire dies down, maybe melt a marshmallow over it as well. We’ve had so many mosquitoes this summer, being out after dark hasn’t been fun. Cold nights will take care of them.

Cold nights and days brings on soups of all kinds. Chili sounds a lot better when it’s cold out. Tater soup sounds good as well. Maybe even a batch of cabbage soup. Oh, yeah, a batch or two of salmon soup. Growing up, Mom would take a big box of powdered milk, a can of chocolate, some powdered creamer, and it seems like some powdered sugar, and make a hot chocolate mix. Tasted good back then. Coffee sounds better now. Enjoy the fall!

History/faith The questions given for the Local Trivia are taken from the previous week's "Out of the Past" column that runs daily on the Records page.

Oct. 4-10 HISTORY AROUND THE WORLD AND AT HOME Oct. 4: 1957, the Space Age began as the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite, into orbit. 1965, Pope Paul VI, making the first-ever papal visit to the Western Hemisphere, addressed the U.N. General Assembly, where he urged delegates to adopt as their solemn oath: “No more war, war never again.” 2002, “American Taliban” John Walker Lindh received a 20-year sentence after a sobbing plea for forgiveness before a federal judge in Alexandria, Virginia. He was released from prison in May, 2019. In a federal court in Boston, a laughing Richard Reid pleaded guilty to trying to blow up a trans-Atlantic flight with explosives in his shoes (the British citizen was later sentenced to life in prison).

Oct. 5: 1892, the Dalton Gang, notorious for its train robberies, was practically wiped out while attempting to rob a pair of banks in Coffeyville, Kansas. 1947, President Harry S. Truman delivered the ﬁrst televised White House address as he spoke on the world food crisis. 2005, defying the White House, senators voted 90-9 to approve an amendment sponsored by Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., that would prohibit the use of “cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment” against anyone in U.S. government custody. (A reluctant President George W. Bush later signed off on the amendment.)

Oct. 6: 1927, the era of talking pictures arrived with the opening of “The Jazz Singer” starring Al Jolson, a feature containing both silent and sound-synchronized sequences. 1939, in a speech to the Reichstag, German Chancellor Adolf Hitler spoke of his plans to reorder the ethnic layout of Europe — a plan which would entail settling the “Jewish problem.” 1973, war erupted in the Middle East as Egypt and Syria launched a surprise attack on Israel during the Yom Kippur holiday. (Israel, initially caught off guard, managed to push back the Arab forces before a cease-fire finally took hold in the nearly three-week conflict.)

Oct. 7: 1916, in the most lopsided victory in college football history, Georgia Tech defeated Cumberland University 222-0 in Atlanta. 1985, Palestinian gunmen hijacked the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro in the Mediterranean. (The hijackers shot and killed Leon Klinghoffer, a Jewish-American tourist in a wheelchair, and pushed him overboard, before surrendering on Oct. 9.) 1998, Matthew Shepard, a gay college student, was beaten and left tied to a wooden fencepost outside of Laramie, Wyoming; he died ﬁve days later. (Russell Henderson and Aaron McKinney are serving life sentences for Shepard’s murder.)

Oct. 8: 1871, the Great Chicago Fire erupted; ﬁres also broke out in Peshtigo, Wisconsin, and in several communities in Michigan. 1945, President Harry S. Truman told a press conference in Tiptonville, Tennessee, that the secret scientiﬁc knowledge behind the atomic bomb would be shared only with Britain and Canada. 1998, the House triggered an open-ended impeachment inquiry against President Bill Clinton in a momentous 258-176 vote; 31 Democrats joined majority Republicans in opening the way for nationally televised impeachment hearings.

Oct. 9: 1888, the public was ﬁrst admitted to the Washington Monument. 1967, Marxist revolutionary guerrilla leader Che Guevara, 39, was summarily executed by the Bolivian army a day after his capture. 2001, in the ﬁrst daylight raids since the start of U.S.led attacks on Afghanistan, jets bombed the Taliban stronghold of Kandahar.

Oct. 10: 1845, the U.S. Naval Academy was established in Annapolis, Maryland. 1913, the Panama Canal was effectively completed as President Woodrow Wilson sent a signal from the White House by telegraph, setting off explosives that destroyed a section of the Gamboa dike. 1985, U.S. ﬁghter jets forced an Egyptian plane carrying the hijackers of the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro to land in Italy, where the gunmen were taken into custody. — Associated Press

‘QUIT’ with a purpose O

ne Sunday morning, early in my ministry, I overheard a few of the church workers discussing the possibility of quitting their positions. The conversation centered around being tired, and it being someone else’s turn to serve. I was panicked because the ministry of a local church takes many volunteers — the pastor cannot do it alone. All great churches, like any high-performing organization, has multiple people serving in various capacities. Without their support, failure is imminent. I scrambled to my office and put together a message to deliver within the hour. The word that stood out to me was, “Quit.” I decided to make an acrostic out of that word to communicate some actions we can take that are a better alternative to quitting. While I originally intended this message for local church workers, I believe it applies to many areas of life. If you feel like giving up, consider the steps in the outline. First, the letter “Q” stands for “Quiet time.” What I mean by that is to spend time alone in contemplation. For Christians, we pray, read the Bible, write in

nings of fall colors. God’s beauty is too awesome to describe. Trees grew over the one-lane roads on which we rode. They bent and bowed to each other as we made our way underneath their branches. As we traveled along, we chose to stop and walk to a beautiful overlook that viewed the Mississippi river. A darling little bridge stretched across the path we were taking. Looking down below was scary, but also a sight to behold. One person, accompanying us, remarked that it felt like

we were up in the trees. All our spirits were lifted. If anyone was experiencing a hardship within, it disappeared during that afternoon drive. We, indeed, embraced the reality of what was happening then. Isn’t that all we’re called upon to do — to live within the moment? “When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider this: God has made the one as well as the other. ‘Therefore, no one can discover anything about their future” (Ecclesiastes 7:14). Nothing is certain in life, so we must choose and remember to be thankful for the good times and bad. Living in the moment and embracing what is, is much easier and joy-ﬁlled than worrying about what may never happen. It gives me peace to relax into the moment and absorb reality. I allow myself to experience the unknown and feel the wonder of the wind blowing through the trees. We can know and be grateful that we’re alive, that we can see and feel what’s around us. Our mind and heart can make sense of our lives — ask from what are we trying to escape? Attempting to run away makes the situation worse. Meeting challenges head-

on is the way to solve that problem, of which we’re trying so hard to avoid. My mom and dad stressed, to me and my siblings, that if we told a lie, we would always get caught. “Then,” they said, “You have to tell another lie to get out of the ﬁrst one.” As we all know, that scenario is absolutely correct When we avoid the tough things in life, we must eventually deal with them, so why waste the time and energy beforehand, on something you have to deal with, someday? Coping with the reality of any situation is much better than merely saying, “Everything will be OK,” and, then, doing nothing to make them better. This method of coping with challenges is dangerous and it keeps us from enjoying what is real now. Regardless of what difficulties we face, we must stay strong and face, particularly, our emotions and insights. Allow them to permeate our bodies so that we feel them, for a time — then do what we can to solve the challenge. Avoidance is not the answer because every problem has a solution. Embrace the reality of where you are now and rejoice in it.

merchants and property owners. It called for building a concrete seawall from Cape Rock to the railroad freight depot formerly located on Main Street near Merriwether, and filling the adjacent property with sand up to the levee level. “Buildings on Water Street to Independence would have to be filled with sand up to the second floor,” according to an August 1951 edition of the Southeast Missourian. “The second floors would then become the ground floors.” “...The concrete wall would be built high enough to cope with the highest possible flood and through

a journal, maybe even skip a meal to focus on prayer, aka fasting. Many of us cannot sit still and think. We must have the television turned on; we look down at our smart phones as we pass time until the next activity comes along. Psalm 46:10 tells us, “Be still, and know that I am God ...” We need to calm down, get quiet, and reﬂect on our faith that God is in control, and things will get better. The letter “U” stands for “Unite.” While we need time alone with God, we also need other people. Sup-

Embracing reality hat is your reality? Is it a state of being from which you feel you must run away? Must you try to avoid what’s in front of you or was contained within your past? Do you cover your present circumstances with fake and false dreams, or do you accept and embrace every day, immersing your whole being into what actually going on — learning to cope rather than play make-believe? My husband and I participated in another one of our regular fall drives recently, with another couple. Fall is my favorite time of the year. Although, I’m relatively sure that everyone in our group was privy to things of which we would rather forget, we grabbed the opportunity to enjoy the present—the beautiful sights, as we drove along. I can only speak for myself because one never knows what’s genuinely going on inside another, but I choose to not worry because I believe my higher power, God, is in charge. I chose to savor the moment and taste the present reality of beauty that surrounded me. We drove up and down hills and around curves strewn with the begin-

capable leaders, and invite them to be trained to handle cases, leaving the most difficult ones for Moses. This way, Moses did not wear himself out and this also benefited the people (Exodus 18). Are you wearing yourself out doing things alone when others would be happy to help? The fourth and final letter in the word “Quit” is “T,” which is for “Trust in God.” If you are like me, there are some days where I am dissatisfied with my performance. Yes, preachers are aware that some of our sermons are boring. It is a rare gift to be able to perform with excellence each time you do a task. However, there have been times when someone would tell me that my message was life-changing, even though I felt like I had failed to communicate well. In those times I am reminded that I can trust God with the results if I am willing to put in the effort. Sometimes we want to quit because we focus on our shortcomings instead of God’s sufficiency. Remember to have a daily quiet time with the Lord, unite with others who are like-minded, invite others to help, and trust God with everything.

port groups may come to mind. As workers in a local church, we must remind ourselves that we are part of a community of faith. You are a vital part of the team. 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 is a description of the church as being like a human body. It has many parts, feet, hands, ears, eyes, etc., but it is one body. Each person who serves in an organizational setting has different roles and all are important. We all need to be part of something bigger than ourselves. Do you attend a local church? Third is the letter “I.” It stands for “Invite.” By this I mean that if we are struggling to accomplish a task, invite others to join us in the effort. While it may be difficult to ask for help, including others can help you, it can help them to develop skills, and it can result in greater ministry or productivity. When we get tired, it is good to have people around us to help us. In the Old Testament, we read of Moses who was spending a great deal of his time judging the disputes of all the people. His fatherin-law Jethro saw what was happening and offered advice. He told Moses to delegate his responsibilities to others. He was to look for

With the first planning for a flood control project dating all the way back to 1927, three schemes eventually emerged in the early 1940s. The Erlbacher Plan was favored by most downtown

Both the flu the novel coronavirus that and COVID-19 can lead to causes COVID-19, it will pneumonia, hospitalization add an important measure and even death. During last

year’s flu season, 490,600 people were hospitalized, and 34,200 people died. And even when it’s not life-threatening, the flu guarantees a week or two of misery. As we said earlier, a flu shot won’t protect against the novel coronavirus. However, it does reduce the risk of becoming infected with the influenza virus. Some people do get the flu despite having had the vaccine. However, they often have milder symptoms and shorter illnesses than those who go unvaccinated. And this year, with the spread of COVID-19 not yet under control, it’s important to do everything we can to make sure medical resources

are available for those who are the most seriously ill. It’s quite possible we’ll see another surge of COVID-19 this winter. With health care workers and facilities already overburdened, we should do everything we can to lessen the strain. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that everyone 6 months of age and older be vaccinated against the ﬂu each year. Inactivated inﬂuenza vaccines are approved for children as young as 6 months. That’s important because children under the age of 5, and particularly those younger than 2, are at high risk of developing serious complications when they become ill with

the flu. That includes ear infections, dehydration and pneumonia. Your child’s health care provider will advise you on the appropriate vaccine for your child. Most people get a standard flu shot. Adults 65 years and older, whose immune systems have slowed down, are urged to get the high-dose vaccine formulated specifically for senior citizens. For people with an egg allergy, there is an egg-free version of the flu vaccine that may be appropriate. The good news is that flu shots are already widely available. They’re free with most types of insurance and are often available at discounted rates at flu shot

clinics. Free flu shots are also available through community organizations and public health departments. For flu shot locations in your area, visit vaccinefinder.org.

DEAR ABBY

Parent repeatedly kicks kids out then begs them to return Dear Abby: When I was in my teens, I was kicked out of the house multiple times by my parent. EANNE Mind you, I HILLIPS hadn’t done anything wrong. To this day, I’m still trying to ﬁgure out what I did to deserve it because it happened so many times. My parent would get mad, tell me to leave and then beg me to come back home — all within a three-day time span. Luckily, other family members took me in when these episodes occurred. The same thing is now happening to my younger siblings, and it pains me to see them go through what I did. I try to defend and protect them. Our parent has never been verbally or physically abusive. It is just the kicking out that throws us off.

I’ve mentioned counseling to my parent, but it’s not an option. I love my parent, and I forgave. But I can’t speak for my siblings. Discarded in South Carolina Dear Discarded: If a child is a minor, what your parent has been doing is considered child abandonment. IT IS AGAINST THE LAW. Although you have been able to forgive your parent for their abuse (that’s what it was), your younger siblings may not be so generous. Because you are their self-appointed defender, you may have to assume responsibility for them until they become independent — either by taking them in yourself or by arranging for other relatives to do it for longer than three days. It goes without saying that your parent’s behavior is irresponsible and erratic. If a neighbor or an administrator of your siblings’ school should get wind of this, they would be required by law to report it to the authorities. Counseling is available

in many communities on a sliding ﬁnancial scale. Perhaps if your parent is reminded that there are penalties for what has been going on, they will seek the help they need. Dear Abby: My 14-yearold son, “Jeff,” received word that one of his friends was killed in a tragic ATV accident a week ago. His only experience with death before this was a sick great-grandparent we were able to say goodbye to. Jeff and I are close, and I have let him know that however he needs to grieve is OK. He says he’s “good.” I am concerned that my son is taking the loss harder than he lets on. Jeff and his friend loved team sports and were in the same group for summer workouts. Jeff has been to only one workout since his friend’s death. I know this is recent and he needs time, but I also know the physical activity and the camaraderie

would be good for him. I’m trying not to smother him or project my own grief onto him (we are a tight sports community), but I’m unsure what to do. Can you offer some advice on how I can best support him? Grieving, Too in Oregon Dear Grieving, Too: When a tragedy happens to someone in a teenager’s circle, the friends sometimes pull together to support each other. Contact the coach of the team to which your son and his late friend belonged. The surviving team members may need help and possibly grief counseling. If that isn’t necessary, the coach may be able to offer the boys other constructive outlets for their grief or provide you with suggestions.

REAL ESTATE NOTEBOOK

How to prepare for house-hunting Southeast Missouri REALTORS® Know that there’s no “right” time to buy. If you find the perfect home now, don’t risk losing it because you’re trying to guess where the housing market and interest rates are going. Those factors usually don’t change fast enough to make a difference in an individual home’s price. Don’t ask for too many opinions. It’s natural to want reassurance for such a big decision, but too many ideas from too many people will make it much harder to make a decision. Focus on the wants and needs of the people who will actually be living in the home. Accept that no house is ever perfect. If it’s in the right location, the yard

may be a bit smaller than you had hoped. The kitchen may be perfect, but the roof needs repair. Make a list of your top priorities and focus in on things that are most important to you. Let the minor ones go. Also, accept that a little buyer’s remorse is inevitable and will most likely pass. Don’t try to be a killer negotiator. Negotiation is definitely a part of the real estate process, but trying to “win” by getting an extra-low price or refusing to budge may cost you the home you love. Remember your home doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Don’t get so caught up in the physical aspects of the house itself that you forget about important issues such as noise level, access to amenities, and other aspects that also have a big impact on your quality of life.

Plan ahead. Don’t wait until you’ve found a home to get approved for a mortgage, investigate insurance, or consider a moving schedule. Being prepared will make your bid more attractive to sellers. Choose a home first because you love it; then think about appreciation. A home is still considered a great investment, but its most important role is as a comfortable, safe place to live. For more information, visit the Southeast Missouri REALTORS® website, www.semorealtors.org. Realtors® not only help make the dream of homeownership a reality, they also help build better communities. Southeast Missouri REALTORS® is a non-profit organization that serves more than 425 REALTORS® and affiliates and we are the local voice of

DO YOUR PART Planting a tree is one of the best things you can do to help the planet BY LEE REICH

ASSOCIATED PRESS

With spring planting, there’s a danger that stems can start to grow before the roots are established in the ground. Fall planting helps avoid that. Stems can’t grow until they have experienced a winter’s worth of cold. Roots, on the other hand, grow whenever the soil temperature is above about 40 degrees, so they can still make use of summer’s lingering heat in the ground.

Planting a tree is one of the best things you can do to help the planet, and these days it’s gotten easier. There’s a better understanding now of what trees need, including when they should generally be planted (the fall). Why plant trees? It’s wellknown that trees mitigate global warming by taking in and storing carbon dioxide. Their shade can cool things down in summer. As windbreaks, they can slow heat loss. Their beauty and delicious fruits and nuts are other perks. Experts used to recommend planting trees in spring. But that’s changed for most species. With spring planting, there’s a danger that stems can start to grow before the roots are established in the ground. Fall planting helps avoid that. Stems can’t grow until they have experienced a winter’s worth of cold. Roots, on the other hand, grow whenever the soil temperature is above about 40 degrees, so they can still make use of summer’s lingering heat in the ground.

a mound is needed for improved drainage. The shallow hole sets plants on a ﬁrm base of undisturbed soil that won’t settle with time. The practice of dumping gravel or some other coarse material into the bottom of the planting hole to help drain away excess water is another dated notion. What results is the opposite of what was intended. A “perched” water table forms above the layer of gravel; it doesn’t drain until the upper layer becomes saturated. Yet another myth that can be laid to rest is the recommendation to mix plenty of compost or other organic materials into the soil from the planting hole. The idea was to create a ﬂuffy, rich substrate for the developing roots. But if you were a young root growing in such a place, would you ever want to leave? No. Spread compost and other organic materials on top of the ground as mulch.

Best planting techniques are also easiest Smaller nursery trees establish more quickly in their new homes than larger ones, and usually outgrow them. But you don’t need to dig as deep as conventional wisdom has held. New research shows that tree roots take hold best in a cone-shaped planting hole only 2 to 3 times the diameter of the root ball, and no deeper than necessary to stand the plant at the same level as it stood at the nursery. Or higher, if

Pruning? Staking? No need to do a lot of work with your pruning tools either. Myth held that the tops of newly planted trees needed pruning to balance the loss of roots that occurred during transplanting. But many trees today are sold growing in containers,

so they lose no roots at transplanting. More important is that for every kind of nursery tree, the buds on stems, especially those near the tips, produce hormones that actually stimulate root growth. In general, limit any pruning to total removal of a few stems rather than lopping back many stems. Once a tree is in the ground, staking is the traditional next order of business -- another practice needing reconsideration. Generally, don’t stake a tree unless it can’t support itself, if trunk movement causes the root ball to rock, or if wind might uproot the whole plant. Even then, support for any young tree should let the top move freely and allow for some wiggle of the trunk, all without causing abrasion where the tie or ties make contact. The sooner the stake or stakes are removed, the sooner the plant can develop a strong trunk and root system. With most small trees, remove stakes after one year; larger trees might require stakes left in place for two years. Watching year-to-year growth of a relatively small, young tree is satisfying. Before you know it, the tree will appear as a bold, beautiful and useful addition to the landscape.

Biden wins Record number of ballots cast Tuesday in Cape County Mich., Wis., now on brink of White House BY JONATHAN LEMIRE, ZEKE MILLER, JILL COLVIN AND ALEXANDRA JAFFE

ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Joe Biden won the battleground prizes of Michigan and Wisconsin on Wednesday, reclaiming a key part of the “blue wall” that slipped away from Democrats four years ago and dramatically narrowing President Donald Trump’s pathway to reelection. A full day after Election Day, neither candidate had cleared the 270 Electoral Col-

lege votes needed to win the White House. But Biden’s victories in the Great Lakes states left him at 264, meaning he was one battleground state away from crossing the threshold and becoming president-elect. Biden, who has received more than 71 million votes, the most in history, was joined by his running mate Kamala Harris at an afternoon news conference and said he now expected to win the presidency, though he stopped short of outright declaring victory.

A voter enters the Arena Building on Election Day, Tuesday, in Cape Girardeau. BY JAY WOLZ

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN More voters than ever cast ballots Tuesday in Cape Girardeau County, but aside from some initial lines when polling places opened, most voting precincts reported steady, but not overwhelming, voter turnout. “It was like Black Fri-

day when we opened the doors,” according to Maddie Hoffman, who served as an election judge at Good Shepherd Lutheran Chapel on West Cape Rock Drive in the City of Cape Girardeau, where 100 voters cast ballots between 6 and 6:30 a.m. Tuesday. Cape Girardeau County Clerk Kara Clark Summers said the scene was

similar at most, if not all, of the county’s 36 precincts. “At 6 a.m., people were in line everywhere and I was a little anxious,” she said. “But our election judges worked very diligently to get those people through the line quickly and efficiently. After that, it was just steady all day long at most of the polling places.”

Spot checks by the Southeast Missourian at several Cape Girardeau polling places Tuesday found no waiting at most precincts with voter totals hovering between 500 and 600 by midmorning, equaling a fullday’s turnout at many of those precincts in a typical election.

The Carnival Pride cruise ship arrives at PortMiami, Tuesday, April 7, 2020, in Miami. A cruise ship industry group says on Tuesday, Nov. 3, its members are extending the suspension of U.S. sailing operations through the end of the year, just days after the U.S. government effectively lifted its no-sail order despite a global spike in coronavirus infections. Cruise Lines International Association said its members will use the rest of the year to implement measures to address COVID-19 safety.

Cruise industry throws in the towel on 2020, looks to 2021 BY MATT OTT

ASSOCIATED PRESS SILVER SPRING, Md. — The cruise industry has jettisoned hopes of restarting operations this year. Days after both Carnival and Norwegian extended a halt on cruises through the end of the year, the group that represents cruise lines with 95% of global ocean-going capacity said Tuesday that its members have agreed to extend the suspension of U.S. sailing operations for the rest of 2020. The announcement comes just days after the U.S. government effectively lifted its no-sail order despite a global spike in coronavirus infections. Cruise Lines International Association — which includes cruise giants Princess, Carnival, and Royal Caribbean — said that its members have voluntarily

opted to maintain the current suspension of cruise operations in the U.S. through the end of the year. Members “will use the remainder of the year to prepare for the implementation of extensive measures to address COVID-19 safety” with the guidance of public health experts and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the association said. On Friday, federal health officials issued new rules that will enable large cruise ships to start sailing again in U.S. waters, though not immediately. Among the CDC’s requirements is that ship owners must test all passengers and crew at the start and end of all voyages, which are limited to seven days. In mid-March, the CDC ordered cruise ships to stop sailing to U.S. ports after several outbreaks

convinced officials that the vessels were potential cauldrons of infection. After being renewed several times the most recent order expired in October, with the new guidelines effectively bringing the no-sail order to an end. The cruise industry has been essentially closed for business since mid-March, when it became clear that the deadly and contagious virus had already been sweeping through the U.S. unabated for weeks. The cruise association estimates that the suspension of cruises snuffed out more than $25 billion in economic activity, and 164,000 American jobs. Shares in the major cruise line companies started to decline in February as the virus spread, and hit bottom in midMarch when the U.S. economy effectively shut down.

Companies have suffered billions in losses this year, wiping out more than 70% of their value. The CDC’s guidelines from last week say that in order to resume carrying passengers, the companies have to demonstrate they have procedures for testing, quarantining and isolating passengers and crew. They will have to build test labs on all ships, and make their own arrangements to isolate or quarantine passengers on shore if needed. Before being allowed to sail, they will have to conduct mock voyages with volunteers playing passengers who get sick, the CDC said. The new guidelines come as coronavirus cases surge in the U.S. and around the world with colder weather arriving and more people clustering together indoors.

Jackpot! Expansion of gambling in the U.S. wins big at polls in 2020 BY WAYNE PARRY

ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — The U.S. gambling industry won big at the polls Tuesday, with three states authorizing legal sports betting and three others either approving or expanding casino gambling. Maryland, South Dakota and Louisiana approved sports betting. That sets up a situation in which by the end of next year more than half the country could have legal sports betting, less than three years after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling cleared the way for all 50 states to adopt it if they chose. Virginia approved casino gambling in four locations, Nebraska authorized adding casino games at its horse racing tracks, and Colorado expanded the number and type of casino games it can offer, along with eliminating some wagering limits. “It appears that Americans are becoming increasingly comfortable with legalized gambling,” said David Schwartz, a gambling historian with the University of Nevada Las Vegas. “The addition of casinos in Virginia and racetrack casinos in Nebraska indicates

The U.S. gambling industry was a big winner at the polls Tuesday, with three states authorizing sports betting and three others either authorizing or expanding casino gambling. Maryland, South Dakota and Louisiana approved sports betting. that casino-style gambling is on the upswing as well. We have reached a point where voters seem satisﬁed that legalizing gambling will offer positive returns for their state.” The American Gaming Association, the casino industry’s main trade group, hailed the expansion votes. “As a result of successful ballot measures in six gaming states, more Americans

will have access to much needed job opportunities, dedicated tax revenue, and safe, regulated entertainment options closer to home,” said Bill Miller, the organization’s CEO. By the end of 2021, at least 25 states and the District of Columbia could have legal sports betting in place. Voters in four Virginia cities – Bristol, Danville, Portsmouth and Norfolk –

approved ballot measures authorizing casinos. Caesars Entertainment released a statement thanking voters for approving the Danville proposal. “We look forward to fulﬁlling the trust the voters have placed in us by bringing 1,300 good-paying jobs, tourism dollars and economic development to the city, and we are incredibly excited to begin construction,” CEO Tom Reeg said. In South Dakota, the ballot question allows the Deadwood casinos to add in-person sports betting. For now, mobile sports betting, the largest and fastest-growing part of the industry, would not be permitted. Sports betting will become legal in Louisiana parishes that approved the measure; over three-quarters appeared to have done so. Nebraska allowed casino games at racetracks in Omaha, Lincoln, Grand Island, Columbus and South Sioux City. In Colorado, casinos in Central City, Black Hawk and Cripple Creek can do away with limits that restricted maximum bets to $100. They also will be able to offer new games including baccarat, keno, and a spinning wheel.

David Seabaugh

MARBLE HILL, Mo. — David Christian Seabaugh, 79, of Marble Hill died Sunday, Nov. 1, 2020, at Saint Francis Medical Center in Cape Girardeau. Born Aug. 4, 1941, he was the son of Raymond Lee and Lucille Conrad Seabaugh.

Misty Ziegler Misty Jo Ziegler, 46, of Cape Girardeau died Saturday, Oct. 31, 2020, from complications after brain surgery at Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis. She was born April 25, 1974, in Cape Misty Girardeau to Ralph Ziegler and Janet Enderle Ziegler. Misty was a licensed clinical social worker with United Health Group. She was also a member of the Iowa City (Iowa) Women of Moose Chapter 509. She was a loving and compassionate person who loved to be silly and sometimes sarcastic. The relationship with her brother, Travis, was like no other.

POLICE CAPE GIRARDEAU Cape Girardeau Police Department released the following items. Thefts Larceny was reported in the 100 block of Siemers Drive. Theft was reported in the 400 block of Siemers Drive. Larceny was reported in the 600 block of South Spring Avenue. Assault was reported at Ranney Avenue and Walnut Street. Miscellaneous Drug violation was reported in the 2000 block of South Sprigg Street. Drug violation was reported in the 800 block of Rush H.

Missouri’s three-day deer season ended Saturday afternoon, with Cape Girardeau hunters — Jack L. Sheets, Frank Stoffregen, Fred Campbell, Lester Crites and Jake Lewis — making five of the kills. The Cape Girardeau City Council passes two ordinances of far-reaching effect; the first ordinance sets up a special district in the proposed downtown flood-control area; it provides for the necessary grade changes of streets, the reconstruction of these streets, installation of such changes as are necessary in the sewer system and defines the boundaries of the area; the other ordinance fixes the license fees assessed the Missouri Utilities Co, and establishes the rates paid for municipal lighting by repealing one section of the ordinance and substituting a new section calling for 2 1/2 times more whiteway illumination at a reduced cost to the city.

1920 Postmaster T.J. Juden has been informed by the postal department that Thursday, Nov. 11, to be observed as “Armistice Day,” won’t be a national holiday; the order means that business at the post office will continue uninterrupted by the second anniversary of the cessation of hostilities; the question of making Armistice Day a national holiday has never been definitely decided. Since surveyors of the U.S. Geological Survey Department have placed markers in and around Jackson, residents know just how high up in the world they have advanced; a brass plate, sunk into the stone on the steps of the county courthouse, proclaims that particular spot is just 497 feet above sea level.

TODAY’S PRAYER

hank you, O God, that in you we can trade our sorrows for the joy of the Lord. Amen.

OUR OPINION

FCA’s Fields of Faith connected student athletes with inspiring message Young people face many challenges in today’s society. COVID-19, the resulting lockdowns and current social restrictions have brought on even more issues. Considering this, it’s good to see events like the Fellowship of Christian Athletes Fields of Faith continue. On Oct. 14, the Southern Missouri chapter of FCA held its annual gathering at Houck Field. Student testimonies, prayer and worship music ﬁlled the evening’s program. Though attendance was down from the previous year — understandably so considering the pandemic — 250 area athletes gathered for a night of Christian fellowship and worship. Some of the speakers talked about overcoming injuries, questioning God about why they would go through the trial. But they also talked about how the injuries and recoveries helped them grow in their Christian faith. Southeast senior football player Omardrick Douglas talked about his battle with depression and how his faith in God played an important role in dealing with the struggles. It’s helpful for young people to hear from their contemporaries. And in this case, it was mostly athletes talking to other athletes. These messages of faith and inspiration play key roles. You never know who may have been impacted for the good based on one of these testimonies. Isaiah 55:11 says God’s Word does not come back void. We’re conﬁdent that this event touched many lives for the good. That’s worth celebrating.

Veterans’ service goes beyond the military Today’s issue contains a special section honoring our nation’s military veterans, in advance of next week’s Veterans Day. The section highlights a number of veterans who continued their service to our nation beyond their roles in the military. This is not unusual, even though their personal investments in their communities is extraordinary. To see pictures of veterans who served in war and peacetime at home and abroad is to glimpse fidelity to freedom and justice. Jason Ladner leads the jail division for Cape Girardeau County Sheriff’s Office. He uses his military experience to build up his team, understanding one committed group can do more than a collection of individuals. Because of his military service, John Dragoni understood the way to get things done was to roll up his sleeves and go about the hard work. Mike Stevenson saw firsthand how the Red Cross helps veterans in need — including himself, twice — and now serves as a volunteer with the organization. He credits his experience in some of the world’s most dangerous combat zones as helping him become a better doctor for the patients he’s treated over the decades. Those veterans are among the many who take off their military uniform and don the cloak of another form of service as teachers, firefighters and myriad others who strengthen those around them with their leadership, generosity of spirit and dedication. Our nation is stronger because of these men and women, and we are thankful to them — for what they have done and what they continue to do. Our nation has a unique history of service to ideals larger than ourselves, and our military veterans often are among the finest examples of what makes our nation a beacon for the world. Nov. 11 is the day we set aside each year to honor our military veterans. Through their ongoing service, they honor these United States every day.

Some big misses on Election Day — and a note of grace W

e know pollsters and the national media missed big. An election that many predicted to be a Blue Wave for Democrats turned instead into a nail biter, with Republicans holding onto ON K key U.S. Senate seats UST and even expanding their position in the House. Still, at the time I’m writing this, the odds are in former vice-president Joe Biden’s favor to be the next President of the United States, thanks to his advantage in mailed ballots. Such ballots turned large leads for President Donald Trump into narrow deﬁcits in the key states of Michigan, Wisconsin and Nevada. If these states decide for Biden, it wouldn’t matter if Pennsylvania, Georgia or North Carolina, currently led by Trump but still uncalled,

switch to the Democrat through late counting. Much of the media is pointing out, accurately, that historically, not all votes are counted on Election Day. It’s part of the process, and regularly some races turn on late ballots. So President Trump is wrong to call into question the counting of legal and legitimate votes. But the media’s limited comparisons to prior year vote counting are at the same time specious. New rules for mailed ballots were created in many states this year outside a Constitutionally defined legislative process, which has led in part to today’s turmoil. A less partisan media framing of election concerns would have been beneficial throughout the year, which still doesn’t excuse Trump for his inflammatory language. Or for denying the results, if he loses. Meanwhile, one note of grace that emerged Tuesday night came from Mitch McConnell, the Senate Ma-

jority Leader, who talked about the importance of ﬁnding unity in our country. “We don’t know which party will control the Senate,” McConnell said. “But some things are certain already. We know grave challenges will remain before us, challenges that could not care less about our political polarization. We know our next president will need to unite the country, even as we all continue to bring different ideas and commitments to the table.” Good luck to McConnell and all our leaders, including our next president, in such an effort. Indeed, our challenges are legion, from the pandemic to race relations to foreign threats to reigniting our economy. In the meantime, may we all be uniﬁed in peace and patience, as the process continues to work. Jon K. Rust is publisher of the Southeast Missourian.

OUR OPINION

So much for the election landslide Editor’s note: The following editorial originally appeared in The Wall Street Journal.

surge of unexpected votes for Donald Trump has confounded the forecasters — again. Whether it’s enough to carry him to victory in the Electoral College, as it did in 2016, was uncertain at this publication Wednesday morning. But by making the 2020 race close, and perhaps taking it into overtime, Mr. Trump has pulled off a second huge political surprise. At least a few pollsters might be looking for a new line of work. The analysts called Florida for President Trump, as he outperformed his numbers from 2016. Georgia and North Carolina were trending red, but Arizona seemed to have ﬂipped to Democrats from four years ago. The revenge of the John McCain Republicans? Decisive states in the Upper Midwest, including Wisconsin and Michigan, were too close to call.

Lucas Presson, Assistant publisher

Pennsylvania, as expected, was an electoral mess. At the last update Tuesday night, Philadelphia had tallied only about 76,000 of 350,000 mail ballots. Some counties won’t even start to count these votes until Wednesday. Either candidate had a path to win by our deadline. But it’s already clear that the biggest early losers are the pollsters. The mainstream media polls all had Mr. Biden winning in a walk with a popular vote margin in the upper single digits. They were off in particular on Florida. The outlier pollsters like the Trafalgar Group, often derided by their colleagues, seem to have better judged the electorate. Mr. Biden still seems likely to win the popular vote, but the margin will be narrower than predicted and the Electoral College was still up for grabs. Lamenting the Electoral College is a hardy perennial, but both parties know that it’s the measure of victory or defeat. Both campaigns

focused on those swing states. The tight race reminds us that democracy is surprising, and humility is good journalism practice. Especially in this year of Covid-19 and an economic recession, Democrats thought they were set up for a blue wave. But while they looked set to retain a House majority, a Senate Democratic majority was moving out of reach as GOP incumbents held on to win in Iowa and North Carolina. Another surprise was Mr. Trump’s apparently strong performance among minorities, especially among Hispanic-Americans. He did especially well with those voters in Miami-Dade County in Florida. The reasons will take some study, but our guess is that one was the economy’s strong performance before the pandemic. This lifted wages for low-skilled workers in particular after the slow growth Obama years. If Mr. Trump does win a second term, his late focus on the economy will be part of the explanation.

SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENT FEATURE

■ RESIDENTS IN 9 STATES CASH IN: The phone lines will be ringing off the hook. That’s because for the next 48 hours, packages containing actual Gold Vault Bricks still loaded with four 5-ounce Jumbo State Bars layered in valuable 24 Karat Gold minted by the Federated Mint are being shipped to residents in 9 states. These are the only Gold Vault Bricks known to exist and everyone wants them. That’s because they’re still loaded with Jumbo Gold Bars bearing the name of The First Bank of the United States of America and the state they were once destined for. And here’s the best part. If you live in one of the 9 states listed in today’s publication you cover only the minimum gold fee set for state residents of just $49 per ounce. That’s a real steal because residents living outside of the designated 9 states must pay $124 per ounce if any remain.

Residents snap up Gold Bars issued in 9 States

Heavy Gold Vault Bricks loaded with valuable Jumbo State Bars layered in 24 Karat Gold are up for grabs as thousands stand to miss the deadline to claim the gold bars; now residents in 9 states can claim the Gold Vault Bricks for themselves and keep all the valuable bars found inside just by covering the minimum gold fee set for state residents within the next 48 hours “It’s like a modern day gold rush,” said Mary Ellen Withrow, emeritus 40th Treasurer of the United States of America. That’s because actual Gold Vault Bricks™ still loaded with four 5-ounce Jumbo State Bars layered in valuable 24 Karat Gold bearing the name of the First Bank of the United States of America™ and the state they were once destined for are up for grabs as thousands of U.S. residents stand to miss the deadline to claim the gold. Now any resident of those states can claim the Gold Vault Bricks for themselves and keep all the valuable gold found inside. That’s four massive bars weighing a full 20 ounces of high demand bullion copper layered in valuable 24 Karat Gold in all. And here’s the best part. If you live in one of the 9 states listed in today’s publication you cover only the minimum gold fee set for state residents of just $49 per ounce which totals $980 for the full 20 ounces locked away inside these gold vault bricks. That’s a real steal because residents living outside of the designated 9 states must pay $124 per ounce which totals $2,480 if any remain. “As special counsel to Federated Mint I earn my pay delivering breaking news. And today’s announcement confirming the release of Gold Vault Bricks to the general public is as big as it gets. Believe me, I know how valuable these Gold Vault Bricks are to resellers, collectors, dealers and anyone else who gets their hands on them,” Withrow said. “So my advice is this, anyone who gets an opportunity to get their hands on one of these Gold Vault Bricks better jump at the chance before they’re all gone,” Withrow said. “These Gold Vault Bricks loaded with massive 5-ounce Jumbo State Bars layered in valuable 24 Karat Gold make the most impressive gifts for Christmas, birthdays, graduations, weddings, and any other occasion, especially for that hard-to-buy-for person,” Withrow said. According to Ms. Withrow, since thousands of U.S. residents stand to miss the deadline to claim the gold, today and tomorrow are intended as a “special 48 hour release” for the benefit of persons living in; MO, AR, IL, IA, KS, KY, NE, OK and TN. This gives residents of those states a fair chance to claim the Gold Vault Bricks and all the valuable gold loaded inside for themselves. But, Ms. Withrow added, “The Gold Vault Bricks are only available as inventory permits during the special 48 hour release and once they’re gone, they’re gone.” The emeritus Treasurer added, “Remember this, these Gold Vault Bricks contain a full 20 ounces of high demand bullion copper layered in valuable 24 Karat Gold and we have no power to stop dealers, resellers, collectors and the like from buying up all the Gold Vault Bricks they can get their hands on and reselling them for a big profit,” Withrow said. Anyone who fails to obtain them during this special 48 hour release may be forced to buy them later in the secondary market from a dealer, reseller or collector at a hefty premium. ”We already know the phones will be ringing off the hook. That’s why hundreds of agents are standing by to answer the phones beginning at 8:30am this morning. We’re going to do our best, but with just 48 hours to answer all the calls it won’t be easy. So make sure to tell everyone to keep calling if all lines are busy. We’ll do our best to answer them all,” Withrow said. “That’s why Federated Mint set up the State Distribution Hotlines in order to make sure residents in the 9 designated states listed in today’s newspaper publication can get them now,” Withrow said. The only thing readers of today’s newspaper publication need to do is make sure they live in one of the 9 states listed in today’s newspaper and call the State Distribution Hotlines before the special 48 hour release ends midnight tomorrow. ■

VALUABLE: THESE ARE THE FOUR 5-OUNCE JUMBO GOLD BARS SEALED AWAY IN EACH GOLD VAULT BRICK BEARING THE STATE DESTINATION

How much are the Gold Vault Bricks worth: The answer is, it’s impossible to say. But, it would be foolish for anyone to try and determine the value of these Gold Vault Bricks based on today’s price of gold. Here’s why. Gold, silver and all precious metal values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees. But what we do know is that these are the only Gold Vault Bricks still loaded with four 5-ounce Jumbo State Bars known to exist. In fact, the value of the pure 24 Karat Gold layered content is just a bonus for anyone lucky enough to get one of these Gold Vault Bricks because there’s no telling how much the actual collector value could be worth. That makes the minimum gold fee set for state residents of just $ 49 per ounce which totals $ 980 for the full 20 ounces locked away inside these Gold Vault Bricks a real steal since residents living outside of the designated 9 states must pay $124 per ounce, which totals $ 2,480, if any remain. Why the vault fee is so low: Since thousands of U.S. residents stand to miss the deadline to claim the gold, Federated Mint has re-allocated Gold Vault Bricks to be sent out in the next 48 hours. That means the gold is up for grabs and now residents in 9 states can claim the Gold Vault Bricks for themselves and keep all the valuable bars found inside. These are the only Gold Vault Bricks known to exist and everyone wants them. That’s because they’re still loaded with four 5-ounce Jumbo State Bars layered in valuable 24 Karat Gold bearing the name of The First Bank of the United States of America and the state they were once destined for. That’s four massive bars weighing a full 20 ounces of 24 Karat Gold and valuable bullion copper in all. And here’s the best part. If you live in one of the 9 states listed in today’s publication you cover only the minimum gold fee set for state residents of just $ 49 per ounce. That’s a real steal because residents living outside of the designated 9 states must pay $124 per ounce if any remain.

■ FIRST LOOK INSIDE THE GOLD VAULT BRICKS: Pictured above are the Gold Vault Bricks containing the only Jumbo State Gold Bars known to exist bearing the name of the First Bank of the United States of America and the state they were once destined for. State residents are rushing to get them because the Gold Vault Bricks are still loaded with four 5-ounce Jumbo State Bars layered in valuable 24 Karat Gold. Everyone lucky enough to get them better hold on to them because there’s no telling just how much they could be worth.

Election splits Congress, GOP bolstered as Democrats falter BY LISA MASCARO

ing rare gains with women and minority candidates. Republicans defeated several Democratic freshmen who delivered the House majority in 2018 in a backlash against Trump, by linking them to their most liberal members, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and branding them all as “socialist.” “We expanded this party that reﬂects America, that looks like America,” said House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., in a conference call with reporters. A handful of new progressives will be coming to Washington to join House Democrats, while Republicans will see new right-ﬂank members, including Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has espoused unfounded QAnon conspiracy theories and won a vacant seat in northwest Georgia. Trump has called Greene a “future Republican star.” While Democrats picked up must-win seats in Colorado and Arizona, they suffered a setback in Alabama, and Republicans held their own in one race after another — in South Carolina, Maine, Iowa, Texas, Kansas and Montana, dramatically limiting Democrats’ hopes of making inroads. “I know folks are anxious,” Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy told followers on a live Twitter video. “We need to count the votes.” The races attracted an unprecedented outpouring of small-dollar donations for

But the dismal outcome for Democrats put the brakes on the ambitious plans for legislative overhauls of health care, infrastructure and racial justice pushed by the party, eager for a sweep of Washington government. Even if Democrats capture the White House with Joe Biden and a narrowly split Senate, Pelosi’s leverage to force deal-making on her terms will be diminished by her House losses.

If Donald Trump wins another term, his Republican allies particularly in the Senate will likely feel more comfortable sticking with him after escaping an electoral wipeout, though they have yet to outline a GOP agenda. Scott Jennings, a Republican strategist close to McConnell, said win or lose Trump “reorganized the political parties,” turning Republicans, not Democrats, into the party of “working-class” America. “Democrats have a lot to think about when it comes to those voters,” Jennings said. “And Republicans have

In Washington, more than 1,000 people protesting President Donald Trump converged on Black Lives Matter Plaza on Tuesday night, just a block from the White House, while hundreds more

marched through downtown, sometimes blocking traffic and setting off ﬁreworks. Protestors shouted “Whose streets? Our streets!” and “If we don’t get no justice, they don’t get no peace!” Groups of teenagers danced in the street as onlookers cheered. Large banners, including one reading “Trump lies all the time,” were unfurled.

PHILADELPHIA — They clung to their cocktails and proclaimed themselves sick with dread. They relentlessly checked the news and went outdoors for fresh air. They bemoaned a wipeout wave that never came and held out hope their favored candidate still would eke out a win. With the fate of the White House undecided Wednesday, a jittery and bitterly divided America braced for rocky days to come and the possibility a man they despise would be leading the nation. “I can’t turn on the news. I don’t feel good at all,” said 61-year-old Tammy Lewandowski, a supporter of President Donald Trump in Milwaukee, where former Vice President Joe Biden emerged as the state’s winner. That’s an outcome Lewandowski fears will amount to a loss of law and order and rioting. “I feel like we lost our country. I don’t know that anything will be the same again.” On the other side of the divide but just as troubled, women gathering at a Fems for Dems gathering in the affluent Detroit suburb of Bloomﬁeld Hills moaned and dropped their heads into their hands as the returns came in early Wednesday, some consider-

ing switching from red wine to tequila. Even as they held out hope, they knew they hadn’t won what they wanted: a nationwide repudiation of Trump. “I honestly feel like I’m going to have a heart attack before the end of this,” said Denice Asbell. “I feel like it’s slipping. I’m scared to say this out loud, but the potential for us to see the win that we wanted is slipping away.” Asbell’s daughter, 13-yearold Rhegan Stallworth, shared the angst as she braced for the outcome in a country where many don’t understand the beliefs of the opposing side. “It’s like putting your life in the hands of a nation you don’t trust,” Stallworth said. Votes were still being counted across the country and likely will be for days to come as Biden and Trump both remain short of the necessary 270 electoral votes to win. Nothing was out of the ordinary in that process beyond a predicted surge of mail-in votes, but the lack of certainty wore on a public exhausted by a seemingly endless campaign, and all the attacks, vitriol and costly TV commercials that go with it. An answer was all but certain to be delayed by recounts and legal challenges of razor-thin margins in one or more of the swing

Democrats from Americans apparently voting with their pocketbooks to propel longshot campaigns. “You wasted a lot of money,” said White House ally Sen. Lindsey Graham in Columbia, South Carolina, after defeating Jamie Harrison, despite the Democrat’s stunning $100 million haul for his upstart campaign. Still, Republican strategist Steven Law, president of the Senate Leadership Fund, which supports GOP senators, said future candidates are going to have to step up their own fundraising. “There’s still a dinosaur mentality out there,” he said. McConnell also warned of the continued problems Republicans face in the Trump era as voters turn away from the GOP. “We need to win back the suburbs,” McConnell said. “We had a better election than most people thought we’d have, but we have improvements we need to make.” Republicans believe Democrats erred by focusing almost exclusively on the COVID crisis and the risks to Americans’ health care as Trump and the GOP try to unravel the Obama-era Affordable Care Act. Voters care almost as much about the economy, they said. According to AP VoteCast, a national survey of the electorate, voters ranked the pandemic and the economy as top concerns.

Jittery public awaits news as presidency remains in flux

ROCKY

WASHINGTON — The election scrambled seats in the House and Senate but ultimately left Congress much like it began, deeply split as voters resisted big changes despite the heated race at the top of the ticket for the White House. It’s an outcome that dampens Democratic demands for a bold new agenda, emboldens Republicans and almost ensures partisan gridlock regardless of who wins the presidency. Or perhaps, as some say, it provides a rare opening for modest acrossthe-aisle cooperation. Speaker Nancy Pelosi was on track to keep control of the Democratic House, but saw her majority shrinking and her leadership called into question. Republicans’ control of the Senate tilted their way as GOP senators fended off an onslaught of energized challengers, though a few races remained undecided Wednesday. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Wednesday he’s conﬁdent “no matter who ends up running the government” they’ll be “trying to overcome all that and get results.” One certainty is the upended projections will force a rethinking of polling, fundraising and the very messages the parties use to reach voters in the Trump era and beyond. “Our purpose in this race

states of Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada, a bitter pill for those certain the future of the country will be determined by the result. Though the AP was able to call Wisconsin for Biden on Wednesday afternoon, the other states remained in flux. The fate of lower races remained unknown too, including the balance of the Senate, where forecasts of Democrats achieving a majority now seemed all but out of reach. The Trump campaign said it filed lawsuits Wednesday in Pennsylvania and Michigan and was seeking a recount in Wisconsin, laying the groundwork for contesting the outcome in battleground states. Jason Klemm, a 49-yearold actor in Philadelphia, sipped vodka from a 7-Eleven cup Wednesday morning in Rittenhouse Square, trying to ease his nerves after staying glued to television coverage until 4 a.m., then rising after a nap. As returns continued streaming in, Klemm felt more confident than he did a few hours earlier that his candidate, Biden, could prevail. But he knew the results would fall short of what he’d hoped for. “I would have liked a miracle last night but it didn’t happen,” said Klemm, whose state showed Trump leading with many votes uncounted. “But every time I walk away and come back later, it’s a little bit better for Biden.” The possibility of seeing Trump ushered from Pennsylvania Avenue was a tough one for his supporters to grasp, too. Jim Green, a 73-year-old accountant from Greenfield, Wisconsin, said he felt confident the president could win even as he feared the alternative. When a neighbor stopped by Wednesday to commiserate, the weight of the uncertainty was evident. “I’m sick to my stomach,” the SUV’s driver said to Green, who responded: “Just don’t go buy a gun and shoot people.” In Nevada, where Biden leads, one of his supporters, Mike McClain, said however long it takes, he was confident in the result. “I think after the dust settles it will be a clear Biden victory, no matter what the Trump lawyers do with it,” said McClain, a retired schoolteacher, industrial engineer and Vietnam-era U.S. Army veteran who is in his 70s and lives in suburban Las Vegas.

Public health may be election loser as coronavirus surges BY LINDSEY TANNER

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Regardless of the presidential election outcome, a vexing issue remains to be decided: Will the U.S. be able to tame a perilous pandemic that is surging as holidays, winter and other challenges approach? Public health experts fear the answer is no, at least in the short term, with potentially dire consequences. Donald Trump’s current term doesn’t end until Jan. 20. In the 86 days until then, 100,000 more Americans will likely die from the virus if the president doesn’t shift course, said Dr. Robert Murphy, executive director of the Institute for Global Health at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine, echoing estimates from other public health experts. As of Wednesday, the race was too close to call, with several key battleground states still counting votes. The U.S. death toll is already more than 232,000 and the seven-day rolling average for new daily deaths is rising. Total conﬁrmed U.S. cases have surpassed 9 million and new daily infections are increasing in nearly every state. “Where we are is in an extremely dire place as a country. Every metric that we have is trending in the wrong direction. This is a virus that will continue to escalate at an accelerated speed and that is not going to stop on its own,” said Dr. Leana Wen, a public health expert at George Washington University. Dr. Susan Bailey, president of the American Medical Association, said there are things Americans can do now to help change the trajectory. “Regardless of the outcome of the election, everyone in America needs to buckle down,” Bailey said. “A lot of us have gotten kind of relaxed about physically distancing, not washing our hands quite as often as we used to, maybe not wearing our masks quite as faithfully. We all need to realize that things are escalating and we’ve got to be more careful than ever,” she said. Polls showed the public health crisis and the economy were top concerns for many Americans.

A woman inserts her ballot into a drops box Monday in Salt Lake City. Regardless of the presidential election outcome, a vexing issue remains to be decided: Will the U.S. be able to tame a perilous pandemic that is surging as holidays, winter and other challenges approach? Public health experts fear the answer is no, at least in the short term, with potentially dire consequences. They are competing issues Trump and Democratic contender Joe Biden view through drastically different lenses. Trump has ignored the advice of his top health advisers, who have issued increasingly urgent warnings in recent days about the need for preventive measures, instead holding rallies where face coverings were rare and falsely suggesting the pandemic is waning. By contrast, Biden has rarely been seen in public without a mask and made public health a key issue. Whether his voice will carry much inﬂuence if Trump is declared the winner is uncertain. “President Trump has already made clear what his strategy is for COVID-19, which is to pretend there is not a contagious virus all around us,” Wen said. Trump has been touting treatments and vaccines, which won’t be widely available to all Americans until at least mid-2021, she noted. “There’s a lot of suffering that is going to happen before then, which could have been prevented,” Wen said. Federal health officials have said they believe a vaccine could get emergency use authorization before the end of the year. The ﬁrst limited supplies of doses would then be immediately distributed to the most vulnerable populations. Doses would then gradually become more widely available.

The timeline hinges on having a vaccine that’s shown to be safe and effective, which experts note is not a certainty. “The vaccine has to move at the speed of science,” said Dr. Joshua Sharfstein, vice dean for public health practice at Johns Hopkins University and former Maryland state health department chief. On the treatment front, the makers of two experimental antibody drugs have asked the Food and Drug Administration to allow emergency use of them for people with mild to moderate COVID-19, and Trump, who received one when he was sickened last month, has said he wanted them available right away. So far, the FDA has granted full approval to only one drug — the antiviral remdesivir — for hospitalized patients. Dexamethasone or similar steroids are recommended for certain severely ill patients under federal treatment guidelines. The government continues to sponsor many studies testing other treatments alone and in combination with remdesivir. But the development of treatments could be affected if Trump makes good on threats to ﬁre Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government’s top infectious disease doctor, or other top health officials Trump has clashed with. Most Americans support mandating mask-wearing in public and think preventing the virus from spreading

is a higher priority than protecting the economy, according to AP VoteCast, a nationwide survey of over 133,000 voters and nonvoters conducted for The Associated Press by NORC at the University of Chicago. While several European countries have imposed or proposed new lockdowns and other restrictions to control surging cases, Trump has resisted those approaches and has focused on rebuilding the economy. Absent a national pandemic strategy, curbing virus spread in the U.S. will depend on more Americans taking necessary precautions and the upcoming holiday season will make that a challenge, said Dr. Cedric Dark, an emergency physician in Houston. “It’s going to be Thanksgiving, winter break for college students, Christmas time and Hannukah,” but families may have to resist close get-togethers this year, he said. Outbreaks on college campuses mean many students may be bringing the virus home and spreading it to parents and grandparents, he said. Dark, who hasn’t seen his parents in over a year, has had to adjust his own holiday plans. This year, Thanksgiving will be in his parents’ garage, with the door up, chairs at least 6 feet apart, and a space heater if needed. “We can at least see each other, from a distance,” Dark said.

ATHENS, Greece — Coronavirus cases hit new daily highs this week in Russia, and Germany and the U.K. announced plans Tuesday to expand virus testing as European countries battled rapidly increasing COVID-19 infections and hospitalizations. Nations reintroduced restrictions to get ahead of a virus that has caused more than 1.2 million deaths around the globe, over 270,000 of them in Europe, according to Johns Hopkins University, and is straining health care systems. New measures took effect Tuesday in Austria, Greece and Sweden, following a partial shutdown imposed in Germany on Monday and tighter rules in Italy, France, Kosovo and Croatia. England faces a near-total lockdown from today, although schools and universities will stay open. Infections spiked in Russia, where authorities reported 18.648 new cases Tuesday. It was the fifth straight day of more than 18,000 confirmed cases, compared to the country’s daily record of over 11,000 in the spring. Russia has the world’s fourth-highest reported coronavirus caseload with over 1.6 million people confirmed infected, including more than 28,000 who died in the pandemic. The country lifted most

virus-related restrictions this summer, and Russian officials say the health care system can cope. However, alarming reports have surfaced of overwhelmed hospitals, drug shortages and inundated medical workers. Sweden, where the government skipped the lockdowns other nations adopted for a much-debated approach that kept much of society open, set new nationwide limits on restaurants and cafes, ordering them to serve only seated customers and with a maximum of eight per table. The Scandinavian country announced local restrictions in three more counties that include Sweden’s largest cities. “We are going in the wrong

direction. The situation is very serious,” Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said. “Now, every citizen needs to take responsibility. We know how dangerous this is.” The country of 10 million people has 134,532 reported cases and nearly 6,000 deaths. Amid the gloom, a partial lockdown in the Netherlands appeared to be paying off; Dutch officials reported the number of new conﬁrmed cases fell 5% to 64,087 in the past seven days, the ﬁrst decline in weeks. The fall came three weeks after the government put the nation of 17 million on partial lockdown, including closing bars and restaurants, halting amateur sports for adults and urging people to work from home.

Dutch authorities remain concerned the number of COVID-19 patients is putting an unbearable strain on hospitals, and Prime Minister Mark Rutte announced further restrictions Tuesday night. “It’s not going too bad but certainly not good enough. The infection numbers have to go down quicker,” Rutte said as he explained that the government was closing cinemas, theaters, swimming pools and museums for two weeks.

After tense night, election mystery remains for media BY DAVID BAUDER AND LYNN ELBER

Europe tightens restrictions as virus hospitalizations rise BY ELENA BECATOROS

Thursday, November 05, 2020

After an extraordinary night of shifting vote counts and a rebuke of President Donald Trump, news organizations kept vigil Wednesday as Americans waited to learn who their next president would be. Methodical vote counting Wednesday left Democrat Joe Biden on the cusp of the presidency. The Associated Press said he has won enough states for 264 electoral votes and a win in one of four uncalled states — Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania or Nevada — would make him the president-elect. Cable and broadcast news divisions followed the story closely, even as they learned election night coverage was a relative dud with viewers. An estimated 56.9 million people watched coverage over 21 networks during primetime hours Tuesday, down sharply from the 71.4 million viewers on election night 2016, the Nielsen company said. It was a cable news night, with Fox News Channel leading the way with 13.6 million viewers, followed by CNN (9.1 million) and MSNBC (7.3 million), Nielsen said. The legacy broadcast networks — ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox — followed in that order. For weeks, media outlets had warned that Americans would need patience on election night and beyond, and that turned out to be their most accurate prediction. After several hours of little movement Wednesday, news outlets called the Midwestern states of Wisconsin and Michigan for Biden, narrowing Trump’s potential path to reelection. News organizations didn’t move in lockstep on their calls. By 6 p.m. EST, for example, no one had joined Fox News Channel or the AP in declaring Biden the winner in Arizona, which they had done more than 15 hours earlier. Since voting has ended, the AP has published several stories explaining to readers its thinking behind calling a state for one candidate or the other. On Wednesday, it gave a detailed accounting for the states where a race call had not been made. For example, the story noted

Trump’s lead in Pennsylvania, but said “the vast majority of the votes left to be counted there were cast by mail, a form of voting Biden has carried by a large margin.” Journalists sought to reassure people there was nothing nefarious about the process of counting votes. “It’s not fraud,” said CNN’s John King. “It’s math.” The overnight hours featured the stunning scene of journalists immediately refuting Trump after he stood behind a White House podium and complained it was “a major fraud on our nation” he hadn’t been declared the winner. NBC News’ Savannah Guthrie broke into Trump’s statement to tell viewers several of Trump’s statements were untrue. “The fact of the matter is we don’t know who won the election,” she said. CBS News’ Norah O’Donnell said Trump was “castrating the facts” by “falsely claiming he has won the election and disenfranchising millions of voters whose ballots have not been counted.” “This is an extremely flammable situation and the president just threw a match into it,” said Fox News Channel’s Chris Wallace. With the sun’s rise Wednesday, it seemed to feel to some like a bad dream they’d like to forget. “It was ridiculous,” former Ohio Republican Gov. John Kasich said on CNN. “He should not have done that. This is what we have come to expect, but it won’t matter because I think we will count all the votes.” The president continued tweeting his displeasure. Twitter took down some of his tweets, saying some or all of them were disputed and might be misleading. “They are finding Biden votes all over the place — in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan,” the president said in one tweet that got through. “So bad for our Country!” Meanwhile, Biden made a brief appearance to call for the vote count to continue without interference. He didn’t declare victory, but was confident he would prevail. “We the people will not be bullied,” Biden said. “We the people will not be silenced.”

DEAR ABBY

At Fountainbleau Lodge we offer full time physical, speech, and occupational therapies as well as a full time restorative program.

Woman wonders why son didn’t reveal partner’s miscarriage Dear Abby: I thought my son and I were close. Recently, I learned that his girlfriend EANNE had a miscarriage. HILLIPS I learned about it from an email his girlfriend sent me, and I have also learned he told another relative he’s close to about the miscarriage. I called his girlfriend after receiving her email and expressed my sympathy, inquired about her health and told her that I would keep her and my son in my prayers. My feelings are hurt because I didn’t hear about the pregnancy/ miscarriage from my son, and he disclosed it to another relative instead. I thought we could discuss anything — even though we disagree on some things. I want to ask why he didn’t tell me and let him know my feelings are hurt because children are family treasures. Should I express how I feel and ask why he felt he couldn’t share with me? Overlooked in Florida

J P

Dear Overlooked: Resist the urge to personalize this the way you have. If you are smart, you will think long and hard — a few months, perhaps — before asking your son that question because if there is a problem in your relationship, this

will only make it worse. Take this opportunity to work on the things that aren’t right in your relationship with your son. He may have had other things besides his mother on his mind when this happened, and may not have wanted or needed to be reminded that children are “family treasures.” Dear Abby: My husband and I have been together for almost 10 years. He’s my dreamboat, everything I ever wanted in a man. Although he doesn’t have a history of cheating, he is flirtatious. My husband fixes computers. Last year, when my best friend’s computer wouldn’t turn on, he was happy to help. I just found a naked picture of her on his computer. When I confronted him, he confessed he stole it while he was fixing her computer. When I told my friend, she kind of blew it off. (“Men do stupid stuff ...”) I don’t know if I can trust him again and I feel beaten down. I have been hurt several times before in prior relationships. Abby, what do I do? Shocked in New Jersey Dear Shocked: Your best friend’s reaction was unusual. Most women would be mortified over this scenario. Your husband’s behavior was shameful. He should delete the photo he stole and apologize to you and your friend for the “stupid stuff” he did. And,

because this has damaged your ability to trust your husband, insist on some sessions with a marriage and family therapist to see if the damage to your relationship with him can be repaired. Dear Abby: My motherin-law has a disgusting habit: Whenever I’m starting to cook something with raw hamburger, she grabs a mouthful. I have tried explaining how dangerous it is, but she won’t listen to reason. She says she’s been doing it since she was a kid (she’s 80 now). I’ve tried pointing out that the meat supply is not the same as it was then, but her response is “it hasn’t hurt me yet!” Please advise. Careful Cook in Carolina

Dear Cook: I’ll try. Go to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration website (fda. gov) and search on “eating raw ground beef.” When you do, you will ﬁnd printable information about the dangers of E. coli, which is most prevalent in raw hamburger and especially dangerous to young children and people older than the age of 65. Then give the printout to your mother-inlaw and pray she’s capable of changing her ways.

Some physicians are reporting success with off-label uses of these medications, including for hyperhidrosis in the crotch area. However, it’s important to understand that neither of these medications are FDA-approved for hyperhidrosis in any region other than the underarms. When it comes to Botox, the amount of the drug required for the crotch area can make the treatment quite costly. It’s also very important that the physician providing the treatment is well-versed in the speciﬁc injection strategies that are being pioneered. If you haven’t already, please consult with your health care provider. They can help you with strategies to lessen the incidence of UTIs and other infections. They can also offer guidance if you choose to pursue other options.

RECIPE SWAP

Fall, cooler weather and a food mash-up

Cranberry recipes for the holiday season Now that the calendar has turned to November, I feel like it is fair game to start with all of the holiday season recipe columns. I have several planned for you over the next several weeks, and we will kick off the holiday recipe season with cranberries. I love cranberries! I like dried and fresh and keep several bags in our freezer all year long. My dad always made cranberry relish, which I have shared the recipe with you before. Once I made whipped cranberry orange butter to put on fresh, hot, homemade dinner rolls, and my ﬁve siblings teased me so much about making cranberry butter for hot rolls I haven’t made it again, but I have included the recipe here today. This cranberry column has a lot packed into it, and you’ll miss so many of the great recipes if you don’t go online and read it in its entirety. You won’t want to miss all of the delicious treats that await you near the end of this column.

Cranberry Chicken Salad Bites

24 frozen mini pastry shells 4 cups cooked chicken, finely chopped 3 ribs celery, diced 1 cup sweetened dried cranberries 1/3 cup chopped pecans 1-1/2 cups mayonnaise 1/3 cup honey, or more to taste 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper Submitted by Rebecca LaClair

The Reuben Brat and Chicken and Dumplings from Incredible Edibles, found thanks to a good tip.

had it on very good authority that Tuesdays in Perryville, Missouri, were special for one reason: homemade chicken and dumplings at Incredible Edibles. Fall and the cooler weather had made this the perfect time to test that theory. The leaves were showing their color and falling in buckets across the road. The time had changed, and the world seemed to be moving slower and breathing a sigh of relief. I adore fall. When I stepped into Incredible Edibles, I was struck by the attention to detail I encountered. What appeared to be live edge cedar slabs were everywhere, whimsical and in their natural asymmetrical forms, lining a beam in the ceiling, framing doors and serving as an edging around the counter. White walls balanced the intricate wood and allowed it to take center stage. Rustic wood covered the trash bin, disguising it and making it look like a potato bin in Grandma’s kitchen. The implicit invitation immediately fed my soul with a cozy comfort that was a precursor of what was to come. True to my source’s word, Chicken and Dumplings were on the menu, along with something called a Rueben Brat. Two things I like very much mashed into one, a deﬁnite must try. I ordered at the register, grabbed a bag

of homemade peanut brittle, paid and sat down by the window. Horizontal beams of light were falling across me through the blinds, and I just felt at peace with the world. Until I realized how hungry I was, so I broke into the peanut brittle while I waited. I didn’t have to wait long, but I did have to try the brittle for this article anyway, soooo …. just one little piece. Crunchy, buttery, full of deep caramel overtones, the vehicle for the star — nuts — was delicious. It was crunchy until I continued to chew, and then it devel-

oped a hard stickiness that I enjoyed. The next bite got a skin-on peanut, and the flavor exploded with salt and rich nuttiness. Although I don’t eat it often, I enjoy a good peanut brittle. Nothing can compare to homemade, and this brittle was worth the drive. The hot food came out, and my goodness, the prices here are extremely reasonable. A big cup of chicken and dumplings, a bag of chips, and a brat filled a plate. Originally, I came for the dumplings, so I tried a spoonful of that first. I take notes of my first impressions, and this is what I wrote about the dumplings while I chewed: “Instant pop of rich, deep chicken flavor with perfect saltiness. Silky, stick-to-your ribs broth, warm and filling, halfway between soup and gravy.” The chicken base for this dish was so solid and spot-on. The dumplings were traditional rolled dumplings, made fresh that morning. What I liked most about them is that they weren’t flavorless, they weren’t gummy, and each square was small enough to get on my spoon without performing an impossible balancing act, which I very much appreciated. Then I tried the Rueben Brat. I studied it first, to try to see what was going on. The browned brat was on a hoagie bun that had been buttered and pan-toasted to

get that wonderful crispy golden-brown coating. The brat was sitting on a generous dollop of Thousand Island dressing and topped with browned sauerkraut. I found out later that the sauerkraut is cooked in the pan with the brat while it is browning, so it picks up those wonderful meaty brown bits (fond) in the bottom of the pan and caramelizes into something mild and wonderful. That ﬁrst bite made me note, “Brat is genius.” Here are two dishes, Reubens and brats, that I would have never have had the imagination to put together, and it worked. It worked so well that I was soon three bites in, intrigued and happy, wondering how this would taste with that homemade sauerkraut I had fermenting in my kitchen. I can’t wait to try. The two ladies I encountered here were just as warm and welcoming as their dining room. The food was hot, ﬁlling, comforting, and most importantly, just plain good. I will return again, maybe on a Wednesday to try those tacos that were being asked about at the counter. If they’re good enough to bring people back to ask for them, I bet they’re just as good as the dumplings. Incredible indeed. Incredible Edibles is located at 118 E. Sainte Marie St. in Perryville.

Chef celebrates the variety of Black food BY MARK KENNEDY

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – If anyone asks chef Marcus Samuelsson what African food taste like, he has a ready answer: Have you ever had barbeque? Rice? Collard greens? Okra? Coffee? “All of that food comes from Africa, has its roots in Africa,” says the Ethiopian Swedish writer and restaurateur. “Everyone has had African American dishes, whether they know it or not.” Samuelsson is hoping to educate Americans and champion Black chefs in “The Rise: Black Cooks and the Soul of American Food” from Little, Brown and Company’s Voracious imprint. The book has 150 recipes inspired by Black chefs, writers and activists, and

includes proﬁles of 26. The recipes celebrate the legacy of Africa, the inﬂuence of migration and integration, and where cutting-edge Black chefs are going next. “When I look at American food and I look at the Black experience, we’ve done so much but almost got erased,” says Samuelsson, the chef of Harlem’s famed Red Rooster. “There’s never been a better time to tell those stories.” The book – with essays by Osayi Endolyn and recipe development by Yewande Komolafe – is a rich mix of stories and food, from citrus scallops with hibiscus tea to oxtail pepperpot with dumplings. As Samuelsson writes in the introduction: “This isn’t an encyclopedia. It’s a feast. And everyone’s invited.”

Readers will learn how Los Angeles-based chef Nyesha Arrington’s cooking draws on family history from Mississippi and South Korea. They’ll learn it takes just 45 minutes to make Eric Gestel’s chicken liver mousse with croissants, a dish informed from his years cooking at the acclaimed Le Bernardin. And they’ll learn how Mashama Bailey is reinventing traditional Southern dishes. “Our pasts are so unique and it’s so important to tell,” says Samuelsson. “We needed to tell our very layered and beautiful, non-monolithic journey.” Samuelsson notes that many cookbooks celebrate European and Asian foods but hardly bring up Black dishes, meaning we know more about ricotta than

ayib, the fresh cheese of Ethiopia. “This is America’s past. So for me, as much as we learn about Japan, as much as we learn about Italy and Spain and so on, wouldn’t it be great to learn about our own food? This is America’s food,” he says. Samuelsson compares the food in the book to popular music. He looks at New Orleans and hears the influence of France, Haiti, Africa and Spain – he hears jazz. Black food is no different. “It comes from the continent first and then it lands here. And then, whether we went North or stayed in the South or went out West, it’s going to have a different journey – a different flavor profile to it – depending on who we met and who we got together with,” he says.

Wallingford well after surgery, looking forward to returning to Mo. House BY JEFF LONG

“Our home in Cape has steps and the one in the capital doesn’t, so Jeff City is a better place for me to rest up right now,” he added.

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN Wayne Wallingford celebrated his election as Missouri’s new House District 147 representative in an unexpected location Tuesday. Wallingford of Cape Girardeau received a kidney transplant the day before at Saint Louis University Hospital. “I had been on a waiting list (for a transplant) for a year-and-a-half and it just so happened a kidney became available this week,” said Wallingford, 74. Wallingford was term-limited out of the Missouri Senate District 27 seat he’s held for eight years and sought to return to the General Assembly’s lower chamber, where he had previously served two years. The ex-Vietnam military pilot defeated Democratic challenger and political newcomer, Andy Leighton, 63% to 37%. Wallingford will succeed Kathy Swan in the House, who was similarly term-limited. In August, Swan lost a Republican primary race to succeed Wallingford, being defeated by Holly Rehder by a razor-thin margin. Rehder will succeed Wallingford at the start of the next legislative term. “I’m real excited to go to

GOP in control

Wayne Wallingford the House,” said Wallingford, saying his extensive knowledge of the upper chamber will make him “an ambassador” of sorts. “I can help with the process of moving legislation into the Senate, plus I know the people over there pretty well,” he added.

Parson’s election Wallingford said he was glad to see Mike Parson win a gubernatorial term in his own right, after having ﬁnished out Eric Greitens’ term following the latter’s sudden resignation in June 2018. “(Parson) listens and understands and doesn’t approach things with preconceived ideas or an agenda,” said Wallingford, who intends to spend some time post-surgery recuperating at his Jefferson City residence for a short while.

The state Senate, the body Wallingford is leaving, saw 10 Republicans and seven Democrats win Tuesday. The Missouri House, assuming all unofficial results become ﬁnal, will have 114 Republicans and 49 Democrats come January. “I would normally say that kind of an edge in (the General Assembly) gives us a good chance of overturning a governor’s veto, but that won’t be much of a problem with a GOP governor,” Wallingford admitted. Wallingford said he is pleased with Parson’s cooperation with the legislature thus far. “I think we’ve sent (Parson) 48 bills and he signed all but two,” said Wallingford, who himself has a total of 10 years of experience in the Missouri Legislature.

Amendments Wallingford said he had no real opinion on Amendment No. 1, the initiative to extend terms limits to multiple state offices. Statewide, Missourians defeated the proposal by a 52%-48% margin, although the plebiscite passed by a

margin of 240 votes in Cape Girardeau County. Amendment No. 3, dealing with redistricting, passed by a narrower 51%-49% margin, although it won Cape Girardeau County support by 62%-38%. The veteran lawmaker pronounced himself pleased at the outcome. “Three is deﬁnitely good for Missouri, returning the power to redraw legislative districts to an equal number of Republicans and Democrats,” he added.

Presidential race “It doesn’t look good for the president right now,” said Wallingford, acknowledging President Donald Trump was behind in the still-being-counted Electoral College tally Wednesday afternoon. Wallingford, a Trump supporter, said a Democratic administration in Washington, if it happens, will undoubtedly mean higher taxes and more regulations for Missourians. “I know people frown on the president’s personality,” he said, adding, “We’re not electing somebody to date your daughter, we’re choosing someone because of their policies.” The federal response to COVID aside, Wallingford is clear on what he thinks of the incumbent. “(Trump’s) policies are excellent,” he said.

Jackson to observe cold-weather moratorium BY JEFF LONG

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN The City of Jackson has approximately 6,200 commercial and residential electricity customers and will follow the dictates of Missouri’s Cold Weather Rule, even though the county seat community technically does not have to do so. The moratorium, established by the Missouri

Public Service Commission (PSC) in 1977, forbids the cutoff of heat to customers under certain conditions during the winter months of November through March but municipally-owned systems, such as Jackson’s, are not under PSC jurisdiction. The rule was established, according to the PSC website, to allow customers in arrears on their electricity

bills the chance to arrange more lenient payment terms to avoid possible disconnection during the coldest period of the year. “We will abide by the rule,” said Dwain Hahs, Jackson’s mayor since 2015, aware the PSC’s moratorium applies when the temperature is predicted to dip below 32 degrees over a 24hour period. Jackson is one of 85 mu-

nicipalities in the Show Me State to directly provide electricity to its citizens and is the only one in Cape Girardeau County, according to the PSC’s online directory. “(Disconnection) doesn’t happen a lot anyway,” Hahs added. In Southeast Missouri, Sikeston, Kennett, Poplar Bluff and Malden also provide direct municipal electricity services.

Voters in St. Louis approve nonpartisan elections ASSOCIATED PRESS

patch reported city voters on Tuesday approved a measure requiring nonpartisan elections for mayor, comptroller, aldermanic president and alderman. The measure passed with nearly 70% approval. Under the new system,

the top two vote-getters in the March primary will face each other in the general election in April. The measure also allows residents to vote for as many primary candidates as they want. Supporters said the new

system ensures the ultimate winners have a broad base of support. St. Louis is overwhelmingly Democratic, so up until now, the winner of the March primary has almost always won the general election a month later.

ST. LOUIS — Starting with the primary election in March, St. Louis voters will pick their mayor and other elected officials on a nonpartisan basis. The St. Louis Post-Dis-

Trump, Parson win in Missouri BY SUMMER BALLENTINE

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Incumbent Republican Gov. Mike Parson won another four years in office, turning back a challenge from Democratic Auditor Nicole Galloway on Tuesday. Parson’s win is at least partially a referendum on his hands-off approach to the coronavirus, which has been surging in Missouri for months. Missourians also supported the reelection bid of Republican President Donald Trump, who, like Parson, has opposed things such as mask mandates. It was the ﬁrst run for governor for both candidates. Parson, a former sheriff who was elected lieutenant governor in 2016, moved into the top job two years ago after former Republican Gov. Eric Greitens resigned in the face of possible impeachment amid multiple scandals. Galloway’s pitch to voters was that Parson mangled his handling of the pandemic and she would do better, including by requiring people to wear face masks. Parson, who has resisted imposing virus restrictions and instead left it to individuals to act responsibly to prevent the spread of the disease, has insisted the state is managing the virus well and campaigned on his record in support of law enforcement. Meanwhile, four-term Republican Rep. Ann Wagner won reelection in her suburban St. Louis congressional district against Democratic state Sen. Jill Schupp in a race political experts had rated a toss-up. Here’s a look at the top issues and candidates in Missouri’s election:

Missouri lawmakers passed a law allowing anyone to vote by mail this year because of the pandemic, as long as they got their ballots notarized. As of Sunday, about 828,000 Missouri voters had cast early in-person or mail-in ballots. That’s nearly three times as many as were counted in the last presidential election.

Trump carries Missouri President Donald Trump carried Missouri for the second time. The Republican defeated former Democratic Vice President Joe Biden four years after he defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton by nearly 19 percentage points. Missouri, once considered a swing state, has become decidedly more conservative over the past two decades.

Missouri voters have passed a new redistricting measure that will override redistricting changes they adopted just two years ago. The 2018 “Clean Missouri” initiative required state House and Senate districts to be drawn to achieve “partisan fairness” and made Missouri the ﬁrst state to adopt a speciﬁc formula known as the “efficiency gap” to measure fairness. The Republican-led Legislature put an alternative proposal on the ballot to drop partisan fairness and competitiveness to the bot-

tom of the priority list for redistricting. It also abolishes the newly created position of a nonpartisan demographer to draft districts and instead makes a pair of bipartisan commissions responsible for that task, as they had been in the past.

Term limits Missouri voters rejected a ballot measure that would have limited the lieutenant governor, secretary of state, attorney general and state auditor to two four-year terms in office. Currently, only the governor and treasurer are restricted to eight years in office.

Secretary of state Republican Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft won a second four-year term in ofﬁce by staving off Democrat Yinka Faleti, a 44-year-old Army veteran who previously worked as executive director of the St. Louis-area racial equity group Forward through Ferguson. Ashcroft has supported requiring voters to show photo identiﬁcation at the polls. Faleti criticized Ashcroft’s handling of elections during the pandemic.

Attorney general Republican Attorney General Eric Schmitt won election to a full term. The governor appointed Schmitt attorney general in 2018 to replace former Attorney General Josh Hawley, who left office two years into his term to join the U.S. Senate. Schmitt had been serving as the state treasurer and previously was elected to the state Senate. Democrat Rich Finneran, a 36-year-old former assistant U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri, ran against him.

Treasurer Voters elected Republican Scott Fitzpatrick to a full term as state treasurer. Parson appointed Fitzpatrick to succeed Schmitt as treasurer after Schmitt left for the Attorney General’s Office in 2018. Fitzpatrick at the time was leading the budget committee in the state House. Democrat Vicki Lorenz Englund, a 46-year-old former state representative, campaigned to unseat him.

Lieutenant governor Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe won a full four-year term in ofﬁce by defeating Democrat Alissia Cannady, who performed well but ultimately lost a race to become Kansas City’s mayor last year. Parson appointed Kehoe lieutenant governor two years ago after Parson left the office to become governor when Greitens resigned. In Missouri, the governor and lieutenant governor are elected separately.

Congressional races Incumbents won reelection in seven of Missouri’s eight congressional districts, including Jason Smith in the 8th District. The exception was in the 1st District, which covers St. Louis and part of St. Louis County. Cori Bush, a nurse and racial justice activist, pulled an upset in the August primary by defeating longtime incumbent Democratic Rep. William Lacy Clay. Bush was elected Tuesday.
