David Robinson freed from prison ONLINE
BY BOB MILLER
SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — David Robinson walked away a free man Monday night, after nearly 18 years of being incarcerated for a murder he did not commit. His exoneration, which began May 1, was completed late Monday after some fierce legal wrangling. Finally, close to 10 p.m., the Department of Corrections relented its position. It temporarily argued the Supreme Court had ordered Robinson to be held for 30
days or for there to be a retrial. Robinson emerged from the prison into the lobby wearing in a red T-shirt, red shorts and a pair of black Nikes. He embraced his mother, Jennett, and his wife, Pat Jackson, and broke down in an emotional release. He thanked his attorneys,

Judge Darrell Missey and the family of Sheila Box — whom he had been convicted of murdering — for their support in his fight for freedom. But it had been unclear whether he would be released Monday, when the Department of Corrections stalled the process.
Robinson’s attorneys argued the Supreme Court ordered his release at a maximum of 30 days or the order of a retrial. Both the Missouri Attorney General’s Office and the Scott County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office issued statements the charges would be dismissed. It was the first time since 2000 that Missouri’s prosecutors would admit there is no case against Robinson for the Box’s murder. Robinson’s attorneys See ROBINSON, Page 3A
ST. LOUIS — Gov. Eric Greitens declared victory Monday as prosecutors abruptly dropped a felony invasion-of-privacy charge alleging he had taken a revealing photo of a woman with whom he has acknowledged having an affair. The St. Louis circuit attorney’s office said it hopes still to pursue the case, either through a special prosecutor or an appointed assistant. But Greitens’ attorneys said
the case was crumbling under a lack of evidence and doubted any charge would be refiled. The first-term Republican governor still faces plenty of other problems. The Legislature is to convene Friday in a monthlong special session to consider whether to impeach Greitens in an attempt to remove him from office. And Greitens still faces a second felony charge for allegedly disclosing a donor list from a St. Louis-based veterans’ charity he founded for use in his See GREITENS, Page 4A

New Buffalo Wild Wings location to open Friday on Siemers Drive BY MARYBETH NIEDERKORN
SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN
Staff members cleaning, planning, stocking paper goods, technicians counting and running lines, workers’ equipment whining — a flurry of activity indoors and out at the new Buffalo Wild Wings location at 211 Siemers Drive in Cape Girardeau shows they’re on track to open Friday. Franchise owner Bill Zell-
WEB:
mer confirmed the plan is to open the doors for business following a ribbon cutting at 10:30 a.m. Friday. The old B-Dubs closed its doors Monday at 2136 William St. in Town Plaza, Zellmer said, so the final move and finishing touches could take place. Zellmer said he’s excited to see the new place open up. “There’s a great sense of space,” Zellmer said. Ceilings are about double the
height of the old location’s, he said, and the new space is just so much more efficient. Efficiency is important in the restaurant business, Zellmer said. “It’ll feel bigger, more interactive,” Zellmer said, since the horseshoe-shaped bar is more centrally located in the new dining area. And there’s more of a sports-bar sense to the new spot, he added. Big televisions over the bar

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — A book nearly five decades overdue has been returned to the San Francisco Public Library. The copy of Eldridge Cleaver’s memoir “Soul On Ice” was due back at the Eureka Valley branch Dec. 9, 1970, making it 47 years, four months and 29 days late. The library’s late fee would’ve been $1,731.70 if it didn’t cap the fine at $10.01. The San Francisco Chronicle reported the paperback’s cover is detached from its spine and there’s a hole in the title page. A man at another branch last year returned his great-grandmother’s book titled “Forty Minutes Late” — but it was more than 100 years late. — Associated Press

Funding for autism services restored BY MARK BLISS
SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN The Missouri Legislature has restored funding for autism services as part of the fiscal 2019 budget approved last week, much to the relief of area providers, local lawmakers and those receiving such services. Lawmakers restored $3.7 million in state funding for the Missouri Autism Project and budgeted $200,000 for the Tailor Institute in Cape Girardeau, which had lost all of its state funding last year in what state Sen. Wayne Wallingford called “an oversight.” The Senate recently reduced funding for the Missouri Autism Project, but the money was restored when the budget bill went to a conference committee of House and Senate lawmakers to finalize the spending plan, state Rep. Kathy Swan, R-Cape Girardeau, said. As a result, autism services
FRED LYNCH ~ flynch@semissourian.com
The Autism Center at Southeast Missouri State University is seen Monday in Cape Girardeau. provided by various organizations throughout the state now will be funded through the Missouri Department of Mental Health at the same level as fiscal 2018, which included $1.55 million in autism services for the Southeast Missouri area. The funding includes $1.07 million for Easterseals Mid-
west, $423,000 for the Southeast Missouri State University Autism Center and $63,000 for Blue Sky Community Services. “We are just absolutely thrilled,” Julie Koch, a Cape Girardeau mother who has two sons with autism, said of the restored funding. She said the funding allows
her sons and others with autism to continue receiving therapy services, including behavior, speech and music therapy. “It is definitely a relief,” she said. The number of people with autism continues to grow, she said. Funding cuts would have meant the “waiting” time for children to be evaluated and provided services would have increased. The wait time currently can take more than a year, Koch said. That is a concern for families because “early intervention” is vital to helping people with autism to lead productive lives, she said. Melissa King, director of the Autism Center, said the center provides behavioral, speech and counseling services for individuals of all ages. The decision by lawmakers to restore state funding to last year’s level allows people with autism to receive therapy services at no charge to
themselves or their families, she said. Without state aid, some families would have to pay thousands of dollars a year for services, King said. “This is a big impact to our region,” she said, adding the center serves residents of 19 counties in Southeast Missouri. She credited parents of children with autism for raising their voices and lobbying lawmakers to restore the funding. “I think their voices were heard,” she said. Cheryl Smith, director of Blue Sky Community Services in Cape Girardeau, said her organization helps adults with autism obtain the skills needed to secure employment. “We are thrilled,” Smith said of the state funding. Rachel Masters, director of autism services for the regional office of Easterseals, said last month cutting funding would have decreased access to services.
Robinson From Page 1A were preparing an emergency Habeas writ, arguing the Missouri Department of Corrections was illegally holding Robinson prisoner when there were no charges against him and when his sentence had been vacated. But about 9:15 p.m., Robinson’s family received word the DOC’s attorneys ordered Robinson to be released, and prison employees returned to the Jefferson City Correctional Center to process Robinson. “At this point, there’s frustration, but I’m glad they’re going to do the right thing and he will be released tonight,” said Jim Wyrsch, one of Robinson’s attorneys. “He’s been in prison way too long, but I’m ecstatic he’s getting out.” Robinson’s family, having supported Robinson’s innocence for the duration of numerous appeals, endured a tumultuous emotional ride Monday. Having left Sikeston at 8 a.m., they arrived in Jefferson City about an hour before the attorney general was expected to make an announcement. Family members erupted in emotion when the AG’s letter was read aloud. Jennett McCaster, Robinson’s mother, dropped to her knees and exalted tearful prayers when hearing the words of the Missouri’s Attorney General’s Office: “After a thorough review of the order of the Missouri Supreme Court in State ex re.

Harbor Freight Tools is seen under construction Monday in a former movie theater building at the Town Plaza in Cape Girardeau.
Harbor Freight Tools to open this summer BY MARYBETH NIEDERKORN
SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN
In the former AMC Town Plaza 5 Cinema, construction is barreling along ahead of a late-summer open date for retail hardware store Harbor Freight. The 15,000-square-foot location will employ about 35 to 40 people, according to a company news release sent Monday. Harbor Freight has more than 850 stores nationwide, and was founded in 1977 in California. The Cape Girardeau store will join 21 other stores in Missouri, company president Eric Schmidt said in the release. Nearby stores include Poplar Bluff and Farmington, Missouri, and Paducah, Kentucky. Schmidt also said in the release the company has received a “warm welcome” in Cape Girardeau, and is thrilled at the opportunity to deliver “high quality tools at ridiculously low prices.” According to earlier reporting by the Southeast Missourian, the project was
originally set for completion in October 2017, but was delayed by “engineering challenges,” including removal of two load-bearing walls. Greater Missouri Builders, the St. Charles, Missouri, company that owns Town Plaza, typically renovates spaces for tenants, company president Scott Campbell told the Southeast Missourian in December. But late last year, Harbor Freight took over design and construction. Commercial real-estate broker Tom Kelsey told the Southeast Missourian in March the building needed to be gutted, and the original plan was challenging, but negotiations between tenant and landlord were ultimately successful. The soft opening for the store at 2136 William St. in Cape Girardeau is set for mid-July, with a grand opening Aug. 1, but those dates may change, the release stated.

Attorneys for David Robinson, from left, Steve Snodgrass, Javad Khazaeli and Charlie Weiss, gather outside of the Jefferson City Correctional Center after getting initial word Robinson will not be released Monday in Jefferson City, Missouri. David Robinson v. Jay Cassady … as well as an evaluation of the evidence available for a future retrial of State v. David Robinson … this office recommends that the pending criminal charges against David Robinson be dismissed and he be released from the custody of Jefferson City Correctional Center Warden Jay Cassady.” Later, Scott County Prosecutor Paul Boyd followed suit. Several family members quietly prayed inside the waiting room of the prison when learning Robinson might not be released right away. For a large portion of the day, Robinson’s family was kept in the dark as to why the prison would not release him. Robinson’s attorneys learned of several developments through media reports. Robinson was convicted of the murder of Box on the testimony of two jailhouse informants, one of whom
was paid more than $2,000 in a “witness protection” program. Both witnesses recanted their testimonies. Albert Baker, who originally testified he saw Robinson shoot Box, said he made up the story to get out of prison. Another man, Romanze Mosby, confessed the crime to several individuals, including once on tape to an investigator with the Missouri Public Defender’s Office, but Mosby refused to authenticate the recording with his signature, and the confession was not allowed as evidence in Robinson’s appeals. Judge Darrell Missey, a special master appointed by the Missouri Supreme Court, studied the case and recommended the exoneration to the Supreme Court. He heard the confession as part of the proceedings. He also was very critical of how the case was handled by the Sikeston (Missouri) Department of Public Safe-

A section of Bloomfield Road will be closed to traffic from Thursday afternoon until Friday morning for storm sewer repair, city officials said in a news release. Bloomfield Road will be shut down from South Broadview Street to Golden Street, starting at 4 p.m. Thursday. It will reopen at 6 a.m. Friday, weather and work permitting, city officials said. Detours will be available, and motorists are asked
ty as well as prosecutors. The Supreme Court ruled Robinson met a “gateway” claim of actual innocence, meaning his constitutional rights were violated. After Missey issued his ruling, the City of Sikeston contacted the U.S. Attorney’s Office to ask for an investigation into the case, and the lead detective, John Blakely, who resigned last week after being stripped of his gun and badge and moved to the city’s fire division. “The City of Sikeston, our city council, and the Department of Public Safety have said from the beginning that we would honor and respect the state courts and Missouri Attorney General’s decisions regarding David Robinson’s case,” city manager Jonathan Douglass said in an emailed statement. “The situation has been a difficult one for our community, and especially for the families involved. We will continue to move forward to ensure that we have a community that offers opportunity and quality of life to all of our citizens.” Robinson said he was glad Sikeston’s police were exposed throughout his proceedings, and said he would not return to Sikeston for fear of the police. Robinson admitted his misdeeds and lifestyle, for which he served prison time. But he always maintained his innocence for the Box murder. “I know I’m being held to a higher standard,” Robinson said about life going forward. “I can only say it’s only just begun.” bmiller@semissourian.com (573) 388-3625

Carrie Tracy, director of the Tailor Institute, welcomed the opportunity to once again receive state aid through the Missouri Department of Economic Development (DED). The institute has limped since losing its $200,000 in state aid, its major source of funding, last year. “It has been a tumultuous year,” Tracy said. “We are operating month to month,” she said, adding the institute has survived thanks to the generosity of donors. “We are secure through June,” Tracy said. While Swan has indicated the state funding is in place for the Tailor Institute, Tracy said her organization must apply to DED for the funding. She said she is optimistic the institute, which focuses on fostering vocational skills for people 16 and older who have autism, will receive the state aid.

Greitens displayed ambition, from childhood through career BY DAVID A. LIEB
ASSOCIATED PRESS JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — From childhood onward, Eric Greitens has been ambitious. He’s been a scholar, humanitarian, military officer, charity executive, author and public speaker. Now Missouri’s governor, Greitens was facing trial this week on a felony invasion-of-privacy charge stemming from an extramarital affair. No trial date has been set on a second felony charge of tampering with computer data for using a charity donor list for his political campaign. Here’s a brief look at the path of Greitens’ life:
Childhood Born April 10, 1974, Greitens grew up in the St. Louis area in a family of five. His mother, Becky, taught early-childhood special education. His father, Rob, worked as an accountant for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. He has two younger brothers, Marc and Aaron. Family friends from suburban St. Louis have said Greitens began talking in elementary school already about wanting to become president. His heroes in kindergarten included President Theodore Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. He graduated from Parkway North High School in 1992.
College Greitens attended Duke University on a scholarship and received a bachelor’s degree in ethics in 1996. While there, he learned to box and participated in several foreign humanitarian trips. He volunteered at a Bosnian refugee camp in Croatia and traveled to Rwanda and Zaire as a volunteer U.N. photographer. After graduating, he traveled on a photography grant to a Bolivian home for street children. He then attended Oxford University in England as a Rhodes Scholar, receiving a master’s degree in develop-
Greitens From Page 1A political campaign. Missouri lawmakers say they’re still moving forward with an investigation of Greitens. Republican House and Senate leaders in joint statements Monday said lawmakers’ work is separate from the dropped felony invasion-of-privacy charge against the Republican governor. House Speaker Todd Richardson, House Speaker Pro Tem Elijah Haahr and House Majority Floor Leader Rob Vescovo said in a statement they’re still waiting for a recommendation from a special House committee on whether to impeach Greitens. The House leaders say the dropped case now means Greitens can testify before the House committee, which he so far has not done. Greitens, who has long denied any criminal wrongdoing, emerged from the courthouse Monday with at least a momentary vindication. “Today the prosecutor has dropped the false charges against me. This is a great victory, and it has been a long time coming,” Greitens told reporters out-

Classmates again noticed his ambition. Greitens married Rebecca Wright in October 2000; they divorced a little over two years later while living in California.
Military Greitens joined the Navy in January 2001 and became a SEAL officer. He went to Afghanistan for several weeks on a special deployment before leading a boat detachment for a deployment to Southeast Asia. While in Thailand, Greitens learned of drug use by Navy personnel and initiated an investigation that led to their ouster. In the Philippines, Greitens’ crew effectively shut down a transit site for a terrorist organization, according to an evaluation report. He spent three months in charge of a 50-person unit in Manda Bay, Kenya, near the Somali border. He then left full-time active duty to take a one-year White House fellowship. Greitens simultaneously remained in the Navy Reserves, leading a program that recruited high-level advisers for special military operations around the world. After his fellowship, Greitens volunteered for a six-month tour
side the St. Louis circuit courthouse. “This experience has been humbling and I have emerged from it a changed man.” The prosecutor’s surprise move, announced after the third day of jury selection, came after the judge granted a request by Greitens’ lawyers to call St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner as a witness. Greitens’ defense team has repeatedly criticized Gardner’s handling of the case, particularly her hiring of private investigator William Tisaby, whom Greitens’ lawyers have accused of perjury. “The court’s order places the Circuit Attorney in the impossible position of being a witness, subject to cross-examination,” including by her own subordinates, Gardner spokeswoman Susan Ryan said in a statement. It “leaves the Circuit Attorney no adequate means of proceeding with this trial,” Ryan said. “Therefore, the court has left the Circuit Attorney with no other legal option than to dismiss and refile this matter.” She said a decision will be made later to either seek a special prosecutor or appoint one of Gardner’s assistants to proceed. Greitens, 44, was charged with felony invasion of pri-
in Iraq beginning in October 2006. He was wounded when suicide bombers detonated trucks carrying chlorine gas at a Fallujah complex where military personnel were sleeping. His deployment ended as scheduled a little more than a week later.
Democrat, Greitens became a Republican as he began laying the groundwork to run for office. He officially launched a fundraising committee in February 2015 and has since acknowledged his campaign used a Mission Continues donor list to solicit money. Greitens won a closely contested GOP primary in August 2016 against businessman John Brunner, then-Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder and former U.S. attorney and Missouri House Speaker Catherine Hanaway. In a TV ad, Greitens fired a large gun and cast himself as a political outsider ready to combat perceived corruption in Jefferson City. He defeated Democratic Attorney General Chris Koster in the November election and took office in January 2017.

Pearl Harbor sailor remains returned to Missouri, buried ASSOCIATED PRESS DIAMOND, Mo. — The remains of a U.S. Navy sailor killed during the attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii have been returned to Missouri to be buried with full military honors. Clifford George Goodwin had been resting in a common grave at the National Cemetery of the Pacific in Hawaii for decades, the Springfield News-Leader reported. New DNA analysis has identified the remains of more than 130 soldiers lost during the Pearl Harbor attack, including Goodwin. Goodwin was serving aboard the USS Oklahoma

During his first year in office, Greitens signed a longsought Republican priority barring mandatory union fees in workplace contracts, though it has been put on hold pending a voter referendum later this year. He called special sessions to enact abortion restrictions and incentives for metal manufacturers. Greitens also championed veterans, law officers and firefighters. Shortly after delivering his State of the State address in January, Greitens acknowledged having an affair in 2015. That led to an indictment in St. Louis on a felony invasion-of-privacy charge alleging he took and transmitted a nonconsensual nude photo of the woman. The House then began its own investigation of Greitens, which could lead to impeachment. In April, Greitens was charged in St. Louis with a second felony of tampering with computer data for allegedly disclosing a Mission Continues donor list to his political fundraiser in 2015 without the charity’s permission.
vacy for allegedly taking and transmitting a photo of an at least partially nude woman without her permission in 2015. If convicted, Greitens could have faced up to four years in prison. Greitens has denied criminal wrongdoing but has declined to directly answer questions about whether he took the photo. Earlier Monday, Greitens’ attorneys said in court that prosecutors had stopped searching for evidence of the photo after failing to find it on Greitens’ cellphone or in cloud storage. “The case was going nowhere. There was no evidence to support any of the elements,” Greitens’ attorney Jim Bennett told reporters after the charge was dropped. Defense attorneys have cited a litany of concerns about Gardner’s handling of the case. Among other things, they accused Tisaby, a former FBI agent, of lying when he said he did not take notes when he and Gardner on Jan. 29 interviewed the woman involved in the affair. A video of the interview belatedly provided to defense lawyers appears to show Tisaby taking notes. Greitens has rejected calls to resign from both Republicans and Democrats since he first admitted in January
he had an affair before he was elected governor in 2016. The woman, who has been identified only as K.S. in court filings, has testified Greitens bound her hands to exercise equipment in March 2015 in the basement of his St. Louis home, blindfolded her and removed her clothes before she saw a flash and heard what sounded like the click of a cellphone camera. She has said Greitens threatened to disseminate the photo if she spoke of their encounter but later told her he had deleted it. Greitens’ indictment in February prompted the Missouri House to launch its own investigation. It released a report in April containing more testimony from the woman that Greitens had restrained, slapped, shoved, threatened and belittled her during a series of sexual encounters that at times left her crying and afraid. The committee released a second report May 2 with testimony about how Greitens’ gubernatorial campaign had used a donor list from The Mission Continues without the charity’s permission. A trial date has not yet been set for the charge he faces in St. Louis for allegedly disclosing the donor list to his political fundraiser.

Charity Returning home to St. Louis, Greitens founded The Mission Continues in 2007 to help military veterans gain work skills and a sense of purpose by providing fellowships for them to work at other charitable organizations. He put in a few thousand dollars to help launch the charity and initially worked without a salary. As the organization grew, Greitens eventually earned $175,000 annually. In August 2011, Greitens married Sheena Chestnut and they now have two sons, Joshua and Jacob. Greitens stepped down as CEO of The Mission Continues in July 2014 but remained on the board until September 2015, according to the charity’s IRS filings. While at the charity, Greitens also built a career as an author and motivational speaker, booking events through his personal company The Greitens Group.

His brother, Dan Goodwin, also was serving on the USS Oklahoma at the time, but he was on shore during the attack. He searched for his brother for days. Clifford George Goodwin was later announced missing in action. More than 100 family, community and U.S. Navy members honored Goodwin at a funeral service Saturday in Diamond. “Today a hero has come home,” the Rev.

ST. LOUIS — Missouri residents may see political signs in areas where they previously were restricted under new legislation. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported lawmakers passed a bill last week to prohibit homeowners’ associations from banning political signs in some suburban subdivisions. The measure bars deed restrictions, covenants or other binding agreements not al-
lowing political signs to be displayed. The change could come in time for the Nov. 6 general election if signed by Gov. Eric Greitens. Republican Rep. Kurt Bahr sponsored the legislation, saying subdivision bans violate free speech rights. The legislation could still allow for homeowners’ associations to adopt “reasonable rules” regarding how signs are displayed, or ban signs from common areas.

Immigration crackdown shifts to employers
Republicans celebrate opening of U.S. embassy in Jerusalem
BY ELLIOT SPAGAT
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Immigration officials have sharply increased audits of companies to verify their employees are authorized to work in the country, signaling the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration is reaching deeper into the workplace to create a “culture of compliance” among employers who rely on immigrant labor. Expansive plans also have been drafted for a long-term push to scrutinize employers’ hiring practices more closely. Under a 1986 federal law, companies must verify their employees are authorized to work in the United States by reviewing their documents and verifying to the government the employees’ identity and work authorization. If employers are found to hire someone without proper documents, the employers may be subject to administrative fines and, in some cases, criminal prosecution. The recent focus on employers comes after a surge of deportation arrests of workers starting immediately after President Donald Trump took office in January 2017. The crackdown is likely to please immigration hawks among Trump’s supporters but may alienate industries and companies relying on immigrant labor. There were 2,282 employer audits opened between Oct. 1 and May 4, U.S. Im-
migration and Customs Enforcement said Monday, nearly a 60 percent jump from the 1,360 audits opened between October 2016 and September 2017. Many of those reviews were launched following the January ICE audits and employee interviews at about 100 7-Eleven franchises in 17 states. There were 594 employers arrested on criminal immigration charges from Oct. 1 to May 4, up from 139 during the previous fiscal year, and 610 civil immigration charges during the same period, compared to 172 in the preceding 12-months. Derek Benner, head of ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations unit, told The Associated Press another nationwide wave of audits planned this summer would push the total “well over” 5,000 by Sept 30. ICE audits peaked at 3,127 in 2013. The agency has developed a plan to open as many as 15,000 audits a year, subject to funding and support for the plan from other areas of the administration, Benner said. The proposal calls for creation of an Employer Compliance Inspection Center to perform employer audits at a single location instead of at regional offices around the country, Benner said. Electronically scanning the documents will help flag suspicious activity, and the most egregious cases will be farmed out to regional offices for more investigation. Audit notices will be served electronically or by certified mail, instead of in person.
BY STEVE PEOPLES AND ARON HELLER JERUSALEM — The opening of the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem attracted more than a dozen Republican members of Congress, two billionaire GOP fundraisers and the president’s eldest daughter, putting on a display of political muscle and Republican unity rare for the Trump era. Even as it sparked deadly protests in the Mideast, President Donald Trump’s decision to relocate the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem united a cross-section of the GOP. It injected new energy into the evangelical movement, which has long wanted the embassy moved because of the deep religious significance of the area. And it pleased big donors and allowed Trump to claim another campaign promise kept. “Above all else, we’ve shown that the United States of America will do what’s right. And so we have,” declared Trump’s chief Mideast adviser, son-in-law Jared Kushner. The celebration underscored the power of the evangelical wing of the party, which has set aside early skepticism of Trump to deliver some the president’s most loyal — and rewarded — backers. The outpouring of support Tuesday, initiated by a president who isn’t steeped in the complex issues, even surprised some of the movement leaders. “This is one thing that’s most visible, tangible, recognizable by the evangelical community,” said Tony Perkins, who leads the social conservative Family Research Council. “It’s actually taken me aback a bit to see

U.S. President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump, right, and U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin attend the opening ceremony Monday of the new U.S. embassy in Jerusalem. just how strongly this is received.” Top officials with the Republican National Committee, along with a delegation of four Republican senators, 10 Republican congressmen and one Republican governor, cheered Kushner from the gallery. The RNC’s new finance chairman Tom Ricketts attended. The GOP’s most powerful political donor, casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, watched from the front row minutes earlier as Ivanka Trump and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin unveiled the embassy’s new facade. “I did it for my constituents — their love and affection for the people of Israel,” said Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., who organized the U.S. delegation’s visit. He was also
pleased by the Adelson family’s reaction. “Just to see their joy was a moment of happiness for me,” Wilson said of Adelson, who in recent days donated $30 million to a super PAC focused on helping the House GOP retain its majority this fall. Amid this week’s parades and receptions across Israel, however, partisan divisions back home were rising to the surface. Not a single elected Democrat attended the celebration in Israel. Most were silent Monday as the ceremony unfolded on television. A few, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, issued written statements of support. “Every nation should have the right to choose its
capital. I sponsored legislation to do this two decades ago, and I applaud President Trump for doing it,” the top Senate Democrat said in a rare moment of agreement with the Republican president. The politics on the left are far more complicated. Liberal groups such as Indivisible have opposed moving the embassy, warning it would be provoke violence and demolish trust with the Palestinians, who want East Jerusalem as a future capital. Violence broke out along the Israel-Gaza border Monday, leaving more than 50 Palestinians dead. The move appeared to end, at least for now, America’s chances of becoming a neutral peace broker in the Middle East.

Leilani Estates resident Sam Knox watches the lava stretch across the road in Pahoa, Hawaii. Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano has spewed lava into the air, destroyed homes, forced residents into shelters and agitated an otherwise cheerful, small community where everyone is a neighbor.
Volcano eruption costs tourism industry millions ASSOCIATED PRESS PAHOA, Hawaii — People nixing vacations to Hawaii’s Big island has cost the tourism industry millions of dollars as the top attraction, Kilauea volcano, keeps spewing lava. Cancellations from May through July have hit at least $5 million, said Ross Birch, executive director of the island’s tourism board. The booking pace for hotels and other activities, such as tours for lava viewing, zip lines and glass bottom boats have fallen 50 percent. A handful of cruise ships have also decided not to come into port even in Kona on the west side of the island, about 80 miles away from the volcano. This is the “first leak we’re seeing out of the bucket,” Birch said. Tourism is one of Hawaii’s biggest industries and a big part of the local economy. The Big Island topped other islands in the archipelago pulling in $2.5 billion in revenue last year. On Monday, another fissure spewing lava and unhealthy gas opened up, and a crack in the Earth emerging a day earlier was sending molten rock on a slow run for
the ocean, officials said. The National Weather Service has warned residents of “light ashfall” throughout the day in Kau, the island’s southernmost district, after a burst of volcanic emissions around 9 a.m. Nearly 20 fissures have opened since the Kilauea volcano started erupting 12 days ago, and officials warn it may soon blow its top with a massive steam eruption. A fissure opening Sunday led authorities to order 10 people to flee their homes, Hawaii County Managing Director Wil Okabe said. Overall, nearly 2,000 people have been told to evacuate since May 3. The U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said the flow from the crack emerging Sunday was heading on a path to take it to the ocean. No homes or roads were threatened by the flow. Lava on Sunday spread across hundreds of yards of private land and loud explosions rocked the neighborhood not far from the Leilani Estates subdivision, where more than a dozen other active vents opened over the past week.
WASHINGTON — First lady Melania Trump underwent a “successful” procedure Monday to treat a benign kidney condition and was expected to remain hospitalized for the rest of the week, her staff said. President Donald Trump took a helicopter to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to visit her and tweeted his wife was in “good spirits.” Mrs. Trump, 48, had the embolization procedure Monday morning. The president spoke with Mrs. Trump before the procedure and with her doctor afterward, the first lady’s office said. The president tweeted shortly before arriving at Walter Reed outside Wash-
ington, saying it was a “successful procedure,” describing his wife as being “in good spirits” and offering his thanks “to all of the well-wishers!” He spent more than an hour at the hospital before departing, without addressing waiting reporters. The White House did not offer any additional details on Mrs. Trump’s condition, though Vice President Mike Pence described the procedure as “long planned” as he opened a speech at an evening event celebrating Israel’s independence. “Melania is already on the mend,” Pence said. In the Senate, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., sent well wishes for “a speedy recovery to the first lady.” She was last seen in public Wednesday at a White
House event where she and the president honored military mothers and spouses for Mother’s Day. Two urologists who have no personal knowledge of Mrs. Trump’s condition said the most likely explanation for the procedure is a kind of noncancerous kidney tumor called an angiomyolipoma. They’re not common but tend to occur in middle-aged women and can cause problematic bleeding if they become large enough, said Dr. Keith Kowalczyk of MedStar Georgetown University Hospital. “The treatment of choice” is to cut off the blood supply so the growth shrinks, added Dr. Lambros Stamatakis of MedStar Washington Hospital Center. Doctors do so with an emboliza-
tion, meaning a catheter is snaked into the blood vessels of the kidney to find the right one and block it. Most of the time, these benign tumors are found when people undergo medical scans for another reason, but sometimes people have pain or other symptoms, Kowalczyk said. Many times, embolization patients go home the same day or the next. The president had no official public appearances Monday and declined to answer shouted questions from reporters about his wife as he departed the White House for Walter Reed. The former model from Slovenia is Trump’s third wife and the couple has been married for 13 years. They have a 12-year-old son, Barron.

The annual May worship service is conducted at 172-year-old Apple Creek Presbyterian Church near Pocahontas in the morning, with the Rev. Bill Bernauer, a supply pastor at Lutesville (Missouri) Presbyterian Church, preaching the sermon; this historic church no longer serves a congregation, but is maintained and kept active through the Apple Creek Memorial Association. The Boyd Group of Las Vegas has pledged it will make a $37.5 million capital investment in Cape Girardeau, if voters approve riverboat gambling in the city next week; the company revealed its proposal for a riverfront development and floating casino at a news conference Friday.

Workers tear down a wooden wall and move a walkway about five feet inward on Broadway in front of the new U.S. Courthouse and Federal Office Building, which representative architect Thomas E. Phillips says is about 75 percent complete; workers placed the walkway and wall in front of the site in March 1967, when construction began. The Eugene Luhr Co. of Columbia, Illinois, has been awarded the contract to build the small-boat harbor at Trail of Tears State Park; the harbor, being financed jointly by the state and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, will be built at Moccasin Springs.

Cape Girardeau County Court is considering constructing a temporary building at the County Home for the care of emergency cases of tuberculosis and other communicable diseases; there are a number of tuberculosis cases in the county, and the court has been unable to get places for them at the state’s tubercular sanatorium at Mount Vernon, Missouri, or the Jasper County Hospital at Webb City, Missouri. Ivy McLain, 72, for 42 consecutive years a justice of the peace at Neelys Landing, dies of a heart ailment at a local hospital; McLain was born Aug. 14, 1870, at Oriole; he is survived by his wife, the former Lillie Statler, and two sons, three daughters, four brothers and a half sister.

Judge Benjamin F. Davis, one of Cape Girardeau’s most distinguished residents, drowned last evening in the great diversion channel a few miles south of Cape Girardeau, and his body isn’t found until this morning; Davis, with his law partner, Benson C. Hardesty, had spent the day viewing the effects of the flood and were returning to their starting point in a flat-bottom boat, when it overturned. Superintendent C.H. Claiborn of the Frisco Railroad says train service to the south of Cape Girardeau will positively be resumed tomorrow morning, unless something out of the ordinary occurs and stops his workers, who are replacing the bridge at Ranney’s Switch, which was washed out by the floods Sunday.
UN health agency aims to wipe out trans fats worldwide BY MIKE STOBBE
ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — The World Health Organization has released a plan to help countries wipe out trans fats from the global food supply in the next five years. The United Nations agency has in the past pushed to exterminate infectious diseases, but now it’s aiming to erase a hazard linked to chronic illness. In a statement Monday, the U.N. health agency said eliminating trans fats is critical to preventing deaths worldwide. WHO estimates eating trans fats — commonly found in baked and processed foods — leads to the deaths of more than 500,000 people from heart disease every year. “It’s a crisis level, and it’s major front in our fight now,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Monday at a news conference in Geneva. Officials think it can be done in five years because the work is well underway in many countries. Denmark did it 15 years ago, and since then the United States and more than 40 other higher-income countries have been working on getting the heart-clogging additives out of their food supplies. The WHO is now pushing middle- and lower-income countries to pick up the fight, said Dr. Francesco Branca, director of the WHO’s Department of Nutrition for Health and Development. Artificial trans fats are unhealthy substances created when hydrogen is added to vegetable oil to make it solid, like in the creation of margarine or shortening. Health experts say they can be replaced with canola oil or other products. There are also naturally occurring trans fats in some meats and dairy products. The WHO recommends no more than 1 percent of a person’s calories come from trans fats. “Trans fats are a harmful compound that can be removed easily without major cost and without any impact on the quality of the foods,” Branca said. Countries will likely have

A Milky-Way candy bar is deep-fried in oil free of trans fats at a food booth at the Indiana State Fair in Indianapolis in 2007. Indiana was the first state to require the switch at its state fair. The head of the World Health Organization called Monday on all nations to eliminate artificial trans fats from foods in the next five years. to use regulation or legislation to get food makers to make the switch, experts said. At the WHO news conference Monday, a representative from a leading food industry trade group said companies are working to reduce trans fats in their products. “We call on food producers in our sector to take prompt action and we stand ready to support effective measures to work toward the elimination of industrially produced trans fats and ensure a level playing field in this area,” said Rocco Rinaldi, secretary-general of the International Food and Beverage Alliance. Dr. Tom Frieden, a former director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention who worked with WHO officials on the call to action, called its move unprecedented. “The world is now setting its sights on today’s leading killers — particularly heart disease, which kills more people than any other cause in almost every country,” said Frieden, president of Resolve to Save Lives, a New-York-based project of an organization called Vital Strategies. In the U.S., the first trans fatty food to hit the market was Crisco shortening, which went on sale in 1911. Trans fatty foods became increasingly popular beginning in the 1950s, partly because experts at the time thought they were healthi-
er than cooking with butter or lard. Food makers liked artificial trans fats because they prolonged product shelf life. They used them in doughnuts, cookies and deep-fried foods. But studies gradually revealed trans fats wreck cholesterol levels in the blood and drive up the risk of heart disease. Health advocates say trans fats are the most harmful fat in the food supply. In the U.S., New York City in 2006 banned restaurants from serving food with trans fats. The same year the FDA required manufacturers to list trans fat content information on food labels. Many manufacturers cut back, and studies showed trans fat levels in the blood of middle-aged U.S. adults fell by nearly 60 percent by the end of the decade. In 2015, the FDA took steps to finish the job of eliminating trans fats, calling for manufacturers to stop selling trans fatty foods by June 18, 2018. FDA officials have not said how much progress has been made or how they will enforce their rule against food makers that don’t comply. “The removal of trans fats from the food supply as an additive counts as one of the major public health victories of the last decade,” said Laura MacCleery, policy director for the Washington, D.C.-based advocacy group, Center for Science in the Public Interest.

European spy chiefs warn of threats from Russia, IS BY FRANK JORDANS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BERLIN — European intelligence chiefs warned Monday Russia is actively seeking to undermine their democracies by disinformation, cyberattacks and more traditional means of espionage. The heads of Britain and Germany’s domestic intelligence agencies, as well as the European Union and NATO’s top security officials, pinpointed Moscow as the prime source of hybrid threats to Europe, citing attempts to manipulate elections, steal sensitive data and spark a coup in Montenegro. They also cited the chemical attack against a former Russian spy in Britain this year Britain has blamed on Russia. “Our respect for Russia’s people (...) cannot and must not stop us from calling out and pushing back on the Kremlin’s flagrant breaches of international rules,” the head of Britain’s MI5 spy agency, Andrew Parker, told an intelligence gathering in Berlin. Parker branded the attack on Sergei Skripal and his daughter in Salisbury an act of “criminal thuggery” swiftly followed by Russian attempts to divert blame. That resulted in at least 30
alternative theories about the attack being spread by Russian authorities and media. “Whatever nonsense they conjure up, the case is clear,” said Parker, adding there was no doubt about the origin of the attack against Skripal. Germany’s domestic intelligence chief, Hans-Georg Maassen, said his agency, known as BfV, blames Russian authorities for orchestrating a persistent cyberattack aimed at stealing sensitive data so it can be used in future intelligence campaigns, such as what happened with the Democratic National Committee emails leaked during the 2016 U.S. presidential election campaign. Maassen said authorities are particularly concerned about the possible funding of extremist groups aiming to divide European societies, and he called for greater awareness of hybrid attacks to counter such threats. Sir Julian King, the EU’s security commissioner, warned social media had “turbocharged” state actors’ ability to spread disinformation, citing the recent revelations about Cambridge Analytica’s gathering of personal data from Facebook users to help manipulate elections.
California serial killings suspect fights against release of police documents ASSOCIATED PRESS SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A 72-year-old former police officer accused of being one of California’s most elusive serial killers appeared in a courtroom cage used for defendants in jail Monday as a judge put off a decision on whether to release search and arrest warrants in the case. Prosecutors allege Joseph DeAngelo is the Golden State Killer responsible for at least a dozen murders and about 50 rapes in the 1970s and 1980s. The Associated Press and other news outlets are seeking to unseal details related to the arrest and search warrants prosecutors obtained in April, arguing they will provide important details about how prosecutors identified DeAngelo and what evidence they have gathered from him. DeAngelo’s public defender, Diane Howard, says the information should remain shielded from public view because it could taint jurors and witnesses. In a motion, Howard said the arrest warrants include evidence and details about rapes DeAngelo is accused of committing, which wouldn’t be permissible at trial. Prosecutors have searched DeAngelo’s home
in a suburb outside Sacramento and recently obtained warrants to search his cellphone and computer. They just turned over information about what evidence they already have gathered to Howard. The parties will be back in court May 29 to argue over what should be made public. Prosecutors don’t object to unsealing the records. At the brief hearing Mon-
day, DeAngelo appeared inside the barred-in area of the courtroom. He had previously been handcuffed to a wheelchair outside the area alongside his attorneys. He has not entered a plea. District attorneys from Sacramento, Santa Barbara, Orange and Ventura counties met last week to discuss where DeAngelo may be tried and who will prosecute.

King warned of future threats posed by sophisticated fake videos undiscernible from real footage, calling it an example of a “deadly weapon of mass disinformation” societies need to find ways of becoming resilient to. NATO’s assistant secretary general for intelligence and security, Arndt Freytag von Loringhoven, said the price of launching hybrid attacks needs to increase, citing the expulsion of 150 undeclared spies by Britain and its allies in the wake of the Salisbury attack. Intelligence chiefs also noted the continued threat posed by Islamist extremism and the need to cooperate closely among European agencies, despite Britain’s departure from the EU next year. Parker, whose speech in Berlin was the first by a serving MI5 director outside Britain, said security agencies had thwarted 12 terrorist plots in the U.K. since Parliament was attacked in March 2017. “We remain unwaveringly and absolutely committed to working together with European partners,” he said, calling for security cooperation to be enshrined in future treaties between Britain and the EU.

OUR OPINION
Essex, Redinger to be applauded for willingness to serve Ward 5 The Cape Girardeau City Council recently selected Ryan Essex as the temporary Ward 5 Cape Girardeau City Council member. The council seat was previously held by Bob Fox who was elected mayor in April. There were two candidates for the temporary position, Essex and Eric “Red” Redinger. Essex is chief operating officer with Gibson Recovery Center. Redinger is the associate director of recreation services at Southeast Missouri State University. A third applicant for the temporary position, Kyle Schott, regional director of Catholic Charities of Southern Missouri, withdrew his application from consideration. Essex indicated an interest in running to fill the remainder of the unexpired council term. A special election would take place either Aug. 7 or Nov. 6, depending on how many candidates file. The filing period is now open and ends May 22. Serving on the city council is a commitment. We extend our thanks to the applicants and wish Essex all the best as he joins the council as the temporary selection.

TO THE EDITOR
Medicare overpays for Rx drugs President Trump was elected in part on a promise to “drain the swamp” and change the way things had been done in Washington. One of the targets he hit hard in his campaign was the ridiculous profits drug companies were making and promised to work to change that. His “program” was recently released, and it is a joke. While he talks about negotiating and working to reduce costs, he has left seniors and anyone on Medicare out in the cold. Medicare is the single largest consumer of medicines and assistive devices (wheelchairs, canes, etc.) Yet by law, for the benefit of drug companies, Medicare may not negotiate with the force of that buying power. Instead, Medicare has to pay an average of the market cost. Why? Because the drug companies have better lobbies, and our representatives don’t care. There have been studies done that if those restrictions were removed and Medicare could dicker for costs like any company, it would save the government $16 billion dollars a year. There would be a reduction for seniors on copays and deductibles with the lower prices as well. So, the prices of drugs for those on Medicare would go down, if we let the market operate, and the government would have $16 billion in savings. Win-win, right? We know from his plan that President Trump is keeping the swamp, because he is not proposing this. I challenge Rep. Smith, and our senators to push the President to change this. MICHAEL MAGUIRE, Cape Girardeau
Mental health awareness month It is believed by most people that mental health is just as important as physical health. Despite this, many people don’t know how to have a conversation about it. Talking about mental health can be awkward, but it can really help. If you find a loved one in a mental health crisis, seize the awkward! In August of 2014 my family lost a beautiful soul. My cousin, Renee, was a loving, caring, beautiful person who found herself lost in a battle with depression. She fought hard, but kept on a downward spiral which eventually ended in suicide. Depression is the most common condition associated with suicide. There is no single cause to suicide. It most often occurs when stressors exceed coping abilities of someone suffering from a mental health condition. Too many people at risk for suicide do not seek help. We need to find better ways to reach those who suffer, and encourage schools, workplaces and communities to make mental health a priority. Not all mental health conditions result in the most drastic way of a loved one unable to battle the demons, but suicide is rising statistically and we need to make it our mission to ensure our loved ones know there is help. It is crucial to be attentive, understanding, and willing to go the extra mile to ensure all beautiful souls on earth feel the purpose in life they were given.

‘Sorry’ can’t fix this W
hen was the last time something reminded you how fragile life is? For me, it was a little more than a week ago. A 44-year-old friend left his home for a walk and never returned. DRIENNE Just like that, he was OSS gone. Originally, the report was that a distracted, texting driver hit and killed Steve Flesher of Illinois. Later, news reports indicated the blood alcohol level of the man who hit him was twice the limit. So whether it was the alcohol only or the alcohol combined with texting, the bottom line is that in the blink of an eye, Steve was dead. Yes, life is fragile. Many of us, those who are wise, have realized we cannot approach our daily doings with our heads buried, oblivious to what’s going on around us — although, truth be told, we do spend too many moments engrossed in our phones and would not even notice if the sky landed around us. But with the world’s state of affairs, many are now taking notice of who enters a place, who approaches us, where exits are located. I do. I even turn my head and look every time someone enters the church sanctuary. When I hear that door open, I look. Evil people are looking to do harm, so the rest of us need to pay attention. I won’t live in fear, but I won’t live in foolishness, either. Nonetheless, some things we just cannot prepare for. Some things do not give us time to react. Some things happen in an instant without our be-
A R
ing able to process them. That’s what happened to my friend. Police said Cyle Smith-Colbert was driving “east … and then drove into the westbound lane all the way to the shoulder and hit Flesher.” Before hearing all the details, before hearing about alcohol, upon originally hearing the driver was texting, believe it or not, my heart went out to him. I cannot imagine what a person who meant no harm would feel knowing he had killed someone. True, a person in that situation should have counted the cost ahead of time, but knowing your choice took a life has to be unbearable, has to be something you would give anything to change if you are a decent human being. But this reminds me of what I used to tell students: “Some things ‘sorry’ can’t fix.” When you get on kids’ cases for doing something careless that hurts someone, they love to wield a phrase they think is a cure-all: “I said, ‘Sorry.’” Well, that’s great. But “sorry” doesn’t restore an eye that was poked out when you threw a pencil across the room. “Sorry” doesn’t resuscitate the friend you punched in the chest, who then collapsed. And “sorry” doesn’t resurrect the young man out for a walk whom you mowed down because you had too much to drink and with debilitated faculties got behind the wheel. As agile and astute and aware as we like to think we are, none of those things are enough to save us in a moment like Steve found himself in. Steve was a successful accountant and a talented writer with a sharp mind, yet none of that saved his life; he had no time to utilize any of those qualities. Indeed, life is fragile.
A few days after Steve’s accident, I was again reminded of how quickly things happen. I was in a car accident late Tuesday afternoon. The driver just didn’t see me. Mistakes happen. We call them accidents — meaning, “Oops.” He was most apologetic. But, again, “Sorry” and “Oops” don’t erase damage. It could have gone down a lot worse, so without delving into details of the wreck, which transpired in an instant, I’ll just say I am fine, and he is fine, thank God. Our cars? Well, that’s another story, but hey, cars are replaceable. My point is I realized yet again the fragility of life. In a breath, worlds can change. I’m grateful I was not on my Harley. If he didn’t see me in my small car — a “roller skate,” as a friend not-so-affectionately calls it! — it’s still larger than my motorcycle, so he wouldn’t have seen me on that, either. The question I leave with you is the question with which I started: When was the last time something reminded you how fragile life is? It shouldn’t take tragedies or near-tragedies to remind us, but we’re dust creatures, and we forget. Perhaps if we pondered this more often, we would live differently. Perhaps we would love the so-called unlovable. Perhaps we would manage to defend our political persuasions without being ugly to those who disagree. After all, most of what we fight about may no longer matter — in a heartbeat. Adrienne Ross is owner of Adrienne Ross Communications and a former Southeast Missourian editorial board member.

GUEST COMMENTARY
Missouri should consider high-tech coal plants BY TERRY JARRETT
C
oal is in the news again, thanks to the Trump Administration. But this time there’s a new wrinkle. The administration is aiming for a high-tech approach that could appeal to climate change activists looking to secure realistic reductions in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. And for a state like Missouri, which relied on coal for roughly 80 percent of its electricity last year, this could be significant. The Department of Energy (DOE) has announced that it is considering investment in the development of small-scale, “modular” coal plants that some are calling the power plants of the future. These compact generating stations can achieve extremely high energy efficiencies, and would be doubly clean when paired with new, cutting-edge systems to enhance the capture of exhaust emissions. It’s clear that President Trump is standing behind his commitment to revitalize America’s coal sector. But technological advances are emerging that may indeed validate his decision—including an array of systems to fine-tune the trapping of exhaust gases and particulate matter. To date, America’s coal fleet has invested more than $122 billion on such specialized “scrubbing” equipment. But coal could transition further
into the realm of high-tech now that “Super-critical” and “Ultra-supercritical” power plants are coming online to burn coal at far higher temperatures. Under such intense heat and pressure, coal burns more efficiently, yielding lower CO2 emissions per kilowatt generated. There’s one problem, though: The Obama Administration’s focus on eliminating coal through hefty regulations discouraged utilities from moving toward higher efficiency systems. As a result, America’s coal fleet is aging, and the U.S. now trails China, Japan, and the EU in fully implementing these technologies. It’s not that the U.S. lacks the technological prowess to move forward on advanced coal plants, however. But many are still asking—“Why coal?” As the nation is now learning after a particularly brutal winter, coal proved unexpectedly crucial in keeping the lights on. According to a recent DOE report, without ample coal-fired power “the eastern United States would have suffered severe electricity shortages, likely leading to widespread blackouts.” Coal plants delivered 55 percent of incremental daily U.S. power generation this winter, and provided three times the incremental generation of natural gas and 12 times that of nuclear units. This raises the wider issue of fuel diversity. The U.S. is poised to export
more of its natural gas to Europe. And rising demand overseas will undoubtedly lead to higher prices and tighter supplies domestically. Southern California is already facing its own looming problem as it decides whether to continue drawing natural gas from a facility that spewed a massive leak in 2015. And New England is grappling with its own pipeline capacity issues; this winter’s bitter cold snap forced some utilities to resort to oil-powered generation when gas supplies lagged during peak demand. There’s a need to ensure a diverse energy mix in the United States, particularly when electricity demand is projected to increase annually according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. In response, the Trump Administration is right to safeguard fuel variety for the nation’s power grid. Coal is plentiful and affordable, which augurs well for investing in compact, high-tech modules that can increase efficiency and reduce emissions in a realistic manner. That would yield both economic benefits and more reliable electricity—two things that will matter greatly to Missouri in the years ahead. Terry M. Jarrett is an energy attorney and consultant who has served on both the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners and the Missouri Public Service Commission.

Court makes sports betting a possibility nationwide Justices strike down federal law
Some states nearly ready to take bets
BY JESSICA GRESKO
BY BEN NUCKOLS
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court gave its goahead Monday for states to allow gambling on sports across the nation, striking down a federal law barring betting on football, basketball, baseball and other sports in most states. The justices voted 6-3 to strike down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act, a 1992 law forbidding state-authorized sports gambling with some exceptions. It made Nevada the only state where a person could wager on the results of a single game. Many states have hoped their cut of legalized sports gambling could help solve budget problems. Stock prices for casino operators and equipment makers surged after the ruling was announced. The ruling, in a case from New Jersey, creates an opening to bring an activity out of the shadows many Americans already see as a mainstream hobby. The American Gaming Association estimates Americans illegally wager about $150 billion on sports each year, and one research firm estimated before the ruling if the Supreme Court were to strike down the law, 32 states would likely offer sports betting within five years. Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the court, “The legalization of sports gambling requires an important policy choice, but the choice is not ours to make. Congress can regulate sports gambling directly, but if it elects not to do so, each state is free to act on its own. Our job is to interpret the law Congress has enacted and decide whether it is consistent with the Constitution. PASPA is not.” Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor dissented. Ginsburg wrote for the three when a portion of a law violates the Constitution, the court “ordinarily engages in a salvage rather than a demolition op-
WASHINGTON — A decision by the Supreme Court means American sports fans will soon have many more places to place legal bets on the results of football, baseball, basketball, hockey and other games. Five states have the edge in the race to legalize sports betting because they already passed laws contingent on the Supreme Court striking down the 1992 federal ban on such gambling, which the court did Monday. And that doesn’t include Delaware, which could move quickly to expand the limited legal gambling it has already. Several other states are likely to follow them in the coming months or years as they seek to capitalize on the economic growth and tax revenue legal gambling can bring. Including the four states where some form of sports gambling was already legal, 24 states have at least considered getting into business with sports book operators. Here’s a state-by-state breakdown of where things stand:

People watch coverage of the first round of the NCAA college basketball tournament at the Westgate Superbook sports book in Las Vegas in March. The Supreme Court gave its go-ahead Monday for states to allow gambling on sports across the nation, striking down a federal law that barred betting on football, basketball, baseball and other sports in most states. eration,” preserving what it can. She said instead of using a “scalpel to trim the statute” her colleagues used “an axe” to cut the remainder down. Breyer agreed with the majority of the court part of the law must be struck down but said it should not have doomed the rest of the law. The federal government and all four major U.S. professional sports leagues and the NCAA had urged the court to uphold the federal law, with the leagues saying a gambling expansion would hurt the integrity of their games. Those concerns are rooted in past gambling scandals. The leagues don’t want anyone thinking the outcome of their games could be altered by someone with money on a certain result, and they argued with legal sports betting in the United States they’d have to spend a lot more money monitoring betting patterns and investigating suspicious activity. Sports gambling proponents argue the leagues already do that work and legal sports betting will make enforcement easier than it is now, when most bets in the U.S. are made illegally. They say state regulators
are capable of monitoring suspicious bets, as is done in Nevada. On Monday, Major League Baseball issued a statement saying the Supreme Court ruling would have “profound effects” on the league and it would “continue to seek the proper protections for our sport.” NBA commissioner Adam Silver said the pro basketball league remains in favor “of a federal framework that would provide a uniform approach to sports gambling in states that choose to permit it.” He said “regardless of the particulars of any future sports betting law, the integrity of our game remains our highest priority.” Representatives of the National Hockey League and National Football League had no immediate comment on the ruling, saying they were analyzing it. The NCAA’s chief legal officer said the organization is still reviewing the court’s decision but added it “will adjust sports wagering and championship policies to align with the direction from the court.” The court’s decision came in a case from New Jersey, which has fought for years to legalize gambling

on sports at casinos and racetracks. Former Gov. Chris Christie said after arguments in the case in December if justices sided with the state, bets could be taken “within two weeks” of a decision. After the ruling was announced, the former Republican governor tweeted it was a “great day for the rights of states and their people to make their own decisions.” The state’s current governor, Democrat Phil Murphy, also cheered the ruling, saying he was “thrilled” to see the high court strike down the “arbitrary ban.” He said he looked forward to working with the Legislature to “enact a law authorizing and regulating sports betting in the very near future.” Monmouth Park, a racetrack at the Jersey Shore, has already set up a sports book operation and has previously estimated it could take bets within two weeks of a favorable ruling. Tony Rodio, president of Tropicana Entertainment, said his Atlantic City casino will “absolutely” offer sports betting once it can get it up and running. “It’s been a long time coming,” he said. New Jersey has spent years and millions of dollars in legal fees trying to legalize sports betting. In 2012, with voters’ support, New Jersey lawmakers passed a law allowing sports betting, directly challenging the 1992 federal law. The four major professional sports leagues and the NCAA sued, and the state lost in court. In 2014, New Jersey tried a different tactic by repealing laws prohibiting sports gambling at casinos and racetracks. It argued taking its laws off the books was different from authorizing sports gambling. The state lost again and then took the case to the Supreme Court. More than a dozen states had supported New Jersey in urging the Supreme Court to overturn the law.
Delaware Parlay bets on NFL games are already available in Delaware because it was one of the four states with pre-existing laws authorizing sports betting not affected by the federal ban. Delaware tried to legalize bets on individual games in 2009 but ran afoul of the federal law. With the ban lifted, Delaware has the infrastructure in place through its lottery and casinos to quickly begin expanding its wagering options. State finance secretary Rick Geisenberger told The Associated Press fullscale sports gambling could be available at Delaware’s three casinos by the end of June.
Mississippi A bill authorizing sports betting at the state’s casinos was approved last year. Mississippi Gaming and Hospitality Association deputy director Michael Bruffey said Monday the state’s 28 casinos could welcome bettors by the time football season begins. Bruffey said casinos have been in talks with state regulators about draft rules allowing sports betting, and regulators could vote quickly.
New Jersey The Garden State spent years fighting the sports betting ban in court, culminating in its victory Monday. The legislature has twice passed laws legalizing sports betting, and operators of the Monmouth Park horse racing track said Monday they’d start taking bets within two weeks “unless someone stops us.” The track has the capability of taking bets almost immediately, but lawmakers and Democrat-
ic Gov. Phil Murphy would prefer to pass a bill to regulate sports betting before any sports books open. Deputy Assembly Speaker John Burzichelli said it will probably be several weeks before a revised bill is enacted.
New York Voters in 2013 approved a constitutional amendment authorizing commercial casinos, and the amendment authorized the casinos to open sports books if the ban were lifted. However, further legislation is needed before any bets can be taken, and the legislature is considering several bills to shape the sports gambling industry in the state. Major League Baseball, the NBA and casino interests have done intense lobbying in Albany in recent months.
Pennsylvania Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf signed a bill last year authorizing sports books at the state’s casinos along with mobile and online sports betting. But gambling industry leaders are skeptical sports books will flourish in Pennsylvania because of the bill’s tax provisions: a 36 percent tax on gambling revenue and a $10 million licensing fee for sports book operators.
West Virginia Lawmakers this year approved sports betting at the state’s five casinos and on approved mobile apps in the event of a Supreme Court decision repealing the ban. Republican Gov. Jim Justice allowed the bill to become law without his signature and later announced he’d reached a deal for casinos to pay a fee to professional sports leagues to help them protect the integrity of their games. Casino operators, however, said the meeting with Justice ended without a deal and casinos continue to oppose the fee. The leagues had lobbied unsuccessfully for such language to be part of the law.
Other states Nevada is the only state allowing wagers on individual games. In addition to Delaware, Montana and Oregon were already allowed to have sports betting in a limited form through their state lotteries because of laws predating the federal ban. Montana only offers fantasy football and fantasy racing bets, and Oregon’s lottery discontinued its only sports betting product years ago. Both could now revisit those decisions. Seven states have active legislation to legalize sports betting: California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Rhode Island and South Carolina. Eight others have considered legalization in recent months or years: Connecticut, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland and Oklahoma.
Trump move may ease China trade talks BY PAUL WISEMAN
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — A long-running dispute between American regulators and Chinese telecom company ZTE may have handed President Donald Trump some unexpected leverage in avoiding a trade war with Beijing. Trump’s tweet Sunday he was working with President Xi Jinping of China to put ZTE “back into business, fast” after U.S. sanctions threatened ZTE’s existence and 70,000 Chinese jobs caught many trade-watchers by surprise. “Too many jobs in China lost,” Trump tweeted. “Commerce Department has been instructed to get it done!” The overture came just as Vice Premier Liu He was flying to Washington for talks
aimed at heading off a mutually harmful battle between the world’s two biggest economies and just before U.S. companies plan to plead during three days of hearings for a resolution to the dispute. Trade analysts say it is highly unusual for a president to intercede in a case brought by the Commerce Department and to mix regulatory sanctions with trade negotiations. But they also note Trump’s offer to rescue ZTE, which makes cellphones and other telecommunications equipment, has the potential to clear the way for progress. “It’s a way to unlock negotiations,” said Wendy Cutler, a former U.S. trade negotiator specializing in Asia and now vice president at the Asia Society Policy Institute. The United States has proposed imposing tariffs on
up to $150 billion in Chinese products to punish Beijing for forcing American companies to hand over technology in exchange for access to the Chinese markets. In retaliation, Beijing is threatening tariffs on $50 billion in U.S. products. “Trump’s tweet creates an atmosphere where there’s more hope for reaching an agreement on trade,” said David Dollar, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and a former official at the World Bank and the U.S. Treasury Department. The United States also needs China’s support as it prepares for talks with North Korea intended to persuade the Pyongyang regime to abandon nuclear weapons. Commerce and ZTE last year settled charges the Chinese company sold sensitive
telecommunications equipment to Iran and North Korea in violation of U.S. sanctions. ZTE agreed to plead guilty and pay about $1 billion in fines. Last month, Commerce accused ZTE of violating the agreement and blocked ZTE from importing American components for seven years. The department said ZTE had misled regulators: Instead of disciplining all employees involved in the sanctions violations, Commerce said, ZTE paid some of them full bonuses and then lied about it. The seven-year ban was tantamount to a death sentence for ZTE. Last week, the company announced it was halting operations. Early this month, a high-level U.S. delegation

Europe’s electric car charging network growing BY DAVID MCHUGH
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MUNICH — Charging an electric car away from home can be an exercise in uncertainty — hunting for a lonely station at the back of a rest-area parking lot and hoping it’s working. In Europe, some of the biggest automakers are out to remove such anxieties from the battery-only driving experience and encourage electric-vehicle sales by building a highway network of fast-charging stations. The idea is to let drivers plug in, charge in minutes instead of hours, and speed off on their way — from Norway to southern Italy and Portugal to Poland. Much is at stake for the automakers, which include Volkswagen, BMW, Daimler and Ford. Their joint venture, Munich-based Ionity, is pushing to roll out its network in time to service the next generation of battery-only cars coming on the market starting next year. They’re aiming to win back some of the market share for electric luxury car sales lost to Tesla, which has its own, proprietary fast-charging network. Despite a slower-than-expected start, Ionity CEO Michael Hajesch told The Associated Press he’s “confident” the company will reach its goal of 400 ultra-fast charging stations averaging six charging places each by 2020. The idea is “to be able to drive long distances with battery electric vehicles, across Europe and to have the same experience at each
station, meaning a very easy and comfortable customer journey,” Hajesch said, speaking at the company’s Munich headquarters near the 1972 Olympic stadium. The idea is to break electric cars out of the early adopter niche, in which they are charged slowly overnight at home and used for short commutes. “The sites we are looking for are really the A-sites,” he said, “directly at the autobahn. Not down the road, not driving five kilometers into the next industrial area and finding a charging station somewhere, without light, or any amenities around, but right at the autobahn.” “If you’re going from Hamburg to Munich, because it’s a weekend trip to friends, typically you do not have much time,” he said. So what counts will be “the speed of recharging your vehicles, and at the same time finding maybe some amenities: maybe a coffee, getting a newspaper or whatever.” Ionity opened its first station April 17 at a rest stop off the A61 highway near the small town of Niederzissen, 30 miles south of Bonn in western Germany. The six high-speed chargers are operating in “welcome mode,” meaning they’re free until May 31. After that, Ionity plans to charge for the power, which it seeks to obtain from renewable sources. Ionity has agreements for some 300 sites, working with fueling station and rest stop landlords. The average distance between stations will be 75 miles. More charging availability is what it will take to get an

The 58-year-old Berlin geography teacher is a proud owner of a Mitsubishi Outlander, a plug-in hybrid combining internal combustion with a battery he can charge overnight. The battery-only range of 30 miles lets him drive emissions free for daily trips at home. But a family vacation of more than 120 miles to the Baltic Sea was a different story. Hoedt had to drive on internal combustion before find-
ing a lone charging station as he approached his destination, using the goingelectric. de website. “It was right next to the highway, there was one charging station, and we were lucky that it was free,” he said. But he couldn’t find a charging station he could use by the seashore. On the way back, he was able to charge at a rest stop, but only by asking a non-electric car owner to move his vehicle away from the lone charging pole. A battery-only car might never have made it home.
And he couldn’t use one to visit his cousin 400 miles away in Rosenheim. “I looked at the option ... The infrastructure is still so bad, I just don’t want to risk that I get stranded,” he said. “Once the infrastructure gets better, that might be my next car.” Tesla has shown how charging infrastructure can drive vehicle sales. It has 1,229 stations with 9,623 fast chargers in Europe alone, where it has cut into Mercedes and BMW’s sales of luxury cars. But it has its own proprietary plug. Ionity is using the CCS plug
backed by the European Union as a common standard for all. In both the U.S. and Europe, the situation is roughly similar: More chargers available in jurisdictions where government strongly backs electric vehicles, such as California, Norway or the Netherlands. Elsewhere, chargers get can harder to find for long stretches along rural highways. Volkswagen, which agreed to invest in low-emission driving to settle charges it cheated on diesel emissions, is building 300 highway charging sites in the U.S. by June 2019 through its Electrify America unit. Japan has 40,000 charging points, exceeding its 34,000 gas stations, according to Nissan — but many of those are private garages. Ionity is counting on the large 350-kilowatt capacity of its publicly available chargers — almost three times the 120 kilowatts per vehicle of Tesla’s Superchargers. No car currently on the market can make full use of 350 kilowatt charging capacity. But they’re coming: in 2019 Porsche plans to introduce the Mission E. Porsche says the sleek, low-slung sports car will take 15 minutes to charge for 250 miles more driving. Tesla and its founder, Elon Musk, “showed it’s not enough to just build electric cars” without also building charging infrastructure, said Ferdinand Dudenhoeffer, director of the CAR Center Automotive Research at the University of Duisberg-Essen.
Catalonia’s lawmakers pick separatist as new chief BY ARITZ PARRA
ASSOCIATED PRESS MADRID — Lawmakers in Catalonia elected a fervent separatist as the new chief of the restive region Monday, ending a leadership vacuum of more than six months and setting the scene for more confrontations with the Spanish government. Quim Torra, a former corporate lawyer who went on to lead a prominent pro-secession group, vowed to build an independent Catalan republic by working under the leadership of his fugitive predecessor, Carles Puigdemont. Puigdemont is in Germany fighting extradition to Spain, where he is wanted for allegedly using public funds and orchestrating an “insurrection” to get the wealthy northeastern region around Barcelona to break away from Spain. Torra was elected 66-65 in a second round vote after he failed to secure an absolute majority in the 135-strong Catalan Parliament over the weekend. Four lawmakers with the far-left anti-establishment CUP party abstained. Immediately after his election, Torra, 55, said one of the goals of his new government would be to reinstate Puigdemont as “the legitimate president” of Catalonia. The Spanish government removed Puigdemont and his Cabinet from office after the regional parliament passed an illegal declaration of independence in October. “Our president is Carles Puigdemont, and we will be faithful to the mandate of October ... to build an independent state in the form of a republic,” Torra told the chamber based in Barcelona. Torra also has promised to create a “state council in exile” and vowed to establish a constituent assembly to write the constitution for a new Catalan republic. “Everybody will win rights with the republic,” Torra told fellow lawmakers in a speech before the vote. “Nobody will lose

Newly appointed Catalan president Quim Torra, leaves the parliament Monday after a parliamentary vote session in Barcelona, Spain. Catalan lawmakers have ended a half-year power vacuum by electing in a close vote secession enthusiast Quim Torra as the new regional chief, a controversial figure for the unionist opposition. rights. The republic is for everybody, no matter what they vote.” The Catalan separatist movement has caused the worst political and institutional crisis in Spain in decades. Central authorities have been ruling Catalonia directly from Madrid since the regional government led by Puigdemont relied on the results of an outlawed Oct. 1 referendum to declare unilateral independence from Spain. The national government has fired dozens of civil servants and closed a network of overseas offices seeking investments in Catalonia but also functioning as “diplomatic delegations” to bolster support for independence. The unprecedented Spanish takeover is set to end when Torra is sworn in along with a new Catalan Cabinet. But Spanish authorities have warned the national government could reassert its authority if the new regional government breaks the law again. Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said he didn’t like what he had heard during Monday’s investiture debate in the Catalan assembly. He said
his judgment on Torra’s appointment will depend on Torra’s actions. “We will bet on understanding and agreement in looking at the future,” Rajoy told reporters in Segovia. “But I say this, and I mean it: I will make sure that the law, the Spanish Constitution and the rest of the legal system, are obeyed.” The prime minister’s office announced meetings with the two leaders of the main opposition parties at the national level, Socialist Party Secretary General Pedro Sanchez and the pro-business Ciudadanos (Citizens) party’s Albert Rivera. Both leaders’ supported authorizing Rajoy’s conservative cabinet to take direct control of Catalonia’s affairs last year. Rivera, who is experiencing a wave of popularity in recent opinion polls placing his party ahead of the ruling Popular Party, has urged Rajoy to extend the takeover. Polls show Catalonia’s 7.5 million residents are evenly divided on whether the region should secede from Spain. A great majority wants to settle the issue in a referendum, which under current law only the central government can set.
Neighbors say suicide bombers well off, friendly BY NINIEK KARMINI
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SURABAYA, Indonesia — The Muslim family carrying out suicide attacks on three churches in Indonesia’s second-largest city, killing a dozen people as well as its two young daughters, lived comfortably in an upper-middle class suburb and was on friendly terms with a Christian neighbor. The coordinated bombings Sunday, followed Monday by a suicide attack by another family on police headquarters in Surabaya, have horrified Indonesians who typically see their Muslim-majority country as diverse and tolerant. Neighbors said there were no signs members of the family were planning the acts of violence President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo condemned as “barbaric” and “beyond humanity.” They had lived in the leafy Wonorejo Asri residential community since 2010 and had a good income from the father’s business selling herbal medicines, the neighbors said. According to police, Sunday morning the two sons, 16 and 18, rode a motorcycle into a church courtyard and detonated their explosives. Puji Kuswati, the mother, attacked worshippers at another church with her daugh-
ters, aged 9 and 12, who police said were all wearing suicide vests. The father, Dita Oepriarto, detonated a car bomb outside a third church. Police initially gave his name as Dita Futrianto but corrected the name based on his national identity card. All six died. Raith Yunanto, who lives two houses from the family, said they were always welcoming to her, a minority Christian. She said she went shopping with Kuswati at the local market and they often exchanged different types of food and fruit. “There was nothing strange about the family, they were like other devout Muslim families,” she said. “Their attitude and manner of dress were just like common Muslim people.” “It’s difficult for us to accept how they can commit such a barbaric act against Christians,” Yunanto said. “The couple visited me when I gave birth and when my children were sick.” She said she last saw members of the family when the daughters were riding bicycles with other children in front of her house Saturday afternoon, the day before the bombings. The eldest son, she said, was seen coming home from school activities wearing a colourful batik shirt symbolic of diversity in Indonesia, a country of more than
260 million with dozens of ethnic groups and languages. Dendri Oemiarti, Oepriarto’s younger sister, was wracked with grief Monday when she spoke to The Associated Press and said her elderly parents were in a state of shock. “What he has done has hurt us so deeply,” she said as tears flowed down her cheeks. “What thoughts have influenced him? I do not understand. I do not know what changed my good brother to be so sadistic.” Oemiarti said she was very angry when she first heard about the church attacks and children had been used to carry them out. “I fainted when my sister, Dina, told me that the attack was done by our own brother,” she said. The last time she met her brother and his family was during Ramadan in 2017. She said their lives were busy and they only met about once a year and didn’t talk about religion. Police initially said the family went to Syria to join the Islamic State group but later retracted the statement. Oepriarto, they said, was the leader of the Surabaya cell of Jemaah Anshorut Daulah, an Indonesian network of extremist groups that is affiliated with IS.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — In a jarring contrast, Israeli forces shot and killed at least 55 Palestinians and wounded more than 1,200 during mass protests Monday along the Gaza border, while just a few miles away Israel and the U.S. held a festive inauguration ceremony for the new American Embassy in contested Jerusalem. It was by far the deadliest day of cross-border violence since a devastating 2014 war between Israel and Gaza’s Hamas rulers, and further dimmed the already bleak prospects for President Donald Trump’s hoped-for peace plan. Throughout the day, Gaza protesters set tires ablaze, sending thick plumes of black smoke into the air, and hurled firebombs and stones toward Israeli troops across the border. The Israeli military, which has come under international criticism for using excessive force against unarmed protesters, said Hamas tried to carry out bombing and shooting attacks under the cover of the protests and released video of protesters ripping away parts of the barbed-wire border fence. “What we saw today was unprecedented violence along the fence,” said Brig. Gen. Ronen Manelis, the chief military spokesman, defending the tough Israeli response. “We are protect-
ing Israel’s citizens. We are defending our homes.” Monday’s protests culminated more than a month of weekly demonstrations aimed at breaking a crippling Israeli-Egyptian border blockade. But the U.S. Embassy move, bitterly opposed by the Palestinians, added further fuel. There was barely any mention of the Gaza violence at Monday’s lavish inauguration ceremony for the new embassy, an upgraded consular building located just 50 miles away. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other top officials joined an American delegation of Trump administration officials and Republican and evangelical Christian supporters. Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and chief Mideast adviser, headlined the U.S. delegation with his wife and fellow White House adviser, Ivanka Trump, as well as Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and four Republican senators. Republican super-donor Sheldon Adelson was also present, and evangelical pastors Robert Jeffress and John Hagee delivered blessings. In a videotaped address, Trump said the embassy move, a key campaign promise, recognizes the “plain reality” Jerusalem is Israel’s capital. Yet he added the United States “remains fully committed to facilitating a lasting peace agreement.”
But Monday’s steadily climbing death toll and wall-to-wall condemnation of the embassy move in the Arab world raised new doubts about Trump’s ambitions to broker what he called the “deal of the century.” More than a year after taking office, Trump’s Mideast team has not produced a long-promised peace plan. Trump says recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital acknowledges the reality Israel’s government is located there as well as the ancient Jewish connection to the city. He insists the decision has no impact on future negotiations on the city’s final borders. But to both Israel and the Palestinians, the American gesture is widely seen as siding with Israel on the most sensitive issue in their longstanding conflict. “What a glorious day. Remember this moment. This is history,” Netanyahu told the inauguration ceremony. “You can only build peace on truth, and the truth is that Jerusalem has been and will always be the capital of the Jewish people, the capital of the Jewish state,” he added. The Palestinians, who seek east Jerusalem as their capital, have cut off ties with the Trump administration and say the U.S. is unfit to serve as a mediator. Israel captured east Jerusalem in the 1967 Mideast war and annexed the area in a move not internationally recognized.
BAGHDAD — In the years following the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, the young cleric Moqtada al-Sadr burst onto the scene as a renegade champion of poorer Shiites, leading militant fighters who carried out deadly attacks on American forces and were notorious for sectarian killings against Sunni Muslims. Now al-Sadr appears set to secure the most significant victory of his political career after a strong showing in parliament elections held over the weekend. It is the latest stage in al-Sadr’s political evolution. In recent years, he has gained popularity as a nationalist voice, opposing Iranian influence and waging a public campaign against corruption. For this election, he ran a non-sectarian campaign focused on issues of social justice, allying with secularists and Iraq’s communist party, and broadening support beyond his traditional base. “We are moving to a free and independent Iraq,” al-Sadr said just before Saturday’s voting in a televised address from his office in the Shiite city of Najaf. “We are going to move to an Iraq safe from corruption, terrorism and militias.” He warned if there were manipulation and fraud in the election, “we will make the earth quake beneath the feet of the cheaters and corrupt.” Partial election returns announced Sunday showed al-Sadr’s political alliance as the current front-runner, leading in four provinces, including Baghdad. An alliance of candidates linked to Iraq’s powerful paramilitary groups appears set to come in second with Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi trailing in third. Al-Sadr himself did not run for parliament and so cannot be a candidate for the prime minister’s post. But a significant number of seats for his movement would give him a strong voice in building the next government. Muqtada al-Sadr has dipped in and out of Iraqi politics for over a decade, repeatedly reinventing himself. But he has consistently leveraged a deep popular

Born to a prominent family of Shiite clerics, al-Sadr’s relative Grand Ayatollah Mohammed Baqir al-Sadr was executed by Saddam Hussein in 1980. In 1999, al-Sadr’s father Mohammed Sadiq al-Sadr was shot dead along with two of his sons in Najaf. After the 2003 invasion, Muqtada al-Sadr led an uprising against the presence of U.S. forces in the country. His core support in Baghdad lives in Sadr City, a sprawling, poor, Shiite dominated neighborhood on the capital’s edge renamed after the cleric’s family following the overthrow of Saddam Hussein. His militia, known as the Mahdi Army, battled repeatedly over the years with U.S. and Iraqi government forces in Baghdad and around Shiite holy sites in the south. It also participated in some of Iraq’s most violent sectarian blood-letting; its fighters were accused of kidnapping, torture and killings of Sunnis. Throughout that time, his movement participated in elections, sometimes holding places in successive governments. Al-Sadr always showed his ability to mobilize millions, whether for political rallies or for elections. Following the fall of Mosul to the Islamic State group in 2014, he resurrected his militia under
a new name — the Peace Brigades — to fight the militants. His forces were largely sidelined in the battle, even as other militia commanders were propelled to new heights of power. Militias with closer ties to Iran such as the Badr Brigades, Asaib Ahl Haq and Kataib Hezbollah were flooded with munitions, supplies and dispatched to high profile battles from Iraq’s far west to the country’s north. Al-Sadr’s forces maintained their own chain of command and were as a result delegated to largely operate in the city of Samarra, north of Baghdad, with the duty of protecting one of Shiite Islam’s holiest shrines. In 2016 al-Sadr remerged as a central figure in Iraq’s political scene by taking a lead role in the anti-government protest movement bubbling up amid a deepening economic crisis as the war against IS dragged on. Al-Abadi’s efforts to address demands for better government services and greater employment prospects have been stymied by political gridlock in Baghdad. In April of that year, al-Sadr rallied thousands of supporters who stormed Baghdad’s highly fortified Green Zone to demand political reforms. The protests rocked Baghdad and forced al-Abadi to pull troops from the frontline against IS back to the capital to secure the city’s streets.

DEAR ABBY
Mom is desperate to stop teen’s violence Dear Abby: I’m a mother of two boys, 13 and 12. My oldest son has become very abusive, EANNE both physHILLIPS ically and emotionally. He has been arrested for hitting me and hitting his little brother. He was recently kicked off the bus for hitting another student and has also been locked out of school. I have tried therapy and medications for him, but he hasn’t changed. I’m at my wits’ end, ready to give up and hand him over to the court. He has both parents and a loving home. I don’t know what to do anymore. I love my son, but can no longer do this. Please tell me how to help him! Loving Mother in Tennessee
J P
Dear Loving Mother: Much information is missing from your letter. What triggers your son’s violent episodes? Could he have a learning disability? Is he being teased or bullied, which might explain why he hit another student? Has he been ill, or could he have sensory integration difficulties?
At 13, it’s too soon to throw up your hands and give up. Because therapy and medication haven’t helped your son, I would have to ask what kind of therapist has been seeing him. When treatment doesn’t work, a patient may need a more comprehensive assessment — a second opinion or even a third. My suggestion would be to take him to a teaching hospital. And while you’re there, please consider asking about some support for yourself because you have a lot on your shoulders. Dear Abby: I’m in my late 30s and moved away from my parents when I was 17. My husband doesn’t make a lot of money, but he gives me his whole paycheck for the household expenses every week. Because we live paycheck to paycheck, we rarely have much money left at the end of the month. But we make it. The issue is my parents. They are retired now and received a nice inheritance when my grandparents passed. They used the money to pay off every debt they had, and now they won’t stop telling me how to save money or how to spend it. Now that they’re financially stable,
they seem to have forgotten they lived paycheck to paycheck when they were my age. I rarely speak to them anymore because of it. How can I get them to back off without starting a war? They’re retired and bored, and they love drama. The slightest thing starts a battle they drag other family into. Paycheck to Paycheck in Ohio Dear Paycheck: That your parents feel the need to enlist the support of other relatives in their arguments with you is wrong. All they have managed to accomplish is to put you on the defensive. However, has it not occurred to you they’re dispensing financial advice because they are hoping to help you avoid some of the mistakes THEY made before they received that windfall? Listen politely, thank them for caring, discuss it with your husband, and decide whether some of it applies in your situation. Then keep what you can use and discard the rest.

Dear Doctor: Can you talk about overweight kids and fatty liver disease? I thought this was something only alcoholics suffered from.
percent of them are men. While NAFLD has no obvious symptoms, abdominal pain, chronic fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite and elevated liver enzymes may be indicators of the condition in individuals who exhibit the appropriate risk factors. Although at this time there are no specific treatments for the condition, lifestyle changes can have a beneficial effect. Reaching and maintaining a healthy weight is considered the leading preventive. Several studies have shown a direct correlation between increased sugar consumption and certain metabolic changes stressing the liver. Soft drinks in particular have been shown to increase the markers of fatty liver disease. So ditch the sweets, sodas and processed foods. Focus instead on fresh fruits and vegetables, leafy greens, healthful fats and lean proteins. Your liver — and your whole body — will thank you.

LOS ANGELES — Margot Kidder, who starred as Lois Lane opposite Christopher Reeve in the “Superman” film franchise of the 1970s and 1980s, has died. Kidder died Sunday at her home in Livingston, Montana, according to a notice on the website of Franzen-Davis Funeral Home. She was 69. Kidder’s manager Camilla Fluxman Pines said she died peacefully in her sleep. No cause or other details were given. “Superman,” directed by Richard Donner, was a superhero blockbuster two decades before comic book movies became the norm at the top of the box office, and is cited as an essential inspiration by makers of today’s Marvel and D.C. films. Both Kidder and Reeve, who played Superman,
Both would remain known almost entirely for their “Superman” roles, and struggled to find other major parts. Reeve, who was paralyzed from the neck down in a horseback riding accident in 1995, died in 2004. Kidder also had a small part in “The Great Waldo Pepper” with Robert Redford in 1975, and a leading role in “The Amityville Horror” alongside James Brolin in 1979. Kidder had a debilitating car accident in 1990 leaving her in a wheelchair for most of two years and made it difficult to work. She told ABC’s Barbara Walters in a 1996 interview she had struggled for decades with mental illness, a fight that became public when she was found dazed and filthy in a yard not far from the studio where she once played Lane.

were relative unknowns when they got their leading parts in 1978’s “Superman.” The filmmakers saved the star power for other roles — Gene Hackman as villain Lex Luthor and Marlon Brando as Superman’s father Jor-El. Kidder had many of the film’s most memorable lines, including “You’ve got me?! Who’s got you?!” when she first encountered the costumed hero as she and a helicopter plunged from the top of a Metropolis building. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige called the moment “the best cinematic superhero save in the history of film” at an Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences event honoring Donner last year. Kidder and Reeve went on to star in three more “Superman” movies, the last being “Superman IV: The Quest for Peace,” in 1987.

Oran ends Bell City’s three-year reign atop Class 1 The Eagles posted an 8-1 win over the Cubs in the Class 1 District 2 final, snapping the spell of the three-time defending state champs BY PHILLIP SUITTS
SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN ORAN, Mo. — Joe Bickings was so nervous, he couldn’t eat before the game. The Oran baseball team eased its coach’s mind with seven runs in the first two innings and cruised from there, eliminating a familiar foe — the three-time defend-
ing Class 1 state champions Bell City. For a fourth straight year, Oran and Bell City met in the Class 1 District 2 championship. This season, the top-seeded Eagles prevailed for the first time, beating the No. 3 Cubs 8-1 on Monday at Oran High School and claiming their first district title since 2014.
“Unfortunately for us, the last three we haven’t been able to come out victorious and they went on to win state,” Bickings said. “I always thought this game right here was the state championship game.” This was a new-look Cubs (9-11) team after they lost five starters from the past two championship teams. But it
was the same program that derailed the Eagles in the past. No matter, Oran (14-8) jumped on top early, scoring four runs in the bottom of the first inning. After the first two batters reached base on a hit by pitch and walk, senior Drew KYLE SMITH ~ Dexter Statesman

Scott City pummels Portageville to win Class 3 District 1 BY DUSTIN WARD
DELTA DUNKLIN DEMOCRAT Subheadertoutourtour
CHARLESTON, Mo. — The No. 2-seeded Scott City Rams broke a 3-3 tie with five runs in the top of the third inning and never looked back, as it beat the No. 1-seeded Portageville Bulldogs 14-4 in the Class 3 District 1 baseball championship Monday at Benny Hillhouse Park. The result was a satisfying one for the Rams, who will face the District 2 winner, to be decided between Malden and Doniphan today. The sectional game will be May 21. “Three hundred-sixty five days ago we got our tails beat by this team,” Scott City coach Jim May said. “We had six seniors that graduated that were starters off that team. Coming into this year we heard about how we weren’t going to be any good because we couldn’t replace our seniors. “Our kids have busted their butts and done everything that has been asked of them this year.
DUSTIN WARD ~ Delta Dunklin Democrat
Scott City left-hander Dakota Talley delivers a pitch to a Portageville batter during the Class 3 District 1 championship game Monday in Charleston, Missouri. To reach 17 wins and win a district title is a testament to them. I couldn’t be more proud of a group of young men.” Scott City (17-11) loaded the bases in the top of the third inning after Spencer Stratman collected a leadoff walk, Dakota Talley reached base on an infield error and Chris Phillips followed with a one-out walk.

Jackson players celebrate with the first-place plaque after their 5-2 win over Poplar Bluff in the Class 5 District 1 championship game Monday at Cape Girardeau Central High School. BY JOSH MLOT
SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN The Jackson baseball team learned a thing or two in its SEMO Conference Tournament title-game loss to rival Poplar Bluff on April 30. Chief among those lessons: the Indians weren’t going to no-hit the Mules every time, and defensive mistakes get you beat.
On Monday, top-seeded Jackson turned the tables on second-seeded Poplar Bluff, taking advantage of the Mules’ mistakes and showing the poise to get some revenge and snag its third district title in four years with a 5-2 win in the Class 5 District 1 championship Monday evening at Cape Girardeau Central High School. The two sides had split a
pair of previous meetings this season. The rubber-match victory didn’t come easily for Jackson (21-8), as Poplar Bluff (21-3) threatened to the very last out. But with the bases loaded and Mules three-hitter Turner Fritts representing the go-ahead run at the plate, Indians’ pitcher Tyler Martin induced a pop-up to senior second baseman Justice Crosnoe, who camped

under it and easily hauled it in to spark a celebration. “Turner Fritts, man, he’s a great guy and he just hits the ball real hard,” Crosnoe said. “Once the ball went up there and I had a chance to get it ... it was like it was written in a script that I was going to get the last ball. It was great. “It’s amazing. I feel like See INDIANS, Page 2B

SEMO women’s basketball signs transfer The Southeast Missouri State women’s basketball has welcomed a transfer signing into the fold, the program announced via Twitter on Monday. The Redhawks announced Celeste Akoro will be transferring in following one season at Virginia Tech. The 6-foot-2 forward did not appear in any games as a freshman with the Hokies and will have to sit out the 2018-19 season, per NCAA transfer rules. The move brings Akoro — an O’Fallon, Illinois, product — closer to home. At O’Fallon Township High
School she was a two-time All-State Honorable Mention selection and led the region in blocks, setting a record with 14 blocks in a single playoff game. She was listed as a three-star recruit by ESPN HoopGurlz and ranked 14th among post prospects. Akoro played AAU basketball with Best Choice United and was a U-17 Olympic Trials finalist in 2016. Akoro will bolster SEMO’s stable of post players, with two of the four set to graduate following the 2018-19 season. — From staff report
The Notre Dame duo Nate Hulshof and DJ Lynch plus Perryville’s Drew Elder did not post Day 1 scores after the opening round of the tournament in Camdenton, Missouri, was suspended due to inclement weather.

Jackson catcher Tyler Harris tags out Poplar Bluff’s Jaxson Huffman at the plate during the second inning of the Class 5 District 1 championship game Monday at Cape Girardeau Central High School.
Indians From Page 1B on the way over here I was, like, ‘You know what? This could be my last game as a high school player, so might as well go out there and give it your best.’ Getting here we were all pumped up; practice we were all pumped up. It was an amazing feeling when I caught that ball.” Crosnoe was 2-for-3 with two runs scored and a triple — a big chunk of the Indians’ offensive output. Jackson managed to score its five runs on just four hits — also stranding 11 base runners — but slipped through the door when the Mules left it open. Poplar Bluff walked 10 batters, threw four wild pitches, committed two errors and twice had a runner thrown out at the plate to end an inning. And it got punished for it. “I’m not going to point the finger at anybody or any thing,” Poplar Bluff coach Steven Edwards said. “It was just uncharacteristic of us. A couple of miscues here and there, two miscues on the base paths. It is what it is. I hate it for these eight seniors going out. I love them boys, I’d do anything for them. A tough loss — it’ll be a tough one to swallow for a while. “You can’t blame high school kids. I take the full blame for any loss we get. High school kids are high school kids. They’re aggressive, they’re excited, they’re going after it. Miscues or whatever, it’s my fault, not their fault.” Jaxson Huffman was 2-for-2 with a walk for Poplar Bluff, while Kyler Carr went 2-for-3 with an RBI. Mules starting lefthander Sam Pierce took the loss, allowing three runs — just one earned — on two hits with seven strikeouts and five walks over 3 2/3 innings. Michael White and Noah Burkey also pitched for Poplar Bluff. Martin got the complete-game win for Jackson. He may not have been as sharp as he was when he no-hit the Mules on April
19, but he proved crafty enough to work out of most trouble. He scattered nine hits and gave up two runs, striking out one and walking two. “Early in the game, Tyler didn’t have his best stuff,” Jackson coach Bryan Austin said. “He could not locate the breaking ball early. ... You saw a kid out there who did not have his best stuff but he was just competing. When he got to about the fourth or fifth inning, he found all his stuff and it was really, really good.” Jackson got the go-ahead score in the fourth, when Bo Goddard reached on an error and later scored after back-to-back wild pitches, giving Jackson a 3-2 lead. The No. 1 seed then built some breathing room in the bottom of the sixth, as Cole Welker and Crosnoe drew back-to-back walks to begin the inning before Tyler Harris drew a bases-loaded free pass two batters later — his fourth walk of the day — to push a runner in. Seth Essner then made it 5-2 with a sacrifice fly to center field. The two sides traded runs in the first inning, as Tyson Cox led off with a single and later scored on a sacrifice fly. Jackson then got a triple from Crosnoe, who scored on a two-out wild pitch to tie the game at 1-all. Poplar Bluff grabbed back the lead in the second, 2-1, as Carson Webb singled, moved up on a walk and scored on a two-out single by Carr. Jackson drew back-toback one-out walks in the bottom of the third, setting the table for a wild pitch and an error to allow Landon Hahn to score without the benefit of a hit, tying things at 2-all. Trailing 3-2, the Mules had a chance to pull even in the top of the fifth. With runners at the corners, a miscommunication saw the runner at third come home and easily get tagged out by the catcher for the final out. Moments later, Jackson took the lead for good. “We really thought our defense got away from us in [the conference cham-
pionship],” Austin said. “We made some mistakes we typically don’t make. But I’ll tell you, these guys came in and played with confidence. They’ve been confident through this entire tournament. “You really just have to talk about how great our kids are, how hard they competed and how selfless they are.” Entering the season, it was unclear just what the Indians would bring to the table after graduating a strong senior class and nearly all of its innings on the mound. But on Monday they made last year’s district title loss to Poplar Bluff look like a hiccup rather than a new trend. “When you lose six guys and pretty much your pitching staff ... [other teams] are thinking, ‘Hey, we’re going to be able to get after them a little bit,’” Austin said. “What did it for us was our juniors and seniors meshed very well together, they compete extremely hard and that’s the product you get on the field.” For the Mules, it was a disappointing way to end a season in which they did most everything else right. But Edwards remained heartened by the campaign and the state of his program. “It’s amazing. Our program is one of the best programs in the state, I believe,” Edwards said. “(We finish) 21-3 now on the year. Anyone who doesn’t want 21-3 is [crazy]. Everyone hates to lose this game — everyone wants to win a district championship. Unfortunately, we didn’t. It hurts bad, but we’ve got to build, and I think this year’s team has built on the foundation we brought in and I think next year we’ll continue to build and be a strong team as well.” Jackson advances to a Class 5 sectional May 22 against the District 2 winner between Lindbergh (1811) and Rockwood Summit (17-10-1), to be played today.

an RBI hit to put Scott City on top 4-3. Three additional runs scored when Jimmy May collected an RBI hit that bounced past the left fielder. May later scored from third base on a wild pitch to put Scott City up 8-3. Portageville (17-8) trimmed the deficit to 8-4 when Hunter Gates hit a leadoff triple and Connor Barham followed with an RBI ground-out in the bottom of the fifth inning. Scott City added three runs in the sixth and three runs in the seventh to set the final score. Talley finished 2-for4 with four RBIs while also earning the win on the mound. He pitched the first 6 2/3 innings for Scott City before being lifted, allowing four runs on eight hits with one strikeout, five walks an two hit batters. “He’s been lights out down the stretch,” May said of Talley. “He doesn’t overpower you but he’s crafty and gets things done. We survived today and get to play next week. It’s exciting.” Scott City took a 3-0 lead without a hit in the top of the first inning. Jimmy May and Joe Panagos drew consecutive walks to start the frame and later scored on infield errors. Talley added a sacrifice fly to plate the third run. Portageville tied things up at 3-3 when it scored three runs in the bottom of the second inning. The Bulldogs drew two walks, were plunked twice by pitches and hit two singles. Gabe Hughes was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, Bub Lance drew a bases-loaded walk and Gates picked up an RBI single to knot the score. Alex Riddle pitched the first three innings for Portageville. He allowed eight runs, three runs, walked five. Connor Barham relieved Riddle at the start of the top of the fourth inning. He allowed three runs, three hits, struck out two and walked three in three innings pitched. Kile Adams took over for Barham in the top of the seventh inning, recording two outs, allowing three runs, surrendering one hit and walking three. Scott City finished with eight hits and drew 11 walks. “We knew they had to throw their No. 1 Saturday,” May said of his team’s offensive approach. “We wanted to be patient at the plate and swing at strikes. We made them throw strikes today and when we didn’t we hurt them.” Scott City 305 003 3 — 14 8 1 Portageville 030 010 0 — 4 8 6 WP — Dakota Talley.

Cano placed on DL with broken finger MINNEAPOLIS — The Seattle Mariners say they will have a better idea on the projected length of Robinson Cano’s recovery time after the second baseman is examined by a hand specialist in Philadelphia on Tuesday. The eight-time All-Star broke the pinkie finger of his right hand when hit by a pitch from left-hander Blaine Hardy on Sunday at the Detroit. Cano is batting .287 with four homers and 23 RBIs in 39 games this season. Seattle put Cano on the 10-day disabled list.
Administrative leave extended for Osuna NEW YORK — Major League Baseball has extended the administrative leave of Toronto closer Roberto Osuna by seven days through May 21 as the commissioner’s office investigates a charge of assault filed against the All-Star. Osuna was put on administrative leave by MLB on May 8. The pitcher was charged with one count of assault, according to Toronto Police Constable Jenifferjit Sidhu. The commissioner’s office announced the extension Monday. Osuna, who is from Mexico, is scheduled to appear in court June 18. Administrative leave is not considered discipline. Osuna remains on the restricted list and continues to receive his $5.3 million salary but is ineligible to play. The 23-year-old Osuna is 0-0 with nine saves and a 2.93 ERA in 15 games this season. The righty was an All-Star last year.
Eli Manning settles suit with collectors HACKENSACK, N.J. — Three sports memorabilia collectors who accused New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning of providing bogus “game-worn” equipment that was sold to unsuspecting fans settled their lawsuit against the Super Bowl-winning quarterback on Monday, days before the case was scheduled to go to trial. A spokesman for the defendants, a group that included Manning, the Giants, two equipment managers and Steiner Sports, the company with whom Manning is under contract to provide game-worn jerseys and helmets for sale, said Monday night a settlement had been reached. Plaintiffs Eric Inselberg, Michael Jakab and Sean Godown had sought triple the amount of their alleged losses — which totaled less than $20,000 combined — for buying two helmets billed as worn by Manning. They also had sought punitive damages, and claimed in court filings they would produce evidence that would “show that Manning engaged in a pattern of knowingly providing items to Steiner Sports that he misrepresented as having been game-used when he knew they were not.” Manning and the Giants had denied the allegations. — From wire reports

Ex-Arizona assistant gets prison term TUCSON, Ariz. — A former University of Arizona assistant track and field coach convicted of assaulting a female student-athlete has been sentenced to five years in prison. Craig Carter was sentenced Monday after being convicted in March of aggravated assault and assault with a dangerous instrument. He also pleaded guilty last month to charges of stalking and violating a protective order. Carter will serve three years in prison on the stalking charge and 2 1/2 years for violating the protective order with the sentences running concurrently to the five-year sentence. He had faced up to 23 years in prison. The 50-yearold ex-coach didn’t testify during his trial but admitted to authorities he choked the woman and threatened her with a box cutter in 2015 when she wanted to end their relationship.

HOUSTON — Kevin Durant scored 37 points and Klay Thompson added 28 to lead Golden State to a 119-106 win in the long-awaited showdown with the Houston Rockets in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals on Monday night. Starting a playoff series on the road for the first time since 2014, the Warriors trailed by as many as 9 early, but had evened it up by halftime and used a big run at the beginning of the fourth quarter to pull away. “We’re in the Western Conference Finals they are going to come out with a lot of energy,” Durant said. “We’re going to take that first punch and keep punching.” Game 2 is Wednesday night in Houston.

top-seeded Rockets within 4, but Thompson scored the first eight points of a 13-4 run to make it 100-87 with about eight minutes left. Houston used a 9-3 spurt, where James Harden scored five, to cut the lead to 103-96 with less than five minutes to go. But Thompson struck again, hitting a wide open 3 to leave the Warriors ahead by 10 with four minutes left.
Harden scored 41 to lead the Rockets, who lost at home for the second time this postseason. “You’re not going to come in and just knock them out,” Houston coach Mike D’Antoni said. “There were too many times where we had mental lapses. We didn’t switch properly, turned the ball over and missed too many layups. We need to do a better job of staying up mentally.” Steph Curry added 18 for the Warriors, who are in the conference finals for a franchise-record fourth straight time. It’s Houston’s first trip since 2015 when Golden State won the series in five games. The Warriors, who are the second seed in the West, opened a playoff series away from Oracle Arena for the first time since 2014 when they lost to the Los Angeles Clippers 4-3 in the opening round.
Eagles From Page 1B Reischman produced a run-scoring double. Two batters later, Cole Priggel kept things going with a two-RBI single and later scored on Kole Simms’ sacrifice fly. After another scoreless inning from starting pitcher Layne Johnson, Oran put another three runs on the board in the second. “Everybody hit the ball in the beginning,” Reischman said. “Layne was out there throwing strikes, doing his job. Everybody was playing defense. But them runs definitely helped us out, got us to calm down a little bit.” Ty Johnson led off the inning with a ground-rule double and Layne Johnson drew a walk, setting the table for a Reischman two-out, two-RBI single. Reischman then trotted home when catcher Clay Sauceda doubled off the center-field wall. Just like that, the Eagles led 7-0 after two innings, easing the coaches’ and players’ nerves. “Us going 1-2-3 real quick in that first inning and then putting up four that first inning and then three in the second, it kind of just lets you ease back and you don’t have as much pressure on you,” Bickings said. “You can just play the game of baseball and we were able to do that.” Layne Johnson struck out 15 batters in six innings of two-hit ball, giving up the one run on a solo home run to Jeffrey Allen in the fourth. He issued just three walks and picked up the win. “Layne came out and threw a good game all day,” Bell City coach Justin Simpher said. “He was able to locate, throw his fastball where he wanted to and throw his off-speed and catch us off-balance.
Will Ferrell tossed a onehit shutout as second-seeded Notre Dame baseball cruised past No. 3 Kennett in a Class 4 District 1 Tournament semifinal Monday in Sikeston, Missouri. Ferrell notched 12 strikeouts with no walks for the Bulldogs (16-12), who took an early lead with three runs in the first two innings. Layne Robinson and Reid James led the offense, notching two hits apiece. Zane Wallace suffered the loss for Kennett (16-9), surrendering three earned runs on four hits and one walk in one inning. Notre Dame will face top-seeded Sikeston in the championship at 6 p.m. Wednesday. Notre Dame 210 020 2 — 7 8 3 Kennett 000 000 0 — 0 1 3 WP — Will Faerrell. LP — Zane Wallace. 2B — Layne Robinson (ND), Reid James (ND). Multiple hits — Notre Dame: Robinson 2-4, James 2-3.
Sikeston 15, Perryville 6 Jerome Simpson doubled and drove in three runs but the fourth-seeded Pirates were unable to stop a sixth-inning rally from the top-seeded and host Bulldogs and suffered a season-ending loss in other Class 4 District 1 semifinal. Chase Brown pitched 2 1/3 innings to be marked with the loss for Perryville (1410). He gave up six earned runs on eight hits with three strikeouts and three walks. Will Gilmer was the winning pitcher for Sikeston (16-9-1). He threw 5 2/3 innings and gave up six runs (three earned) on seven hits, struck out five batters and also walked five.

West County 4, Saxony Lutheran 0 KYLE SMITH ~ Dexter Daily Statesman
Oran left-hander Layne Johnson pitches to a Bell City batter during the first inning of the Class 2 District 1 Baseball Tournament championship game Monday in Oran, Missouri. Johnson was the winning pitcher in Oran’s 8-1 victory. Our guys, they were ready. They were ready to put up a fight — just run into Layne. He threw a heck of a game. “They got some early runs, and it’s always tough battling back against a kid that can throw the baseball.” Reischman led the offense, going 3-for-3 with two doubles and four RBIs. Ty Johnson added two hits, and Layne Johnson reached base three times. Oran will play the winner of today’s Class 1 District 1 championship between Cooter and Gideon in a Class 1 sectional May 21 at Oran High School. “Here in the last four or five or six games or so, our pitching, defense and hitting has all been clicking,” Bickings said. “We have to make sure we keep doing that in sectionals, and hopefully beyond that.” Chase Dembowski took the loss for the Cubs, going the distance and giving up seven earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out five. For a youthful Bell City team, its state championship run is officially over.
But after losing so much production from last year’s team, it was a minor upset the Cubs made it back to the district final. They defeated No. 2 Advance in the semifinals Saturday. “Like I always tell the kids at the beginning of the year, it’s a new team,” Simpher said. “Yeah, we had a lot of holes to fill, but we have heart. Our kids had heart. They practiced their butts off all year. ... They gave me their all all year long and kept battling. I couldn’t be more proud.” After getting past a familiar roadblock, Oran turns its attention to next week’s sectional. First, though, the Eagles celebrated a long-awaited district crown. The pregame nerves were gone, replaced by joy and euphoria. “It feels great,” Reischman said. “We really wanted it. It feels amazing to finally get it done senior year.” BC 000 100 0 — 1 2 2 Oran 430 100 X — 8 8 0 WP — Layne Johnson. LP — Chase Dembowski. HR — Jeffrey Allen (BC). 2B — Drew Reischman (O) 2, Clay Sauceda (O), Ty Johnson (O). Multiple hits — Oran: Reischman 3-3, Johnson 2-3.
Tanner King doubled, the only extra-base hit of the game, but the fifth-seeded Crusaders were shutout in a season-ending loss to the top-seeded Bulldogs in the Class 3 District 3 Tournament semifinal at Jefferson High School in Festus, Missouri. Austin Fritsche went three innings on the mound to sustain the loss for Saxony Lutheran (16-7). He allowed four earned runs on three hits, walked six batters and had no strikeouts. Hayden Roney pitched a complete game and recorded 12 strikeouts for West County (15-4).

NHL From Page 1B goals early in a 4-2 win. It looked like they were going to pick up where they left off, but Fleury made key saves early and got help from a teammate and a post in the opening minutes to keep the puck out of his net. After the Jets failed to clear the puck out of a corner in their end, Tatar ended up stuffing the puck in the net after hitting the side of the net with a shot. Connor was pressured into

Genevieve, Missouri. Tenkhoff recorded seven strikeouts and one walk and gave up one unearned run for Chaffee (20-1), which will face No. 2 Valle Catholic in the championship at 4:30 p.m. today. Trae Davis lasted 2 2/3 innings on the mound to be charged with the loss for Meadow Heights (10-8). He allowed five runs (three earned) on four hits, walked two batters and struck out one.
