Hector Morales sits on a debris pile Friday near his home, which was destroyed by Hurricane Michael, in Mexico Beach, Florida. “I have nothing else to do. I’m just waiting,” said Morales as he wondered what he will do next. “I lost everything.”

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN ASSOCIATED PRESS MEXICO BEACH, Fla. — Search-and-rescue teams found at least one body in Mexico Beach, the ground-zero town nearly obliterated by Hurricane Michael, an official said Friday as the scale of the storm’s fury became ever clearer. The death toll across the South stood at 14 including the victim discovered in Mexico Beach.

Miami fire chief Joseph Zahralban, leader of a search-and-rescue unit that went into the flattened town, said: “We have one confirmed deceased and are working to determine if there are others.” Zahralban said searchers were trying to determine whether that person had been alone or was part of a family. Zahralban spoke as his team — which included a dog — was winding down its twoday search of Mexico Beach, the town of about 1,000 peo-

ple nearly wiped off the map when Michael blew ashore there Wednesday with devastating 155 mph winds. Blocks and blocks of homes were demolished, reduced to splintered lumber or mere concrete slabs by the most powerful hurricane to hit the continental U.S. in nearly 50 years. As the catastrophic damage across the Florida Panhandle came into view 48 hours after the hurricane struck, there was little doubt the death toll would rise.

How high it might go was unclear. But authorities scrapped plans to set up a temporary morgue, suggesting they had yet to see mass casualties. State officials said by one count, 285 people in Mexico Beach defied mandatory evacuation orders and stayed behind. Some of them successfully rode out the storm. It was unclear how many of the others might have gotten out at the last minute. See MICHAEL, Page 4A

Missouri voters must decide on 3 medical marijuana plans BY JIM SALTER

ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUIS — Missouri supporters of medical marijuana will have their say in the November election. The only question: Do they cast a yes vote once, twice or three times? Thanks to successful petition drives for three competing proposals, all three are on the ballot. Two would amend the Missouri Constitution; the other would simply change state law. What happens if more than one passes? That’s where things get sticky. According to the Missouri Secretary of State’s Office, the constitutional amendments take precedence over the state law proposition. If both constitutional amendments pass, the one with the most “yes” votes takes effect. But legal experts agree passage of more than one measure will almost certainly result in a court fight. Former Missouri Solicitor General Jim Layton said one key issue remains unclear: If a measure passes but is nevertheless trumped by one of the others, would its non-conflicting provisions also become law? Former Missouri Supreme Court Chief Justice Michael Wolff figures such nuances will be irrelevant to most voters. “If they want medical marijuana, they’re going to vote for all three of them,” Wolff said. All three would allow patients with cancer, HIV, epilepsy and other conditions access to medical marijuana. The differences largely involve how marijuana would be regulated and taxed, and where the new tax dollars would go. Backers of the two competing constitutional amendments are waging a bitter fight. Amendment 2, from a coalition of patients, doctors and veterans called New Approach Missouri, emphasizes the value of medical marijuana for veterans. Post-traumatic stress disorder is among the conditions that would qualify, and a 4 percent sales tax would go to a newly-created fund for health and care services for veterans. The sales tax revenue also would be used to administer licensing of medical marijuana businesses. New Approach Missouri spokesman Jack Cardetti said the measure would “put the decision-making process back in the hands of doctors and patients when it comes to medical treatment options.” The competing Amendment 3 effort is financed almost exclusively by Brad Bradshaw, a Springfield personal injury attorney who also is a medical doctor. It would impose a 15

percent tax on the retail sale of marijuana as well as a wholesale tax on the sale of marijuana flowers and leaves. Those funds would be used to create a new state institute to research “presently incurable diseases.” Critics say the Amendment 3 tax would be far and away the highest in the nation on medical marijuana. Cardetti was critical of a provision in Amendment 3 giving Bradshaw broad powers over operation of the new research institute, including choosing its board members. Bradshaw, who has loaned $1.5 million to the Amendment 3 campaign, also is dealing with two tax liens amounting to more than $119,000. He and his wife were subjects of an $88,166 lien from the Missouri Department of Revenue in November. Bradshaw’s company was the subject of a $31,375 federal tax lien in April. Bradshaw was traveling and unavailable for comment, a spokesman said. His attorney, Kevin J. Kerr, said in a letter to the Post-Dispatch that Bradshaw was in a repayment plan with the state. Kerr blamed the federal lien on the Internal Revenue Service misapplying a corporate payroll payment, and said that matter will soon be resolved. Bradshaw filed lawsuits seeking to have the other two measures removed from the ballot over petition signature issues. A judge in August tossed out the suit over Amendment 2. Bradshaw in September withdrew the case against the state law proposal, Proposition C. Proposition C would impose a 2 percent tax on the sale of medical marijuana to be used for veteran services, drug treatment, early-childhood education and public safety in cities with medical marijuana facilities. Mystery surrounds its backers: Proposition C is supported by Missourians for Patient Care, a political action committee. It has not disclosed its financial supporters. Email and phone messages left with the PR and lobbying firm behind the petition drive were not returned, and an attorney involved in the effort declined to comment. Kevin Sabet, CEO of Washington-based Smart Approaches to Marijuana, said his group opposes all three Missouri measures. “We need to let science take the lead as opposed to sort of making this about medicine by popular vote,” Sabet said. Thirty other states have passed medical marijuana laws. Missouri legislative researchers have estimated more than $100 million worth of medical marijuana could be sold annually if it becomes legal

LOVIN’ LIFE IN SPITE OF LYMPHOMA BY SALLY OWEN

Sticking to the Prayer Theory

SOUTHEASTHEALTH

Noreen recalls after her first infusion chemotherapy, she left the Southeast Cancer Center feeling better than she had in a long time. “When I came back the next day to complete the infusion, I told one of the nurses that I credited it to all the prayers being lifted in my name, to which she replied, “I’m afraid it was the steroids we gave you before the chemotherapy.’ I told her I was sticking to the prayer theory.” Noreen admits that while she is optimistic about the future, “I’ve not been without my pity parties. I’ve come to believe we’re all entitled to a couple of those along this journey. You come to realize, though, to look forward and not back and to appreciate every day as the gift that it is — and to hope those gifts keep coming.” Maintaining a sense of normalcy also is important to both Noreen and Arlan. “We’re getting through it together, better than I thought,” Arlan says. “I thought I wouldn’t plant a garden, but I did. I thought I wouldn’t go fishing, but I do.” Noreen adds, “The last thing I want is for everything to stop.” Now, it’s not so much stop as full steam ahead. After four months of treatment that included two chemotherapy treatments and now Imbruvica, Noreen underwent a PET scan earlier this summer. Miraculously, there were no signs of lymphoma in her full body scan. Noreen and Arlan were overjoyed. They are looking forward to hikes with their “hiking crew” friends in a remote, beautiful area of northwest Arkansas, along with canoeing and fishing. Noreen, an expert nature photographer, hopes to capture fall splendor. She will remain on Imbruvica for now and will have another PET scan in a few months to make sure all is well. Along her journey Noreen has made new friends, including a fellow cancer patient who is a 15-year survivor of lymphoma. “He slipped me a piece of paper bearing five little words that I try to live by these days,” she says. “Scrawled on a half sheet of paper are the words of my newfound 75-year-old friend — “Fear starts where faith stops.”

In her 11 years at The Dexter Statesman, managing editor Noreen Hyslop has written her fair share of news stories and features, ranging from personality features to city council meetings to cancer survivor victories to complicated court cases. Whatever the news of the day, Noreen was on it. What she never considered was writing a feature about herself and her personal battle with cancer. But when readers opened their April 11, 2018, Statesman, Noreen was once again on the front page, this time sharing her personal cancer journey. It was shortly after Christmas when Noreen realized she did not have her usual high energy level. She also was experiencing discomfort in her stomach and lower back. During a routine visit to Southeast HEALTH physician Reza Jalal, MD, of Southeast Internal Medicine of Dexter, Noreen mentioned her symptoms. Dr. Jalal immediately ordered a CAT scan, followed shortly thereafter by a second, then an ultrasound. Within two weeks, she was at Southeast Hospital in Cape Girardeau undergoing a biopsy. The results were far from what Noreen and Arlan Taylor, her partner of 11 years, had hoped for. Noreen had stage IV non-Hodgkins small B cell lymphocytic lymphoma, a cancer of the lymph nodes. Although the cancer diagnosis came, as Arlan puts it, “a kick in the gut,” Noreen is personally familiar with cancer and its effects on the entire family. Including her parents, she is the sixth in her family of 10 to receive a cancer diagnosis. The youngest of her siblings died at 45 of non-Hodgkins lymphoma.

More surprises Noreen was referred to the Southeast Cancer Center and hematologist/oncologist Andrew Dickey, MD. “It’s a bit daunting to put your life in the hands of someone younger than your children, but Dr. Dickey’s confidence and compassion made it an easy transition,” she says. “Some well-meaning friends suggested that I should choose a metropolitan cancer center, but I’m very glad I chose Dr. Dickey.” “Dr. Dickey is so compassionate and kind,” she continues. “My first appointment lasted 44 minutes. He

I hope for a cure for cancer, but that hope comes with fervent prayer and an abundance of faith. I don’t think a true sense of hope can exist without a deep sense of faith. They go hand in hand.” — Noreen Hyslop

takes all the time we need, always asks if we covered everything.” “When Noreen was first diagnosed she had large lymph node masses in her abdomen that were causing her to be very symptomatic,” Dr. Dickey adds. “The decision was made to treat her with an upfront chemotherapy-based regimen to try and rapidly reduce the cancer burden.” However, after additional blood work, Dr. Dickey revealed Noreen had a chromosome abnormality known as “17p deletion.” He explains. “17p deletion is seen in about 10 percent of patients with Noreen’s type of lymphoma (small lymphocytic lymphoma). This is where patients are missing a portion of this chromosome that helps to suppress cancer growth.” That 17p deletion is typically associated with shorter duration of response to chemotherapy and quicker relapse in this type lymphoma. “Noreen received two cycles of a chemotherapy-based regimen with good resolution of her symptoms, and then was switched to Imbruvica, which has been proven to be a more effective long term treatment against the 17p deletion,” he adds. Imbruvica, an oral form of targeted therapy, “targets a specific intracellular pathway in the malignant cells. It has proven to be a very effective treatment in certain lymphomas.” With the steady hum of a police scanner in the background outside Noreen’s managing editor’s office, she, as a veteran journalist, can recount her medical cancer journey with surgical precision. It’s when the talk turns from the medical cornucopia of CT and PET scans, chemo, blood work and more that a different Noreen emerges – a woman with undying faith, optimism, love of family and a touch of humor.

Unions sue over change to Missouri state employee law ASSOCIATED PRESS JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — State employee unions are suing to block a new Missouri law giving administrators greater leeway in hiring, firing and promoting some state workers.

The unions announced the lawsuit Wednesday. Unions involved include the Service Employees International Union, Communications Workers of America and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.

At issue is a law making most state workers at-will employees, which means they can be fired for any reason. Supporters say the changes will give state government managers more flexibility and allow them to hire from a

wider pool of job applicants. But the unions argue it unconstitutionally infringes on state workers’ collective bargaining rights. Office of Administration spokeswoman Brittany Ruess declined to comment on the lawsuit.

Mueller From Page 1A

PEDRO PORTAL ~ Miami Herald via AP

Boats are seen among the rubble along the canals Friday in Mexico Beach, Florida, two days after Hurricane Michael devastated the small coastal town just outside Panama City, Florida.

Michael From Page 1A Emergency officials said they have received thousands of calls asking about missing people. But with cellphone service out across vast swaths of the Florida Panhandle, officials said it is possible some of those unaccounted for are safe and just haven’t been able to contact friends or family. Across the ravaged region, meanwhile, authorities set up distribution centers to hand out food and water to victims. Some supplies were brought in by trucks, while others had to be delivered by helicopter because of debris still blocking roads. Residents began to come to grips with the destruction and face up to the uncertainty that lies ahead. “I didn’t recognize nothing. Everything’s gone. I didn’t even know our road was our road,” said 25-yearold Tiffany Marie Plushnik, an evacuee who returned to find her home in Sandy Creek too damaged to live in. When she went back to

the hotel where she took shelter from the storm, she found out she could no longer stay there either because of mold. “We’ve got to figure something out. We’re starting from scratch, all of us,” Plushnik said. President Donald Trump announced plans to visit Florida and hard-hit Georgia early next week but didn’t say what day he would arrive. “We are with you!” he tweeted. Shell-shocked survivors who barely escaped with their lives told of terrifying winds, surging floodwaters and homes cracking apart. Emergency officials said they had completed an initial “hasty search” of the stricken area, looking for the living or the dead, and had begun more careful inspections of thousands of ruined buildings. They said nearly 200 people had been rescued. Gov. Rick Scott said state officials still “do not know enough” about the fate of those who stayed behind in the region. “We are not completely done. We are still getting down there,” the governor added.

Federal Emergency Management Agency chief Brock Long said he expects to see the death toll rise. “We still haven’t gotten into the hardest-hit areas,” he said, adding with frustration: “Very few people live to tell what it’s like to experience storm surge, and unfortunately in this country we seem to not learn the lesson.” Long expressed worry people have suffered “hurricane amnesia.” “When state and local officials tell you to get out, dang it, do it. Get out,” he said. On the Panhandle, Tyndall Air Force Base “took a beating,” so much so Col. Brian Laidlaw told the 3,600 men and women stationed on the base not to come back. Many of the 600 families who live there had followed orders to pack what they could in a single suitcase as they were evacuated ahead of the storm. The hurricane’s eyewall passed directly overhead, severely damaging nearly every building and leaving many a complete loss. The elementary school, the flight line, the marina and the runways were devastated.

the early 1950s. Mueller was one of only a handful of women studying law at the school at the time, Limbaugh recalled. “She was a real pioneer,” he said of her role as a woman in the legal profession. “She was a very bright person,” Limbaugh said, adding Mueller was “very professional in all her dealings.” He added, “Nothing ever affected her objectivity.” Limbaugh said, “She was a very fair and delightful person.” Still, some male lawyers early on objected to having a woman on the bench. “They were irritated they had to go to a female judge,” Limbaugh remembered. But Limbaugh said she “handled it very well” as a judge. Mueller was appointed as

147th From Page 1A the “Clean Missouri” initiative that would change how legislative districts are drawn in the state and all three ballot measures to legalize the use of medical marijuana. Green, who pastors St. James African Methodist Episcopal Church in Cape Girardeau and also works as a property manager, favors the prevailing-wage law, backs the Clean Missouri measure and supports Amendment 2, one of the statewide measures to allow the use of medical marijuana. Swan supports the gastax-increase measure on the ballot, which would provide a dedicated funding stream for the Missouri State Highway Patrol and more money to cities and counties for road and bridge projects. Green said she is undecided about the measure, which would raise the fuel tax by 10-cents a gallon, spread over the next four years. “I am concerned about low-wage earners who tend to drive less fuel-efficient vehicles. They will definitely feel the impact of a 10-cent per gallon increase,” she said. Green added she is concerned two-thirds of the tax increase would go to the highway patrol when the state needs money to repair roads and bridges. Swan and Green also differ on what is the biggest

a judge in 1955 by then Gov. Phil Donnelly to fill a vacancy. In 1956, she was elected to fill the remainder of the term and won a full term in 1958. In 1962, she decided not to seek re-election, choosing instead to raise her five children, according to Southeast Missourian archives. Mueller returned to the bench in 1974 when she was elected as a Cape Girardeau County associate circuit judge. She continued to win elections and served in that post until her retirement at the end of 1994. In all, she served 27 years as an active judge and four more years as a senior judge under the direction of the Missouri Supreme Court. Limbaugh said his family and Mueller’s were friends despite their political differences. The Limbaughs were Republicans; the Muellers were Democrats. “We had cordial conversations about politics,” Limbaugh recalled. Before becoming a judge,

Mueller and her attorney husband, Paul, practiced law in Jackson. He preceded her in death. At the time of her retirement, she was the only female judge in Southeast Missouri. In 2009, she received the R.A. Fulenwider Meritorious Community Service Award from the Jackson Area Chamber of Commerce in recognition of her legal career and community involvement. She was active in numerous civic organizations, including serving on the board of trustees of Jackson Senior Center and on various boards and committees of New McKendree United Methodist Church in Jackson. She was former president of the historic Old McKendree Chapel. Ford and Sons Funeral Home is handling the arrangements, which are private.

challenge facing state government. Swan said the biggest challenge annually is the constitutionally required task to adopt a balanced budget. Green said the top challenge is poverty. “I believe that we must attract industries paying a livable wage with life-sustaining benefits,” she said. Green and Swan discussed their views in emailed responses to a Southeast Missourian candidates’ questionnaire. Swan, who owns JCS Wireless telecommunications company, said the prevailing-wage law “significantly increases” the cost of construction for public projects and prevents local governments from using tax dollars efficiently. “Very often, the ‘prevailing’ wage is not the actual wage rate that prevails in a city or county. With fewer employers reporting wages, the prevailing wage rate often defaults to a much higher rate paid in a larger metropolitan area, inflating the cost of the project,” Swan said. But Green said “losing highly trained and skilled workers to communities that pay a fair wage will cost Missouri more than we will save.” Swan said she opposes Amendment 1, the Clean Missouri measure, because she doesn’t want to change the existing, “transparent, bipartisan process” for drawing legislative districts. Swan said “instead of a volunteer citizen commit-

tee, this measure would place the bulk of the responsibility” on a demographer hired by the state auditor. Such a move would increase “the potential for the practice of gerrymandering, which benefits only one political party,” she said. The ballot measure also would impose limits on campaign contributions and lobbyist gifts, and require legislative records and proceedings to be open to the public. Green, who is making her first run for public office, said she supports the ballot issue because it would result in a “less partisan approach to drawing districts.” Green added she supports limiting campaign contributions. “Political campaigns should not be won or lost based upon who raises the most money. ... We should win or lose based upon our ability to serve our communities,” she said. Green said she favors use of medical marijuana. She said it is a natural product that has health benefits and “can be the answer to many prayers.” But Swan said she opposes all three ballot measures because they would allow “marijuana to be smoked and place too much authority in state government for rules and regulations.” Swan said she would only consider allowing medical marijuana if it does not involve smoking and is prescribed by a physician.

Nation & World Melania: Loves Trump, ignores rumors BY DINO HAZELL

ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Melania Trump says she loves President Donald Trump and has “much more important things to think about” than allegations he cheated on her with a porn star, a Playboy Playmate or anyone else. Mrs. Trump, who was interviewed by ABC while touring Africa last week, said people are just spreading rumors about her marriage. “I know people like to speculate and media like to speculate about our marriage and circulate the gossip,” she said. “But I understand the gossip sells newspapers, magazines ... and, unfortunately, we live in this kind of world today.” She insisted allegations of her husband’s infidelities are not a concern. Trump, who during the 2016 presidential campaign was heard on an old “Access Hollywood” tape talking about groping and trying to have sex with women, has been accused of having multiple affairs. Porn actress Stormy Daniels and ex-Playboy Playmate Karen

CAROLYN KASTER ~ Associated Press

First lady Melania Trump pauses as she speaks to media during a visit to the historical Giza Pyramids site near Cairo during her recent tour of Africa. McDougal have said they had sex with him years ago. Trump has denied the trysts with Daniels and McDougal but has acknowledged reimbursing his lawyer for a $130,000 hush money payment made to Daniels. Mrs. Trump has generally kept quiet on the subject. Asked in the ABC interview whether she loves her husband, Mrs. Trump said, “Yes, we are fine. Yes.” She played down a sugges-

tion the repeated rumors of his philandering had put a strain on their marriage. “It is not concern and focus of mine,” she said. “I’m a mother and a first lady, and I have much more important things to think about and to do.” But when she was asked whether the repeated rumors had hurt her, she paused. Then she reiterated the “media world is speculating.” “Yeah, it’s not always pleas-

ant, of course,” she said. “But I know what is right and what is wrong and what is true and not true.” Portions of Mrs. Trump’s interview aired Friday on “Good Morning America.” Her full interview aired Friday night in an ABC News special, “Being Melania — The First Lady.” Other portions of the interview aired earlier this week featured Mrs. Trump saying she could be “the most bullied person” in the world and saying women who make accusations of sexual assault need to “show the evidence.” Donald Trump, on the 2005 “Access Hollywood” tape that became public during the 2016 campaign, says when he’s attracted to beautiful women, “I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet.” He said when you’re a star, women let you.” Trump’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty in August to campaign finance violations alleging he, Trump and the National Enquirer tabloid were involved in buying the silence of Daniels and McDougal after they alleged affairs with Trump.

U.S. asks C. America to do more on illegal immigration ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Vice President Mike Pence told leaders of three Central American countries Thursday the U.S. is ready to do more to help their economies if they make a greater effort to fight illegal immigration. “If you do more, I’m here to say on behalf of the president of the United States and the American people, we’ll do more,” Pence said as he opened a conference at the State Department. Pence thanked President Juan Orlando Hernandez of Honduras, President Jimmy Morales of Guatemala and Vice President Oscar Ortiz of El Salvador for having made progress since they met for the first time last year in Miami. But he said over the last year more than 225,000 people from the three Central American countries had attempted to illegally enter the United States, accounting for more than half of all illegal immigrants apprehended at the southern border.

He said while the number of arrests from El Salvador has declined, the flows from Honduras and Guatemala are up 61 percent and 75 percent, respectively. Pence told the three leaders the best way forward for them is to strengthen bonds with the United States “even as countries like China tries to expand their influence in the region.” Washington recalled its diplomatic envoys last month from El Salvador, Panama and the Dominican Republic after those countries cut ties with Taiwan to open diplomatic relations with China. Hernandez replied he would like more certainty about what to expect from the United States, because the funds requested by the Trump administration are less than the money allocated in previous years. The Trump administration proposed $460 million in assistance last year, 30 percent less than what Congress approved in 2016 under President Barack Obama.

Purging long-forgotten online accounts: Worth the trouble? BY BARBARA ORTUTAY

ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — The internet is riddled with long-forgotten accounts on social media, dating apps and various shopping sites used once or twice. Sure, you should delete all those unused logins and passwords. And eat your vegetables. And go to the gym. But is it even possible to delete your zombie online footprints — or worth your time to do so? Earlier this month, a little-used social network notified its few users it will soon shut down. No, not Google Plus; that came five days later, following the disclosure of a bug exposing data on a half-million people. The earlier shutdown involved Path, created by a former Facebook employee in 2010 as an alternative to Facebook. Then there’s Ello sending you monthly emails to remind you this plucky but little-known social network still exists somehow. It might not seem like a big deal to have these accounts linger. But with hacking in the news constantly, including a breach affecting nearly 30 million Facebook accounts, you might not want all that data sitting around. You might not have a choice if it’s a service you use regularly. But for those you no longer use, consider a purge. Plus, it might feel good to get your online life in order, the way organizing a closet does. Take dating apps such as Tinder, long after you found a steady partner or gave up on finding one. You might have deleted Tinder from your phone, but the ghost of your Tinder account is still out there — just not getting any matches, as Tinder shows

only “active” users to potential mates. Or consider Yahoo. Long after many people stopped using it, Yahoo in 2016 suffered the biggest publicly disclosed hack in history, exposing the names, email addresses, birth dates and other information from 3 billion active and dormant accounts. This sort of information is a goldmine for malicious actors looking to steal identities and gain access to financial accounts. Trouble is, cleaning up your digital past isn’t easy. For one, finding all the old accounts can be a pain. For some of us, it might not even be possible to recall every dating site and every would-be Twitter that never was, not to mention shopping or event ticketing sites you bought one thing from and forgot about. Then, you’ll have to figure out which of your many email accounts you used to log in to a service, then recover passwords and answer annoying security questions — assuming you even remember what your favorite movie or fruit was at the time. Only then might you discover you can’t even delete your account. Yahoo, for instance, didn’t allow users to delete accounts or change personally identifying information they shared, such as their birthday, until pressured to do so after the breach. Even without these hurdles, real life gets in the way. There are probably good reasons you still haven’t organized your closet, either. Perhaps a better approach is to focus on the most sensitive accounts. It might not matter a news site still has your log in, if you never gave it a credit card or other personal details (of course, if you reused your bank password

you might be at risk). Rich Mogull, CEO of data security firm Securosis, said people should think about what information they had provided to services they no longer use and whether that information could be damaging should private posts and messages inadvertently become public. Dating sites, in particular, can be a trove of potentially damaging information. Once you’re in a relationship, delete those accounts. It’s wise to set aside a time each year — maybe after you do your taxes or right after the holidays — to manage old accounts, said Theresa Payton, who runs the security consulting company Fortalice Solutions and served under President George W. Bush as White House chief information officer.

Marybelle Mueller Marybelle Dailey Mueller of Jackson died Wednesday, Oct. 10, 2018, at Chateau Girardeau Health Center in Cape Girardeau. She was born Sept. Marybelle 16, 1927, in ChilliMueller cothe, Missouri, to Ernest Woollen and Margaret Lloyd Keiper Dailey. She and Paul A. Mueller Jr. were married June 23, 1951, at Albuquerque, New Mexico. He preceded her in death March 12, 1986. Mueller was a retired associate circuit judge of Cape Girardeau County. She was first appointed as a judge in 1955 and was the first woman lawyer selected as a judge in the state of Missouri. She served for 27 years as an active judge and for four more years as a senior judge under the direction of the Missouri Supreme Court. She graduated from DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana, in 1948, where she was a member of Kappa Alpha Theta and the University of Missouri-Columbia with a law degree in 1950.

ment on fraud charges. Neither did the “hoodoo” spells investigators suspected her of casting to stymie federal investigators, a claim fueled by a peculiar discovery during an FBI search of her home. Collins, a government witness at Bennett’s trial, testified Tuesday he sincerely believed the religious rituals would help Bennett, whose payments accounted for roughly half of his website’s income. “We don’t necessarily pray with a guaranteed outcome,” he added. Bennett, 56, raised more than $20 million from at least 46 investors in her luxury sportswear company, often preying on elderly clients who knew her from a radio show she hosted in the Washington, D.C., area, authorities have said. They said she used investors’ money for her personal benefit, including jewelry purchases, cosmetic medical procedures and a $500,000 annual lease for a luxury suite at the Dallas Cowboys’ home stadium. Bennett told U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis on Thurs-

Mueller was a member of the Democratic Party at the national, state and local level, including Byrd Township, Cape Girardeau County and the women’s organizations. At the time of her retirement in 1995, she was the only woman judge in Southeast Missouri (and so far none have taken her place). Survivors include her five children, Paulette (Lewis) Frazee of Dallas, Dr. Janet Mueller of Tucson, Arizona, Dr. Robert (Elizabeth) Mueller of Columbus, Ohio, and Mary Harriet (Greg) Talbut and Barbara Mueller, both of Jackson; and six grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband and three sisters. All services will be private. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be given to Old McKendree Memorial Association, New McKendree United Methodist Church or Margaret Keiper Dailey Award at University of New Mexico Law School.

day she doesn’t intend to testify at her trial. One of her trial lawyers, Dennis Boyle, said Bennett invested $13 million of her own money into the fledgling apparel business, selling assets and mortgaging homes to generate cash. “She clearly believes that this is a legitimate company,” he said. “It catered to only the most discerning people.” But her apparel business, DJBennett, never made a profit and had at least $15.6 million in liabilities and only $550,000 in revenue by December 2016, according to a complaint filed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The indictment states she also used money from some investors to pay others, but many lost everything they paid Bennett. Joan Barney, a retired travel agent whose husband has Parkinson’s disease and dementia, said she invested a total of $200,000 in Bennett’s business. Barney testified Wednesday she had known Bennett for more than 25 years and believed her promise she could get

her money back, plus 15 percent interest, whenever she needed it. She said Bennett sent her a business plan purportedly showing the company was profitable. “I trusted Dawn,” said Barney, who added Bennett “knew that this was the only money that I had to care for my husband and his illness.” Barney received a $37,500 return on her investment but lost the rest. Another investor, Diane Keefe, fought back tears when she testified she hasn’t recovered any of the $816,805 she paid Bennett. Keefe said Bennett had told her the online apparel company was thriving. “And I believed her,” she said. When FBI agents searched Bennett’s home in Chevy Chase, Maryland, last year, they found instructions for placing people under a “Beef Tongue Shut Up Hoodoo Spell” and biographical information for at least three government attorneys working on the SEC investigation of Bennett, according to an agent’s affidavit.

Ponzi scheme suspect paid $720K for prayers amid securities probe GREENBELT, Md. — An investment adviser charged with orchestrating a multimillion-dollar Ponzi scheme spent nearly three-quarters of a million dollars on prayers by Hindu priests in India to ward off a federal investigation and save her failing business, according to testimony at her trial this week. Using investors’ money, Dawn Bennett paid a man in Washington state approximately $720,000 between 2015 and 2017 to arrange for the priests to perform religious ceremonies meant to ease her troubles, said a Justice Department prosecutor and the man Bennett paid. For one of these “yagya” rituals, Bennett spent $7,250 for five priests to pray for her across 29 consecutive days. “I am in a very very tough fight going against my enemies, and I need all the help I can get,” Bennett wrote in an email to Puja.net website operator Benjamin Collins. Six-figure payments for prayers didn’t spare Bennett from a 17-count indict-

1943

A variety store that has had a Cape Girardeau connection for almost 80 years is one of more than 700 Woolworth Corp. stores targeted for closure under the latest cutback announced by the firm; when the store, located in the Town Plaza Shopping Center, will shut its doors isn’t known. City sales tax revenue is growing at near record rates, revealing a steady recovery from the flat sales of two years ago; this summer’s devastating flood apparently had little effect on sales in Cape Girardeau as tax receipts since July are up 7.3 percent over totals for the same period last year.

Southeast Missouri teachers are back in Cape Girardeau for their 68th annual meeting, during which they will hear from noted speakers on various phases of the postwar program; the main addresses in the morning are delivered by professor John Rufi of the University of Missouri, the president of the Missouri Teachers Association, and H. Roe Bartle, Boy Scout executive at Kansas City, Missouri. A Missouri Wing Command of the Civil Air Patrol is to be formed in Cape Girardeau under direction of Harry E. Scheper; the unit will be assigned specific duties, under direction of the Army Air Forces.

1968 Heavy rains coming in a short period in the morning caused damage to various roads in the county and resulting floodwaters are expected to damage considerable acreages of bottomland corn; heaviest reported rainfall is at Millersville, where 3.2 inches fall in a few hours, putting Byrds Creek out of its banks and sending Whitewater Creek on a fast rise. Before going on to its normal meeting, the Cape Girardeau Board of Education takes a trial run on Central High School’s driving simulators, which were installed this year; the equipment consists of 12 driver’s seats with all the driving controls and a large screen on which a film is shown; the film takes the drivers through various driving maneuvers, while a master console records the driving errors for each of the 12 operators.

1918 At the urging of Mayor H.H. Haas, Judge David P. Dyer adjourns the October term of Federal Court in the morning after passing on only a few cases of minor importance; Haas urged Dyer to adjourn court as a precaution against spreading the Spanish influenza. Cape Girardeau city officials express the belief that the Spanish influenza wave, which has been gradually taking hold of Cape Girardeau, is now well in hand, as only two new cases were reported up to noon and only five had been reported on Saturday and Sunday, compared with more than a dozen a day for Thursday and Friday; while the situation here is apparently improved, conditions at Illmo and Fornfelt and other towns to the south of here are much worse.

Missouri farmer led organic fraud scheme ASSOCIATED PRESS CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — Three farmers who pleaded guilty Friday in a largescale organic grain fraud scheme were lured into participation by a Missouri businessman who was its mastermind, a defense lawyer said. The farmers “convinced themselves to look the other way” while Randy Constant marketed the non-organic corn and soybeans they grew in Overton, Nebraska, as certified organic, attorney Clarence Mock said. They received significantly higher prices for their

grain than they would have on the open market, and improperly rationalized their involvement because they weren’t personally making misrepresentations to customers, he said. “It’s an old story. These are good, otherwise law-abiding people who were lured into one of these situations where if it’s too good to be true, you know it can’t be true,” Mock told The Associated Press. “Obviously there were serious misjudgments here on the part of the defendants. But their conduct could

be characterized as going along for a ride in a vehicle that was driven by Mr. Constant.” Mock spoke before his client Michael Potter, 41; Potter’s childhood friend and neighbor James Brennan, 40; and Brennan’s father, Tom, 70, pleaded guilty to felony wire fraud charges Friday afternoon in federal court in Cedar Rapids. They were released pending later sentencing hearings, where they are expected to face potential prison sentences and orders to forefeit potentially millions of dollars.

TODAY’S PRAYER

Father God, thank you for sending Jesus that we may have eternal life through Him. Amen.

BOARD COLUMN

SEMO’s Coach Tuke reminds his team about the process I

t’s easy to focus on results, particularly in sports. It’s not to say winning isn’t important, because it is. We root for our favorite team to score the most points or make a big defensive play. But winning is the result, not the driver. Last week the Southeast Missouri State football team faced conference foe Tennessee Tech and scored a school record UCAS 70 points in their lopsided win. Scoring 70 RESSON points will get attention. But if you talk with head coach Tom Matukewicz, otherwise known as Coach Tuke, the focus won’t be on the points scored. It will be on the process. “You have to get off the result train,” Tuke said in an interview with me Wednesday afternoon. “If you’re on the result train you’re going to live an up and down life. You really have to get on the process train. It’s about steady process that it takes to accumulate a successful life, not a successful moment.” He wants to win as much as anyone. No question about it. But the path to victory begins and ends with process. “Winning is important. But that can’t be the focus. Focus on winning doesn’t help you win. Focus on the process helps you win.” For Tuke and the Redhawks, the process has four pillars: Attitude, Effort, Discipline and Love. He said attitude is about personal responsibility. “Stand up and own it. I’m responsible for where I’m at because of the decisions I’ve made up until this day.” Effort comes down to not only doing your job, but giving your best effort. Sports reporter Phillip Suitts wrote about this recently with the Redhawks “Sign Off” necklace. When a player gives his best effort, someone on the team will get the necklace out and bring it over in recognition. If you’re “signing off” on something, you’re putting your name on it. Give your best effort. Every play. Every game. And that process, more times than not, will lead to the desired result. Discipline is the third pillar. It’s not about just giving your best effort one time. Or practicing hard one day. It’s the day-to-day, sometimes moment-to-moment, discipline. Or as Tuke said: “Can you repeat it over and over and over?” And finally, love. Tuke is a straight shooter. “It’s not about you,” he said about this pillar. The “Be everything you idea of love, in this conwant your team to text, means being there be, because if it’s and giving your best for not happening in the team. Thinking of me it won’t happen others before self. through me. Or if it’s Like any sport team, not happening in business or organization, the leader, it won’t the process comes down happen through the to leadership — something that has been a foleader.” cus for Tuke in his fourplus years at Southeast TomMatukewicz, whether it be through SEMO head football leadership books or daycoach on leadership to-day coaching. “Leadership is going somewhere and taking somebody with you,” he said. “If you’re not doing both of those, that’s not a leader. If you’re not headed somewhere and you’re not trying to bring someone along with you, you’re not a leader. You’re part of a team.” That’s the simple explanation, but it’s much more complex to demonstrate. “Leadership is taking responsibility for something you can’t really control,” Tuke said. “You can’t control other human beings, but it is your responsibility to lead them.” He knows it’s not possible to control his players, but what he can do is live out a life worth emulating. His faith in Christ is central in that effort. To fill his own bucket he meets with a group of men for lunch each Monday. He said he regularly leaves that group with principles he wants to use in his own life. Tuke talks with an enthusiasm you would expect from a football coach. He’s intense, focused and driven to get the maximum out of this 2018 team. He also knows he has a bigger purpose — to influence as many lives as possible. Not just his players, but the people his players influence in the years to come as husbands, fathers and professionals. “Be everything you want your team to be, because if it’s not happening in me it won’t happen through me. Or if it’s not happening in the leader, it won’t happen through the leader.” It’s a lesson Tuke preaches in football but applies in all aspects of life.

Think your state is fiscally sound? Think again I

t’s that time of the year again when we find out how deep in the red our country is thanks to the 2018 edition of the Mercatus Center State Fiscal Rankings. VERONIQUE The study authors, Eileen Norcross and DE UGY Olivia Gonzalez, find that when you rank states by their fiscal health, you can identify the best and worst state. But the scariest finding is that no state is really fiscally healthy. Norcross and Gonzalez are very transparent about each decision behind the study methodology. They use states’ own audited financial data to create five different indices (cash solvency, budget solvency, long-term solvency, service-level solvency and trust-fund solvency) to analyze and create the overall ranking. The final product is the result of many factors and deliberative choices. Based on the most recent government data available for all states, this year, the top five most fiscally solvent states, from one to five, are Nebraska, South Dakota, Tennessee, Florida and Oklahoma. One thing these states have in common is that they have some cash on hand and relatively low shortterm obligations. That makes them relatively healthier than others. The bottom five states in terms of fiscal solvency, from 46 to 50, are Kentucky, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Connecticut and Illinois. These states face large debt obligations and have

too little cash on hand to pay shortterm bills. It doesn’t take a professional accountant to understand that those bad fiscal habits could spell disaster for states during a recession or emergency. Again, the study’s most important finding is that being at the top makes you healthier than others by comparison but not necessarily healthy overall. In fact, the authors show that every single state would be in trouble if another financial crisis were to happen. For instance, the data show that long-term liabilities have increased over time on average, with a pretty big jump since 2015. This is partly due to a recent transparency requirement by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board that makes states report unfunded pension obligations on their balance sheets. Under the older standards, states didn’t have to report the true size of their pension liabilities. To understand the impact of this change, consider the following: From 2006 to 2014, long-term liabilities per capita grew by about 4 percent annually, on average. Between fiscal year 2015 and fiscal year 2016, that average ballooned by a sobering 54 percent. The older standards were obviously inadequate to expose the true size of the pension liabilities faced by most states. The new standards, however, aren’t perfect either. For instance, until next year when a new requirement will come into effect, states haven’t had to report their health care liabilities, which allowed them to appear more fiscally fit than

they truly were and are. Look at Nebraska, the state in first place overall. Upon closer inspection, the state ranks 37th in budget solvency, which means that it spent more money than it made in tax revenue in 2016. Nebraska’s pensions show that it’s in a worse position than advertised. The state reports unfunded pension liabilities of $1.17 billion. Yet when valued on a true market basis, it’s actually underfunded by $20.9 billion. Nebraska does better than most states on underfunding pensions, but it has room to improve. Its weakening budget position and growing unfunded pension obligations place more pressure on fiscal health than its top rank lets on. Just because your state is ranked higher doesn’t mean you’re ready for a downturn. Alaska is another interesting case study. The state was on the top of the ranking for several years in a row, due to its oil revenue. However, in previous reports, Norcross and Gonzalez warned that an overreliance on oil and the restrictions put on the use of oil revenue could be problematic in an age of decreasing oil prices. Sure enough, a drop in oil prices confirmed their fears. Alaska’s fiscal ranking slid from first to 11th in just two years. For this reason, I’d caution the healthier ranked states to temper their excitement. That top ranking is a little like a kid bragging about getting the best grade in math when it’s a C+ and the class average is closer to an F.

A new era for the China-Russia-US triangle N

early a half-century ago, President Richard Nixon’s secretary of state, Henry Kissinger, established a successful U.S. strategy for dealing with America’s two most dangerous rivals. ICTOR He sought closer ties to AVIS both the Soviet Union, with its more than ANSON 7,000 nuclear weapons, and Communist China, with the world’s largest population. Kissinger’s approach was sometimes called “triangulation.” But distilled down to its essence, the phrase meant ensuring that China and Russia were not friendlier to each other than each was to the United States. Given that the Soviet Union was much stronger than China at the time, Kissinger especially courted Beijing. The idea was similar to British and French policy in the mid-1930s of discouraging Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich from becoming the partner of Josef Stalin’s equally powerful and dangerous Soviet Union. Unfortunately, that effort failed, and Nazi-Soviet cooperation led to their joint invasion of Poland in 1939 and the outbreak of World War II. We forgot Kissinger’s wisdom during the Obama administration’s coddling of China and the schizophrenic Russian “reset.” The reset was initially a disastrous appeasement of Russian conventional and cyber aggressions. Its failure soon led to an about-face demonization of Russian President Vladimir Putin as an anti-democratic authoritarian — as if he had been, or would ever be, anything other than a tyrant. Russia systematically reabsorbed Crimea, leveraged Eastern Europe, caused turmoil in Ukraine, terrified Western Europe, returned to the Middle East after a 40-year hiatus, and hacked into U.S. electoral and political institutions. From 2009 to 2017, U.S. leadership

rationalized that China would soon not just be an Asian and Pacific superpower, but eventually would eclipse America itself — as if its eventual supremacy was destiny rather than being due to U.S. indifference. What followed was systematic and unchecked Chinese commercial and intellectual-property cheating. Beijing stole U.S. technology, ran up huge trade surpluses and warped the entire world trading system. Such one-sided Chinese mercantilism was excused as “free trade.” China’s military aggression in the South China Sea was also winked at by Washington. So the Chinese built artificial bases in the Spratly Islands to bully their neighbors and to manipulate Pacific trade routes. The Obama administration again offered little pushback. As a result, Chinese President Xi Jinping openly bragged that by 2025, China would dominate the global high-tech industry, 10 years later would dominate the Pacific, and by mid-century would run the world. For years, Putin and Xi have shared a contempt for the U.S. They have sought to use Syria, Iran and North Korea to check U.S. influence while waging cyberwar against U.S. companies and institutions. America may be the strongest economic and military power in the world, but it had violated every one of Kissinger’s principles. Russia and China both agreed that the willpower of the U.S. was weak, and despite their own existential differences, they found it mutually profitable to collude in reducing American stature. Our allies noticed. From Scandinavia to the Middle East to Asia, they assumed that America either could not or would not regain its global prestige. The Trump administration has sought to reverse that descent. For all the specious charges of Russian “collusion,” Trump has boxed in Putin with economic sanctions and military aid to Ukraine. He has beefed up defense spending, demanded greater NATO readiness and accelerBob Miller, Editor

ated U.S. oil production — but doing so while also reaching out rhetorically to Putin. Being friendly with a big stick is far wiser than being obnoxious with a twig. Now, the U.S is slapping China with tariffs to force it to reduce its nearly $400 billion trade surplus with the U.S., while also sending U.S. warships deeper into the South China Sea to let our allies know that China will no longer bully them. Trump sought to negotiate directly with North Korea on denuclearization, and to forge new defense partnerships with Australia and Japan. He is also cutting bilateral trade deals with South Korea, Mexico and Canada that will exclude China. China is worried. Trump’s domestic opponents may write him off as a crude buffoon, but Beijing fears that he is a crafty Machiavelli or Sun Tzu, already downsizing Chinese power. China’s stock market is way down. Its economy is slowing and its currency declining. Average Chinese citizens wonder why, in tough times, their leaders are lavishing foreign aid on African countries and other Asian nations while China is mired in a trade war with the U.S. Because Russia is far weaker than China, the U.S. should be reaching out to Moscow to find common interests in checking Chinese power. Russia could be useful in occasionally siding with an emerging common resistance to China that includes Australia, India, Japan, the Philippines, South Korea and Taiwan. Russia certainly has no interest in seeing in its neighborhood a nuclear Iran or an unhinged nuclear North Korea — or having disputes with a Chinese colossus along its 2,600-mile shared border. American appeasement, trade concessions and extraordinary Chinese wealth did not make China a better global citizen. Perhaps stronger U.S. pushback, supported by an array of Asian allies and a conniving Russia, might. Gary Rust, Chairman

PERSPECTIVES

Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh sit on the high court. Trump also pledged to fill the federal appellate courts with young, conservative judges, and so far the Senate has confirmed 29 — more than any recent president at this point in his administration. Trump vowed to pass historic tax reforms, and signed the first major overhaul of the tax code in three decades. He vowed an unprecedented regulatory rollback, with a strict policy to eliminate two existing regulations for every new regulation. In his first year, he achieved $8.1 billion in lifetime regulatory savings and is on track to achieve an additional $9.8 billion this year. During the campaign, he told African American voters, “What do you have to lose? ... I will straighten it out. I’ll bring jobs back. We’ll bring spirit back.” On his watch, African American unemployment reached the lowest level ever recorded, and his tax reform included a little-noticed provision creating “Opportunity Zones” to try to revitalize struggling towns and inner-city communities. Trump promised to cancel President Barack Obama’s Clean Power Plan, withdraw from the Paris climate accord, approve the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines, and open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to exploration. He fulfilled all of those pledges. On trade, he kept his promise to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership and impose tariffs on steel and aluminum. He also committed to renegotiating NAFTA and the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement — and recently signed new deals with Mexico, Canada and South Korea. He committed to imposing tariffs on

POLL RESULTS

Trump could be the most honest president onald Trump may be remembered as the most honest president in modern American history. Don’t get me wrong, Trump lies all the time. He said that he MARC “enacted the biggest tax cuts and reforms THIESSEN in American history” (actually they are the eighth largest) and that “our economy is the strongest it’s ever been in the history of our country” (which may one day be true, but not yet). In part, it’s a New York thing — everything is the biggest and the best. But when it comes to the real barometer of presidential truthfulness — keeping his promises — Trump is a paragon of honesty. For better or worse, since taking office Trump has done exactly what he promised he would do. Trump kept his promise to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, something his three immediate predecessors also promised yet failed to do. He promised to “crush and destroy ISIS,” and two years later he is on the verge of eliminating the Islamic State’s physical caliphate. He promised to impose a travel ban on countries that he saw as posing a terrorist threat, and after several false starts the final version of his ban was upheld by the Supreme Court. He promised to punish Syria if it used chemical weapons on its people, and, unlike his immediate predecessor, he followed through — not once but twice. Trump pledged to nominate Supreme Court justices “in the mold of Justice [Antonin] Scalia,” and now

Whatever one thinks of Trump’s trade policies, he is doing exactly what he said. The president pledged historic increases in defense spending, and delivered. He pledged to bring back manufacturing jobs, and manufacturing jobs are growing at the fastest pace in more than two decades. He pledged to sign “Right to Try” legislation to give dying Americans access to experimental treatments, and did. He pledged to take on the opioid epidemic, and will soon sign a sweeping bipartisan opioids package into law. Where Trump has failed to keep promises, such as building the wall or repealing Obamacare, it has not been for a lack of trying. Only in a few rare instances has he backtracked on a campaign pledge — such as when he admitted that he was wrong to promise a complete withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan and reversed course. I’m glad he did. But whether one agrees or disagrees is not the point. When Trump says he will do something, you can take it to the bank. Yes, he takes liberties with the truth. But unlike his predecessor, he did not pass his signature legislative achievement on the basis of a lie (“If you like your health care plan, you can keep it”) — which is clearly worse than falsely bragging that your tax cut is the biggest ever. The fact is, in his first two years, Trump has compiled a remarkable record of presidential promise-keeping. He’d probably say it’s the best in history — which may or may not end up being true. It’s too soon to tell.

hat did the Kavanaugh controversy tell us about our historical moment? It underscored what we already know, that America is politically and culturally divided and that activists and the two parties don’t just disagree with but dislike and distrust each other. We know also the Supreme Court has come to be seen not only as a constitutional (and inevitably political) body but as a cultural body. It follows cultural currents, moods, assumptions. It has frequently brushed past the concept of democratic modesty to make decisions that would most peacefully be left to the people, at the ballot box, after national debate. So citizens will experience the court as having great power over their lives, and nominations to the court will inevitably draw passion. And this was a fifth conservative seat on a nine-person court. But the Kavanaugh hearings had some new elements. There were no boundaries on inquiry, no bowing to the idea of a private self. Accusations were made about the wording of captions under yearbook photos. The Senate showed a decline in public standards of decorum. A significant number of senators no longer even pretend to have class or imitate fairness. The screaming from the first seconds of the first hearings, the coordinated interruptions, the insistent rudeness and accusatory tones — none of it looked like the workings of the ordered democracy that has been the envy of the world. Two Republican senators this week wrote to me with a sound of mourning. One found it “amazing” and “terrifying” that “seemingly, and without very much thought, nearly half the United States Senate has abandoned the presumption of innocence

in this country, all to achieve a political goal.” The other cited “a truly disturbing result: One of the great political parties abandoning the Constitutionally-based traditions of due process and presumption of innocence.” At the very least, Senate Democrats overplayed their hand. My bias in cases of sexual abuse and assault, and it is a bias, is in favor of the woman. I give her words greater weight because I have not in my personal experience seen women lie about such allegations, and I know the reasons they have, in the past, kept silent. If you know your biases and are serious, you will try to be fair — not to overcorrect but to maintain standards. On Sept. 16, the day the charges made by Christine Blasey Ford appeared in the Washington Post, I was certain that more witnesses and information would come forward. We would see where justice lay. The great virtue of the #MeToo movement is that the whole phenomenon was broken open by numbers and patterns — numbers of victims, patterns of behavior, and the deep reporting that uncovered both. In this case great reporters tried to nail down Ms. Ford’s story. But they did not succeed. The New Yorker story that followed was dramatic but unpersuasive, a hand grenade whose pin could not be pulled. The final allegation, about rape-train parties and spiked punch, was not in the least credible. It was Ms. Ford’s story that was compelling, but in need of support or corroboration. It did not come. It was a woman who redeemed the situation, Sen. Susan Collins of Maine. In her remarks announcing her vote, she showed a wholly unusual respect for the American people, and for the Senate itself, by actually explaining her thinking. Under intense pressure, her remarks were not about her emotions. She weighed the evidence, in contrast, say, to Sen. Cory Booker, who

attempted to derail the hearings from the start and along the way compared himself to Spartacus. Though Spartacus was a hero, not a malignant buffoon. Ms. Collins noted that she had voted in favor of justices nominated by George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump. She considers qualifications, not party. She reviewed Brett Kavanaugh’s 12-year judicial record, including more than 300 opinions, speeches and law-review articles; she met with Judge Kavanaugh for more than two hours, and spoke with him again for an hour by phone with more questions. She judged him centrist in his views and well within the mainstream of judicial thought. He believes, he told her, the idea of precedent is not only a practice or tradition but a tenet rooted in the Constitution. As to Ms. Ford’s charges, since the confirmation process is not a trial, the rules are more elastic. “But certain fundamentally legal principles about due process, the presumption of innocence, and fairness do bear on my thinking, and I cannot abandon them.” “We must always remember that it is when passions are most inflamed that fairness is most in jeopardy.” She called the gang-rape charge an “outlandish allegation” with no credible evidence. At this point it was understood the Democrats had gone too far. It is believable, said Ms. Collins, that Ms. Ford is a survivor of sexual assault and that the trauma “has upended her life.” But the four witnesses she named could not corroborate her account. None had any recollection of the party; her lifelong friend said under penalty of felony that she neither remembers such an event nor even knows Brett Kavanaugh. Ms. Collins said she has been “alarmed and disturbed” by those who suggest that unless Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination was

rejected, the Senate would somehow be condoning sexual assault: “Nothing could be further from the truth.” The atmosphere surrounding the nomination has been “politically charged” and reached “fever pitch” even before the Ford and other charges. It has been challenging to separate fact from fiction. But a decision must be made. Judge Kavanaugh’s record has been called one of “an exemplary public servant, judge, teacher, coach, husband, and father.” Her hope is he “will work to lessen the divisions in the Supreme Court so that we have far fewer 5-4 decisions and so that public confidence in our judiciary and our highest court is restored.” And so, she said, she would vote to confirm. It was a master class in what a friend called “old-style thoroughness combined with a feeling for justice.” A word on the destructive theatrics we now see gripping parts of the Democratic Party. The howling and screeching that interrupted the hearings and the voting, the people who clawed on the door of the court, the ones who chased senators through the halls and screamed at them in elevators, who surrounded and harassed one at dinner with his wife, who disrupted and brought an air of chaos, who attempted to thwart democratic processes so that the people could not listen and make their judgments: Do you know how that sounded to normal people, Republican and Democratic and unaffiliated? It sounded demonic. It didn’t sound like “the resistance” or #MeToo. It sounded like the shrieking in the background of an old audiotape of an exorcism. Democratic leaders should stand up to the screamers. They haven’t, because they’re afraid of them. But things like this spread and deepen. Stand up to your base. It’s leading you nowhere good. And you know it.

Shepard’s murder haunts Wyoming 20 years later BY MEAD GRUVER

ASSOCIATED PRESS LARAMIE, Wyo. — When two roofing workers beat a young gay man to death in Wyoming in 1998, the gruesome crime quickly reverberated around the U.S. and turned the sandy-haired college student into a powerful symbol of the quest for acceptance and equal rights. But two decades after Matthew Shepard was bludgeoned, tied to a rail fence and left to die on the cold high prairie, the emotions stirred up by his slaying linger in Wyoming, which still struggles with its tarnished identity and resists changes sought by the LGBTQ community. “We’re nowhere near done,” said Sara Burlingame, executive director of the Cheyenne-based LGBTQ advocacy group Wyoming Equality. The group’s work today “is the same thing that was there 20 years ago.” As recently as Tuesday, days before the anniversary of Shepard’s death, about 200 people attended a forum in Laramie questioning the

prevailing view he was murdered because of his sexual orientation. Wyoming Equality protested by holding a dance at a civic center down the street, using the slogan “When They Go Low ... We Go Dance.” The acrimony over Shepard’s legacy runs high here, just as it did when anti-gay and gay-rights protesters squared off at his funeral in Casper. Even now, people associate Laramie with the murder. “Once people find out I’m from Laramie, Wyoming, they still zero in on this hate crime,” said Trudy McCraken, who spoke at the forum and was Laramie’s mayor at the time of the slaying. Wyoming remains “deeply defensive” about the idea Shepard was targeted because he was gay, Burlingame said. Known as the Equality State, Wyoming got its nickname for being the first to let women vote. Today it has fewer women in its Legislature than any other state and remains hesitant to adopt policies to counter anti-gay bias and violence.

Kiah Morris, a former Vermont state representative, discusses threats and harassment she’s faced, during an interview Oct. 3 in Bennington, Vermont. Morris, the only black woman in the Vermont legislature, has resigned.

Black legislator quits amid racist threats BY LISA RATHKE

ASSOCIATED PRESS BENNINGTON, Vt. — Voters in this very liberal, very white state made Kiah Morris a pioneer when in 2014 they elected her as its first black female legislator. Two years later, another Vermont surfaced: racist threats eventually forcing her to leave office in fear and frustration. After she won the Democratic primary for re-election to the state legislature in 2016, someone tweeted a cartoon caricature of a black person at her, along with a vulgar phrase rendered in ebonics. The tweeter threatened to come to rallies and stalk her, Morris said. She won a protective order against him, but once it expired, the harassment continued, she said. The harassment escalated into a break-in while the family was home, vandalism and death threats seen by her young son. Even after she announced she wouldn’t seek re-election, despite running unopposed, a group of youths pounded on her windows and doors at night, forcing her and her husband, convalescing after heart surgery, to leave town. Finally, in late September, she resigned. “There’s obviously online harassment that can happen, and that’s a part of our social media world right now, but then when things started happening in everyday life, that’s when it becomes really worrisome and terrifying,” she said in a recent interview with The Associated Press. Amid the racial and ideological polarization consuming the country, the Morris case highlights the dangers politicians of color face. And it reinforces even liberal bubbles such as Vermont shouldn’t get too confident or comfortable in their cloaks of inclusivity. No one should have to endure what Morris did, said Vermont House Speaker Mitzi Johnson, a white Democrat. “This is deep racism com-

ing out, and there are Vermonters hunting down other Vermonters here. This is awful for our state,” she said. “Rather than shake our heads and say, ‘Oh, what a shame,’ we all need to buckle down and figure out what steps we can take, what steps each of us can take, however large or small, to erode some of the system that allow racism to continue.” The sheriff of New Jersey’s most populous county resigned last month after a recording surfaced in which he made derogatory remarks about blacks and the state’s first Sikh attorney general. In August, a Georgia man was sentenced to prison for racist threats against two U.S. senators, including black South Carolina Republican Sen. Tim Scott. “Racism and racial animus is a chronic illness of this country. It’s not something that just comes in waves in certain places. It’s always there simmering,” said Gloria Browne-Marshall, a professor of constitutional law at New York’s John Jay College of Criminal Justice and author of the book “Race, Law and American Society: 1607 to Present.” Vermont was the first state to abolish slavery and in 2000 became the first to legally recognize same-sex civil unions, a precursor to gay marriage. It has elected Green Party and Socialist candidates. Even its Republican governor would be considered left of center in a conservative state. But Vermont is also 94.4 percent white, according to census statistics. The black population is just 1.4 percent, or about 8,700 people. In recent years, like elsewhere in the country, racism has bubbled up, including white supremacist flyers posted this year on college campuses. “In a state that wants to promote itself as this liberal bastion, the majority of people outraged should have been there protecting” Morris, Browne-Marshall said.

It is among just five states — along with Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana and South Carolina — that have not passed laws focused on crimes motivated by the victim’s identity, such as their sexual orientation. President Barack Obama signed a federal hate crime prevention act named after Shepard in 2009, a law Shepard’s mother, Judy Shepard, said has been helpful. Laramie did not pass an ordinance barring discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity until 2015. The University of Wyoming created its diversity office only last year. Attorneys for Wyoming in 2014 argued in defense of the state’s definition of marriage as only between a man and a woman, a case later rendered moot by higher court rulings. Attitudes against homosexuality persist in Wyoming, but LGTBQ acceptance has advanced, said Jason Marsden, executive director of the Denver-based Matthew Shepard Foundation. “Twenty years on, it’s a

He later died. heck of a lot closer to being a place where people can enjoy their lives more or less equally,” said Marsden, who was a newspaper reporter and friend of Shepard’s at the time of his killing. The convicted killers, Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson, are each serving

two consecutive life sentences. Henderson, now 41, said the U.S. should have laws that protect everyone, no matter who they are. “As tragic as it is, and as unfortunate as it is, and as hard as it is for Matthew’s family, and for my family,

for all of us, to go through, it opened up all of us to be better people and really think about who we are,” Henderson said of Shepard’s death in a prison interview Tuesday with The Associated Press. Still, he insisted, neither he nor McKinney was motivated by anti-gay hatred when they offered Shepard a ride home from a bar. Instead, he said, they were out to rob him of money and possibly drugs when they drove him to the edge of town on the night of Oct. 6, 1998. He described himself as a follower of others, including the more charismatic McKinney, and was afraid to lose face by doing more to prevent the crime or just going home. As Henderson drove, McKinney began pistol-whipping Shepard and took his wallet. Henderson tied Shepard to the fence after McKinney told him to do it, he said. Then they left Shepard in the frigid darkness. The next day, a mountain biker found him. He died less than a week later, on Oct. 12, 1998, at age 21.

Trump vows to unearth truth about Khashoggi disappearance

Sunday, October 14, 2018

Still no U.S. ambassadors in Saudi Arabia, Turkey

BY ZEKE MILLER AND SUZAN FRASER

BY MATTHEW LEE

ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump declared Friday the U.S. will uncover the truth about what happened to journalist and U.S. resident Jamal Khashoggi, whose possible murder at Saudi hands after disappearing in Istanbul has captured worldwide attention. Trump promised to personally call Saudi Arabia’s King Salman soon about “the terrible situation in Turkey.” “We’re going to find out what happened,” Trump pledged when questioned by reporters in Cincinnati where he was headlining a political rally. Khashoggi, a forceful critic of the Saudi government, went missing more than a week ago after entering a Saudi consulate in Istanbul, and Turkish officials have said they believe he was murdered there. U.S. officials say they are seeking answers from the Saudi government and are not yet accepting the Turkish government’s conclusions. The Saudis have called accusations they are responsible for Khashoggi’s disappearance “baseless.” Widely broadcast video shows the 59-year-old writer and Washington Post contributor entering the consulate Tuesday of last week, but there is none showing him leaving. Both Turkey and Saudi Arabia are important U.S. allies in the region. Trump said Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin will evaluate whether to attend a Saudi investor conference later this month. Mnuchin had indicated earlier Friday he still planned to attend. On Thursday, Trump had said U.S. relations with Saudi Arabia were “excellent” and he was reluctant to scuttle highly lucrative U.S.

WASHINGTON — The disappearance of journalist and U.S. resident Jamal Khashoggi after visiting a Saudi consulate in Turkey has thrown the large number of diplomatic vacancies under President Donald Trump into the spotlight — notably in Turkey and Saudi Arabia. It’s a gap the administration says it has been trying to fix but with limited success. Khashoggi’s case and the fact there are no American ambassadors in either Ankara or Riyadh have prompted concerns about dozens of unfilled senior State Department positions almost two years into Trump’s presidency. And, those concerns have sparked an increasingly bitter battle with Congress over who is to blame. Aside from Saudi Arabia and Turkey, Trump has not nominated candidates for ambassadorial posts in 20 nations, including Australia, Egypt, Ireland, Mexico, Pakistan, South Africa, Singapore and Sweden. At the same time, 46 ambassadorial nominees are still awaiting Senate confirmation, prompting angry complaints from the administration and pushback from Democratic lawmakers. A number of ambassador positions to international organizations also remain unfilled as do 13 senior positions at the State Department headquarters, for which five have no nominee. It’s unclear whether high-profile issues like Khashoggi’s disappearance suffer from neglect in the absence of an ambassador. Indeed, Turkey freed American pastor Andrew Brunson on Friday after repeated complaints and

A number of members of Congress have pressed the Trump administration to impose sanctions on the country in response to the Khashoggi affair. Meanwhile, Khashoggi’s fiancee said Friday in an interview with The Associated Press he was not nervous when he entered the Saudi consulate to obtain paperwork required for their marriage. “He said, ‘See you later my darling,’ and went in,” Hatice Cengiz told the AP. Citing anonymous sources, the Post reported Friday that Turkey’s government has told U.S. officials it has audio and video proof Khashoggi was killed and dismembered. The AP has not been able to confirm the report. In written responses to questions by the AP, Cengiz said Turkish authorities had not told her about any recordings and Khashoggi was officially “still missing.” She said investigators were examining his cellphones, which he had left with her. Saudi Arabia says Khashoggi left the consulate. He hasn’t been seen since, though his fiancee was waiting outside.

A delegation from Saudi Arabia arrived in Turkey on Friday as part of an investigation into the writer’s disappearance. In a statement posted on Twitter, the Saudis welcomed the joint effort and said the kingdom was keen “to sustain the security and safety of its citizenry, wherever they might happen to be.” Cengiz said she and the journalist would have been married this week and had planned a life together split between Istanbul and the United States, where Khashoggi had been living in self-imposed exile since last year. She had earlier appealed for help to Trump, who said he would invite her to the White House. Cengiz didn’t respond to a question about that, but earlier Friday she urged Trump on Twitter to use his clout to find out what happened. “What about Jamal Khashoggi?” she wrote in response to a tweet by Trump in which he said he said he had been “working very hard” to free an American evangelical pastor who has been held for two years in Turkey. Andrew Brunson was released late Friday.

sanctions from Washington. But the management of day-to-day diplomatic relations can languish without a personal representative of the president present. The difference between having an ambassador in country or having only a charge d’affaires running an embassy is a matter of degree but can be substantial, according to Ronald Neumann, the president of the American Academy of Diplomacy. Non-ambassadors can have trouble getting access to senior officials and may not be viewed as the legitimate voice of the president or his administration. “It’s a lot harder when you’re not the presidential appointee and you don’t have Senate confirmation,” he said. “An ambassador is the personal representative of the president. A charge is the representative of the State Department.” In addition to problems with access, some countries may resent not having an ambassador posted to their capital, Neumann said. “Countries may get grouchy without an ambassador and that may affect relations,” he said. “Without an ambassador, there is a greater chance of misunderstanding and greater chance you aren’t able to persuade them to do something we want.” “There are real, direct impacts of not having these people confirmed,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said earlier this month, making the case for the Senate to act quickly. Those remarks set off a war of words with Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., the ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who was singled out by Pompeo for blame.

“I want every single American to know that what Sen. Menendez and members of the Senate are doing to hold back American diplomacy rests squarely on their shoulders,” Pompeo said. He later maintained Senate Democrats are blocking more than a dozen nominees “because of politics” and are “putting our nation at risk.” Menendez fired back, accusing Pompeo of politicizing the process and blaming confirmation delays on the unsuitability of candidates for certain posts and the Republican leadership for not calling votes on the others. He also slammed the administration for failing to nominate candidates for critical posts. “We cannot confirm nominees who have not been nominated,” he noted wryly, adding some nominees had been or are currently being blocked by Republicans. Two cases in point: The nominee for the top U.S. diplomat for Asia, a career foreign service officer, was forced to withdraw earlier this year after Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said he would do everything in his power to stop the nomination. The career diplomat nominated to be ambassador to Colombia is being blocked by Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah. Pompeo responded by again blaming Menendez for holding up more than 60 nominees and using them as a “political football.” “We need our team on the field to conduct America’s foreign policy,” he said. Perhaps as a result of the sparring, the Senate late Thursday did vote to confirm several ambassadorial nominees, including those to Bangladesh, Nicaragua, Suriname and Somalia.

Trump-Xi talks raises hope for thaw in trade war BY CHRISTOPHER BODEEN AND MARTIN CRUTSINGER

ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIJING — With China and the United States opening the door to a meeting next month between Presidents Xi Jinping and Donald Trump, hopes are rising for a potential easing of tensions in the trade war between the world’s two largest economies. Worries about the increased tariffs the two sides have imposed on each other’s goods have contributed to this week’s dizzying volatility in financial markets. The higher tariffs have elevated costs for companies in both countries, and economists say if they remain in place indefinitely, they could depress economic growth. A Xi-Trump meeting, if it happens, would take place during a summit of leaders of the Group of 20 biggest global economies in Argentina in late November. In Bali, Indonesia, where he’s attending global finance meetings, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said, “We are having discussions about a potential meeting.” Later Friday, Larry Kudlow, Trump’s top economic adviser, said in Washington preparations for the talks were underway. “It looks like there will be a meeting in Buenos Aires at the G-20,” Kudlow said in an interview with CNBC. “We are looking at it. The Chinese are looking at it. Preparations are being made. I can’t say 100 percent certainty, but there

“I expressed my concerns about the weakness of the currency.” Mnuchin said. He said in the discussions he had with the Chinese, they had made clear they didn’t see a further weakening of the Chinese yuan as being in their interests. Concerns have been raised China, the largest foreign holder of U.S. Treasurys, might start dumping its holdings as a way to pressure the United States in the trade dispute. But Mnuchin said this possibility didn’t concern him because it would be contrary to Beijing’s economic interests to start dumping its Treasury holdings. “That would be very costly for them,” Mnuchin said. China’s surplus with the United States widened to a record $34.1 billion in September as exports to the American market rose 13 percent from a year earlier to $46.7 billion, down slightly from August’s 13.4 percent growth. Imports of American goods increased 9 percent to $12.6 billion, down from August’s 11.1 percent growth. Beijing’s exports to the United States have at least temporarily defied forecasts they would weaken after being hit by punitive U.S. tariffs of up to 25 percent. September marked the second straight record Chinese monthly trade surplus with the United States. Export numbers have been buoyed by producers rushing to fill orders before American tariffs rose.

Pastor Andrew Brunson, front left, arrives at home after his release Friday following his trial in Izmir, Turkey. A Turkish court convicted him on terror charges but released him from house arrest and allowed him to leave Turkey.

U.S. pastor released from house arrest, leaves Turkey BY ZEYNEP BILGINSOY

ASSOCIATED PRESS IZMIR, Turkey — An American pastor flew out of Turkey on Friday after a Turkish court convicted him of terror links but freed him from house arrest, removing a major irritant in fraught ties between two NATO allies still strained by disagreements over Syria, Iran and a host of other issues. The court near the western city of Izmir sentenced North Carolina native Andrew Brunson to just more than three years in prison for allegedly helping terror groups, but let him go because the 50-year-old evangelical pastor had already spent nearly two years in detention. An earlier charge of espionage was dropped. Hours later, Brunson was transported to Izmir’s airport and was flown out of Turkey, where he had lived for more than two decades. He was to be flown to the U.S. military hospital in Landstuhl, Germany, then on to Washington, where he was to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday. “I love Jesus. I love Turkey,” an emotional Brunson, who had maintained he was innocent of all charges, told the court during Friday’s hearing. He tearfully hugged his wife, Norine Lyn, as he awaited the court decision. “PASTOR BRUNSON JUST RELEASED. WILL BE HOME SOON!” Trump tweeted after the American was driven out of a Turkish

prison in a convoy. Later, after Brunson was airborne, Trump told reporters the pastor had “suffered greatly” but was in “very good shape,” and he would meet with him at the Oval Office. Brunson’s release was a diplomatic triumph for Trump, who is counting on the support of evangelical Christians for Republican candidates ahead of congressional elections in November. It could also benefit Turkey, allowing the government to focus on an escalating diplomatic crisis over Jamal Khashoggi, a Saudi contributor to The Washington Post who went missing more than a week ago and is feared dead after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. Turkish officials suspect Khashoggi was killed in the consulate; Saudi officials deny it. Turkey could now hope the U.S. will lift tariffs on Turkish steel and aluminum imports, injecting some confidence into an economy rattled by high inflation and a mountain of foreign currency debt. Friday’s ruling followed witness testimony seeming to partly undermine the prosecutor’s allegations and highlighting concerns Turkey had been using the U.S. citizen as diplomatic leverage. Turkey bristled at suggestions its judicial system is a foreign policy instrument and has accused the U.S. of trying to bend Turkish courts to its will with tariffs in August helping to send the Turkish currency into freefall.

caterina’s health. The junior signal-caller never missed a game, and now, over a month later the Redhawks return

home with a winning record thanks to their first win at Tennessee Tech in 15 years. Coming off that record 70-point performance, SEMO hosts Austin Peay on homecoming at 1 p.m. Saturday at Houck Field with a chance to grab a second consecutive Ohio Valley Conference win. “We got our work cut out for us, but certainly glad to

be home,” SEMO coach Tom Matukewicz said. “It’s homecoming. There seems be a little buzz about it. I know our team plays better when they’re a lot of people in the crowd, and it seems like that’s going to be the case.” Southeast will even break out new red home uniforms, from Under Armour, for the game. The red jerseys, with

white numbers, are complemented by red pants with white and black helmets. It’s a new look for the Redhawks, and they hope it produces a different outcome than last year when they fell to Austin Peay 38-31. The Governors (3-3, 1-2 OVC) are coming off a 49-34 win over Tennessee State that snapped a two-game los-

ing streak. Quarterback Jeremiah Oatsvall rushed for a game-high 76 yards and two touchdowns and threw for 189 yards and a score. Oatsvall torched the SEMO defense last year, completing 13 of 22 passes for 199 yards and two TDs and adding 66 yards and a touchdown on See REDHAWKS, Page 2B

Tigers to climb in ring with top HWT — No. 1 Alabama BY JOHN ZENOR

Jackson improved to 8-0 with a 56-0 shellacking of Hillsboro at The Pit and moved within one victory of an undefeated regular season

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — It’s the Southeastern Conference’s top young gun versus the elder statesman. No. 1 Alabama’s quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, the high-flying sophomore star, takes on Missouri and its own prolific passer Drew Lock Saturday night. It’s an intriguing matchup of talented quarterbacks in a game where the so far unchallenged Crimson Tide (6-0, 3-0 SEC) is favored by four touchdowns. Lock is the reigning AllSEC passer with 10,000plus career yards for the Tigers (3-2, 0-2). But when Alabama coach Nick Saban sings his praises, he could just as easily be talking See MISSOURI, Page 2B

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN Another quick start, another big lead and another comfortable victory, and now the Jackson football team is just one win away from a historic achievement. The Indians jumped out to a 49-point halftime lead and cruised to a 56-0 win over visiting Hillsboro in their final regular-season home game on a rainy night at The Pit. With the victory, Jackson improves to 8-0 and is just one win away from its first undefeated regular season

since 2007. “Honestly, at the beginning of the season, we didn’t know what was going to happen,” senior linebacker Tristen Koenig said. “We did not expect to be undefeated right now, but it’s a goal you set to push yourself and strive to achieve those goals.” Quarterback Cael Welker had five first-half touchdown passes — all to senior Jordan Kent — and Jackson took a 49-0 lead into halftime. Neither played in the final two quarters. See INDIANS, Page 4B

ASSOCIATED PRESS MILWAUKEE — So they can hit, too. Reliever Brandon Woodruff stunned ace Clayton Kershaw with an early home run and Milwaukee’s normally shutdown bullpen held on — barely — as the Brewers beat the sloppy Los Angeles Dodgers 6-5 Friday night in Game 1 of the NL Championship Series. Hard-throwing Josh Hader and the Brewers earned their 12th straight win, one shy of the franchise record set to open the 1987 season. The Dodgers scored three times in the eighth to make

it 6-4, then nearly tied it in the ninth. Chris Taylor hit an RBI triple off center fielder Lorenzo Cain’s glove with two outs before Corey Knebel fanned Justin Turner to end it. Kershaw was chased before he could retire a batter in the fourth inning. Manny Machado homered and drove in three runs for Los Angeles. The Dodgers committed four errors, including two by catcher Yasmani Grandal, who also had two passed balls. Game 2 is Saturday at Miller Park, with Wade Miley pitching for the Brewers See NLCS, Page 4B

NHL

League criticizes reduction of suspension for Predators’ Watson ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — The NHL is criticizing an arbitrator’s decision to reduce the suspension of Nashville Predators forward Austin Watson, who pleaded no contest in July to a domestic assault charge. Watson received a 27-game suspension from NHL commissioner Gary Bettman last month. The NHL and NHL Players’ Association announced Thursday arbitra-

tor Shyam Das had reduced it to 18 games. The NHL issued a statement Friday saying “we are disappointed with the Arbitrator’s decision.” “We firmly believe that the right of appeal to an arbitrator of League discipline was never intended to substitute the arbitrator’s judgment for that of the Commissioner, particularly on matters of important League policy and the articulation of ac-

ceptable standards of conduct for individuals involved in the National Hockey League,” the NHL said in its statement. The NHL added “we will not hesitate to adhere to and enforce — through firm discipline as necessary — the standards of personal conduct we feel are appropriate for our league.” The NHL doesn’t have a written domestic violence policy and takes each situa-

tion on a case by case basis. The NHLPA also released a statement Friday, saying: “The NHLPA takes domestic violence seriously and continues to work together with the NHL to ensure that players are educated on this important societal issue. “As part of those efforts, the NHL/NHLPA conduct domestic violence awareness training at our Rookie Orientation Program and during the season for all NHL players.

“The CBA provides players with the right to appeal discipline imposed by the NHL for off-ice conduct to an impartial arbitrator. This essential right is intended to encourage the fair and consistent application of discipline. The arbitrator’s independence helps ensure that the process and decision are fair. That is a principle to which we should always strive to adhere, even in cases where the subject matter

is as difficult as domestic violence.” Watson was arrested June 16 after a witness flagged down a police officer to a gas station in Franklin, Tennessee. Watson told police he and his girlfriend were arguing and that he pushed her. Officers said they found red marks on her chest, and she said Watson caused them. Watson pleaded no contest to domestic assault on July 24.

Redhawks From Page 1B the ground. Governors running back Kentel Williams is also back after rushing for 148 yards and a touchdown on eight carries last year against SEMO. “It’s going to be a challenge,” Matukewicz said. “I think the biggest thing is just being able to tackle them and not give up the big play. That’s kind of what got us last year.” Govs senior Nate Howard is coming off a performance that earned him the honor of OVC Defensive Player of the Week as he racked up five tackles against TSU, including two for a loss, a sack and forced and recovered a fumble. The Redhawks (3-2, 1-1) set a program record for points scored during the 70-38 win over TTU last week. They did that with star running back Marquis Terry rushing for two yards on two carries. Terry was injured

during a 23-14 loss to Eastern Kentucky on Sept. 22. He got a chance to rest with SEMO on a bye the following weekend and started against TTU as the offense took the opening possession and marched down the field for a touchdown. He never returned. The next time the offense got the ball, SEMO was up 14-0 and perhaps decided to give Terry some more rest. Terry, who rushed for a school-record 311 yards against Southern Illinois on Sept. 15, was seen wearing a walking boot on his left foot earlier this week. Santacaterina led the way against The Golden Eagles, throwing for 395 yards and four touchdowns on 20-of-27 passing and being tabbed OVC Newcomer of the Week. It was a bounceback performance after Santacaterina threw four interceptions in that defeat at EKU. “It just shows you his character, and that’s why athletics is such a great teacher of life,” Matukewicz said. “You’re going to have some bad days, and

they’re going to happen. You’ve got to learn from them, but you’ve got to get up the next day and move forward and that’s what he did. It crushed him. No one felt worse than him at EKU, but he put the work in.” When SEMO last played a home game, Santacaterina was coming back from a hit to the head area against Arkansas State that knocked him out of the season opener and sent him to a local hospital for precautionary measures. He responded with a solid game in the home opener, throwing for 269 yards and three TDs in a 40-21 win over Dayton. Now, the Redhawks are back home and hoping for another solid performance, and another win. “We’re getting there as far as how hard you have to play and how physical you have to be to play Division I,” Matukewicz said. “I think we’re playing together. Sometimes we may have to win on defense. Sometimes we may have to win on offense.”

Yanks SS Gregorius to have arm surgery NEW YORK — Yankees star shortstop Didi Gregorius needs Tommy John surgery on his right elbow after injuring himself making a throw in Boston during the AL Division Series, and there’s no telling exactly when he’ll be able to play again. General manager Brian Cashman said Friday that Gregorius will be out “until sometime next summer.” Cashman said the team will have a better idea about his return after surgery, which hasn’t yet been scheduled. The surprise announcement at Yankee Stadium led to immediate speculation the team might eventually make a big move to fill the void — pursuit of All-Star infielder and free agent-tobe Manny Machado, now in the NL playoffs with the Los Angeles Dodgers. In the meantime, second baseman Gleyber Torres is the Yankees’ top internal solution at shortstop, Cashman said. “The best option is Didi,” Cashman said. “We’ll wait on him.” The 28-year-old Gregorius is the anchor of the Yankees’ infield, popular with his teammates and a fan favorite. Gregorius broke his own club record for home runs by a shortstop by hitting 27 this year. He batted .268 with 86 RBIs. He is eligible for free agency after the 2019 season.

BRIEFLY

SEAN RAYFORD ~ Associated Press

Missouri quarterback Drew Lock attempts a pass against South Carolina linebacker Bryson Allen-Williams during last week’s game in Columbia, South Carolina. Missouri lost 37-35.

Missouri From Page 1B about Tagovailoa. “He’s got to be one of the top quarterbacks in the country,” Saban said. “He’s athletic enough to make plays with his feet or pull the ball every now and then and run it. I think he’s a smart player. I think he does a good job of executing his offense. I think they’ve got some really good skill guys on offense and they’ve got a really good scheme, and he does a great job of executing it. He’s a very, very talented guy. “I don’t know how many quarterbacks are better than him in the country, but he’s got to be one of the best. He’s got to be right up there at the top.” Lock is coming off subpar performances in losses to South Carolina and No. 2 Georgia. He completed less than half his passes in both games with three interceptions and no touchdowns. Tagovailoa is leading the nation in passing efficiency and has emerged as possibly the Heisman Trophy front-runner. Saban said Tagovailoa has a sprained knee and wore a protective brace but wasn’t limited in prac-

tice during the week “so that’s not an issue.” Missouri is still missing deep threat Emanuel Hall and coach Barry Odom also said receiver Nate Brown remains limited by an injury. Both missed the South Carolina game . Alabama will face Lock without starting cornerback Trevon Diggs , who broke his foot in the Mississippi State game and may be out for the season. It’s especially challenging timing with Lock coming to Bryant-Denny Stadium after Arkansas scored 31 points against the Tide. “They have a prolific offense,” Tide safety Deionte Thompson said. “Drew Lock is hands down one of the best quarterbacks in the nation, if not the best. The way that he can get the ball out of his hands is very fast. The way they move — they average a play every six seconds after the ball is snapped.” Here are some other things to watch in the Missouri-Alabama game:

Facing 1 and 2 Missouri already has given No. 2 Georgia a competitive game. The Tigers lost 43-29, but the Bulldogs scored on a fumble return and blocked punt.

Bama’s fast starts Alabama

has

twice

scored on its first offensive plays of the game and has racked up multiple touchdowns in the first quarter in all six games. “We need to try and do the same thing, whether we start out on offense or defense, to withstand the first punch, so to speak,” Odom said. “We’ve got to be ready and prepared to go do that.”

Stopping the run This is generally Alabama’s calling card, but Missouri has been even better at shutting down opposing runners. The Tigers rank second in the SEC and 15th nationally in run defense, allowing just 107.4 yards per game.

Kicking games Missouri’s Tucker McCann is coming off a 5-of6 field goal performance against South Carolina, including a 57-yarder with 1:18 left. He leads the league in scoring. Alabama already has missed four point after attempts and Joseph Bulovas is 5 of 8 on field goals since taking over the starting job.

On the rebound Missouri is coming off a 37-35 loss to South Carolina on a last-second field goal by Parker White. The Tigers also have been in another tight game, beating Purdue 40-37.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Chiefs wide receiver DeAnthony Thomas fractured his leg during practice and could miss the rest of the season, the latest in a string of injuries to befall the unbeaten team. The Chiefs also listed Justin Houston as doubtful for Sunday’s game in New England with a hamstring injury. Safety Eric Murray is out with an ankle injury and Jordan Lucas will start in his place. Thomas was taking part in Thursday’s practice when he got stepped on from behind, fracturing the same leg that he broke in a game last December. Thomas had surgery to repair the break and had a metal rod inserted, though the latest break didn’t damage that repair. Chiefs trainer Rick Burkholder said Thomas won’t need surgery, though he will be out for a lengthy period of time.

D-backs to switch to artificial surface PHOENIX — The Arizona Diamondbacks are switching from natural grass to an artificial surface in time for the 2019 season. Team president Derrick Hall says the “state-of-art” synthetic grass will be better for players. He also says it will enhance the fan experience because the roof of Chase Field won’t have to be open during the day before night games. That will allow for cooler conditions throughout the day in the ballpark. Hall says the challenges of maintaining a grass field in the desert environment are well documented and the team has looked at artificial surfaces for many years. The Diamondbacks have played on natural grass since the team’s inception in 1998. — From wire reports

What if they had an Olympics, but no one would host? BY PAUL NEWBERRY

ASSOCIATED PRESS What if they threw an Olympic party, but no one was willing to host it? That day could be coming, and sooner than you might think. With news Friday that Stockholm is likely to pull out of the race for the 2026 Winter Games – just days after it was approved as a candidate city by the International Olympic Committee — there is an ever-increasing chance no one will be left to hear its name called by the time the final decision is made next year. The only other cities interested in hosting are Calgary, Canada, and the combined Italian bid of Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo. But Calgary’s proposal faces a crucial referendum next month — and polls suggest it hardly has overwhelming support — while Italy’s plans are marred by a lack of government backing and the memory of Rome pulling out of the race for both the 2020 and 2024 Summer Games . As if cities needed any further reminder of what a boondoggle the Olympics is: Pyeongchang already is pondering whether to raze some of the venues it built for this year’s Winter Games because there’s simply no use for them, while Tokyo is set to spend a staggering $25 billion on the next Summer Games — and maybe even more. “They’ve got to rethink the whole model,” said Mark Conrad, who runs the sports business program at Fordham University. Here are a few suggestions:

Rotating hosts This idea has been thrown around for years but never taken seriously by the IOC. At the very least, the Winter Games should move toward this concept as soon as possible given its more limited appeal and having fewer cities capable of even hosting the snow and ice events (maybe even fewer in the years to come, given the potentially devastating impact of climate change). Previous hosts such as Salt Lake City, Calgary, Japan (with Sapporo and Nagano sharing the load) and Norway (a similar arrangement between Oslo and Lillehammer) would be obvious candidates to serve on a rotating basis, since they have all the necessary facilities in place. Winter sports-loving countries such as Germany, Switzerland and Austria might be willing to get on board, too, if they could be assured costs wouldn’t spiral out of control. On the Summer Olympics side, Sydney (perhaps co-hosting with Melbourne), Seoul, Los Angeles, London and Beijing all have the potential to become permanent rotating sites. It also would be a fitting gesture to include Athens, the birthplace of the modern Olympics, but the IOC would need to cough up a few billion dollars so the Greeks could fix up all the decaying, abandoned facilities left over from the financial debacle that was the 2004 Games. “There was more resistance to this when everyone wanted to host,” said Matthew Robinson, a professor of business administration at the University of Delaware who has worked with the IOC. “Now, I think you’re going to see more of an open mind to the rotating idea.”

Fewer sports This is an area where the IOC has shown a complete unwillingness to make significant reforms, despite repeated calls to limit the enormous size of the games. Instead of scaling back for the Tokyo Games, the IOC approved not one, not two, but SIX new sports : baseball, softball, sport climbing, karate, skateboarding and surfing. Not to mention, new

disciplines were added for sports such as basketball (a three-on-three competition) and swimming (which will have a mixed relay for the first time). There’s even talk of video gaming being added for the 2024 Paris Games, to appeal to a more youthful audience.

Stop the madness. The IOC should dump any sport that can’t guarantee the participation of its best athletes (farewell, baseball), along with all those that have limited global and spectator appeal (we’re looking at you, team handball, water polo and modern pentathlon). In addition, there needs to be a serious culling in the number of events, even in more popular sports such as track and field (seriously, do we need race walking?) and swimming (a staggering 37 gold medals will be doled out in Tokyo).

If you build it, they won’t come Another area where the IOC talks a good game but rarely follows through. While insisting cities should only build facilities they can use after the games, Pyeongchang was allowed to spend more than $100 million on a temporary 35,000-seat stadium solely for the opening and closing ceremonies. Making that decision even more ludicrous: there was an existing 22,000-seat soccer stadium in the Gangneung Olympic Park that wasn’t even used during the games! The madness continues in Tokyo. A new aquatics center costing some $250 million is under construction, even though the city already has a modern natatorium that will be used only for water polo. While an argument can be made that the existing facility (seating around 3,600) wasn’t big enough for Olympic swimming, there’s no explanation for why the organizers didn’t just install a temporary pool in one of the numerous indoor areas around the Tokyo metropolitan area. For instance, the 17,000-seat Yokohama Arena (less than 20 miles from downtown Tokyo) was passed over as a venue. “On paper, Tokyo looked like a very solid bid,” Conrad said. “I cannot believe the costs.” The IOC needs to follow through on what it preaches, which means nixing potential white elephants and saying no to individual sports federations insisting on the most elaborate venues for their athletes.

Sharing the burden Why does a single city essentially have to host an entire Olympics? The size of the games is simply too much for one locale to bear, so the IOC should consider awarding them to entire countries — maybe even several neighboring countries (much like soccer’s World Cup). That way, the plethora of sports could be divvied up to existing venues. For that matter, there’s no reason why the games couldn’t be spread around the world every four years. It happened in 1956, when strict quarantine laws prevented the equestrian competition from being held in Australia, so it was shifted to Sweden (five months before the Melbourne Games, in fact). Rio de Janeiro undoubtedly would have welcomed such an accommodation in 2016, when it was required to build a costly new golf course that would have more use these days as a cow pasture. Imagine how much more sense it would’ve made to stage golf in, say, St. Andrews rather than a country where it has little appeal. Better get to it, IOC. Otherwise, there won’t be anyone left to host your little party. Paul Newberry is a sports columnist for The Associated Press.

Jets running back Isaiah Crowell rushes against the Broncos during the first half Sunday in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Crowell had the game of a lifetime, running for a New York Jets-record 219 yards. He was named the AFC’s offensive player of the week.

NFL

Jet propelled New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell set a franchise record with 219 yards rushing on just 15 carries last week BY DENNIS WASZAK JR.

ASSOCIATED PRESS FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Isaiah Crowell kept hitting the holes cleared by the New York Jets’ offensive line and ran. And, ran some more. All the way into the franchise record books. Crowell rushed for a whopping 219 yards on just 15 carries in the Jets’ 34-16 victory over Denver last Sunday, setting the team mark for yards rushing in a single game. “Every time I got the ball, it was like at any given time, it could be a big play,” Crowell said Friday. “That really was because of my offensive line. I feel like they did their part, so I’ve got to credit them.” Big rushing performances are usually the product of great O-line play. But Crowell also deserves some kudos for his big day. After all, he became the fourth player in NFL history to run for 200 or more yards on 15 or fewer attempts, and his 14.6-yard average was the highest by any player with at least 15 carries. “It hasn’t been like that since high school,” a smiling Crowell said. “In high school, I think I ran for 300 yards or something like that and five touchdowns in a playoff game, but not since then. Each level, you progress and the talent level progresses, so it hasn’t been like that since then.” Crowell broke the Jets record of 210 yards rushing, previously set by Thomas Jones in 2009. He was selected the AFC offensive player of the week and also won the league’s weekly award for FedEx Ground player of the week. That’s quite a week for Crowell, and one that will

be tough to top Sunday against Indianapolis. “When you do something like that, you’re kind of unsure, like, ‘Dang, how’d that happen?’” Crowell said. “You’ve just got to move forward and try keep progressing as you go and just know that every game is not going to be like that.” Crowell has been nursing an ankle injury this week, and is listed as questionable on the Jets’ injury list. He sat out practice Wednesday and Thursday, but returned on a limited basis Friday — a promising sign. Still, coach Todd Bowles said the running back would be a “Sunday decision” as to whether he’ll play. After scampering all those yards last weekend, it’s no wonder Crowell’s ankle is a bit sore. “We’ll work him out Sunday and see where he’s at,” Bowles said. It’s expected Crowell will be ready to roll by the time the game kicks off. Whether he’ll come anywhere close to the performance he had last Sunday is another story. He had 21 yards on three carries in the first quarter. On his first handoff of the second quarter, Crowell ran for a 77-yard touchdown that was the second-longest scoring run in team history – 1 yard shy of Bruce Harper’s record set in 1983. Crowell has scored on runs of 77 and 62 yards in his first five games with the Jets, joining Leon Washington as the only players in team history to have two TD runs of 60 yards or more. He had a 54-yard run in the third quarter, giving him nine plays of 50 yards or more to lead NFL running backs in that category since 2015. As he approached the

team mark late in the game, running backs coach Stump Mitchell pulled him aside to let him know he was on the verge of something special. “He was like, ‘You can get it since you’re so close,”’ Crowell recalled. “That’s what I was chasing. When I did get it, he told me and I was happy about it, but it wasn’t like a goal or anything. It just happened.” The mark was set on his final carry of the game, a 36-yard run in the fourth quarter. The performance also wiped away some of the controversy surrounding Crowell the previous few weeks. He was fined $13,369 by the NFL and scolded by Bowles after he wiped the football against his backside after scoring a touchdown at Cleveland — where he spent his first four seasons — two weeks ago. Crowell cashed in on that mistake, though, getting an endorsement deal from a company that makes toilet paper alternatives for men. With the type of game he had last Sunday, surely there were some more offfield opportunities to pad the bank account, right? “I prefer to not talk about my endorsements,” Crowell said after a big chuckle. Despite the gaudy final rushing total, Crowell insists he isn’t spoiled to the point where anything less than 200 yards now is just an OK game. “Nah, because I know that was like an amazing game,” he said. “You can have 50 yards and as long as you win the game, it was a good game. You could have a bad game, but did enough to help your team win so that’s really what it’s all about.”

Oak Ridge spikers capture crown at MVC Tournament The Oak Ridge volleyball team won all three of its matches Friday in straight sets to win the round-robin Mississippi Valley Conference Tournament on Friday at Zalma High School. Maggie Howe led the way with 18 kills in the tournament, and Paige Glueck had 15 kills for the BlueJays (20-7-2). Brittany Showmaker had eight kills in the three matches, and Taylor Seyer finished with 44 assists. Meadow Heights (12-132) finished second, edging Zalma (8-17-2) on point differential after both won three sets and lost three sets and Marquand (0-11) was last, dropping all six sets.

Martinez landed with Detroit that season and by 2015 he was an All-Star, hitting 38 homers with 102 RBIs. He hit 45 homers last year, when he was traded from the Tigers to Diamondbacks and was 14th in MVP voting despite playing just 62 games in the NL. “I always believed he’s going to be the player he is right now,” said Astros second baseman Jose Altuve, the reigning AL MVP, who came up through the minors with Martinez. “He got a couple of tough years with us in the big leagues. But I think the best thing that happened to him was going to the Tigers and becoming the player that he is. Verlander was Martinez’s teammate in Detroit and said he was “there from the moment he turned his career around.” “He went and completely revamped his swing that offseason, and saw immediate dividends,” Verlander said. “(He) never stopped hit-

ting. Seeing somebody like that who works so hard and turned their career around to where he’s at now, as a fellow player, and you respect it and I’m happy for him. I really am.’ Now Martinez is one of the keys — with Mookie Betts, who is expected to edge him for the AL MVP award — on a Red Sox team that won a third straight AL East title but advanced in the playoffs for the first time since 2013, eliminating the rival New York Yankees in the ALDS. The Central Division champion Astros did OK, too, winning their first World Series last year; Springer was Series MVP. So, no hard feelings. “God gave me another opportunity and put me in a good situation with Detroit. And that’s kind of where I continued to grow until where I am today, really,” Martinez said. “And if it wasn’t for that I probably wouldn’t be here right now.

Kyla Beel tallied a double-double with 14 kills and 11 digs plus two blocks as the host Wildcats edged the Bearcats in straight sets. Patience VanderMierden added six kills, three assists, eight digs, two blocks and two aces for Leopold (17-8-3). Paige Davis also had 22 assists, three kills, three blocks and two digs. Lesterville dropped to 15-12-2. JV — Lesterville won 25-23, 25-16.

Clara Yokley added five kills for Saxony Lutheran, which improved to 12-15-5. Makayla Mueller led the defensive effort with 16 digs, while Olivia Voelker had 22 assists. Sydney Russo recorded three blocks, and Clara Yokley had two aces. Savannah Below had three kills for Oran (812). Kennedi McVay had five assists and two kills, while Cassie Cocharan had three digs and one ace. Kaylee Payne also had two kills. JV — Saxony won 26-16, 25-14

Southeast finished with a .318 attack percentage. Haley Bilbruck led the defense with 15 digs, and Claire Ochs and Ally Dion each had 11. Ochs also turned in 35 assits, while Maggie Adams had three blocks. Cassie Kntuson had a team-high 11 kills for Eastern Kentucky (3-17, 2-6).

Who knows where I would have been?” Saturday night’s opener will be a rematch of Game 1 of the ALDS last year, when the Astros jumped on Sale for seven runs in five innings, including back-toback homers by Alex Bregman and Altuve in the first. Altuve added another homer in the fifth. Sale and Verlander each came out of the bullpen in Game 4, with the Red Sox lefty outpitching the Astros ace before tiring in his fifth inning of relief and taking the loss as the Red Sox were eliminated. With the teams meeting one round further along this year, the stakes are even higher. “Obviously, the winner of this one goes to the World Series,” Sale said. “We know who we’re up against. He’s obviously one of the best around, and really good in the postseason.”

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN

BOSTON — J.D. Martinez wants to thank the Houston Astros — not get back at them — for releasing him when he was struggling to make himself into a star. The Red Sox slugger credits his growing pains in Houston for teaching him “how to fail,” a lesson he credits with transforming him into an MVP candidate who helped Boston win a franchise-record 108 games and reach the AL Championship Series against his former team. “My failures in Houston is what made me who I am,” Martinez said Friday, a day before the Astros and Red Sox open the best-of-seven series. “There’s really no animosity there. In a sense they did me a favor by allowing me to leave and play on another team.” It will be the second straight year the Red Sox and Astros meet in the postseason — last year it was the ALDS — and the second straight year that aces Chris Sale will go against Justin Verlander in the opener. The biggest difference this time: Boston has Martinez on its side. And the Astros could have. Martinez made his bigleague debut for Houston in 2011, driving in 28 runs in his first full month in the majors. After playing part time the next two years — hitting 18 homers with 91 RBIs in 199 games — he was 26 years old and batting .167 in the spring of 2014 when the Astros released him, preferring to give the atbats to top prospect George Springer.

Jackson quarterback Cael Welker is pursued by Hillsboro defenders on a carry during the Indians’ home game Friday.

Indians From Page 1B Kent, who has an offer from Southeast Missouri State, had touchdown catches of 13, 37, 6, 46 and 40 yards. “Me and Jordan go way back,” Koenig said. “We’re best friends all the way from grade school. It’s amazing to see them connect the way they do. It’s good when they take care of business on offense. “It makes it a little easier on defense, gives us a little bit of momentum.” Jackson received the opening kickoff and then fumbled on the first play from scrimmage. With the rain coming down heavy, both teams struggled to hold onto the football early. Hillsboro (4-4) had a chance to take the lead, driving inside the Jackson 10-yard line. The Hawks lost the ball, though, and Jackson’s Randol McDowell recovered the fumble on the 5. It was one of five fumbles Hillsboro lost on the night. Given a second chance, the offense delivered. A 56yard run by Daniel Dickerson set up a 26-yard Dimechi Herring touchdown run for a 7-0 Jackson lead. Hillsboro again drove inside the Jackson 10, but another fumble, this one forced and recovered by Cole Amelunke, ended that drive. The offense then drove 95 yards in five plays, with a 66yard Welker run leading to a 13-yard TD pass from the sophomore to Kent. On the next drive, it was a 37-yard TD strike from Welk-

er to Kent to give Jackson a 21-0 lead after a quarter. The duo connected for touchdowns three more times in the second quarter. “Cael threw it pretty well tonight, but Jordan’s a really good target to get it to,” Jackson coach Brent Eckley said. “That’s just kind of them having the connection of where the open space is and Cael knowing where Jordan’s going to go. “And it’s not just those guys. The other guys are the same thing. It just kind of depends on who we’re focusing on. Jordan just had some opportunities tonight where we were able to get him the ball.” By the end of the second

quarter, the backups on offense were in as quarterback Jake Smith scored on a 4-yard TD run. The rout continued in the second half with a 67-yard Dickerson TD run early in the third quarter. Even with backups in, the defense held strong and picked up its third shutout of the season. “Honestly, every week we go in and we want zero points and try to hold the rushing under about 50 yards and passing about the same,” Koenig said. “Defense, we’re a big brotherhood.” With the win, the Jackson senior class improved to 13-2 at The Pit over the last three seasons, and 12-1 during the regular season. That home record was something Eckley discussed with his team before the game. “We talked about I think we dropped one (regular-season) game at home two years ago,” Eckley said. “I’m really proud of our guys for that. They work their tails off and they deserve success.” The Indians are all but guaranteed at least one more home game in the playoffs, and possibly two, if they finish first in Class 5 District 1. Jackson entered Friday atop the district standings and another win next week at Parkway Central could help the Indians secure that No. 1 seed in the district tournament. “We have a chance to have two more games here, so I’m hoping that [will happen],” Kent said. “We have a great atmosphere, and I feel like we play better if it’s at home.”

against Hyun-Jin Ryu. Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell’s pitching-by-committee strategy continued to be a hit, at least until the late innings. Finally, the hard-throwing Knebel restored order by striking out Turner. Knebel walked Joc Pederson with two outs before Taylor’s long drive. Woodruff picked up the win and helped himself out at the plate. After starter Gio Gonzalez went two innings, nicked by Machado’s home run, Woodruff entered in the top of the third. In the bottom half, Woodruff made a sudden impact — with his bat. Woodruff became just the third relief pitcher to homer in the postseason, tagging a three-time NL Cy Young Award winner for a tying solo drive. Woodruff pumped both arms as he rounded first base, while Kershaw turned away and looked down at the ground. Another miserable October night was just beginning for Kershaw, whose regular-season brilliance has often disappeared in the postseason. And it wasn’t even Christian Yelich and the Brewers’ stars who got to him. Hernan Perez hit a sacrifice fly later in the third, and pinch-hitter Domingo Santana had a two-run single in the fourth for a 4-1 lead that chased Kershaw from the mound with nobody out. It was the shortest postseason start of Kershaw’s career. He had a 4.65 ERA in 10 career appearances, including seven starts, going into Friday. That ERA went up after allowing six hits and five runs – four earned – in three-plus innings. Jesus Aguilar added a solo home run in the seventh for the Brewers, his second of the postseason. Cain went 3 for 5 and scored a run.

Burger time Eat up, Milwaukee. This late-season run earned Brewers fans a free burger at an area restaurant chain. George Webb Restaurants has a long-standing promotion to give away a free burger whenever the Brewers win 12 straight. It’s time to dine.

JACKSON

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN Imagine a duck, roving itself through the water. Above the surface, the duck is seemingly gliding, flawlessly; below the surface, its little feet are rapidly sifting through calm or crazy water, whether you can see it or not. This is the analogy Sheree Pursley gave when talking about her and her family’s last decade of life, living with dwarfism. In May of 2008, the life of Sheree and Greg Pursley changed in a way they never could have imagined. Izaac Pursley, now 10, joined his parents and big sister EveeKay, then two and a half, in the big, wide world. He was no average child, though — Izaac was born with achondroplasia. As simply described by Evee-Kay, now almost 13, achondroplasia is a shortening of the bone growth. “As they grow, their torso is the same length as an average height person the

are just shorter.” Achondroplasia is the

most common form of the over 300 different types

of dwarfisms, affecting 80 percent of little people. Of that statistic, 80 percent of achondroplastics have parents with average stature and the condition is a result of a mutation, according to myVMC. For the first eight years of his life, Izaac was considered to be on full life support and had undergone nearly 20 surgeries including a spinal stenosis surgery — which took pressure off his brainstem, allowing him to suck and swallow without breathing food in — and a tracheotomy, installed in March 2009 and surgically closed in August 2017. Once it was closed, Izaac was officially off life support. “The calm after the storm,” Sheree said about being able to live life a little more “normally” like the average family. “This is the party fun part.” Hope has been a cornerstone — a foundation — for the Pursleys. “I realize that hope is See IZAAC, Page 4C

Umbrellas under a leaf T

he tiny mushrooms I have photographed here are only about one and a half inches tall. I found them a few days after our last period of rain. One day I walked an area of sparse grass at the edge

of a woods and saw no sign of these mushrooms. The next day I walked the same area and there were hundreds of them in several colonies. Commonly called Umbrella Mushrooms

or Parasol Mushrooms, these are beautiful and tiny. They will fall over at the touch of a finger. Still, as dainty as they are, my photo shows that growing upward together they are capable of lifting a leaf.

The best time to find clusters of umbrella mushrooms is during autumn a day or so after wet weather. Look on level damp ground possibly along an old road at the edge of a woods.

New program at Cape Nature Center

Southeast District FCE

The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) has special prizes to offer at the Cape Girardeau Conservation Nature Center kids-only fishing pond, according to a recent news release. MDC fisheries biologists have stocked and tagged fish in the pond, adding a challenging twist to fishing with an opportunity for children to win prizes. Children who catch a tagged fish at the pond may turn it in at the nature center to collect a prize. “We’ve tagged largemouth bass, channel catfish, bluegill, and redear sunfish,” Salvador Mondragon, MDC fisheries management biologist, said in the release. “The tag reads ‘reward’ followed by a series of numbers. If children catch a fish with one of these tags, they can remove it and present the tag to either the Cape Girardeau Southeast Regional Office or Cape Nature Center to redeem their prize.” Mondragon said the caught fish can either be harvested or released back into the pond. Prizes range from t-shirts to basic fishing tackle. The pond is open to youth anglers ages 15 and younger. For additional information or inquiries, call the Cape Girardeau Southeast Regional Office at (573) 290-5730 or the Cape Nature Center at (573) 290-5218. For information on fishing and other nature programs at the Cape Nature Center, go online to mdc.mo.gov/CapeNatureCenter. To find fishing locations near you, go online to mdc.mo.gov/ fishing.

Izaac From Page 1C different for everyone, but as long as you have hope, you can go on,” Sheree said. “It’s like when you wish upon a star. As long as he was alive, I had hope.” Sheree and Greg have done everything they can to make their lives, especially Izaac’s, as “normal” as possible. “As long as he was going to live, I was going to let him live,” Sheree said. Sheree said it’s been a hard adjustment, going from fight or flight at the drop of a pin — or in their case, at the seventh beep of Izaac’s medical equipment — but it’s been a good adjustment. She said they’re taking it one day at a time, but it’s great to see both of their children together, living life. “I don’t even notice our family is different half the time,” Evee-Kay said. “I forget.” Evee-Kay’s childhood was not the “naïve, blissful child years” that an average child more than likely grows up with, Sheree said about her daughter’s childhood. “She had to grow up faster,” Greg said. “She understood the complexities of life at a really young age. Falling into the seemingly natural big sister role, EveeKay stepped up at even age 3 to help take care of her brother and embrace her “normal.” Spending weeks and sometimes months in and out of the hospital as she stayed

with her mom, Evee-Kay spent her childhood years coloring next to her fully life-supported brother in a hospital room, staying at the Ronald McDonald House with her mom or helping save her brother’s life at home with the nurses when things would go wrong. “That was her normal,” Sheree said. “And that’s a pretty crazy normal for a 3-year-old.” Throughout the years, they’ve made adjustments and adaptations to their home and daily lives that allow Izaac to live as easily as possible. A double handrail lines their staircase so that Izaac has a rail his height to hold on to while descending and ascending the stairs. Light switches are lower around the house so he can reach them. He has a station in the kitchen dedicated to where he can make his own food, with easily accessible dishes and utensils. But his most favorite adaptation to the house is his personalized bathroom, all designed and scaled to his size and needs. Fast-forward 10 years and the Pursleys are taking everything day-by-day, soaking in the memories. Izaac is an avid sports lover and helps the coaches from the sideline in nearly any sport he can get involved with. Baseball is an especially huge part of his life, and he spent the summer in close quarters with the Charleston Fighting Squirrels. This fall you can see him coaching from the sidelines during the seventh- and eighth-grade football games in Jackson, or hollering from the sidelines on Saturday afternoons while the

Here’s a nubby whole-wheat quick bread with scotch butter best-quality orange marmalade 2 generous teaspoons favorite Scotch whisky such as Oban 14-year old 1 generous teaspoon honey, preferably creamed or whipped Pinch of Maldon sea salt, about 1/8th teaspoon

BY ELIZABETH KARMEL

ASSOCIATED PRESS I have been searching for this recipe for years. Early in my career, I worked with a girl who was originally from Ireland. Most weeks, she would make wheaten bread and bring it to the office with a stick of soft butter. I fell in love with it. It was so satisfying, a nubby whole-wheat quick bread made in a loaf pan, sliced thick and slathered with smooth butter. You could taste the baking soda, but that wasn’t a bad thing, it gave it character. I begged for the recipe, but she wouldn’t give it up. As the years went by, I would think of it occasionally and google “wheaten bread” but none of them seemed to match my taste experience. And then, a few weeks ago, I was at a dinner in Scotland at a historic East Highlands single-malt distillery. When the bread basket was passed to me, I spied the same “wheaten bread” that I had enjoyed many years ago. After I eagerly ate a slice, I brought a piece into the kitchen to ask the cook if she had the recipe. I was so excited, my search seemed to be over. But as it turned out, it was made at a local family bakery and I was leaving before they opened in the morning. So close, and yet this bread was still out of my reach! But now that I had this bread on my brain, I couldn’t shake it. As soon as I returned home, I started deconstructing it. I knew that it was a quick bread– the baking soda flavor confirmed this. I knew that it had to be fast and easy because my work friend was not a cook nor a baker and this bread was delicious and the same every week that she brought it in. I was introduced to Scottish porridge on my trip and it is much finer ground than our oatmeal. I thought that this could be the nubbiness in the crumb of the otherwise soft loaf. Armed with a new understanding of the ingredients, I went to the grocery store and bought Scottish oatmeal, conveniently sold in the U.S.A. by Bob’s Red Mill, and two kinds of whole wheat flour; the hard-white whole-wheat flour–sometimes sold as whole-wheat pastry flour–and the wholegrain hard red spring wheat flour. It’s important to read the ingredient label because these two whole-wheat flours yield very different results. I baked my first loaf with the whole-grain hard red spring wheat flour and though it was tasty, it was very dense and a little dry and didn’t have the soft crumb that I remembered. It would be very good toasted for open-face sandwiches of smoked salmon, pate, liverwurst and even avocados. But the bread that I had in mind was more delicate and I had already decided to top it with a sweet scotch butter. I made my next loaf with the hard-white whole-wheat

This dish is from a recipe by Elizabeth Karmel. flour and added melted butter for flavor and to make the loaf more tender. The result was a perfectly soft, well-risen loaf that stayed moist even after it was completely cool. I can’t believe it but after all of these years, I now have a recipe for wheaten bread that satisfies both my taste memory of years past, and that of a few weeks ago in Scotland. Because I re-discovered this bread while I was in Scotland learning about scotch whisky, I decided to create a butter for my bread that had the distinctive flavors of another distillery that I visited. The Oban distillery is a small single-malt whisky maker nestled in the middle of a bustling fishing village of the same name. The key flavors of their coastal West Highlands whisky are smoky, sea salt, orange and honey–the perfect “recipe” for my Sweet Scotch Whisky Butter. As my second loaf baked, I stirred together soft sweet butter, orange marmalade, honey, a generous pinch of Maldon sea salt and a splash of scotch whisky. I spooned the butter on to waxed paper and rolled it in a log to chill. The beauty of making a compound butter with whisky is that when the butter melts, the small drops of the pure scotch whisky open up and compliment the other ingredients with a distinct depth of flavor. You can serve this bread spread thick with the butter for dinner, as a snack with a cup of tea or even in small squares to accompany a dram of your favorite whisky.

Wheaten bread with sweet scotch whisky butter The mix of the sweet butter, coarse salt, whisky, honey and orange marmalade on warm homemade Wheaten bread is a perfect pairing and conjures up images of Scotland–this would be a great snack for “Outlander” fans! Servings: 10 (makes 1 loaf, about 10 slices) Start to finish: 1 hour, 15

minutes (20 minutes active)

1 1/2 cups hard white whole-wheat flour sometimes sold as whole-wheat pastry flour 1/2 cup Scottish oats, such as the one sold by Bob’s Red Mill 2 teaspoons Sugar in the Raw 1/2 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 large egg 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (reserve rest of stick of butter for Sweet Scotch Whisky Butter) 1 cup buttermilk Sweet Scotch Whisky Butter (recipe below)

Make butter at least 2 hours in advance. Mash or stir butter until it is smooth and slightly fluffy. Add marmalade and mix until smooth; set aside. Mix together scotch whisky and honey until it is well mixed. Add scotch-honey paste to butter and mix together, mashing with the back of a fork to make sure all the ingredients are incorporated. Add salt and mix well. Taste for seasoning. Chef’s Note: Don’t be concerned if the butter seems loose. The extra liquid from the whisky and the other ingredients will change the texture of the butter, but once it is rolled and chilled, you won’t notice it. Place on a piece of waxed paper and roll into a log. Twist the ends and chill in the refrigerator for 60 minutes or until firm enough to cut into slices. Will last in the refrigerator completely covered for a week.

Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly butter a standard (1 pound) loaf pan. Dust with a tablespoon of flour and set aside. Measure the flour, oats, sugar, salt and baking soda and place in the bottom of a large bowl. Whisk to combine all the dry ingredients. In another bowl, beat the egg, add the melted butter and mix well. Whisk in the buttermilk and mix until well combined and creamy. Mix the wet and dry ingredients together until everything is well-combined. The texture of the batter will be very thick. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan and level it. You may have to carefully drop it on the counter to make it level. Score a line down the middle with a knife to make sure that the loaf bakes evenly. Place the loaf pan on a sheet pan and place in the center of the oven. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until the loaf is done. It will pull away from the sides of the pan and sound hollow when you tap it. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then turn out onto a cooling rack. Eat immediately with lots of the Sweet Scotch Whisky Butter. The bread is best eaten fresh on the first or second day, or frozen. It is also good toasted. Sweet Scotch Whisky Butter:

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

Oct. 14-20 HISTORY AROUND THE WORLD AND AT HOME Oct. 14: 1912, Theodore Roosevelt, campaigning for the presidency, was shot in the chest in Milwaukee. Despite the wound, he went ahead with a scheduled speech. 1947, U.S. Air Force Capt. Charles E. (“Chuck”) Yeager became the first test pilot to break the sound barrier as he flew the experimental Bell XS-1 (later X-1) rocket plane over Muroc Dry Lake in California. 1987, a 58-hour drama began in Midland, Texas, as 18-month-old Jessica McClure slid 22 feet down a narrow abandoned well at a private day care center; she was rescued on Oct. 16.

Oct. 15: 1783, the first manned balloon flight took place in Paris as Jean-Francois Pilatre de Rozier ascended in a basket attached to a tethered Montgolfier hot-air balloon, rising to about 75 feet. 1917, Dutch exotic dancer Mata Hari (Margaretha ZelleGeertruida MacLeod), 41, convicted by a French military court of spying for the Germans, was executed by a firing squad outside Paris. (Maintaining her innocence to the end, Mata Hari refused a blindfold and blew a kiss to her executioners.) 1997, British Royal Air Force pilot Andy Green twice drove a jet-powered car in the Nevada desert faster than the speed of sound, officially shattering the world’s landspeed record.

Oct. 16: 1859, radical abolitionist John Brown led a group of 21 men in a raid on Harpers Ferry in western Virginia. (Ten of Brown’s men were killed and five escaped. Brown and six followers were captured; all were executed.) 1916, Planned Parenthood had its beginnings as Margaret Sanger and her sister, Ethel Byrne, opened the first birth control clinic in Brooklyn, New York. (The clinic ended up being raided by police and Sanger was arrested.) 1978, the College of Cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church chose Cardinal Karol Wojtyla to be the new pope; he took the name John Paul II.

Oct. 17: 1777, British forces under Gen. John Burgoyne surrendered to American troops in Saratoga, New York, in a turning point of the Revolutionary War. 1807, Britain declared it would continue to reclaim British-born sailors from American ships and ports regardless of whether they held U.S. citizenship. 1979, Mother Teresa of India was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

Oct. 18: 1767, the Mason-Dixon line, the boundary between colonial Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware, was set as astronomers Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon completed their survey. 1892, the first long-distance telephone line between New York and Chicago was officially opened (it could only handle one call at a time). 1962, James D. Watson, Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins were honored with the Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology for determining the double-helix molecular structure of DNA.

Oct. 19: 1781, British troops under Gen. Lord Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown, Virginia, as the American Revolution neared its end. 1987, the stock market crashed as the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 508 points, or 22.6 percent in value (its biggest daily percentage loss), to close at 1,738.74 in what came to be known as “Black Monday.” 2005, a defiant Saddam Hussein pleaded innocent to charges of premeditated murder and torture as his trial opened under heavy security in the former headquarters of his Baath Party in Baghdad.

Oct. 20: 1803, the U.S. Senate ratified the Louisiana Purchase. 1967, a jury in Meridian, Mississippi, convicted seven men of violating the civil rights of slain civil rights workers James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner; the seven received prison terms ranging from 3 to 10 years. 1973, in the so-called “Saturday Night Massacre,” special Watergate prosecutor Archibald Cox was dismissed and Attorney General Elliot L. Richardson and Deputy Attorney General William B. Ruckelshaus resigned. — Associated Press

LOCAL HISTORY

Court cases bring to light forgotten Southeast Missouri Baseball Association R

egional baseball teams in the Southeast Missouri region began as early as 1909. At that time, the Pemiscot Argus newspaper reported that nine teams were to be included in a proposed Southeast Missouri Baseball Association. It took another five years before the organization officially formed, in the spring of 1914. Cities that provided teams were Cape Girardeau, Sikeston, Portageville, Chaffee, Caruthersville and New Madrid. In June 1923, the association organized in Pemiscot County with four teams from Caruthersville, Steele, Deering and Hayti. By 1931, the league had grown to include 10 clubs in the towns of Steele, Hayti, Wardell, Braggadocio, Pascola, Lilbourn, New Madrid, Denton, Cooter and Holland. The league also grew to include New Madrid County. E. Frank Foster served as president with Charles Jenkins of Steele as vice-president. In the Oliver and Oliver Law Firm Papers at the State Historical Society of Missouri-Cape Girardeau Research Center are two court cases brought by the New Madrid and Cooter baseball clubs against the treasurer of the club, Lucas M. Davis, and Fidelity and Casualty Company

FROM THE MORGUE

Cape’s first drive-through cleaner A

mong the thousands of unidentified negatives Garland D. Fronabarger delivered to the Missourian after his retirement in 1986 was one for the image accompanying this blog, which we have teasingly referred to as “Cape’s first drive-through cleaner.” Unlike many of its brethren in those tattered, tired old boxes, this photograph was identified as having been published in the Southeast Missourian newspaper on Sept. 21, 1968. But it wasn’t until recently, as I was trawling the 1968 microfilm looking for items for the Out of the Past column, that I located the story that goes with the image, published a day earlier, on Friday, Sept. 20, 1968: After Brakes Fail

Truck crashes through wall of cleaners

FRED LYNCH ~ Southeast Missourian archive

GARRET B. KREMERWRIGHT

A large truck whose brakes failed at Sprigg and William today avoided vehicles in the intersection and parked cars in a used car lot, but then crashed through the wall of a cleaning establishment, coming to rest where a woman had been standing seconds before. The owner of Crescent Cleaners, 132 S. Sprigg St., Mrs. Fern Bollinger, 167 Luce, said, “I missed being killed by the skin of my teeth and I will sure say an extra prayer tonight.” Claude Medlin Jr., 20, of Dexter was driver of the truck belonging to Interstate Flooring of Sikeston. He managed to avoid hitting a truck in the middle of the intersection, but in

G.D. FRONABARGER ~ Southeast Missourian archive

This photo published Sept. 21, 1968 shows the truck which Friday crashed through the side brick wall of the Crescent Cleaners on Sprigg after its brakes failed. The driver maneuvered it through the Sprigg-William intersection, across a service station lot and between two rows of parked used cars, seen here, before hitting the building. doing so, his truck jumped the curb and traveled across a service station lot, narrowly missing a car that was leaving the station. Mr. Medlin said he then dodged cars parked in a used car lot, but although he had geared the truck down as low as it would go, he couldn’t stop or avoid hitting the building and continued about 15 feet on the inside. He estimates his speed at the time of impact at about 15 miles per hour. Mrs. Bollinger said she had been talking on the telephone and had just hung up the phone and started to fill an order when the truck broke

through the wall and mashed the phone into another wall. “The truck came in right on my heels,” Mrs. Bollinger declared, and she added, “I sure am lucky I wasn’t killed or hurt.” The sound of the truck hitting the side of the brick building was heard five blocks away and believed by many to be a sonic boom. Mrs. Bollinger said she felt that it was an earthquake at first. Mr. Medlin said he was thankful for the shatterproof windshield of the truck, as the whole windshield was caved in, See MORGUE, Page 7C

faith/community Finding solace in life’s last quarter I

want to introduce you to Olivia. To borrow from a football motif, Olivia is not only in the last quarter of her life; she is in the final two minutes of the last quarter of her life. Her body is constantly riddled with pain. Her mind is a battleground of emotions. Good days. Bad days. Both. Stories from Olivia’s life would cause the hardest-hearted person to weep. Yet, if you asked Olivia about her life, she would tell you that she was blessed. Olivia is blessed because she has both chosen to be blessed and to be a blessing. That has not always been the case. Olivia grew up in an era that knew little to nothing about depression and bipolar disorder. Thus little was done to diagnose or treat those illnesses.

ROBERT HURTGEN Robert Hurtgen is a husband, father, minister and writer. Read more of him at robhurtgen. wordpress.com.

As a young girl she spent years in an institution. When not institutionalized

she lived under the control of her abusive mother. Perhaps in trying to escape one situation Olivia married young. Only she found her husband no less controlling than her mother. Life for Olivia has been very hard. Riddled with pain, wrestling with sleeplessness, Olivia finds solace and joy in sketching and painting. You won’t see her work in museums or galleries. Her works are too precious for such pretentious places. Her works belong on refrigerators, down hallways, and on bulletin boards in bedrooms. Places where you invite others to gather and say, “Look, my friend made this for me. Let me tell you about it.” If you ask Olivia the last two minutes of the last quarter of life are the

best two minutes. God has a great purpose even in those. Recently Olivia was sharing how she had just learned how to use a shadowing technique to add depth to her paintings, so they will look more lifelike. They do. Even in the last two minutes of her last quarter, she is learning. Olivia doesn’t ignore the hurt that she has been through, the pain that she caused, and was placed on her. She doesn’t live under it anymore either. She is thankful to God for all those who have helped her become well and be happy. Now in her last two minutes, she wants to be a blessing. For a woman who once knew nothing but darkness, to be concerned about the happiness of others is a miracle.

Psalm 22: When it feels like God has forsaken us M

ost people are at least somewhat familiar with Psalm 23. Its pastoral and tranquil images of God as our shepherd easily captures our attention. Psalm 23 brings us comfort and assurance. The psalm placed directly before Psalm 23 is vastly different. Psalm 22 is a song of complaint and petition. The psalmist feels forsaken, abandoned and ignored by God. The writer feels mocked by their enemies and is physically in turmoil: “I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint” (Psalm 22:14). Some people are surprised to find such raw and honest expressions of pain in the Bible. Churches are sometimes guilty of betraying the Bible as a collection of moral maxims and cutesy stories about wisdom. The Bible, and specifically the Book of Psalms, expresses the full gamut of human emotions: from songs expressing wonder at the created world (Psalm 145) to songs that call for violence towards an enemy’s

TYLER TANKERSLEY Tyler Tankersley is the pastor of First Baptist Church in Cape Girardeau. He is married to Jessica and together they have three young children, Henry, Owen and Charlotte. children (Psalm 137), from songs that point people towards wisdom (Psalm 14) to songs expressing deep, personal lament (Psalm 35). Some of the more negative psalms, such as Psalm 22, may not be suitable for wall-hangings like you might find at Lifeway, but there is power in their raw

vulnerability and expressions of pain. Each of us at some point in our lives will find ourselves in seasons of pain, of torment, of lament and of complaint. When we find ourselves in those moments of darkness, we do not need cliché quotations about goodness; we need to know that our pain and suffering is heard. Psalm 22 gives voice to the dark seasons we are all susceptible to experience. Christians mostly know Psalm 22 because Jesus Christ utters its first verse while hanging on the cross: “At three o’clock Jesus cried out with a loud voice, ‘Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?’ which means, ‘My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?’” (Mark 15:34, cf. Psalm 22:1a). What is clear is that Jesus himself felt the utter abandonment and raw divine loneliness at the time of his death. For Christian theology, this provides interesting hermeneutical issues regarding issues related to the Trinity. The German theologian Jurgen Molt-

mann has written extensively about this in his seminal volume called The Crucified God: “The only way past protest atheism is through a theology of the cross which understands God as the suffering God in the suffering of Christ and which cries out with the forsaken God, ‘My God, why have you forsaken me?’ For this theology, God and suffering are no longer contradictions, as in theism and atheism, but God’s being is in suffering and the suffering is in God’s being itself, because God is love” (227). While Psalm 22 expresses pain, there is a shift in verse 21 as the writer begins to realize that God has heard their cries for pain and will respond: “He did not hide his face from me, but heard when I cried to him” (Psalm 22:24b). God heard the cries of the psalmist. God heard the cries of Jesus Christ. God hears our cries. And God responds in mighty ways. Like a resurrection.

Food and comfort for storm victims BY NANCY NELSON VINES

DAILY AMERICAN REPUBLIC Eight hundred sixty-eight thousand, nine hundred seventy. That is how many meals Tyson Foods Inc. Meals That Matter provided to victims of Hurricane Florence. Over a nine-day span Meals That Matter cook teams from Pennsylvania, Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee and Virginia descended on ravaged North Carolina and provided hot meals to those who had been impacted by the deadly storm and to those who were volunteering to help. Among those dispatched to the disaster scene was a seven-crew team from the Dexter Tyson Complex. A management person from each area of the complex volunteered for the fiveday assignment, leaving shortly after midnight on Sept. 24 and returning in the wee hours of Sept. 29. “We originally were dis-

Morgue From Page 6C did not shatter. Water lines from the cleaners came poking through the broken windshield, said the driver, and (he) managed to dodge all of them. Mrs. Bollinger said she was also thankful that the truck did not hit any steam lines in the cleaners, as more serious damage and possibly an explosion could have occurred if the lines

patched to Fayetteville to relieve the first wave of cook teams, who had already been there almost a week,” says Dexter team member Matt Harris. “However, when we arrived in Fayetteville on Monday, the interstate to Wilmington, which had been the hardest hit, had opened, so we were sent there instead. “We spent the night in Fayetteville because we already had accommodations reserved, then left for Wilmington around 4:30 the next morning.” Walmart donated their parking lot to the Meals That Matter teams, which came from eight complexes. “As soon as we arrived we set up and started cooking. We cooked and served all day long. Daniel Tucker, Paul McBride and I were cooking; Lockard Cassity, Jessica Haney and Cathy Smart assembled, wrapped and packaged

the cooked food; and Bud Parks was a runner, taking the prepared food offsite to churches, missions, shelters — wherever displaced people were staying,” he says. Harris says that meals were also served on the premises. Harris explains that the teams would start cooking at 7 a.m. and serving began at 11 a.m. “We cooked all day until mid-afternoon,” he says. “We cooked hamburgers, hot dogs, wings and chicken sandwiches, and those people who came to eat were so grateful for what we were doing. Even though they had lost everything, they still were kind, gracious and thankful. “In fact,” he adds, “everywhere we went people were so nice. They were welcoming, and thanked us for our efforts.” He says the feeling was mutual. “We couldn’t get out

much, but what destruction we did see, made us very grateful that we could help in this small way. It was a good feeling to know that while these people had so many worries, their next meal was not going to be one of them,” Harris says. The more heavily damaged areas were still closed because of downed trees and power lines. “In the areas we could visit, though, the damage was primarily from high winds and debris left from receding water. The smell of dead fish was everywhere,” he says. The weather was not cooperative. “It rained two days, it was hot, it was humid, but we didn’t care. Nothing could dampen our spirits. We worked together, and everyone got along. It was a positive experience and it was an honor and a blessing to be able to assist in this way,” Harris says.

had been broken. She said the truck missed hitting the two new automatic presses that had been installed this summer when the cleaners was remodeled. Estimates Damage She estimated the damage to the building at about $6,000. Mrs. Bollinger also stated that a bank deposit of $700 had been lying near the phone when the crash occurred and she had to dig the money out from under the truck so that it would not get lost. Mrs. Bollinger said she

aged a few years when the truck broke through the wall, but quickly started praising the customers of the cleaners and owners of other cleaners in town, who were on hand to offer their help. “I’ve got the greatest bunch of customers in the world,” she said and explained that several persons had brought clothes in to be cleaned after the crash and said they would go ahead and leave them and would pick them up whenever the cleaners could be repaired and con-

tinue operations. Mrs. Bollinger said she had been working at the cleaners for 34 years and added that nothing like that had ever happened to her before.

SCOTT CITY MUSINGS

We was a family S

aw a Western cartoon of a sheriff, an old cowboy on a horse and a pickup with a kid driving and he had to stand on the seat to see over the steering wheel. The caption was of the old cowboy telling the sheriff that the kid was too young to ride a horse so he had to drive the pickup. This was kind of true where I grew up and when I was growing up. The only thing was, we rode horses when we could barely walk and we were driving the pickup when we did have to stand to see over the wheel. Nothing new up there. Pretty much all the kids were doing the same thing. Marge tells of driving a Scout to school which was probably 5 miles from her folks’ house to the country school. No big deal back then. It was all a country road and I wonder if it all had gravel. Many times the old country roads were just two lines, one for each tire. But one other thing was, there was almost a zip and zero chance of meeting someone on the road. There might be two or three cars drive down that road every day. One was the mailman or mailwoman. Kids did things young back then. It was no big deal. All the kids worked or did something. We didn’t have computers and iPads and smart phones and all the rest. There was work. One job of mine was slopping the hogs. I’d fill up two five-gallon buckets with separated milk as full as I could carry them and head to the pig pen. It was say 60 or 70 yards from the house, so it was a good trek without spilling the milk. If you only partfilled them then you had to make another trip. God forbid doing that. Kind of like today and carrying in the groceries. I hook a plastic sack on every finger so that I can get it all in one trip. Usually do too. Mick did the chickens. He’d gather the eggs and shut them in. He had sheep off and on so he’d have to gather them up. I guess the point I’m making is that since we lived in the country there was work to do no matter what age you were. Marge and I still have chores to do. That was what we called them back then. Chores in the evening and chores in the morning. Back then we had cows to milk night and morning. Just part of the chores. Now we fill the tanks with water so there is an ample amount for our steers to drink. We also give both the yearlings and the two year old steers some grain. The grain gives them a boost in energy but it also helps keep them gentle and familiar with Marge and me. Then I shut up my high tunnels and we both feed our cats and the dog. Marge has her own cats and I have my own. Back then once we had done the chores Mom would usually have supper ready or close to ready. Supper was the evening meal. We had breakfast and dinner and supper. Never had lunch. Usually had mid morning break or snack and mid afternoon break or snack. Did this all summer. But once we sat down for supper it was dark. And once you had eaten supper along with some dessert you were ready for bed. I’ll bet 340 days out of the year we had ice cream at bed time. I almost said 365 but there might have been a few we missed. As a rule

we always had ice cream. Now eating back then wasn’t no sit down and shovel it in and you are off to the races. We sat down and visited and ate. We took our time. Even today I’ll be the last one eating. Eating was a social event and not just eating. We visited. There was always enough food for an army so didn’t have to hurry. The only thing Mom rationed out was bacon. She’d fry so many pieces and then each of us got two or three or four slices. Can you imagine Mom and Dad and two boys tearing into a pile of bacon. We could have probably eaten two or three pounds. Marge and I can consume a pound between us. We love bacon. So we’d visit and visit. Mom and Dad would have to have a cup or two or three of coffee. Mick and I didn’t like coffee but we loved chocolate chip cookies dipped in Dad’s coffee. So we’d dip the cookies. Dad would put a healthy dose of real Jersey cream and sugar in his coffee. Almost like syrup. Good dipping coffee. But all the while we would visit. There were times when Mom would clear the table and we’d play pinochle or pitch. Normally TV wasn’t much. Reception was horrible. So we’d play games and eat and visit. There were times when we had homework but normally we didn’t. We had some in high school but even then there wasn’t that much homework. It was a shock how much homework there was in college. Gone are the days when everyone milked a few cows night and morning or gathered the eggs every day. Some still do but not many. If you are where you can, I’d have a few chickens. They will probably cost you more to keep them than the eggs will be worth. They are still invaluable. Got an acre or two of grass? Get a goat or a calf. Invaluable! Most won’t be able to have chickens or a calf but you can sure sit down and eat together. If I could roll back time the one thing I’d do is have a meal with Mom and Dad, brother in laws Duane and Don and sister in law Linda who have passed on, nephews who have passed away and the whole rest of the bunch. Be fun to enjoy a two hour Thanksgiving meal with the whole bunch. One other thing that I enjoyed as a lad growing up back then was the fact we did things as a family. All of us milked or did chores or went fishing or to the show or arrowhead hunting or hunting coyote dens or whatever. We all went. All of us might not have enjoyed the whole outing but we all went. We all participated. We was a family. Something invaluable right there. We was a family!

DEAR ABBY

Mom is flustered to find her family therapist on dating site Dear Abby: I am conflicted about boundaries being crossed between my family EANNE therapist and me. HILLIPS My 7-yearold son and I have been seeing someone we both bonded with and felt comfortable with. That is, until the therapist and I found each other on an online dating site. We matched a few months ago. Once I realized it was him, I felt embarrassed and blocked him on the site. He sent me an email within three minutes acknowledging that he knew it was me. He said he thought I was “awesome” and that I look better in person than in my pics. I was so embarrassed I didn’t respond. A couple of months

J P

went by and neither of us brought it up. My son invited him to his birthday party and he did attend. It wasn’t until later that I realized therapists are not supposed to attend social events with patients. We also text often, during late-night hours. A couple of weeks after my son’s birthday party he tried matching with me again on the dating site. I was surprised and sent him a text asking him what he was doing. He responded by asking me if I was enjoying it, but did not answer my question. I do have a slight crush on him, but I’m not sure what his intentions are. I am aware that it’s unethical. Unethical Crush Dear Unethical: You are correct that what the therapist has been doing is a breach of professional ethics. There is a reason for it. Patients are extremely vulnerable to manipulation.

When the online flirtation first started, you should have changed therapists. Heaven only knows how many other patients he has done this with. My advice is to draw the line, establish a working relationship with another therapist, and decide whether you want to report him to the association that licensed him to practice. You may have a crush on him, but what he is doing is predatory. Dear Abby: Common manners are going extinct quicker than the dinosaurs did. I was raised to open doors, stand up for women sitting down at the table, etc. Nowadays opening the door for most women feels like getting slapped in the face. There is no acknowledgment of any kind. Has our society disintegrated that far? These days if I open the door for someone and she doesn’t acknowledge the courtesy, I say, “Thank

you!” loud enough for her to hear and watch the reaction. I’m waiting for someone to slap me one day. Good Manners in Texas Dear Good Manners: I agree that when a courtesy is extended, it should be acknowledged. However, if it isn’t, shouting at someone is rude and makes you appear more like a petulant boor rather than the genteel individual your parents raised you to be. P.S. When a gentleman opens a door for me — old-fashioned girl that I am — I always thank him. Then I add, “You were raised RIGHT!” which is true, and we go our separate ways with a smile.

Dear Sam Resume, interview and job search advice.

Differentiating your candidacy in a sea of graduates and jobs, so he should be juggling a vibrant interview schedule! Ensure his brand is represented optimally, saturated with appropriate keywords, and reflected both in print and on his LinkedIn profile.

Dear Sam: My son graduated in May and has yet to find his first career position. We invested upwards of $185,000 on his undergraduate and graduate school education and he stepped out of school with the same resume as every one of his peers. He completed three internships during his academic journey, held two different part-time jobs (full time during school breaks), and earned Deanâ€™s List honors every semester, how can he not be getting called for a single interview? He is charismatic and communicative, so I know if he gets an interview he will represent himself well. Help! â€“ Want-to-be Empty Nester!

professional arena. You are right in that new grads often do walk out of school with an identical resume to their peers, not only as they are likely to have been taught to use a standard approach and template, but perhaps also as they went to the same career services professionals who have very limited resources to

Dear Want-to-be Empty Nester: I hear this routinely and it is one of the key reasons I am so passionate about helping entry-level candidates take their first step into the

Second, is he distributing wisely? Please be sure his distribution strategy (aka job search) is more than hitting â€œapply nowâ€? online. He should be tapping into his network, leveraging online networking sites (LinkedIn), soliciting informational interviews from those in the industry he is interested in, and digging deep to go beyond the surface level open market.

help a significant number of students. First, does he have a good resume? Benchmark on sites like mine to see if you need to start with the basics. He has great experience, obviously has a strong academic record, and should be armed with letters of recommendation from each of the internships

These are the first two things I would recommend he attack; once he gets those right, he should have a solid base on which to pivot and turn this job search around! Good luck Mom!

REAL ESTATE NOTEBOOK

Buying a foreclosed property? Eight ways to check if the deal is real Southeast Missouri REALTORS® Information is power, as they say. Becoming informed about a foreclosed property with potential is a must. There may be unresolved issues regarding occupancy, environment, claims, permits or structural issues, all of which may negatively impact the required time frame or budget. Unless you know which elements to look for, you may not be able to distinguish a good deal from a bad deal. Here are some of the most overlooked considerations real estate investors or hopeful homeowners should be aware of when purchasing a property in foreclosure. 1. “As is” condition Many foreclosed properties are sold in “as is” condition. That means the buyer assumes the risk of any and all environmental issues, title claims, open permits and open violations. It’s important to have an experienced team help assess the house. The team can help mitigate the risks, and the discounted price of a foreclosed property can make the purchase well worth the additional effort. 2. Title claims Liens and other claims on the property

title are often overlooked when considering purchasing a property in foreclosure. Things like unpaid contractor liens from years ago and convoluted inheritance claims are common among foreclosures, and can tie up a closing with red tape. Many buyers think they have an excellent deal until they experience the headache of trying to achieve a clear title. 3. Structural inspections It’s important to realize that foreclosures include an unhappy owner who is forcibly made to vacate the property. It’s not uncommon for foreclosed homeowners to devalue the property by removing fixtures or even causing structural damage to the house. Hiring a professional inspection company can mitigate financial loss down the line. 4. Home warranty Many foreclosures are sold “as is” and have been vacant for a while, which can impact the functionality of a water heater, furnace, plumbing, bathroom fixtures and appliances. Be sure to get a home warranty so that you’re protected if something breaks after you move in to protect yourself.

5. Knowing what you are buying Are you actually buying a home in the foreclosure process, or buying a bankowned home? If you are buying after it has gone through a bank foreclosure, your risk is focused on the condition. Unless you are very experienced, let the bank do the hard work, so you can get a “free-and-clear” property. Remember, it isn’t a deal just because it is a foreclosure. Banks are much savvier than they were 10 years ago! 6. Zero control over a closing date When acquiring a home in foreclosure, the No. 1 rule to keep in mind is that you are at the mercy of the bank or lien holder(s). As a result, you have absolutely no control over the amount of time it will take to get to closing. Sometimes the minority lien holder(s) are ready to settle, but the majority holder is not. If time is of the essence, targeting a home in foreclosure is not for you. 7. The myth of the cosmetic fixer Do “deals” still exist? Short sales and foreclosures are a good, cheap option. However, if a property has been neglected, which most of these properties have, the systems have also been neglected. Moisture damage, mold, sewer lines, roof, foundation, plumbing

Glenda Mayberry, Real Estate manager • 573-388-2764 • gmayberry@semissourian.com

and electrical should all be preinspected prior to submitting an offer. System repairs can eat into the budget. Make sure the deal is real! 8. What you see is not what you get What most people do not know is that the previous owner can take everything in that house with little legal ramifications. So say goodbye to those new appliances or beautiful marble countertops. The other problem is people think foreclosures are amazing opportunities to get a great deal. This common perception creates a frenzy of buyers who often bid up the property to regular market value.

HISTORIC ARCHITECTURE Living in a 17th century house has its tradeoffs BY TRACEE M. HERBAUGH

ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON — What does it take to make a 17th century house livable today? Ask Barbara Kurze, who lives at the James Blake House, which the Boston Landmarks Commission says is the oldest house in Boston. The five-room, two-level house was built in 1661 by Blake, an English immigrant, in Dorchester, now a neighborhood of Boston. Kurze was offered the chance to become live-in caretaker of the property, owned by the Dorchester Historical Society. Keeping the house both livable and historically authentic has been a constant struggle over the centuries, Kurze said. Like many municipalities, Boston has strict rules about making changes to historic buildings. “There’s always a balance, what to preserve and what modern touches are appropriate,” said Paul Hajian, an architect and professor of architectural design at Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Still, he added, “people in old houses don’t want to live like they’re in the 17th century.” Kurze, 58, a preservation planner, moved into the Blake House four years ago and brought a renewed ambition to restore the home to splendor. She enlisted the help of Boston-area interior designer Sarah Cole. Despite significant restoration work over the years, “It was clear when I first saw the house that it was in need of some serious maintenance and repairs,” said Cole, owner of design firm Sarah C. Interiors. “The paint was peeling everywhere and the plaster was crumbling.” To start, Cole and Kurze needed approvals from the Boston Landmark Commission and the Massachusetts Historical Commission to make interior changes. They received permission to restore the plaster on the walls and ceilings, and add a new

Until the early 1900s, most people simply didn’t have as much stuff. There wasn’t the need to store extra clothes, shoes and sporting equipment, as there is today. layer of paint. They could choose the color of paint so long as it adhered to the commission’s guidelines. Nothing could be hung on the walls, to prevent damage. Cole prioritized the house’s unique old charm when it came time for refinements. “If you look at the walls, they aren’t smooth, and our goal was not to make it look new,” she said. The Blake House’s floors are slightly uneven, and it has low ceilings and drafty, single-pane windows, all common characteristics of buildings from that era. Indoor plumbing and electricity were installed in the 19th century and have been updated since. There’s heat, but no air conditioning. Storage has proved problematic for the home’s occupant. The Blake House has only one closet. Until the early 1900s, most people simply didn’t have as much stuff. There wasn’t the need to store extra clothes, shoes and sporting equipment, as there is today. Another difference is a lack of overhead lighting. “It can get pretty dark,” Kurze said. The stairs leading to the second floor are narrow and steep. “I couldn’t bring most of my furniture because it wouldn’t fit up the stairs,” she said. After the plaster and paint were finished, Cole began looking for furniture that would fit — both physically and aesthetically. “We looked for things that came in pieces,” she said. “It was pretty difficult finding nicer furniture that could be

assembled but still look right in the space.” Accessories help give the rooms a modern feel. Cole chose a floor rug with natural, tan and terracotta hues to complement the wooden beams and floors in the living room, for instance. For Kurze, the biggest surprise about living in such a historic home has been the number of visitors who stop by to look at it. “Several Blake descendants have come by,” she said. “I’d say one comes by every month or so.”

RECIPE SWAP

The sweet autumn treat: pumpkin P

umpkin, pumpkin everywhere. As I wandered through the grocery store aisles there were numerous items for sale with pumpkin as the main theme. There were Pop Tarts, cookies, coffee creamer, and numerous baked good, all ready to welcome in pumpkin season. I had to jump on board and do at least one week on pumpkin themed recipes. All of the recipes today are desserts, calling for pumpkin. If you aren’t a pumpkin loving person, this column is not for you, and we’ll catch you again net week. Enjoy!

Pumpkin Spice Blondies 3/4 cup butter, softened 3/4 cup packed brown sugar 2 large eggs 4 teaspoons light corn syrup 1-1/2 teaspoons rum extract 1-1/3 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup white baking chips 3/4 cup chopped pecans, optional

For the frosting:

1-1/4 cups confectioners’ sugar 3 tablespoons cream cheese, softened 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract 1-1/2 to 2 teaspoons orange juice Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, corn syrup and extract. In another bowl, whisk flour, pie spice, baking powder and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Stir in baking chips and, if desired, pecans.

Spread into a greased 8-inch square baking pan. Bake 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean (do not overbake). Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. In a small bowl, beat confectioners’ sugar, cream cheese, vanilla and enough orange juice to reach a spreading consistency. Spread over top; cut into bars. Refrigerate leftovers.

Pumpkin Ice Cream Roll 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie

spice 1 teaspoon baking powder Dash salt 3 large eggs 1 cup sugar 2/3 cup pumpkin Confectioners’ sugar 1 quart butter pecan ice cream, softened Whipped cream, optional Toasted chopped pecans, optional

1-1/2 cups sugar 3 tablespoons pumpkin butter 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pans 1-1/2 cups cake flour (not self-rising) 3/4 tablespoon baking powder 3/4 teaspoon salt 4 large eggs 1 cup whole milk

In a small bowl, combine flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and salt. In a bowl, beat eggs at high speed for 5 minutes or until pale yellow. Gradually beat in sugar. Stir in pumpkin. Fold in dry ingredients. Line a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with greased and floured waxed paper. Pour batter into pan; bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes. Turn cake out onto a linen towel sprinkled with confectioners’ sugar. Peel off paper; roll up cake with towel. Cool on a wire rack. Unroll cake onto a baking sheet. Spread softened ice cream to within 1 inch of edges. Roll up cake again, without the towel. Cover and freeze. To serve, let stand a few minutes at room temperature before slicing. If desired, dust cake with confectioners’ sugar and top with the whipped cream and pecans. If Cooking for Two: Wrap cake roll in heavy-duty aluminum foil an slice as needed. Cake will keep for about 1 month.

For the pumpkin buttercream:

Pumpkin Cake with Pumpkin Frosting For the pumpkin cake:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened plus more for greasing pan

2 sticks unsalted butter, softened 3/4 of a 1-pound bag powdered sugar 3 to 4 tablespoons pumpkin butter Giant pinch of sea salt 1 to 2 tablespoons half and half (or whole milk) 1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, for garnish (optional) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 x 13 pan; line the bottom with parchment paper and/or grease up with butter. If you use parchment, make sure to butter that as well. Into a medium bowl, sift together the flours, baking powder, and salt; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar until well combined, then add in the pumpkin butter. Add in the eggs, one at a time until all is well combined. Take the flour mixture and beat it in in 3 parts, alternating with three parts of the milk, adding in one third of flour mixture, mix, then add in one third of the milk and mix. Then repeat. There may be a couple of lumps left in batter, but that’s okay. Do not overbeat

the batter. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake about 22 to 28 minutes. It does bake up fast, so make sure to check at the 23 minute mark. Let this cake cool completely before frosting. To make the frosting, using an electric mixer, mix all ingredients, adding the half and half in 1 tablespoon at a time, as you may not need the full 2 tablespoons. When cake is cooled, add on the frosting, then garnish with chopped walnuts or pecans.

Pumpkin Butter Crunch Bars For the cookie base:

9 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1-3/4 cup flour 1 teaspoon baking powder Giant pinch of sea salt 3 heaping tablespoons pumpkin butter For the icing:

4 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 tablespoons golden syrup 1 to 2 tablespoons pumpkin butter 1/2 cup powdered sugar Pinch of sea salt Use an 8-inch tart pan with removable bottom. The icing makes a lot, so if you want a little bit of icing, only use half and save the rest of the icing for pumpkin scones or a use of your choice. It keeps perfectly in the refrigerator, covered, for a week. Butter and/or spray an 8 or 9-inch rectangular tart pan with removable bottom. In a large bowl cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the pumpkin butter.

In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients into the creamed butter mixture until well combined. The dough will be very crumbly. This is fine. Turn the dough out onto the pan and spread it out, making sure to get into all the corners. Stick the dough in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before baking. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Bake the dough for 18-20 minutes, until it’s light golden brown or if you want really crunchy then golden brown. When the dough is almost done baking, make the icing by heating the butter and golden syrup over low heat in a small pan; add in the powdered sugar and pumpkin butter. Keep stirring until it’s all smooth. Do not let this boil, take off heat when everything is nice and combined. Once the dough is done baking pour the icing over the top. When smoothing out the icing try not to let it get into the edges. You want the edges to be seen as it gives a nice decorative appeal when it’s all cooled. Let this sit for at least 30 minutes to let the icing harden up/set up. If your kitchen is hot, then place in the refrigerator. Use a sharp knife to slice into bars or squares. Until next time, happy cooking. See more recipes at www. semissourian.com/columns/ recipeswap.
