From boat makers to farmers, U.S.-led tariff war inflicts pain BY PAUL WISEMAN AND MICHELLE R. SMITH

ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — A Florida boat builder absorbs $4 million in lost business and expects more pain. An Ohio pork producer is losing access to a vital export market and fears the damage will last years. A motorcycle shop near Cologne, Germany, wonders whether it even has a future. A brawl the United States provoked with its closest trading partners is starting to draw blood. On Friday, the European Union began imposing tariffs on $3.4

billion in American goods — from whiskey and motorcycles to peanuts and cranberries — to retaliate for President Donald Trump’s own tariffs on imported steel and aluminum. China, India and Turkey had earlier begun penalizing American products in response to the U.S. tariffs on metals. “We’re bleeding pretty bad right now,” said Jim Heimerl, a pork producer in Johnstown, Ohio. Pork producers such as Heimerl are already suffering from plunging prices and reduced income since China’s move to impose a 25 percent tariff on Amer-

We’re bleeding pretty bad right now.” JIM HEIMERL pork producer in Johnstown, Ohio ican pork in retaliation for Trump’s tariffs on imported steel and aluminum. If the trade rift doesn’t worsen, the damage to the overall economy will likely be modest, said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. But no one can say the economic harm will

end soon. On July 6, the United States is set to slap tariffs on $34 billion in Chinese goods to punish Beijing for forcing American companies to hand over technology in exchange for access to China’s market and other brass-knuckled attempts to supplant U.S. technological dominance. Beijing has vowed to retaliate. And Trump has threatened to punch back again with tariffs that could eventually cover $450 billion in Chinese products — representing nearly 90 percent of all goods Beijing exports to the United States.

Escalating tariffs likely would raise prices for consumers, inflate costs for companies relying on imported parts, rattle markets and paralyze business investment as executives wait to see whether the United States can reach a truce with the trading partners it’s fighting with. A full-fledged trade war, economists at Bank of America Merrill Lynch warn, risks tipping the U.S. economy into recession.

Stooges in Jackson under new ownership Former police officer Rodney Barnes returned to Jackson to take over the restaurant from longtime owner Ron Cook BY MARYBETH NIEDERKORN

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN

Stooges Restaurant in Jackson is under new ownership. Ron Cook, owner for 17 years, sold Stooges to former Jackson police officer Rodney Barnes, who said he plans to preserve what has made Stooges an “iconic” Jackson eatery: a neighborhood place people can go to meet and make friends. Barnes describes himself as a foodie who enjoys cooking, but more than that, he wants to push boundaries and experiment with what he likes to eat. He also wants to maintain

Stooges’ reputation as a live music venue. And, he said, he’ll keep the bar stocked with well drinks and beer — he plans to apply for a full liquor license. As to why he wanted to make the shift from police officer to restaurant owner, Barnes said, “It was time to follow my passion.” Cook wanted to sell, he said, and he wanted to buy. Barnes retired as a captain with the Jackson police force after 21 years, he said, and spent the last couple of years working at Washington University in St. Louis. See STOOGES, Page 4A

Scott County Sheriff Wes Drury responds to issue involving deputy BY MARK BLISS

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN Scott County Sheriff Wes Drury posted a fierce rebuttal online late Friday afternoon to a Southeast Missourian story about a deputy accused of stalking a woman. He accused the newspaper of several inaccuracies and accused the woman of grossly exaggerating the frequency of the times the deputy passed by her house. Furthermore, he said the department conducted a background check before hiring the officer. In a statement issued Friday on the sheriff’s department Facebook page, Drury defended deputy Travis Keller. The Southeast Missourian reported in Friday’s issue a judge had denied the woman’s request for an order of protection. Drury wrote the judge’s ruling was “based on the credible evidence” presented at Thursday’s hearing at the Scott County courthouse in Benton, Missouri. In his statement, Drury said the story was “poor journalism” and amounted to a “flagrant disregard of the facts.” Drury took issue with the reporting on a dozen items. Judge Rob Barker was a Mississippi County judge and not a Scott County judge, Drury said. The See SHERIFF, Page 5A

Jackson officer graduates from FBI program Southeast Missourian Lt. Alex Broch is the new media-relations officer for the Jackson Police Department, according to a news release. Broch recently graduated from the FBI’s National Academy Program, held at the FBI Academy. The

program, internationally known for academic excellence, offers 10 weeks of advanced communication, leadership and fitness training for the selected officers having proven records as professionals within their agencies, according to a release. Broch is the second offi-

cer from the Jackson Police Department to graduate from the National Academy, the release stated, the first being the current chief of police, James Humphreys, who graduated in 2001. Humphreys stated in the release, “I am extremely proud of Alex. This is a very renowned program

where only the best of the best get accepted to attend. He is now amongst some of the most elite officers across the nation and should be very proud of this accomplishment. We are very fortunate to have an officer of his caliber representing our department and our community.”

ST. LOUIS — More than 3,700 pregnant women and new mothers were hospitalized in Missouri for opioid abuse in the past two years, according to a new report. The Missouri Hospital Association research indicates the number of babies born suffering withdrawal symptoms could be underreported, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. State data had only identified more than 1,080 newborns diagnosed with neonatal abstinence syndrome during 2016 and 2017. “The existing data didn’t correlate well with what clinicians were reporting from the front lines of care,” said Herb Kuhn, the association’s president. Babies with the syndrome are more likely to be small and have respiratory issues, feeding problems, jaundice and seizures. Symptoms include diarrhea, shaking, sweating, crying excessively and being difficult to console. Babies suffering from

drug withdrawal symptoms usually stay in the hospital an average of 10 days longer than healthy babies. Related costs for babies with the syndrome average $33,000, compared to $5,000 for healthy babies. The state Medicaid program covers about 83 percent of delivery costs for babies born in Missouri with neonatal abstinence syndrome, the report found. The births totaled $10 million in Medicaid funding in 2016. Additional health care, social service and education fees after a baby leaves the hospital aren’t included in these amounts. Missouri passed a law this year extending Medicaid coverage to substance abuse treatment for women up to a year after they give birth. Providing treatment to low-income, uninsured women of childbearing age with substance use disorder prior to pregnancy could reduce costs of caring for exposed newborns, the report concluded.

Farmer looks back on life in war-torn Liberia Jaycee Akinsanya of Whitewater has written a book honoring his mother, ‘War, Momma, and Me: A Mother’s Steadfast Love During Civil Unrest’ By MARYBETH NIEDERKORN

Southeast Missourian

Jaycee Kesh Akinsanya is a man who defies easy labels. At first glance, he’s a welldressed man with an easy smile that radiates welcome and warmth. But Akinsanya has lived an extraordinary life, beginning with his early years in civilwar-torn Liberia, his flight with his family to the United States from the west African country, his studies as a monk with the Hare Krishnas, modeling work and self discovery before landing with his partner on an organic farm near Whitewater. Much of his life’s story is detailed in his new book, “War, Momma, and Me: A Mother’s Steadfast Love During Civil Unrest.” Akinsanya stands in the light, throwing a stick for his Great Dane named Neil Diamond, who makes wild loops around the house built by an acquaintance’s uncle. It’s a Thursday morning, and Akinsanya points out different beds planted with vegetables, herbs, fruit trees — and a stand of elderberry bushes he’s cultivating. “Some daisies came up in my garden,” he said. “They were a surprise. Super cool.” He sells his produce at Natural Health Organic Foods in Cape Girardeau, he said, and he also has a business engraving metal plaques. “I’m basically always here,” he said, gesturing broadly at the land and house. Off to one side, a small shed houses some guineas and ducks. Their waste can be composted into fertilizer for the crops, he said, but he keeps them out of the vegetable garden. “They’ll trample it,” he said, shaking his head. A giant white cloud of fluff and dog, a Great Pyrenees named Polly, hangs out between the house and shed, watching carefully. The garden beds are built

Akinsanya’s peaceful existence is a sharp contrast to his early life in Liberia, where civil war broke out in 1989, after a military coup in 1980 caused unrest for years. Akinsanya grew up with his mother, brother and one sister. His mother worked for the government, he said, meaning their existence was relatively stable, and she was able to shield him from much of the deprivations of war. “For me, it was fun,” he said. “I was 11. I didn’t know about war.”

The fighting was far from the city of Monrovia, where he lived with his family. He learned several life skills, he said, including how to dry food and fill water barrels from the well half a mile away from their house. “I had responsibility,” he said, laughing over the memory of buying candy for himself with a bit of money left over from buying food for the family. But by the end of July 1989, it “got nasty,” he said. Akinsanya’s tone remained level as he described a massacre of people holed up in his school, since classes weren’t in session, as it was summer. “Hundreds of people died,” he said. Akinsanya spoke of child soldiers and rebels hiding in the trees, making noises to mimic birds and other wildlife to communicate. “I didn’t know any of that was happening,” he said. “I didn’t know the intensity.” He did know about the dusk-to-dawn curfew, he

That she could say that in the middle of a war zone, while she had to be concerned for her children, is “just who she was,” he said. In October 1992, he started classes at a Catholic all-boys’ school in Liberia run by an order of nuns, the Adorers of the Blood of Christ. Charles Taylor, leader of the National Patriotic Front of Liberia that began the uprising against the government in 1989, started another fight after the school year started, Akinsanya said. “School abruptly stopped,” he said. During the fighting, some sisters from the order were killed, he said, and shortly after he relocated to Whitewater, Akinsanya discovered the order’s convent was a

short drive away, in Ruma, Illinois. So he visited. “It was one of the most amazing — it was really beautiful closure [after their deaths],” he said. There was more fighting, Akinsanya said, and for three years, the family persisted before finally fleeing to the United States in 1995. His father was a United States citizen, he said, so when there was a ceasefire, his father filed for him on an IR-2 (Child of a U.S. Citizen) visa, and he came to America. “Luckily I left then, because a few months later, another war broke out,” Akinsanya said. He said he received his naturalization recently, applying in 2017 at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services field office in St. Louis. At the office, his identity was verified through biometrics, and then he was interviewed.

Naturalization came later, at the courthouse in St. Louis, he said. What stands out to him from that time was how much of the trauma he was shielded from. “My mom was not traumatized. Why should I be?” he said. After a few years living with his mother, he moved on his own to Seattle where, he said, “I blossomed.” He did some modeling work for Nike while there, he said, and met some Hindu monks. After that, he said, he found himself asking, “Where do I fit?” He needed a space to not be anything, he said. “I ended up in Tucson,” he said. While there, he met his partner — and another person who alerted them to a house and piece of land in Whitewater, owned by an uncle who wasn’t living there. Akinsanya said he’d already applied as an intern at more than 40 farms, and been turned down by every single one. This opportunity was one he couldn’t pass up, he said. Akinsanya said his mother died in September. “She loved the farm,” he said. His father died in 2016, he said. It was hard, he said, but “life fixed itself.” His book was his way of grieving, he said. “Writing the book was very healing instead of traumatic,” he said. “Because I didn’t have to come up with ideas, as is done for fiction; I was just going back into my memories and recalling my life, and in a way having a mental conversation with my mom about all that we went through, and how we came out of the other side, and what became of me.” Akinsanya said his grief was filled with “thank-youmoms,” and that’s what the book reflects. “It’s a sort of, ‘because we went through such hard times that life threw at us, I am able to look deeper at life decisions now, and that’s thanks to how you as a mother handled it — your attitude through it all.’” mniederkorn@semissourian.com (573) 388-3630

Stooges From Page 1A Then this opportunity came up in Jackson, and he couldn’t resist, he said. “I’m not a restaurateur,” Barnes said, “but I know people, food and music.” Later, he said, “Food and music make people happy.” “The thing with Stooges is, you can be a business or a true part of a community,” Barnes said. “Stooges does a lot in that area, and I want to continue that, even expand it.” Barnes pointed to the annual holiday dinner Stooges has put on since 2015 as a prime example of the kind of community work he wants to continue. Barnes also wants to bring his passion for animal rescues into the mix. And there’s the food. “We’re keeping the fish and burgers,” he said. “We’re going to up our game but keep it affordable.” Customers might see Asian-inspired dishes on the specials board, he said, or pasta dishes, or Mexican. “I’ve traveled extensively, eaten everything I could get my hands on and brought back what I liked,” Barnes said. Barnes is a regular at an Italian restaurant on The Hill in St. Louis, he said, and from the first time he walked in, they treated him like family. “I want to keep that going at Stooges,” Barnes said. He’s also excited to join the historic uptown Jackson scene, he said, and to get in-

near the uptown district, at 507 W. Main St., he said it makes perfect sense. “I’m a firm believer that

all businesses thrive when we work together,” he said. “Ron has given me a great foundation,” Barnes said. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” He added, “We’re going to keep it going, and we’re going to keep it good.” Cook posted on his Facebook page earlier this month “The last 17 years with Stooges have been great and Stooges will get even better as fresh blood takes over. Rodney is a very good cook; I’m leaving the business in great hands.” Barnes said the restaurant will close briefly for some remodeling to expand the kitchen and streamline the décor. mniederkorn@semissourian.com (573) 388-3630

Sheriff From Page 1A Southeast Missourian incorrectly identified Barker as a Scott County judge. However, the judge serves in the 33rd Circuit, which covers Mississippi and Scott counties and, as reported in the Southeast Missourian, was hearing the case in Scott County. Drury said the woman, Sarah Marie Valenzuela, who was living in Morley, Missouri, earlier this year, made her initial complaint to Capt. Ron Meredith and not chief deputy Ryan Dennis. The Southeast Missourian incorrectly reported to whom the original complaint was made. Valenzuela subsequently made a complaint to Dennis. However, Drury’s claim the department performed a background check and a Jackson officer gave a positive review is disputed. Drury wrote that sheriff’s department employees contacted a sergeant with the Jackson Police Department, where Keller previously was employed. Drury said the

sergeant gave “a positive endorsement” of Keller. Jackson police chief James Humphreys said in a message to the newspaper Friday night the sergeant “did not give him a good review and no one came to do a fullfledged background check on him or look at his file.” Humphreys said the sergeant indicated he informed the sheriff’s department of Keller’s “issues here.” The police chief said Keller resigned “in lieu of termination for several policy violations as a result of an external complaint.” Drury, who did not respond Thursday to questions posed by the Southeast Missourian in an email and did not return a phone message, stated Friday his department also contacted an officer with another agency, along with a retired federal agent. Both officers “spoke highly of deputy Keller, and advised he was new to law enforcement and needed to be trained, but he was very professional and trustworthy,” Drury wrote. Valenzuela made two complaints, one to Meredith in April after Keller approached her at her house late at night,

and the other to Dennis in June. Drury said Meredith addressed the complaint by transferring Keller to the south zone consisting of the Sikeston, Missouri, area. But Morley resident Tiffany Klaffer told the Southeast Missourian the deputy admitted on one occasion he was in the Morley area of the north zone when he was supposed to be working the south zone. Valenzuela said Friday night Meredith told her after she filed her complaint Keller would no longer be patrolling in Morley. But June 3, she said in her petition Keller was in Morley making a traffic stop and then proceeded to follow her to her mother’s home in the Scott County town. Valenzuela said she subsequently complained to Dennis and questioned why Keller was patrolling again in Morley. Dennis testified in court Thursday that Keller had been reassigned to patrol in that area. Valenzuela said Dennis told her after the June incident “he was going to correct this type of behavior.”

Tariffs From Page 1A hog farmers depend on China’s growing market. The price of hog futures has plunged since the tensions with Beijing started flaring in March. On an annual basis, it means a loss to pork producers of $2.2 billion, according to Iowa State University economist Dermot Hayes. China is “a big player to us,” Heimerl said. “They take a lot of products the U.S. doesn’t eat — hearts, lungs, intestines, stomachs and heads, some of the products we don’t eat here.” He recalls it took American farmers years to recover after President Jimmy Carter imposed a grain embargo on the Soviet Union in 1980 and cut off a crucial market. In the next round of tariffs, the Chinese are preparing retaliatory penalties on American soybeans — an economically vital export of Midwestern farmers, who have been a key source of support for Trump. The Europeans, too, targeted American products with political calculation — bourbon from Kentucky, the home state of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and motorcycles, which are made in Wisconsin, represented by House Speaker Paul Ryan. Yet the pain of the EU’s 25 percent motorcycle tariffs is being felt across the Atlantic, too. Just ask Andy Mueller, who sells Tennes-

They were already ordered by customers, and they’re on their way now. Now we need to explain that they have to pay a special price” that includes the added cost of the tariff. “We can sell what we have, but we can’t order new units,” Mueller said. He fears for the future: “Boss Hoss is done for sure in Europe.” Also in the EU’s crosshairs: America’s recreational boating industry. It employs 650,000 people in the United States at manufacturers, marinas and dealers. Ninety-five percent of the boats sold in the U.S. are American-made. It’s no coincidence the EU slapped U.S. motorboats, sailboats

and yachts with 25 percent tariffs, said Nicole Vasilaros of the National Marine Manufacturers Associations. Canada is also readying a 10 percent tariff on boats to begin July 1. The industry has “become a target for those that are wishing to make a point to this president,” Vasilaros said. “It’s a real U.S. manufacturing industry. In an era where not a lot is still made here in the U.S., boats are.” The top boat-building states are Florida, Tennessee, North Carolina, Minnesota, Indiana, Arkansas and Wisconsin. In Orlando, Florida, Regal Marine Industries — which makes everything from 19-foot motorboats to 53-foot yachts priced above $1 million — said it’s had $4 million worth of orders canceled or delayed. CEO Duane Kuck estimates the company, which employs 750 in Orlando and Valdosta, Georgia,

She said Dennis at one point told her Keller had been “written up” for his actions. Valenzuela, who recently moved to Oran, Missouri, reported a vehicle matching the officer’s vehicle had driven by her residence in Morley more than 200 times between December 2017 and June 3. Drury said at the hearing Valenzuela could not be certain whether the patrol car was driven by Keller or another deputy. But Valenzuela told the judge she spotted Keller driving the vehicle on numerous occasions. At the hearing, Dennis told the judge Meredith had yet to review all the GPS records dating back to December and could not confirm how many times Keller may have been in the area. Dennis told the court Keller admitted to passing by Valenzuela’s mother’s house on June 3 “two or three times.” But Valenzuela said Dennis also indicated GPS records don’t show him passing by the house on that occasion. Valenzuela said in her petition Keller followed her for 45 minutes June 3. GPS records show it was only 20 minutes,

will lose $13 million in revenue this year from European and Canadian tariffs. “It’s hitting very hard and very quick,” Kuck said. The EU and Canada accounted for up to 20 percent of Regal’s business. If the tariffs last past 60 days, Kuck estimates his company would have to cut about 40 jobs, either through attrition or layoffs. Bertram Yachts in Tampa, Florida, is scrambling to salvage sales. This week, a customer in Monaco called to cancel the purchase of a $4 million, 61-foot yacht, citing the added cost of the tariffs. To save the deal, CEO Peter Truslow plans to offer to make the contract contingent on the tariffs being lifted. Yet it’s far from clear when — or whether — that might happen. “It could be a day, it could be years,” Truslow said. Before the tariffs, Bertram had been growing rapidly, with Europe accounting for perhaps 15 percent of sales. The company had planned to expand its staff of 90; the tariffs have put any hiring on hold. “The perception in the public,” Truslow said, “is there’s a bunch of rich guys hanging out at fancy marinas or something. But 90 percent of the people that work in the yacht business, they’re laying fiberglass and installing hardware. They’re hourly, hard-working guys, the same as you’d see in a car manufacturer. Those are the ones that get affected. “Who’s the loser in this? The small yacht companies and the employees.”

Drury said. Keller told the judge he started watching the Valenzuela residence because an informant told him “a large quantity of marijuana” was being distributed out of the Morley house. Valenzuela told the judge the allegation was a lie. Multiple sources told the Southeast Missourian the sheriff’s administration indicated after Drury took office in 2017 the department would no longer conduct drug investigations and would leave that work to the SEMO Drug Task Force. Drury said, “These sources are not credible. This statement is inaccurate, and I have deputies working investigations. I have two detectives working most of our drug investigations, and we also allow our patrol deputies to work their own drug cases.” He said his department shares information with the drug task force. “No drug cases have been turned over to the SEMO Drug Task Force,” Drury said. Drury said Barker was correct not to allow into evidence two letters submitted by Tiffany and Landon Klaf-

fer of Morley. Such items are not generally admissible as evidence, he said. “The hearing contained no evidence supporting any threatening action by Keller toward Mrs. Valenzuela via phone or in person,” Drury wrote. Valenzuela made an “unsupported claim” Keller had followed one of her friends from Chaffee to Oran, Missouri, on the night of June 12, Drury said. A check of the GPS record showed Keller was never in the cities of Oran or Chaffee at that time, Drury said. The petition did not mention the claim he had followed one of her friends, although it was brought up during the hearing and Dennis testified the GPS records show Keller was not following Valenzuela’s friend. Drury wrote, “My deputies work hard for the citizens of this county. I want to assure the county that we work our cases, we patrol to protect the communities, and we addressed Mrs. Valenzuela’s concerns in a professional and credible manner.” mbliss@semissourian.com (573) 388-3641

Parson signs first 5 bills as governor By BLAKE NELSON

Associated Press

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Gov. Mike Parson on Friday signed his first five bills into law since taking office, including one exempting small farms from parts of the state’s clean water law. The legislation said farms would not need a permit to allow water from their property to run into the state’s waterways, whether from irrigation or precipitation. The exemption would not apply to larger farms, and the Department of Natural Resources would still be allowed to intervene to stop pollution. The law also restricts the department from applying new regulations to certain landfills with coal ash, a toxic byproduct of coal plants, unless it has data confirming there is an “imminent threat” to people or the environment. When a version of the coal ash proposal was debated on the House floor, some lawmakers criticized

it as a potential threat to Missouri’s groundwater. Proponents responded the changes removed needless regulation and still provided multiple ways for the department to fight pollution. Another element of the law establishes a “Radioactive Waste Investigations Fund,” a topical investment considering a federal report released Monday concluded “radiological contamination” in North St. Louis County could have increased residents’ risk of cancer. Parson did not directly comment on any of the bills in a statement, but did praise lawmakers overall for their work. Another bill signed into law makes disposable diapers part of the Back to School Sales Tax Holiday that occurs every August. The Legislature passed 143 bills this year, and just over half were signed into law by former Gov. Eric Greitens hours before he resigned June 1. Dozens of proposals are still in limbo, including the state budget.

Justices reject warrantless cellphone tracking By MARK SHERMAN

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Police generally need a warrant to look at records revealing where cellphone users have been, the Supreme Court ruled Friday in a big victory for privacy interests in the digital age. The justices’ 5-4 decision marks a big change in how police may obtain information phone companies collect from the ubiquitous cellphone towers allowing people to make and receive calls and transmit data. The information has become an important tool in criminal investigations. Chief Justice John Roberts, joined by the court’s four liberals, said cellphone location information “is detailed, encyclopedic and effortlessly compiled.” Roberts wrote “an individual maintains a legitimate expectation of privacy in the record of his physical movements” as they are captured by cellphone towers. Roberts said the court’s decision is limited to cellphone tracking information and does not affect other business records, including those held by banks. He also wrote police still can respond to an emergency and obtain records without a warrant. But the dissenting conservative justices, Anthony Kennedy, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch, cast doubt on Roberts’ claim the de-

cision was limited. Each wrote a dissenting opinion and Kennedy said in his the court’s “new and uncharted course will inhibit law enforcement” and “keep defendants and judges guessing for years to come.” Roberts does not often line up with his liberal colleagues against a unified front of conservative justices, but digital-age privacy cases can cross ideological lines, as when the court unanimously said in 2014 a warrant is needed before police can search the cellphone of someone they’ve just arrested. The court ruled Friday in the case of Timothy Carpenter, who was sentenced to 116 years in prison for his role in a string of robberies of Radio Shack and T-Mobile stores in Michigan and Ohio. Cell tower records spanning 127 days and investigators got without a warrant bolstered the case against Carpenter. Investigators obtained the records with a court order requiring a lower standard than the “probable cause” needed for a warrant. “Probable cause” requires strong evidence a person has committed a crime. The judge at Carpenter’s trial refused to suppress the records, finding no warrant was needed, and a federal appeals court agreed. The Trump administration said the lower court decisions should be upheld.

CONGRESSIONAL VOTES FOR JUNE 22

The American Civil Liberties Union, representing Carpenter, said a warrant would provide protection against unjustified government snooping. “This is a groundbreaking victory for Americans’ privacy rights in the digital age. The Supreme Court has given privacy law an update that it has badly needed for many years, finally bringing it in line with the realities of modern life,” said ACLU attorney Nathan Freed Wessler, who argued the Supreme Court case in November. The administration relied in part on a 1979 Supreme Court decision treating phone records differently than the conversation in a phone call, for which a warrant generally is required. The earlier case involved a single home telephone and the court said then people had no expectation of privacy in the records of calls made and kept by the phone company. “The government’s position fails to contend with the seismic shifts in digital technology making possible the tracking of not only Carpenter’s location but also everyone else’s, not for a short period but for years and years,” Roberts wrote. The court decided the 1979 case before the digital age, and even the law on which prosecutors relied to obtain an order for Carpenter’s records dates from 1986, when few people had cellphones.

New lights brighten up Broadway streetscape D

riving down Broadway the other night (operative word: night) the trees along the road looked wonderful. Full and green. In fact, the whole streetscape popped: soft, clean, welcoming. That’s when it dawned on me: the new lights are in and actually making a difference. Kudos to the City of Cape Girardeau for making the change! on k Everyone will have their own opinion ust about how much of an improvement the new LED lights make. Because they’re spaced farther apart, they’re not as bright as the street lamps on Main Street. And, the fact the light containers hang over the street, crossing the sky with wires, remains a controversial original decision. But the new “bulbs” work significantly better, and in fact, I like that they’re not too bright or garish. The sidewalks look pleasant to walk, even at night, and most of the previously dark areas are now splashed in enough illumination to feel safe. That certainly wasn’t the case before. Meanwhile, because they’re not too bright, the buildings along the way that have lighting incorporated into their design still stand out, beautifully. My understanding is the consultants who originally recommended the hanging lights thought that business owners along the street would eventually decorate their buildings with lighting. And, thus, ambiance would generate from the buildings rather than the streetlamps. If true, it’s a plan only slowly working to fruition. But some businesses have, indeed, used lighting to cause their businesses to sparkle. And those areas, in conjunction with the new lights, are something charming to behold. For those who’ve followed this newspaper, they know the new lights cost around $94,000 and were the result of several city reviews of what could be done to brighten the street. With each fruitless review, however, hope diminished. The city appeared to be stuck for … decades? Now, there’s not only hope, there are results. Not previously announced, but coming soon, another lighting improvement is on its way. Thanks to the Downtown Community Improvement District, which has already invested in new benches and trash cans throughout the downtown, as well as security presence on weekends and enhanced litter pickup throughout the week, lights will be installed to illuminate the trees on Broadway. Not Christmas lights. But directional lights, pointing up to bathe the trunks and leaves in radiance. (Disclosure: I serve on the CID board.) An idea I’ve had, with little success so far, is for sculptures, made out of and featuring colored light, to be added strategically throughout the area. Hopefully a business owner (AT&T? You have the darkest stretch along downtown Broadway) will take the lead. Here at the Southeast Missourian and Rust Center for Media, we already added an illuminated “Quill.” With such changes, downtown continues to progress. If you haven’t been there lately, it’s a good time to visit for dinner, maybe a microbrew, ice cream or a stroll, including at night, when the air isn’t as warm, and the sidewalks are bright enough to see where you’re going — figuratively and literally.

Find a balanced solution to immigration, stop preening V

irtue signaling soared to new heights with the family separation issue on the southern border. Too many people, including many well-meaning ones, are leaving their avid minds at the door with imbaugh knee-jerk responses to media hype. No, I’m not saying there wasn’t a real problem with separating children from their parents on the border, and I’m not saying I was indifferent to this matter. Quite the opposite. But I am surprised that people can get worked up to a mob-like frenzy if the media and certain politicians stoke things enough and if they are feeling strong peer pressure to oversimplify issues and join stern moral rebukes of anyone who even raises questions. One reason the Framers incorporated checks and balances into our Constitution is to prevent government from being overly reactive and moving too quickly — not that there aren’t warranted exceptions to that rule. It’s striking that people can become hysterical over a gradually developing problem. Donald Trump ran and was elected on an immigration enforcement platform. He promised stringent border enforcement, centered on the building of a wall. If he has a mandate on anything, it is this issue. At the core of Trump’s immigration position is his strong commitment to America’s national sovereignty. An essential component of that is a vigorous adherence to the rule of law. Thus, it should have been no surprise when Trump’s attorney general issued his zero-tolerance policy concerning border enforcement. As chief executive officer of the United States, why wouldn’t this border hawk formally reverse a reckless policy that pulverizes the rule of law? That he even needed Jeff Sessions to issue such an order is a testament to the degree to which we have abandoned the rule of law, from laxity on the border to sanctuary cities. One problem with being a policy slave to one’s emotions is that it clouds one’s judgment to the ramifications of precipitous government action. Did those clamoring for Trump’s immediate reversal of Ses-

D L

sions’ order to enforce the law consider or care that our cynical nonenforcement is what largely led to the “crisis” we have been witnessing on the border? Isn’t it obvious that the government’s known ambivalence to border enforcement has incentivized migration to the United States, which inarguably includes terrorists, gang members and other criminals who have no interest in assimilating? In all their moral preening, do they really believe America can or should absorb unlimited numbers with no restrictions at all? We used to have a national consensus that immigration should be an orderly process, closely regulated to ensure that applicants demonstrate their genuine desire to become a part of America, embracing its ideals and pledging their commitment to the Constitution. That consensus is gone. The Democratic Party and too many Republicans are open-borders advocates believing, as a logical extension of the policies they support, albeit not outright, that this nation has no moral or sovereign right to control its borders. That is astounding. If you love this nation and its founding ideals, how could you possibly endorse open borders, which would eventually destroy the nation, if for no other reason than uncontrolled immigration guarantees a disintegration of the American compact? But when advocates of border enforcement make these arguments, they are met immediately with catcalls of nativism and racism or some perverse brand of nationalism. Open-borders zealots have even turned the idea of patriotism into a dirty word — as a code for racism. The glaring irony is that our unique constitutional system and the values undergirding it produced the very freedom and prosperity that have always drawn immigrants to this nation. Don’t even get me started on the Democratic Party’s cynical attempt to fast-track amnesty to add a new class of people to its voting rolls. As with African-Americans, it has convinced many Hispanic immigrants that Republicans hate them, as opposed to revering our national sovereignty and the rule of law. It’s undeniable that Democratic leaders exploited this issue for political gain. If the children were their primary concern, they would join with Republicans in enforcing

the border and thereby disincentivize caravans of people migrating toward our border. Moreover, instead of blaming President Trump, they would acknowledge that it is the parents and fake parents who are the principal culprits, for if they had complied with the law and the proper immigration process, their children would not have been separated from them, except in justifiable cases. Most significantly, they would have applauded President Trump for finally yielding to their demands and issuing an executive order saying that children will not be separated from their parents, pending review of the parents’ cases. But as soon as Trump signed the order, his critics moved to the next demagogic Trump-bashing phase, excoriating him for keeping both the parents and the children in detention. In other words, Trump has flushed them out. It wasn’t about the children. Their purpose in browbeating Trump — beyond the obvious one, politically damaging him — is to push back to “catch and release,” which rewards those who jump the line and illegally enter our country with practical immunity. This should be a lesson to Republicans snowed by Democrats and the media into becoming part of the mob. Democrats have had endless chances to show their good faith but would prefer, until they can secure blanket amnesty for up to 20 million new Democratic voters, to reserve this issue for maximum political gain. I dare say that the lax enforcement policies that Democrats want to restore would be more destructive to children in the long run — both immigrant children and American children, the latter of whom would eventually be disinherited from the blessings we’ve enjoyed as citizens of the greatest nation ever conceived. I pray that we approach the entire immigration issue with sobriety, prudence and compassion — weighing all factors and producing a solution that honors the Constitution and rule of law and minimizes harm to children (domestic and foreign), both in the present and in the future.

Blind to real problems F

or several decades, a few black scholars have been suggesting that the vision held by many black Americans is entirely wrong. Dr. Shelby Steele, a scholar at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, said: “Instead of admitting that racism has alter declined, we (blacks) argue illiams all the harder that it is still alive and more insidious than ever. We hold race up to shield us from what we do not want to see in ourselves.” Dr. John McWhorter, professor of English and comparative literature at Columbia University, lamented that “victimology, separatism, and anti-intellectualism underlie the general black community’s response to all race-related issues,” adding that “these three thought patterns impede black advancement much more than racism; and dysfunctional inner cities, corporate glass ceilings, and black educational underachievement will persist until such thinking disappears.”

In the 1990s, Harvard professor Orlando Patterson wrote, “America, while still flawed in its race relations ... is now the least racist white-majority society in the world; has a better record of legal protection of minorities than any other society, white or black; (and) offers more opportunities to a greater number of black persons than any other society, including all those of Africa.” During an interview in December with The Daily Caller, Steele said the anti-Americanism that started during the 1960s and has become mainstream and visible in the black community is “heartbreaking and sad.” That anti-Americanism that so dominates the American black identity has been “ruinous to black America, where we are worse off than we were under segregation by almost every socio-economic measure.” Some people might challenge Steele’s assertion that in many measures blacks are worse off than during segregation. How about some numbers? As late as 1950, female-headed households were only 18 percent of the black population. Today 70 percent of black children are raised in single-parent households. In the late 1800s,

there were only slight differences between the black family structure and those of other ethnic groups. In New York City in 1925, for example, 85 percent of kin-related black households were two-parent households. According to the 1938 Encyclopaedia of the Social Sciences, that year 11 percent of black children were born to unwed mothers. Today about 75 percent of black children are born to unwed mothers. From 1890 to 1940, a slightly higher percentage of black adults had married than white adults. Today about twice as many blacks have never married as whites. The bottom line is that the black family was stronger the first 100 years after slavery than during what will be the second 100 years. What about the labor market? In every census from 1890 to 1954, blacks were either just as active as or more so than whites in the labor market. During that earlier period, black teen unemployment was roughly equal to or less than white teen unemployment. As early as 1900, the duration of black unemployment was 15 percent shorter than that of whites; today it’s about 30 percent longer. Would anyone suggest that there

was less racial discrimination during earlier periods? White liberals and the Democratic Party are the major beneficiaries of keeping black people fearful, angry, victimized and resentful. It’s crucial to both their political success and their efforts to change our nation. Racial harmony would be a disaster for leftists, be they politicians, academic liberals or news media people. As for black politicians and civil rights hustlers, Booker T. Washington long ago explained their agenda, writing: “There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.” Walter E. Williams is a professor of economics at George Mason University.

PERSPECTIVES

Scandals sanitized with linguistic trickery T

hroughout Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s massive report on the Hillary Clinton email investigation are lots of strange things. One of the weirdest is the ictor extent to which the avis FBI went to make up words and phrases to anson disguise reality. An early draft of the 2016 FBI report on the email scandal was reportedly subjected to linguistic surgery to exonerate the former secretary of state, who at the time was the Democratic nominee for president. Clinton was originally found to be “grossly negligent” in using an illegal email server. That legalistic phrase is used by prosecutors to indict for violation of laws governing the wrongful transmission of confidential government documents. Yet the very thought of a likely President Clinton in court so worried the chief investigator, FBI Director James Comey, that he watered down “grossly negligent” to the mere “extremely careless.” FBI investigators also had concluded that it was “reasonably likely” foreign nations had read Clinton’s unsecured emails. Comey intervened to mask such a likelihood by substituting the more neutral word “possible.” Former President Barack Obama was found to have improperly communicated with Clinton over her illegal server while she was in a foreign country. Obama had denied that fact by falsely claiming that he never knew of her server until much later, after it was publicized. The FBI hierarchy under Comey tried to hide the embarrassing details of Obama’s conduct. As a result, the FBI deleted Obama’s name from its report. In its place, the FBI inserted the laughable “another se-

V D H

nior government official” — as if the president of the United States was just another Washington grandee who had improperly communicated on an illicit email server. According to Comey’s congressional testimony, then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch ordered him not to use the supposedly incriminating noun “investigation” in connection with his investigation of the Clinton emails. Instead, she instructed Comey to use the benign-sounding “matter.” One of the oddest mysteries of the IG report is the FBI’s delay in addressing the fact that disgraced former U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner had a number of Clinton’s private emails on his unsecured laptop. They were all forwarded to him by his wife, Huma Abedin, an aide to Clinton. Their Washington-insider marriage had been widely publicized. Yet Comey, the nation’s premier public investigator, claimed he had no idea that Weiner and Abedin were married. Comey would have the inspector general believe that Abedin had forwarded numerous emails from Clinton, some of them classified, to a mere acquaintance. Stranger still, Comey asserted his ignorance of the Weiner-Abedin marriage in an Orwellian manner: “I don’t know that I knew that [Weiner] was married to Huma Abedin at the time.” Translated, that means Comey claimed that he was not sure at one point that he was sure at another point that Weiner was married to Abedin, at least at the time when the emails came to his attention. Therefore, he did not act as he should have. What were the common themes in the FBI’s linguistic distortions? Two realities: One, the FBI made sure that Obama, the boss of most of the wayward FBI and DOJ officials, was not to be entangled in any scandal. Two, seemingly everyone at the Department of Justice and FBI

assumed Hillary Clinton was going to be president. They were sure Donald Trump was headed for a humiliating and well-deserved defeat. Therefore, in the heat of the 2016 campaign, the FBI and DOJ did what they could to ingratiate themselves with those they expected to be in power during a likely eightyear Clinton presidency. The inspector general’s report on the Clinton email covers just one scandal. Presumably, the IG and other investigators will issue reports on a number of other ongoing scandals that involved the 2016 campaign. How did government officials, by hiding information about the so-called Steele dossier, mislead the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to get warrants to spy on U.S. citizens associated with the Trump campaign? How was it decided that the Clinton campaign would pay Richard Steele for gathering dirt on the Trump campaign, and how did the information from the dossier get to intelligence agencies? How was an FBI informant inserted into the Trump campaign? How were names of U.S. citizens unmasked by Obama administration officials and leaked to the press? If the IG report on the Clinton email scandal is any guide to these upcoming investigations, expect widespread abuse of the English language to warp reality. The media is using the antiseptic “informant” in place of the cruder but more accurate “spy” or “mole.” The off-putting but accurate “wiretapping” has become the more professional “surveillance.” The sanitized “improper” always sounds cleaner than the more accurate “illegal.” In sum, “2016” could make a logical sequel to “1984.” authorvdh@gmail.com

41.6% No

53.7% Yes

Comments n Yes . Legalization nationwide . n If you do this, you will end up legalizing cocaine, meth and heroin. That’s really what you want isn’t it. n Has illegal done anything but thrown money down the sewer? How much is spent by the DEA alone and has it stopped anything? Why not make some revenue and stop one more thing the LEO’s have to deal with .

n 38.9 percent: Optimistic but we will wait and see if it pans out. n 27.7 percent: Historic. Very excited. n 18.5 percent: The President should not have gone. n 10.3 percent: Glad he went but disappointed in summit result. 4.6 percent: Don’t know

Comments n The President should not have gone? The only reason that you would vote for that way is HATE for the President, not that it might change the threats of having a nuke attack here or somewhere around the world. The man has done something that no other President has ever done before, get them at least to sit down and start talking in a positive manner. Only time will tell. But one side of politics has so much hate that they can’t see past it, it doesn’t matter what you are — Democrat or Republican, hope that this turns into something good for America and worldwide. n I think this is better than what he was doing, but who are you kidding? This is Trump we are talking about. He went there and got nothing in return. He says he got them to denuclearize but doesn’t have any way to verify that they are denuclearizing. And don’t forget both sides have a history of breaking agreements. Trump has pulled out of the Paris Accord, The Iranian deal, etc. North Korea has a history of promising to denuclearize and yet they back out time and time again. It would be great if we would have peace in Korea, but it’s not likely to happen with this administration and their history.

Congress is Broken… and Spineless I

t’s no surprise that Democrats and everyone in the liberal media are blaming President Trump personally for the crying immigrant children at the border. He gets blamed ichael for everything their eagan hysterical minds can think of. But it’s not up to him to fix what’s wrong with our messed-up immigration policies. It’s up to Congress. The problem is, as Americans can see for themselves every day, Congress is broken — and crawling with spineless politicians. Our senators and representatives can’t or won’t come up with an immigration reform bill and send it to the president’s desk any time soon — just like they couldn’t or wouldn’t do so when Bush II and Obama were presidents. Both parties are at fault. For more than 30 years, no matter which party controlled Congress or the White House, they did nothing significant to fix our illegal immigration problem — which now should be more accurately described as “an illegal invasion problem.” House Republicans today can’t even get their act together to pass an immigration bill and send it to the Senate, where they’d never get it passed anyway. Meanwhile, cynical Democrats prefer to continue using footage of

M R

crying children as propaganda weapons in their 24/7 war against Trump and anyone bearing his name. When Melania Trump flew down to Texas this week to see firsthand how illegal immigrants and their children are being treated at the Mexican border, some creepy media people made fun of her. But she deserved applause, not laughs. She did something I bet 95 percent of the members of Congress have never done. She actually went to find out what madness our border security people have to deal with every day. No one with a heart likes to see kids crying or suffering behind chain-link fences (except the anti-Trump media who weaponize the image). But children of illegal immigrants caught at the border have been separated from their parents for years. It happened while Obama was president, though the liberal media didn’t notice or get hysterical about it or his other strict, Trumpian policies. Now everyone in the media is appalled because it’s occurring under Trump? I get it. No one expects fairness or historical perspective from the liberal mainstream media when it comes to Trump. Like so many other issues, on this one the president was doomed no matter what he did. When he told Congress that immigration was its job to fix, he was correct. But Congress and the liberal media begged him: “Please, Mr. President.

You can solve this tragic separation problem simply with your signature.” So Trump did a 180. He signed an executive order to cease his own administration’s practices and allow families (or alleged families) seeking asylum to be detained together until they were vetted or processed. And what was his reward for his change of heart? People whined that it wasn’t enough or that it would make things worse. Meanwhile, since spineless Congress isn’t going to touch immigration reform this year or in 2020 or maybe ever, what should we do? There are no good or easy answers. But if we really want to make sure kids and their parents from Honduras or Guatemala are kept together after we catch them trying to break into the United States, I’ve got a cheap and sensible idea we could try. We should immediately put them on a nice bus and send them home. Actually, I stole the bus idea from Barack Obama. In 2014 he told George Stephanopoulos on TV that he had a tough message for the families of Central America who were thinking of sneaking their kids into the USA: “Do not send your children to the borders. If they do make it, they’ll get sent back.” Maybe President Trump should ask Obama if he has any other good advice. Michael Reagan is the son of President Ronald Reagan, a political consultant and author.

For immigrants, no word on when they will be reunited By WILL WEISSERT, AMY TAXIN and COLLEEN LONG

Associated Press

McALLEN, Texas — Two days after President Donald Trump ordered an end to the separation of families at the border, federal authorities Friday cast about for jail space to detain them together, leaving hundreds of parents in the dark on when they would be reunited with their children. Immigration and Customs Enforcement posted a notice saying it is looking into creating 15,000 beds for use in detaining immigrant families. A day earlier, the Pentagon agreed to provide space for as many as 20,000 migrants on U.S. military bases. Beyond that, however, there was nothing but frustration and worry for many of the parents separated from their children and placed in detention centers for illegally entering the country over the past several weeks. Some parents struggled to get in touch with youngsters being held in many cases hundreds of miles away, in places such as New York and the Chicago area. Some said they didn’t even know where their children were. Trump himself took a hard line on the crisis, accusing the Democrats of telling “phony stories of sadness and grief.” He met with parents who had children killed by immigrants in the country illegally to make the point they are the real victims of weak borders. “We cannot allow our country to be overrun by illegal immigrants,” the president tweeted. More than 2,300 children were taken from their families at the border in recent weeks. A senior Trump administration official said about 500 of them have been reunited since May. Trump’s decision to stop separating families, announced Wednesday after a fierce international outcry, has led to confusion and uncertainty along the border. Federal agencies are working to set up a central-

House approves bill to expand opioid treatment Associated Press WASHINGTON — The House has overwhelmingly approved legislation designed to give health care providers more tools to stem an opioid crisis killing more than 115 people in the United States daily. The legislation passed Friday by a vote of 396-14. The bill encourages states to increase coverage of treatment for substance abuse disorders through Medicaid. The legislation also seeks to expand the use of medications to treat opioid abuse. It would allow more health care providers to treat patients with a drug reducing risks of overdoses. It adds methadone clinics to the Medicare program.

ized reunification process for all remaining children at a detention center in Texas, said the senior administration official, who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. An ICE official said it is unclear how families will be reunified. “It’s a big question. There have not been a lot of answers,” Henry Lucero, a director of field operations, confessed at a forum in Weslaco, Texas. In the meantime, federal authorities appear to be easing up on the Trump administration’s “zero-tolerance” policy of prosecuting all adults caught illegally entering the U.S. — though the Justice Department flatly denied there has been any change. The federal public defender’s office for the region covering El Paso to San Antonio said in an email prosecutors will no longer charge parents with illegally entering the U.S. if they have children with them. Outside the federal courthouse in McAllen, immigration attorney Efren Olivares said 67 people were charged Friday morning with illegal entry, but none were parents with children. “It appears that this is a consequence of a change in policy by the government,” he said. In Arizona, the federal public defender’s office in Tucson quickly put together a legal education class for attorneys and advocates on how to handle cases of separated families. The course was put together quickly to help attorneys understand what they can do to help. Amid the chaos over the zero-tolerance policy, many immigrants continue to seek asylum at the border, and they are typically allowed to stay with their children. Maria Del Carmen Barrios, 33, said she, her 15-yearold sister and her 6-month old baby boy fled violence in their native San Marcos in Guatemala. After a 13-day journey, she said the trio presented themselves for asylum this week with Bor-

Eventful

der Patrol. Barrios was never separated from her son, but her sister was taken to another part of the facility and hadn’t been heard from since. Barrios and her son were released to the McAllen bus station Friday with an ankle monitor and an order to appear in court. Asked whether she was relieved to be free, Barrios broke down crying. “No because of my sister,” she sobbed. “She was there with me but they separated us.” ICE has only three facilities nationwide — two in Texas, one in Pennsylvania — used to detain immigrant families, and they have a combined 3,300 beds. The one in Dilley, Texas, opened in 2015 on a remote site once an encampment for oil workers. It contains collections of cottages built around playgrounds and common areas, but also has high security. Finding space is not the only hurdle: Under a 1997 court settlement the Trump administration is trying to overturn, children can be held with their parents in detention centers for no more than 20 days. Zenen Jaimes Perez of the Texas Civil Rights Project said immigrant families are still awaiting details from the administration on how parents and children are to be reunited. “It could take a couple of months, a couple of days ... but we don’t have timelines,” Jaimes Perez said. “What we need to hear is what the administration says this process is going to look like, because we don’t know.” The group has been interviewing migrants each morning at the McAllen courthouse and entering information into a database to help keep track of parents and children held in different facilities, sometimes scattered around the country. Olivares said it is difficult for government agencies to reunite immigrant families once they are separated because the systems processing adults and those handling youngsters often don’t communicate with each other.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump tried to cast doubt Friday on wrenching tales of migrant children separated from their families at the border, dismissing “phony stories of sadness and grief” while asserting the real victims of the nation’s immigration crisis are Americans killed by those who cross the border unlawfully. Bombarded with criticism condemning the family-separation situation as a national moment of shame, Trump came back firing, sometimes twisting facts and changing his story but nonetheless highlighting the genuine grief of families on the other side of the equation. “You hear the other side, you never hear this side,” said Trump, standing with a dozen of what he calls the “angel families” who lost loved ones at the hands of people in the country illegally. He focused on the fact young migrants separated from parents are likely to be reunited, unlike the victims of murders. “These are the American citizens permanently separated from their loved ones. The word ‘permanently’ being the word that you have to think about. Permanently — they’re not separated for a day or two days, these are permanently separated because they were killed by criminal illegal aliens.” Amid mushrooming bipartisan concern over depictions of terrified migrant children separated from their parents, Trump

on Wednesday had abruptly reversed course and signed an executive order to overturn the policy, although up to 2,000 children are still believed to be separated from their parents. But that rare moment of public capitulation was brief from the president, who laced his remarks at a rally in Minnesota that night with hardline immigration rhetoric continuing Friday. In a tweet, the president raised questions about whether the migrants’ hardships really existed. “We must maintain a Strong Southern Border,” the president tweeted. “We cannot allow our Country to be overrun by illegal immigrants as the Democrats tell their phony stories of sadness and grief, hoping it will help them in the elections. Obama and others had the same pictures, and did nothing about it!” Trump’s suggestion the stories were erroneous was likely fueled by revelations Friday about one of the defining images to this point in the crisis, a 2-year-old Honduran girl crying as her mother was stopped by a Border Patrol agent. But the girl in the photograph, who ended up on the cover of Time Magazine this week, was not separated from her mother but detained with her, the child’s father told the Daily Mail. Time Magazine said it stood by the image because it captures “the stakes of this moment.” Trump has long chafed at the media’s treatment, his fury only growing in the past week when he felt that he did not receive proper credit for his summit in

Singapore with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. He told the Trinity Broadcasting Network, in an interview with former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee set to air Saturday, that he found the news coverage “almost treasonous.” Some conservatives seized hold of the migrant photo faux pas to attack the media, and White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders tweeted, “It’s shameful that dems and the media exploited this photo of a little girl to push their agenda.” Other Trump allies have gone even further. Ann Coulter, a conservative pundit, said Sunday in an interview on Fox News children at the border were “actor children” who were “given scripts to read by liberals.” Coulter then turned to the camera and said to Trump, “Don’t fall for it.” A number of Democrats aggressively pushed back against Trump’s claims. Rep. Peter Welch of Vermont said Trump’s assertion was “bizarre” and the border patrol processing center he visited in Texas in recent days was “nothing short of a prison.” As part of his defense for his zero tolerance border crossing policy, Trump has frequently pointed to and exaggerated the threat posed by members of the violent gang MS-13 who have entered the United States. In what was likely not a coincidence, the Justice Department on Friday unsealed an indictment charging 11 suspected MS-13 gang members in connection with the killings of two teens in Virginia.

Conservative columnist and pundit, Krauthammer dies after cancer battle By HILLEL ITALIE

Associated Press NEW YORK — Charles Krauthammer, the Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist and pundit who helped shape and occasionally dissented from the conservative movement as he evolved from “Great Society” Democrat to Iraq War cheerleader to denouncer of Donald Trump, has died. He was 68. His Thursday death was announced by two longtime employers, Fox News Channel and The Washington Post. Krauthammer had said publicly a year ago he was being treated for a cancerous tumor in his abdomen and earlier this month revealed he likely had just weeks to live. “I leave this life with no regrets,” Krauthammer wrote in The Washington Post, where his column had run since 1984. “It was a wonderful life — full and complete with the great loves and great endeavors that make it worth living. I am sad to leave, but I leave with the knowledge that I lived the life that I intended.” Sometimes scornful, sometimes reflective, he was awarded a Pulitzer in 1987 for “his witty and insightful” commentary and was an influential voice among Republicans, whether through his syndicated column or his appearances on Fox News Channel. He was most associated with Brit Hume’s nightly newscast and stayed with it when Bret Baier took over in 2009. Krauthammer is credited with coining the term “The Reagan Doctrine” for President Reagan’s policy of aiding anti-Communist movements worldwide. He was a leading advocate for the Iraq War and a prominent critic of President Barack Obama, whom he praised for his “first-class intellect and first-

He was 68. class temperament” and denounced for having a “highly suspect” character. Krauthammer was a former Harvard medical student who graduated even after he was paralyzed from the neck down because of a diving board accident, continuing his studies from his hospital bed. He was a Democrat in his youth and his political engagement dated back to 1976, when he handed out leaflets for Henry Jackson’s unsuccessful presidential campaign. But through the 1980s and beyond, Krauthammer followed a journey akin to such neo-conservative predecessors as Irving Kristol and Norman Podhoretz, turning against his old party on foreign and domestic issues. He aligned with Republicans on everything from confrontation with the Soviet Union to rejection of the “Great Society” programs enacted during the 1960s. “As I became convinced of the practical and theoretical defects of the social-democratic tendencies of my youth, it was but a short distance to a philosophy of restrained, free-market governance that gave more space

and place to the individual and to the civil society that stands between citizen and state,” he wrote in the introduction to “Things That Matter,” a million-selling compilation of his writings published in 2013. For the Post, Time magazine, The New Republic and other publications, Krauthammer wrote on a wide range of subjects, and in “Things That Matter” listed chess, baseball, “the innocence of dogs” and “the cunning of cats” among his passions. As a psychiatrist in the 1970s, he did groundbreaking research on bipolar disorder. He was attacked for his politics and for his predictions. He was so confident of quick success in Iraq he initially labeled the 2003 invasion “The Three Week War” and defended the conflict for years. He also backed the George W. Bush administration’s use of torture as an “uncontrolled experiment” carried out “sometimes clumsily, sometimes cruelly, indeed, sometimes wrongly. But successfully. It kept us safe.” And the former president praised Krauthammer after hearing of his death. “For decades, Charles’

words have strengthened our democracy,” George W. Bush said in a statement. “His work was far-reaching and influential — and while his voice will be deeply missed, his ideas and values will always be a part of our country.” Krauthammer was sure Obama would lose in 2008 because of lingering fears from the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, and foresaw Mitt Romney defeating him in 2012. But he prided himself on his rejection of orthodoxy and took on Republicans, too, observing during a Fox special in 2013 “If you’re going to leave the medical profession because you think you have something to say, you betray your whole life if you don’t say what you think and if you don’t say it honestly and bluntly.” In 2005, he was widely cited as a key factor in convincing Bush to rescind the Supreme Court nomination of the president’s friend and legal adviser Harriet Miers, whom Krauthammer and others said lacked the necessary credentials. And he differed with such Fox commentators as Bill O’Reilly and Laura Ingraham as he found himself among the increasingly isolated “Never Trumpers,” Republicans regarding the real estate baron and former “Apprentice” star as a vulgarian unfit for the presidency. “I used to think Trump was an 11-year-old, an undeveloped schoolyard bully,” he wrote in August 2016, around the time Trump officially became the Republican nominee. “I was off by about 10 years. His needs are more primitive, an infantile hunger for approval and praise, a craving that can never be satisfied. He lives in a cocoon of solipsism where the world outside himself has value — indeed exists — only insofar as it sustains and inflates him.”

New wave of protests depends on masses, not dynamic leader By SHARON COHEN

Associated Press

CHICAGO — The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. marching arm-in-arm with other civil rights activists. Cesar Chavez hoisting a picket sign in a farm workers’ strike. Gloria Steinem rallying other feminists for equal rights. During the 1960s and into the 1970s, amid the turbulence of protests for civil rights and against the Vietnam War, every movement seemed to have a famous face — someone at a podium or at the front of a march who possessed a charismatic style, soaring oratory and an inspiring message. Not so today. The new wave of political activism, marked by protests in the nation’s capital and cities across America, looks more anonymous. Since the presidential election of Donald Trump, there have been marches for women, science, the Dreamers — immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children — and most recently, gun control, a response to the school shooting in Parkland, Florida. In all those events, multitudes of voices, some more high-profile than others, have represented each cause. Have America’s protests changed so they rely more on the masses and less on one captivating leader? The answer, some experts say, is yes, for two reasons: Progressive politics have moved in that direction — think Black Lives Matter, Occupy Wall Street — and social media has radically transformed activism. Decades ago, it could take weeks of planning, newspaper ads, phone trees and a rousing speaker to organize a successful protest. Now a Facebook post or a series of

tweets can fill the streets, jam a state capitol or block an expressway. “With the rise of social media, it’s definitely a lot easier for people to mobilize more quickly and you don’t necessarily need to have one charismatic leader like Dr. King, who had almost some kind of magical quality,” said Rachel Einwohner, a Purdue University sociology professor. “But you still do need some powerful message that really resonates with a lot of people.” Social media also makes it harder for a leader to emerge because it frequently traffics in bruising personal attacks, says Dana R. Fisher, a University of Maryland sociologist who is writing a book “American Resistance” about largescale protests. “I wonder to the degree to which people can lead in the same way in this era of Twitter and Facebook,” she said. “Everybody’s a critic. ... With people trolling and then clashing on social media, it may be harder to create a following in the same way that we saw with these leaders in the past.” Technology alone hasn’t created the shift. Some progressives believe there’s “something inherently wrong or problematic” about having one dynamic person seize the spotlight, said Fabio Rojas, an Indiana University sociology professor. “Modern progressive social movements see themselves as a very democratic form of politics. When they make decisions, they want a lot of consensus. They want a lot of deliberation.” Black Lives Matter, which has been in the forefront of protests against police violence and fatal shootings of black men, is among the many movements adopting this approach.

Rival Koreas agree to August reunions of war-split families By KIM TONG-HYUNG

Associated Press

SEOUL, South Korea — North and South Korea agreed Friday to hold temporary reunions of families divided by the 1950-1953 Korean War as they boost reconciliation efforts amid a diplomatic push to resolve the North Korean nuclear crisis. The reunions will take place at North Korea’s Diamond Mountain resort from Aug. 20 to 26, Seoul’s Unification Ministry said after a nine-hour meeting between Red Cross officials from the two sides. It said the countries will each send 100 participants to the reunions. People with mobility problems will be allowed to bring a relative to help them. Such temporary reunions are highly emotional as most wishing to take part are elderly people who are eager to see their loved ones before they die. The families were driven apart during the turmoil of the war. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in agreed during a summit in April to hold the family reunions about Aug. 15, the

anniversary of the Korean Peninsula’s independence from Japanese colonial rule at the end of World War II in 1945. Friday’s talks between Red Cross officials at the Diamond Mountain resort were to arrange details of the reunions. Kim and Moon met again in May. Their two summits have opened various channels of peace talks between the countries. The rivals recently agreed to restore cross-border military hotline communication channels and field joint teams in some events at the upcoming Asian Games in Indonesia. “If we sternly separate ourselves from the unfortunate past and acquire a strong mindset for the new times, humanitarian cooperation between the North and South will flourish,” North Korea delegate Pak Yong Il said at the start of the meeting. Park Kyungseo, president of South Korea’s Red Cross, expressed hope for talks to “resolve the grief of our nation.” The Koreas last held family reunions in 2015 before relations worsened because of North Korea’s accelerated pursuit of nuclear

long-range missiles and the hard-line response of Seoul’s then-conservative government. Since the end of the Korean War, both Koreas have banned ordinary citizens from visiting relatives on the other side of the border or contacting them without permission. Nearly 20,000 Koreans have participated in 20 rounds of face-to-face temporary reunions held between the countries since 2000. Aside from setting up a new round of reunions, South Korean officials also proposed a survey to confirm surviving members of war-separated families in North Korea and the possibility of hometown visits, but couldn’t reach an agreement with North Korean officials, Park told reporters after the meeting. The limited numbers of reunions are vastly insufficient to meet the demands of aging relatives, who are mostly in their 80s and 90s, South Korean officials say. According to Seoul’s Unification Ministry, more than 75,000 of the 132,000 South Koreans who have applied to attend a reunion have died. None of the past participants has had a second reunion.

Vehicle saleswoman Maram Al-Hazer poses for a photograph inside a Lincoln Continental at the Al-Jazirah Ford showroom in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The lifting of the ban on women driving marks a milestone for women in the kingdom who have had to rely on drivers, male relatives, taxis and ride-hailing services to get to work, go shopping and simply move around.

Saudi women to hit the roads By AYA BATRAWY AND MALAK HARB

Associated Press

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Cradling her four-month-old daughter, Nour Obeid scans the car showroom and heads to the mid-sized SUVs. In the past, a woman looking to buy a car in Saudi Arabia would focus on the features in the back, but Obeid is checking out the driver’s seat, picturing herself doing grocery store runs or school drop-offs. This Sunday, the kingdom will lift the world’s only ban on women driving, a milestone for women who have had to rely on drivers, male relatives, taxis and ride-hailing services to get to work, go shopping and get around. The move could help boost the Saudi economy by ensuring stronger female participation in the workforce, meaning increased household incomes. Car companies also see opportunity in this country of 20 million people, half of them female. Ahead of the ban being lifted, they’ve put Saudi saleswomen on showroom floors and targeted potential new drivers with advertising and social media marketing. Earlier this year, Ford sponsored a driving experience specifically for women in the city of Jiddah. Saudi Arabia is the largest automobile market in the Middle East, with at least 405,000 cars expected to be sold this year. That’s down significantly from a few years ago, and the cost of buying a new car has gone up. Still, car sales are expected to increase between 6 and 10 percent once women start driving, the chairman of the national committee for cars at the Council of Saudi

Chambers told the daily Saudi Gazette. The government recently began allowing women to sell cars as well. Sales jobs had previously been reserved for men in the highly conservative country, where unrelated men and women cannot freely mix. Earlier this month, Saudi Arabia issued its first driver’s licenses to 10 women who already had licenses from other countries. Since then, dozens more have been licensed. None can drive until the ban is officially lifted. The overwhelming majority of women in Saudi Arabia still don’t have licenses. Many haven’t had a chance to take the gender-segregated driving courses first offered to women only a few months ago. There’s also a waitlist of several months for a course at Princess Nora University in Riyadh. And the classes can be costly, running several hundred dollars. Others already own cars driven by chauffeurs and are in no rush to drive themselves. “We were princesses ... We were in a good place. Now we’re going to be in a better place,” said Maram Al-Hazer, a manager at several car showrooms, including Ford, who has two family drivers. “To be honest everyone wants to relax and sit in the backseat and have someone to drive for them.” Though women don’t need a male relative’s approval to get a driver’s license or buy a car, the moral and even financial support of a husband or father is key in this male-dominated society, where men have final say over a woman’s ability to marry, travel abroad or obtain a passport. Nourah Almehaize started selling cars for the first time two months ago, but

had already worked for six years in a call center handling queries about vehicles. She’s eager to learn how to drive so she can testdrive the Ford Explorer and Edge she’s been selling to customers, but her husband is telling her to wait. “He is telling me not to (drive right away), to postpone it for a year until we see what it will be like, but I will apply anyways,” she said. “Currently, I have a driver. After a year, I may not need him if I’ve had enough practice and I’m comfortable.”

OPEC agrees to pump more oil but crude prices jump anyway By KIYOKO METZLER

Associated Press

VIENNA — The countries of the OPEC cartel agreed Friday to pump 1 million barrels more crude oil per day, a move that should help contain the recent rise in global energy prices. Questions remain, however, over the ability of some OPEC nations — Iran and Venezuela in particular — to increase production as they struggle with domestic turmoil and sanctions. Oil prices rose after OPEC’s announcement, which analysts cited as evidence investors believe the actual increase in production will be smaller, about 600,000 to 700,000 barrels a day. After an OPEC meeting in Vienna, Emirati Energy Minister Suhail al-Mazrouei said the cartel decided to fully comply with its existing production ceiling. Because the group had been producing below that level, the move means an increase in production of “a little bit less than 1 million barrels,” the Emirati minister said. How that translates into effective production increases is uncertain, as some OPEC countries cannot easily ramp up production. Iran, for example, has been hit by U.S. sanctions hindering its energy exports. Venezuela’s production has dropped amid domestic political instability. The price of oil jumped after the announcement, with the international benchmark, Brent, gaining 2.5 percent to $74.84 a barrel in London, and U.S. crude climbing 4.9 percent to $68.72 a barrel in afternoon trading in New York — on track for its biggest one-day rise since OPEC agreed in November 2016 to cut production. Al-Mazrouei noted the

Minister of Energy of the United Arab Emirates Suhail Mohamed Al Mazrouei attends a news conference Friday after a meeting of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries at its headquarters in Vienna, Austria. decision “is challenging for those countries struggling with keeping their level of production.” However, he indicated some countries could pick up production if others lag. “We will deal with it collectively,” he said. U.S. shale oil production has helped offset some of OPEC’s cutbacks since 2016. However, operators in the Permian Basin of Texas face a shortage of pipeline capacity, “trapping a fair amount of oil and limiting the availability of that shale increase,” said Jim Rittersbusch, a consultant to oil traders. Still, some analysts believe a combination of the OPEC deal, U.S. oil, and an easing of American demand for energy should eventually contribute to lower oil prices, which in May hit their highest levels in more than three years. “Longer term, this is a bit of a win for consumers,” said Jamie Webster, director of Boston Consulting Group’s Center for Energy Impact. “More oil on the market means relatively lower prices for consumers.”

Friday’s decision means the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries will observe the production level it agreed on in late 2016, when it cut output by 1.2 million barrels a day. In practice, the reduction was even deeper due to production problems. That has since then helped push up the price of oil by almost 50 percent. Non-OPEC countries such as Russia had agreed in 2016 to participate in OPEC’s effort to raise prices, cutting another 600,000 barrels a day of its own production. While OPEC’s largest producer, Saudi Arabia, was open to higher production, Iran has been hesitant because sanctions imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump are making it difficult for the country to export its oil. Trump has been calling publicly for the cartel to help lower prices by producing more. And after OPEC’s deal Friday, Trump tweeted: “Hope OPEC will increase output substantially. Need to keep prices down!”

Brewers dish out 2-1 walk-off loss Milwaukee’s Aguilar belts two HRs, including game-winner in ninth inning By JOE TOTORAITI

MILWAUKEE — Jesus Aguilar homered to break up rookie Jack Flaherty’s no-hit bid in the seventh inning, then homered again in the ninth to lift the Milwaukee Brewers over the St. Louis Cardinals 2-1 on Friday night. Both teams got just three hits. The benches and bullpens briefly cleared in the eighth after Eric Sogard slid into St. Louis shortstop Yairo Munoz, who caught a wide throw on a bunt play in the eighth. Cardinals reliever Bud Norris (3-2) started the ninth by striking out Travis Shaw. Aguilar followed with a drive an opposite-field drive to right for his 16th home run. Corey Knebel (1-0) pitched the ninth for the NL Central leaders. With one out in the seventh, Aguilar drove an 83

He was hired by the school district in 1978, and he hasn’t left since. Even as a college student, he believed in the power of high school athletics, writing a paper about the correlation between participation in sports and improved grades.

“The first thing he’d ask is, ‘What kind of grades does he make and what kind of person is he?’” For the past four decades, Kitchen has put his blood, sweat and tears into his belief in the connection between athletics and education, including coaching baseball and football at the high school and junior high school level for Cape Girardeau schools. As a coach he set the high school’s record for winning percentage in baseball (.769), most district titles and most trips to the final four; as an athletic director he earned the MIAA SEMO District Athletic Director of the Year award in 1996; and his career accomplishments and contributions saw him inducted into the Central High School Athletic Hall of Fame in 2002. In August of 2017, the school year began with the announcement that the outdoor athletic facilities at the junior high school would bear his name. It was an emotional moment for Kitchen at a time when he had plenty of reason to appreciate everything that has come his way. Last summer, Kitchen began suffering stomach

CROMWELL, Conn. — Brian Harman shot a 4-under 66 on Friday to move to 10-under par and watched that hold up for the second-round lead in the Travelers Championship, thanks in part to a 10-second rule. Harman finished a stroke ahead of Matt Jones and first round co-leader Zach Johnson, who lost a stroke during his round of 68 when his birdie putt hung on the lip of the cup at the third hole for longer than the maximum allowed 10 seconds before falling in, giving him a par. “After 10 seconds, the ball was moving and at that point even if the ball is moving, It’s deemed to be at rest, because it’s on the lip,” Johnson said. “Don’t ask me why, but that’s just the way it is.” Harman had his short game working for the second consecutive day, taking 26 putts after needing only 23 during the first round. “The putter has been really good so far, but I’ve been in position a lot,” he said. “I’ve had a lot of good looks at it. I’m just able to put a little pressure on the course right now, which is nice.” Jones hit 16 of 18 greens for the second consecutive day, following up his first round 65 with a 66. Bryson DeChambeau (66), Paul Casey (67) and Russell Henley (65) were two strokes back going into the weekend. Lanto Griffin and twotime Travelers champion Bubba Watson were at even par coming into Friday. But both shot a 63 to move into contention heading into the weekend, three shots behind the leader.

He thinks about some very good junior high football teams he coached, but it’s his best baseball teams that stick out the most, with Central making trips to state in 1980, 1986, 1988 and 1991. “We kind of established a tradition that when you put on the orange, black and white, you better be ready to play,” Kitchen says. “It was kind of like you didn’t have a choice to say, ‘Hey, we hope we’re good.’ We didn’t live off the word ‘hope.’ We lived off the word ‘expectation.’” He still has a few regrets — a few decisions that didn’t go the Tigers’ way — including in that 1991 season, when he rolled the dice in the semifinal and had his team pitch to one of the opponent’s best hitters rather than pitch around him, and watched the ball sail into the outfield for the game-winning sacrifice fly. He takes a journey through those memories, then comes back with another: his 1986 team that didn’t make the list of final four teams, but which he believes was as good as any of them, winning its first 21 games before losing to rival Sikeston in the district tournament.

ROGERS, Ark. — Former Arkansas star Gaby Lopez shot a career-low 8-under 63 on Friday to take the firstround lead in the NW Arkansas Championship. Lopez, a three-time All-American for the Razorbacks, matched her career best by finishing at 8 under — doing so after missing the cut in her last two tournaments. The Mexican player began the tournament at Pinnacle Country Club ranked 136th in the world but finished just two shots off the course record of 10. Moriya Jutanugarn was a stroke back along with Minjee Lee, Catriona Matthew, Nasa Hataoka, Lizette Salas, Mirim Lee and Aditi Ashok. — From wire reports

But mostly his memories are overwhelmingly positive, and often didn’t even happen on a field. Like pep rallies. “My gosh, did we have some times,” Kitchen says. “You talk about getting a crowd fired up and getting happy. I have some times there I won’t forget. “I must admit, I love Cape Central. I got what I wanted in life — to be a member of Cape Girardeau public schools. I’m gonna go and keep going ’til I can’t go anymore. I’ll keep going until they say, ‘Fella, get out, we don’t want you anymore.’” As he busies himself during the summer as caretaker of the facilities that have lent so much joy to his life, he sees no reason to stop now. His is, after all, a lifetime commitment. “I’m not planning on changing anything,” Kitchen says. “I feel good. I’m mowing grass at the school right now. I feel good. I know there have been other teachers and coaches that went longer than me. I’m going to hang in and keep going, and if a time comes I don’t think I can meet my expectations, then I’ll stop. But right now I plan to keep going and do the best job I can representing Cape public schools.”

Drivers learning to turn right with increased emphasis on road-racing skills By GREG BEACHAM

Nigeria’s Ahmed Musa sends a shot past Iceland’s Sverrir Ingason to score his side’s second goal during the Group D match between Nigeria and Iceland on Friday at the 2018 World Cup in Volgograd, Russia.

SOCCER | WORLD CUP

Nigeria defeats Iceland 2-0, provides hope for Argentina Associated Press VOLGOGRAD, Russia — Ahmed Musa gave Nigeria its first win at this year’s World Cup, and gave Argentina a gift. Musa scored two second-half goals to help the Nigerians beat Iceland 2-0 Friday and move into second place in the group behind already-qualified Croatia. Nigeria will face Argentina in its final group match on Tuesday in St. Petersburg. If Nigeria wins, it will advance to the round of 16. But if Argentina claims all three points, it can still advance depending on the result of the other match between Croatia and Iceland. Musa, Nigeria’s all-time leading World Cup scorer with four goals, gave his country the lead in the 49th minute after Victor Moses sprinted deep into the Iceland half and curled a cross to the near post. Musa deftly controlled the ball before slamming it past Iceland goalkeeper Hannes Halldorsson on the half-volley. Nigeria nearly doubled its

Coutinho poked the ball past goalkeeper Keylor Navas in the first minute of injury time, and Neymar volleyed in another with virtually the last kick of the game six minutes later. Neymar then broke down in tears and sobbed for several moments. His teammates helped him off the ground to celebrate. It had looked like Brazil, after drawing its opening game 1-1 with Switzerland, was heading for another stalemate. Brazil attacked relentlessly in the second half and was awarded a penalty in the 78th when Neymar was impeded as he cut inside defender Giancarlo Gonzalez. But referee Bjorn Kuipers went over to look at the sideline monitor and reversed the decision. Brazil has four points heading into its final group game against Serbia on Wednesday.

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia — Philippe Coutinho and Neymar scored injury-time goals to help Brazil beat Costa Rica.

KALININGRAD, Russia — Granit Xhaka and Xherdan Shaqiri scored in Switzerland’s victory over Serbia on Friday and both celebrated by making a nationalist

symbol to their ethnic Albanian heritage. In the tournament’s first come-from-behind victory, Xhaka made it 1-1 in the 52nd minute with a powerful shot through a crowded penalty. Shaqiri added the other in injury time after running past the Serbian defense. Both put their open hands together with their thumbs locked and fingers outstretched to make what looks like the double-headed eagle displayed on Albania’s national flag. The thumbs represent the heads of the two eagles, while the fingers look like the feathers. The gesture is likely to inflame tensions among Serb nationalists and ethnic Albanians. Shaqiri was born in Kosovo, the former Serbian province that declared independence in 2008. Serbia doesn’t recognize Kosovo’s independence and relations between the two countries remain tense. Xhaka’s parents are originally from Kosovo and they are of Albanian heritage. Aleksandar Mitrovic scored for Serbia with a header in the fifth minute.

lead on several occasions, but Musa made it happen in the 75th minute. He picked up the ball on the left side of the Iceland penalty area, mazed his way past Halldorsson and picked his spot in the Iceland goal. “I have to thank my teammates and the coach who believed in me,” Musa said. “We have to focus on the last game because that’s more important than today’s win.” Iceland had a chance to get one back but Gylfi Sigurdsson sent a penalty kick way over the Nigeria bar in the 83rd minute. Croatia can be joined by any of the other three teams in Group D in the round of 16. Iceland can qualify if it beats Croatia in Rostov-onDon on Tuesday in a match that takes place at the same time as the game between Nigeria and Argentina.

SONOMA, Calif. — As a born-and-bred Northern Californian, Kyle Larson is quite familiar with the numerous twists and 11 turns on the vaunted Sonoma Raceway road course. That doesn’t make him much better at navigating them in a stock car. “Turn 1 up through the hill, all the way basically through Turn 4, I’m really good,” the Chip Ganassi Racing driver said Friday. “Off of Turn 4, I struggle. (Turn) 7, I struggle. (Turn) 11, I struggle. Clint (Bowyer) is trying to teach me a little throttle control. That is where I lack. And then the S’s, I’m decent at. And then Turn 11, I kind of (stink) again. Any corner where you have to slow down and speed back up, I tend to struggle at, so I’ve got to get better at that.” Larson isn’t alone. Road course racing skills — such as the ability to turn right —– are becoming more important in NASCAR. The circuit has three non-oval tracks on its schedule this season for the first time in 31 years, and many drivers would like to see more in the future. “It’s fun to get to do something totally different than (how) I grew up racing,” Larson said. “A pavement oval is totally different than what I grew up doing, but a road course is way opposite. I enjoy it. I feel like I get better and better at it.” The challenge begins in wine country this weekend on the tight, technical road track that has bedeviled many NASCAR drivers over the years. After the annual stop at Watkins Glen’s longer, faster road course in August, the drivers must figure out Charlotte Motor Speedway’s new hybrid track dubbed the “roval” — a road course connected to its traditional oval — at a playoff race in September. Kevin Harvick noted that as recently as 10 years ago, many NASCAR drivers and fans didn’t enjoy racing on road courses. These days, he says, most drivers relish the chance to test the full measure of their abilities. More turns lead to more strategic possibilities for the teams, along with more wear on their tires and brakes. Two-wide restarts can be pandemonium on the tight Sonoma track. It all adds up to a good chance Sunday for exciting racing, which is what everybody needs. “I think driver means more than car at this particular race track,” Denny Hamlin said. “The driver has so many inputs, from the wheel to the brake, clutch and gas and everything. We’re doing so much within the lap. Different drivers’ techniques come to the forefront, and that’s why you see the winners here have really been the best of the best.” NASCAR is inextricably linked with oval racing, but the occasional monotony of the action can turn off casual racing fans, particularly on television. Road courses put a spotlight on

NASCAR driver Kyle Larson signs autographs after practice for the NASCAR Cup Series race earlier this month in Brooklyn, Michigan. the full measure of their driving skill — or sometimes the lack thereof. Bowyer, who won at Sonoma in 2012 and finished second last year, has grown to love the challenges of the sharp corners, changing elevation and cramped racing in Sonoma. “It is an acquired taste, just like the wine right down the street,” Bowyer said with a laugh. “This place is a beast, and so is that wine the first time you try it. It’s like, ‘Damn, I don’t know about all this.’ Next thing you know, you’re a little longer in the tooth, and you’re like, ‘Hey, let’s go get some wine!’ You have to be able to have fun on this racetrack. It is a challenge. Each and every corner is different. There is no perfect setup or perfect line.” Certain NASCAR drivers over the years have showed significantly superior technical acumen on road courses. Jeff Gordon, who grew up just down the road in Vallejo, won five times at Sonoma Raceway and four times at Watkins Glen, while Tony Stewart won eight times on the two tracks. Among active drivers, Bowyer and Kurt Busch have posted the most consistent top-five finishes on road courses, while Harvick has won once on each track. NASCAR teams have had an ambivalent relationship with road races for decades. Many teams frequently employed road course ringers such as Dan Gurney or Boris Said — drivers from outside the circuit hired to drive specifically on non-ovals. The practice declined and disappeared in the early 21st century due to the importance of driver points in the overall Chase, forcing the regular drivers to improve their skills on the road courses. And when they don’t have track experience, they get it elsewhere: William Byron, Hendrick Motorsports’ 20-year-old rookie driver, did six hours of simulator sessions this week to prepare himself for the Sonoma experience. No matter their personal track record in Sonoma, it’s tough to find a driver who doesn’t enjoy the chance to do something different. “I think it is a good product for our sport,” Bowyer said. “I think we could do that at Road America (in Wisconsin) or Road Atlanta. ... I would like to see our sport go to some other venues and race in front of some new faces.”

Arkansas reaches CWS finals Associated Press OMAHA, Neb. — Isaiah Campbell limited Florida to two hits over 5 1/3 innings, Arkansas scored four times in five innings against firstround draft pick Brady Singer, and the Razorbacks earned a spot in the College World Series finals with a 5-2 win over the defending champion Gators on Friday night. Campbell more than atoned for his worst performance of the season when he faced the Gators in the teams’ Southeastern Conference opening series in March. He was at his best this time, matching his career high with eight strikeouts and leaving with a 5-2 lead. Arkansas (47-19) has never gone to the CWS finals since the NCAA Tournament went to its current structure in 1999. The Razorbacks were runner-up in 1979 in their only appearance in a championship game. Florida (49-21), the No. 1 overall seed, lost for the first time in eight NCAA elimination games. The Gators were looking to get to the finals for the second straight year and fourth time since 2005. Casey Martin went 4-for-5 and Dominic Fletcher homered for the second straight game to lead the Razorbacks’ offense against Singer (12-3) and Tommy Mace. The Gators managed only three hits against Campbell (5-6). Singer, the No. 18 overall draft pick by the Kansas City Royals, took both of Florida’s losses in the CWS and was beaten for the second time this season by Arkansas. Martin’s double and Fletcher’s 10th home run of the season preceded Singer’s departure in the fifth. The four earned

Oregon State 12, Mississippi St. 2

It has been decades since an offense at the College World Series has been as prolific as Oregon State’s. The good times — and the runs — kept rolling for the Beavers in a win over Mississippi State. Oregon State used a five-run second inning to build a big lead, batted around twice and never were threatened thanks to Brandon Eisert’s season-long 5 1/3 innings of one-hit shutout relief. Oregon State joined 1995 Cal State Fullerton as the only teams in CWS history to score 11 or more runs in three con-

secutive games. The Beavers’ 43 runs is the highest total by a team through four games since 2001. The Beavers (51-11-1) have staved off elimination three times since losing their CWS opener to North Carolina last Saturday. They beat Washington, North Carolina and now Mississippi State. Another win over the Bulldogs (39-18) on Saturday would send Oregon State to the best-of-three CWS finals for the first time since 2007. The Bulldogs, trying to return to the CWS finals for the first time since 2013, are not in unfamiliar territory. They were down to their last strike in regionals before beating Florida State in a win-or-gohome game, and this will be the sixth time in 11 games they’ll be playing to fight off elimination.

Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty throws to a Brewers batter during the seventh inning Friday in Milwaukee. Flaherty had a no-hitter through six innings.

Cardinals From Page 1B as Aguilar connected. Flaherty matched a career high by striking out 13 in seven innings, allowing just one hit. The Cardinals played stellar defense behind him after giving up six unearned runs with a season-high four errors in Thursday’s 11-3 loss to Milwaukee. Munoz robbed Jonathan Villar of a base hit in the fifth with a nice running backhand stab of a liner tailing away from him. Matt Carpenter walked, advanced on a sacrifice by Harrison Bader and scored on Marcell Ozuna’s liner up the middle in the third. Brewers starter Junior Guerra allowed one run and three hits with four walks and seven strikeouts in five-plus innings.

Trainer’s room Cardinals: INF Paul DeJong (left hand fracture) took batting practice and is anxious to return. Brewers: LF Ryan Braun missed his second consecutive game after receiving a cryotherapy injection in his troublesome right thumb Wednesday in Los Angeles. . LHP Wade Miley (right oblique strain) made a rehab start for Double-A Biloxi. He went two innings and allowed a run on three hits and struck out three.

Two WWII veterans remember their service while on board a bomber at the Cape Girardeau Regional Airport

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN

World War II veterans Lester Harris, front left, and Robert Duckworth, front right, pose for a photo with B-25J Mitchell Bomber flight crew members Diana LeSueur and Bob Taylor after flying on the warplane.

Flight crew members and Missouri Veterans Home staff members help 101-year-old World War II veteran Robert Duckworth climb into “Maid in the Shade.”

As two 14-cylinder radials roared outside, World War II veterans Robert Duckworth and Lester Harris sat onboard “Maid in the Shade” with surpisingly harmonious attitudes of quiet tranquility. Duckworth, age 101, and Harris, age 91, scaled the ladder leading into the belly of the 21,000-pound plane with excited agility as if they traveled decades back in time to their youthful days of service. Introduced in 1941 and nearly 53-feet long, the “Maid in the Shade” B-25 warplane dominated the skies with its 67.5-foot wingspan. Stocked with 11 machine guns and one of only 34 World War II aircraft of its type still flying, the “Maid in the Shade” gained notoriety as one of the most versatile aircraft of World War II, capable of high- and low-level bombing, strafing, reconnaissance, submarine patrol and dogfighting. While the remaining group of about 20 other Missouri Veterans Home residents watched from the shade of a nearby hangar, Duckworth and Harris gazed out the windows of the bomber with wide-eyed wonder as the all-metal monster climbed away from the runway at Cape Girardeau Regional Airport, drawing fearless chuckles from the decorated duo with each occasional bang from the bomber’s twin 1,700-horsepower engines. During the war, the two men served in separate branches of the military, but an unshakable, unspoken bond of battle-readiness tied them together. Duckworth worked as a mechanic with the Army from 1943 to 1945, and Harris served in the 5th Air Force from 1945 to 1946 keeping planes stocked with gasoline. Upkeep on the aircraft is now handled by the Arizona Commemorative Air Force Museum, which sends its fleet of seven World War II era planes to be shown across the country in the Flying Legends of Victory Tour. For these two veterans, “Maid in the Shade” showed a slice of history from an era of wartime which will likely never be seen again — a time before modern unmanned aircrafts, when an engine’s scream sounded as a mechanized battle cry unlike any other bird in the sky. bmatthews@semissourian.com (573) 388-3652

The Junk Bug

ou can’t really see the Junk Bug as it crawls around. You see what looks like a little collection of trash that moves about. I saw a Junk Bug for the first time as a small boy and was fascinated by

it. I remember calling it a haystack bug because it looked like a little walking haystack. In reality this is the larvae of the flying lacewing insect. The larvae capture tiny soft-bodied insects such

as aphids. It eats the insides of its captives and glues their skeletons onto its back. Other small debris may also be stuck to Junk Bug. This junk acts as camouflage against predatory birds, lizards and larger insects.

can get some blossom set or blossom end rot preventative at most garden stores. I buy some Calcium nitrate, a commercial type of fertilizer, and add it to my watering system when the plants start setting tomatoes. Blossom set or blossom end rot preventative aren’t that expensive so I’d add it every time you fertilize. I try to fertilize a little every week. One of the trickiest tasks in the garden is knowing when to water and how much. Plants will suffer if they are watered too much but they will also suffer if they are not watered enough. Watch your plants. Many times they will let you know when they need a drink of water. I was checking some of my cucumber plants last week and noticed some of the leaves were dropping. They weren’t wilted but just drooping. The ground wasn’t dry necessarily but they needed a drink of water on a hot June day. After a little time the added moisture had them revitalized. The cool water around the roots had cooled them down as well. Stick your finger down in the soil and check out the moisture level. Mulch around your garden plants when you can. Not only does it help with moisture but I also think it helps keep the plants cooler. Every two or three years I have my soil tested. This will let you know how much fertilizer or lime to add to soup up your soil. The best time to have your soil tested in my opinion is in the Fall. Once you know how your soil tests you can add the lime that fall. This will give the lime time to work

through the soil and it’ll be ready in the Spring. Wait till spring to add your fertilizer. I do one thing different then some. I mark off my row and then fertilize just the row and not the ground between the rows. I scatter the fertilizer about two feet wide the length of the row so I know how many square feet which will tell me how much fertilizer that particular row needs. Your soil test report will say how much fertilizer you need per 1,000 square feet. I usually add some 12-12-12 or triple 13 or 13-13-13. Nitrogen is the only one you want to be careful with. Most plants if given too much nitrogen will have awesome tops but that’s about all. Many plants need fertilizer throughout the summer. Tomatoes need a regular dose of a balanced fertilizer. Not too much though. I believe onions need balanced fertilizer but also a shot of nitrogen every couple weeks. Most everyone I know side dresses their sweet corn when it’s just under knee high. Dig a shallow trench along the side of the corn and scatter a little nitrogen in this trench. Cover and water in. Miracle Grow is a good product or one of the look a likes. They are cheaper and will do a good job as well. I think one of the keys to gardening is don’t get real radical about anything or get in a hurry. Don’t go to extremes in watering or fertilizing or mulching or tilling or even planting too much garden. Be sure to keep your gardening enjoyable. Hope you are having a great growing season and picking a bunch of veggies.

Celebrating Father’s Day

We hope all our dads had a great Father’s Day. The Whitaker men, Ron, Steve and Bret, traveled to St. Louis to watch the Cardinals shut out the Chicago Cubs 5-0, arriving back home at 1 a.m. Monday morning. One family spent a hot day at the St. Louis Zoo. Lots of folks are on vacation and several Chaffee High classes have planned reunions this summer.

Caring for your garden M

ost of the time I keep a watchful eye on the tomatoes in our high tunnels. I was checking them last year when I discovered some of the big tomato worms had a feast on the plants. They had stripped all the leaves from the top branches on several of the tomato plants. Marge and I both went to hunting the big green caterpillar worms. Boy they are hard to find. But little by little we found a good number of the worms. The very next day I sprayed all the tomato plants in the high tunnels with BT which is a great

pesticide for worms. Most places will have BT in Dipel Dust. You can spray it on as a liquid or you can dust it on. Really safe. Google “BT pesticide” or ask for it at your garden center. Last year I added a date in my phone as to when the worms showed up which was mid June. So this year I sprayed all my tomato plants about the first of June with BT. After that I plan on spraying the tomato plants with BT every 10 days or so all summer. Once I knew about when they showed up last year I could

figure they’d do the same this year. Pretty much the same with squash bugs. I can figure on squash bugs showing up on my zucchini right after I pick my first zucchini. It’s like they know when to show up and kill my zucchini plants. They do the same with my cucumber plants. They show up when my cucumbers really start cranking out the cucumbers. There are probably chemicals to kill squash bugs but I hesitate using therm. So I plant a good number of

zucchini so that if they kill a dozen or so plants I still will have a few left. Same with cucumbers. But I do start some more plants that I can transplant once the first bunch has kicked the bucket. I try to get the zucchini blooming before I set it out. That way I won’t have to wait long before I can pick a zucchini. Another problem that most tomato growers will experience is blossom end rot. Your tomatoes will develop a black spot on the opposite end from the stem. The tomato will look good but the black end just ruins the tomato. Blossom end rot is caused by a lack of calcium. When we get too much rain or we water too much it causes the calcium to leach from the soil. Treating the symptoms will work but not nearly as well as being in a preventive mode. When the tomatoes start forming on the vines water in some calcium. You

High-rise dormitories begin at SEMO State From the April 24, 1964, edition of the Southeast Missourian:

Regents Approve Building Proposal

he State College Board of Regents Thursday gave its approval to the general scheme and plan for a new 40-room, $1,150,000 classroom building on Pacific street and to a multi-story approach for new dormitory construction in the Home of the Birds. President Mark F. Scully said the classroom building, to be erected with funds appropriated by the Legislature, may be ready for bids by fall. The plans call for a classroom wing to front on Pa-

cific street southward from Normal, with an extension down Watkins drive. A 500seat theater that will serve as a workshop for theater classes, for lectures and for general purposes will extend eastward. The college has acquired a portion of the property on the site and is in the process of obtaining the remainder. A debate over relative merits of multi-story or high-rise dormitory construction vs. buildings of lesser height was decided in favor of the former. The architect had preferred two six-story dormitories spread over a wider area, while the Campus Planning Committee advocated higher buildings, believing the lower ones did not fit the ravine site in the Home

of the Birds. Jack Swing, a practicing architect in Champaign, Illinois, and member of the architecture faculty at the University of Illinois, was selected as arbiter and the high-rise approach was adopted. The two dormitories will be 12 stories in height and will house a total of 788 students, 394 in each. The dormitories will be centered on a third building, a dining-social center which also will serve two more 12-story dormitories that can be erected in the same area in the future. Funds for the work will come from a long-term loan from the Federal Housing and Home Finance Agency. Authorization has been given for $3,000,000 for the construction program.

The life of Major James Francis Brooks

small, yellowed photograph that came to me through the late Katherine Cochran provides an image of Maj. James Francis Brooks, a man I had heard of, but had never seen before. He is pictured seated at

an outdoors table playing cards at the hotel at the Schumer Springs health resort near Biehle, Missouri. Brooks would have been 76 when this photo was made in July 1920. (The original, un-cropped image was featured in last week’s blog

about Schumer Springs.) Save for his obituary, the Missourian files contain surprisingly little about the life of this prominent civil engineer, who helped Louis Houck lay out his railroad empire. Born on a steamboat on the Missouri River

COURTESY OF THE CITY OF CAPE GIRARDEAU ~ Southeast Missourian archives

on Nov. 5, 1843, he was the son of James and Margaret Davis Brooks. His family resided in Platte County for a time, and he received his engineering education at Vinyard’s College near Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. He served in the paymaster’s office in Jefferson City during the Civil War. It wasn’t until after the war that Brooks came to Cape Girardeau County.

he book of Jeremiah, found in the Old Testament, speaks to people who are in a hopeless situation. Their cities destroyed. Many people have been carried off by the invading army only to find themselves living in a place they didn’t like, surrounded by strange smells, odd foods, and people who were vastly different than they. Desperately wanting to go back home. Jeremiah writes a letter to his people telling them to settle in because they are going to be there for a long time. While they are settling, they need to “Pursue the well-being of the city I have deported you to. Pray to the Lord on its behalf, for when it thrives, you will thrive” (Jeremiah 29:7, CSB). There are three principles from this verse today. First, decide to do something. People of faith should never find themselves in the position waiting for someone else to do something. Doing nothing opens the door for evil to triumph. God tells a people who are in a place they don’t want to be,

Morgue From Page 6C He settled in Jackson, and there met Florence Adele Turnbaugh, the daughter of hotel owners John J. and Nancy A. Morrison Turnbaugh. They married in 1875. Two years later, the couple built a home on First East Street. In 1892, the family moved from Jackson to a new residence at 1451 Broadway in Cape Girardeau. Along with the Brooks obituary published the day he died, on July 13, 1927, the Missourian also printed a story in 1939, when his Broadway home was razed. Published July 13, 1927:

Major Brooks, pioneer civil engineer, dies

Shock From Fall Fatal to Man Who Laid Out Many Missouri Railroads. Major James Francis Brooks, 83 years old, a pioneer civil engineer who laid out much of the present network of railroads in Southeast Missouri and one of the founders of the original telephone system in Cape Girardeau, died at his home at 1451 Broadway at 3 a.m. today. Shock resulting form a fall from a chair on the front porch of his home a week ago, in which he sustained a fractured hip, with the general infirmities of his advanced age, caused his death. He became delirious a short time after the accident and, due to his extreme age, his condition had been serious for several days. He had previously enjoyed excellent health, except for minor maladies, and up to the time of his demise had full control of his faculties and maintained the great interest in the events of the day as had always been his custom. Worked With Houck While associated with the Late Louis Houck in the building of railroads in this section, Major Brooks surveyed what is now the main Frisco railroad line from St. Mary’s to Cape Girardeau. He also had charge of the laying out of the Houck lines from Cape Girardeau to other Southeast Missouri points, including that now known as the Gulf branch and other sections now owned and operated by the Frisco railroad. He also laid out and aided in the construction of the

present Cape Girardeau Northern railway, running from here to Jackson, Perryville and the Saline valley section to Farmington. With a number of other pioneer Girardeans, he was instrumental in the establishment of the present Cape Girardeau Telephone Company and was its chief engineer when the present system was laid out. Was Constant Student The exchange and system were founded in 1897 by Major Brooks and others, including John Tlapek, Henry Rozier, A.R. Ponder and Leon Albert, and its completion was the result of his dream for years. He maintained his interest in the telephone company and at the time of his death was one of the directors and a heavy stockholder in the company. Despite his retirement from active work 14 years ago, he has maintained his interest in his profession and in all scientific developments, and was a constant student, familiar with the rapid strides that science has made in the past several years. Major Brooks was born on a steamer on the Missouri River on Nov. 5, 1843 while his parents were en route to Platte County, then known as the Platte Purchase. He was the son of James and Margaret Davis Brooks and his family was of the same ancestry as that of Daniel Boone and Kit Carson, a fact of which he was very proud. His parents were pioneer settlers in Missouri, migrating to this state from Maryland. Attended College He lived with his parents in his early life near Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and while there attended Vinyard’s College near the fort, an institution also attended by the children of the officers attached to the fort. During the Civil War he was attached to the paymaster’s office at Jefferson City, and after the close of the fighting while engaged in writing commissions for the promotion of other officers, was instructed to write his own commission as a major. He demurred and Governor (T.C.) Fletcher wrote the commission with his own hand. This commission was a source of pride to Major Brooks and one that he always cherished. Major Brooks came to Cape Girardeau County in 1870, realizing at that time that a great future lay

Not just singing, but singing with a choir. The connection of being with and being in sync with others has tremendous benefit for your overall health. We need to surround ourselves with others who we can synchronize. You can feel lonely, but you don’t have to be alone. Finally, do what you can, however you can for the betterment of where you are. Jeremiah promises that in the cities’ well-being you will find your well-being. We can either be consumers, or contributors to our communities. We can take what we want and discard the rest. Or, we can contribute to what is right and causes good to all of our neighbors. Be about something, with other people for the good of where you are. An antidote to bitterness is working towards betterment.

before this then sparsely settled section. He engaged in his profession at Jackson until 1892, when he moved to Cape Girardeau and erected the present impressive brick building on West Broadway, where he lived and passed away. Married in 1875 He was married in 1875 at Jackson to Miss Florence Adele Turnbaugh, a member of another pioneer family in this county. He is survived by his widow, five daughters, who are: Mrs. Z.D. Kinkead of Webster Groves, and Mrs. A.J. Siebert, Mrs. A.C. Vasterling, Mrs. Charles G. Wilson and Mrs. C.E. Stiver, all of Cape Girardeau; and one son, Philip Lee, of Cape Girardeau. Another son, Dr. J. Frank Brooks, who had lived at Clarkton, died last July. Funeral services will be held from the family home on West Broadway, Thursday afternoon at 9 o’clock. Rev. J. Pendleton Scruggs, pastor of First Baptist Church, will conduct the services. Interment will be in Lorimier Cemetery. Had Wide Acquaintance Major Brooks enjoyed the acquaintance and respect of hundreds, not only in Cape Girardeau, but in the surrounding communities, through friendships he made during his years of work. He was also intensely interested in community affairs and kept informed on all modern problems. He was a careful student and a constant reader, especially of scientific works and the better class fiction. He kept astride with the development of science through his intensive reading and his library is considered one of the finest in the entire country. From youth, he was a lover of nature and especially was he fond of trees. When he laid out his home here, he paid particular attention to the trees and practically all of them ow remain, a silent tribute to his careful attention. His home, sitting back from the street, is one of the picturesque spots of the city. He was always kindly in word and manner and made friends wherever he went. His devotion to his family was marked and he preferred the seclusion of his home, with his books as his entertainment, to the more modern forms of amusement.

Unexpected storms and faith O

nce when I was a youth minister, I had taken a group of 20 students on a wilderness backpacking trip in the Rocky Mountains. On our second day of hiking, the plan was to have the students spend four hours in solitary silence. I prayed for the students and sent them on their way. I made myself comfortable and settled in for my own elongated time of silent contemplation. However, after only 15 minutes, I watched as massive, charcoal storm clouds rolled into our valley. I realized that we were about to be surprised with a powerful rainstorm. I broke the time of silence by yelling and blowing my whistle. All of the students gathered to me and we got huddled in our tents to ride out the downpour. Storms can be like that, can’t they? The skies can be clear, you can have a plan in place, and, in a matter of moments, there are dark, foreboding clouds on the horizon hurtling towards you. It’s true of physical storms and it’s true of metaphorical storms. In Mark 4:35-41, we read a story of the disciples and Jesus setting out in a boat on the sea of Galilee. At first their trip seems calm and relaxing; so much so, in fact, that Jesus falls asleep in the boat. However,

No place like home Covering a community is more than following crime and controversy. It’s about telling the stories of people who make your hometown special. The Southeast Missourian is your local news source.

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.

as storm are wont to do, a gale begins to rise. Violent winds and harsh rains began to toss the boat to and fro. The disciples panic, but Jesus continues to peacefully doze. The frightened apostles shake Jesus awake. He wipes the sleep from his eyes and realizes what is happening. Jesus stands up and says to the storm, “Shut up!” Our English translations of this passage make it sound much more polite (“Peace. Be Still.”),

but the Greek tells us that Jesus harshly rebukes the storm. Jesus then turns to the disciples and says, “Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith?” (Mark 4:40). What storms are you facing in your life? Have you experienced the sudden appearance of frightening, dark clouds of depression, addiction, abuse, or any other myriad of seasons of life that can arrive unexpectedly to wreck us and our plans? Faith does not mean that we will not face the storms of life; the gospel is not about being healthy and wealthy. We will face trials, we will face hurt, and we will face unforeseen squalls. The gospel is about where we turn in the midst of those storms. For people of faith, we are invited to join the disciples. Yes, Jesus chastises them for having little faith, but in the midst of the storm, they turned to him. They turned to Jesus Christ because they knew that he could do something about this chaos around them. N.T. Wright says it well: “That’s Mark’s invitation to all of us: OK, go on, wake Jesus up, pray to him in your fear and anger. And don’t be surprised when he turns to you, as the storm subsides in the background, and asks when you’re going to get some real faith.”

LEISURE & PUZZLES DEAR ABBY

Woman is put in the middle of an affair among friends Dear Abby: I have two friends I am equally close to, “Jane” and “Mary.” We live in the same eanne neighborhillips hood. They are both married, live across the street from each other and spend time together almost every day. Their children play together. I spend a lot of time with both families, and my children play with theirs. Jane is having an affair with Mary’s husband and has confided in me about every detail. She keeps telling me it’s over, and then I find out it isn’t. I spoke to Mary’s husband and told him if it doesn’t stop, I’ll tell Mary. (Jane doesn’t know I talked to him.) They recently had another “weak moment.” Should I tell Mary what’s

J P

going on? Her husband has cheated in the past, and she chose to stay with him. I’m afraid the fallout from her finding out will be two broken marriages and several broken friendships. It’s very difficult to spend time with any/ all of them knowing what I know. I feel like my silence is betraying Mary. Help! Wish I Didn’t Know Dear Wish: You are already more involved in this than you should be, and Jane should not have placed you in that position. Mary knows she has a philandering husband but chose to remain with him. I vote for keeping your lip zipped and trying to stay out of the line of fire. Dear Abby: My husband and I have been married for 38 years. We divorced once, but remarried. We have four grown sons and six grandchildren. He retired a year and a half ago, and I went

through menopause. There has been constant contention since. He wants to fight over everything and won’t speak to me for days, sometimes weeks, at a time. I feel I am being emotionally abused. When I asked him for another divorce, he told me not to be ridiculous. Four months ago, I moved out and moved in with my dad to be his caretaker. Dad is 95 and on home hospice. I am so much happier not living with my husband. When my father passes away, I dread having to move back with my husband. I know we probably need counseling, but he doesn’t agree. I want to live a happy, peaceful life. My husband seems to enjoy the constant fighting. Should I get my own place and live apart from my husband when my dad passes? Unhappily Married in Utah

Dear Unhappily Married: Your husband’s silent treatment qualifies as emotional abuse. You do NOT have to tolerate it. Before making plans about where you will live after your father’s passing, discuss this with a lawyer. Marriage isn’t slavery, and you do not need your abuser’s “permission” to divorce him (again).

SUDOKU Fill in the sudoku grid so that every row, every column and every region contains the digits 1 through 9. Each row, column and region must contain only one instance of each numeral.

Dear Abby: I am suddenly encountering workplace hostility from someone I thought was my friend. I’m not sure if I did something to offend this person or if there is some other reason. What can I do to get to the bottom of this? Uncomfortable in Texas Dear Uncomfortable: It says in the Bible, “Seek and you shall find.” In your case, it means ASK the person what’s going on and why there has been a change in attitude. That’s the quickest way to learn the reason.
