Cape County looking at website redesign BY JEFF LONG

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN Cape Girardeau Countyí s web pages, hosted at cape≠ county.us, will soon be get≠ ting a new look. Commissioners Charlie Herbst and Paul Koeper said Thursday Æ ve bids were received by a July 30 deadline to redesign the website because the plat≠ form used by the current web vendor is being termi≠ nated. Herbst said the coun≠ ty has known since last year of the discontinuation, so money is in the current in≠ formation technology bud≠ get to cover the expense. Cape Girardeau County launched its current web≠ site in 2010. The countyí s IT depart≠ ment will review the bids and Herbst expects a recom≠ mendation for commission action later this month. No

dollar amounts were made available from the bidding process. The bidders for the work are Civic Engage, Rannsolve Incorporated, Rooted Web, B&B Media and Revize.

Emergency jail request

Commissioners approved a quote for $2,069.25 allow≠ ing the county jail to repair a ì secure doorî at the re≠ quest of Sheriff Ruth Ann Dickerson. ì Due to the nature of the (jail) environment, the quote was approved to allow the sheriff to proceed with≠ out delay and (to) dispense with the routine procure≠ ment process,î Herbst told the Southeast Missourian. The vendor, MHS Enter≠ prises LLC, has performed similar work in the jail and is familiar with the equip≠ ment and environment there, Herbst added.

Saint Louis University political scientist Ken War≠ ren said members of Con≠ gress generally lack name recognition beyond their own districts, and thatí s an obstacle both Long and Hartzler would have to overcome. But he noted an endorsement from Trump, who remains popular in Missouri, would be a big boost. ì That would help a lot if he (Trump) gets behind only one person,î Warren said. ì But Trumpí s en≠ dorsement does not mean the candidateí s going to have an automatic win.î Lesser≠ known Democrat≠ ic contenders include Ma≠ rine veteran Lance Kunce, former state Sen. Scott Sif≠ ton, St. Louis County start≠ up owner Spencer Toder, Kansas City activist Tim Shepard and Air Force vet≠ eran Jewel Kelly. Former Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon announced last week he would not enter the race.

ASSOCIATED PRESS U.S. Rep. Billy Long, a conservative from South≠ western Missouri, is en≠ tering the crowded race for the Republican nom≠ ination for U.S. Senate in Missouri. Long, 65, announced his Senate bid Tuesday night on Tucker Carlsoní s show on Fox News. He joins a long list of GOP candi≠ dates seeking the 2022 nomination for the seat be≠ ing vacated by incumbent Republican Roy Blunt, who announced in March he would not seek a third term. ìW e need to get the Sen≠ ate back,î Long told Carl≠ son. ìY ouí re not going to do anything until you get the Senate back and Ií m the guy that can win that Senate seat in Missouri and make sure that we doní t have a big race there, where we can take funds and put in Arizona and Georgia and these other seats that we need to take back.î Other announced Repub≠ lican candidates include Missouri Attorney Gen≠ eral Eric Schmitt, former Gov. Eric Greitens, U.S.

Hartzler also necessitates homeland security and ì se≠ curity at the border.î ì One of the Æ rst things Ií m going to do is try to strength≠ en our security at the bor≠ der,î Hartzler said. ì Another piece of that leg of security is Homeland Security. That means defending our police, not defunding them.î Another of Hartzlerí s main focuses is expanding rural broadband. A lot of small Missouri towns without reliable in≠ ternet are languishing, ac≠ cording to Hartzler. Senior citizens caní t access tele≠ health, and students caní t do homework from home. One way to revitalize small towns, she said, is to hook up more places with high≠ speed internet. ì Especially with COVID, people are Ø eeing the cit≠ ies; they want to live in the country,î Hartzler said. ì But if they caní t work from home, then that makes it difficult, so we need to get more high≠ speed internet in Missouri to bring jobs and people to our commu≠ nities.î

When it comes to the pan≠ demic, Hartzler applauded the speedy development of the vaccine involving pub≠ lic and private entities. She called the vaccineí s quick roll≠ out ì a miracle.î As the Delta variant con≠ tinues to spread across the state and country, some pri≠ vate businesses in Missouri have required employees to be vaccinated. Six repub≠ lican Missouri state sena≠ tors on Monday asked Gov. Mike Parson to call for a special session to prevent private businesses from re≠ quiring vaccinations. When asked about the legislatorí s desired ban, Hartzler said people should have an individual choice on whether to get vaccinat≠ ed. In her opinion, ì free≠ dom and liberty of an indi≠ vidual should prevail.î Hartzler currently rep≠ resents Missourií s 4th Dis≠ trict in the U.S. House. She grew up near Archie, Missouri, and lives on a farm in Cass County with her husband and daughter. Prior to her time in gov≠ ernment, Hartzler taught family and consumer sci≠ ences for 11 years in Leba≠ non, Missouri, and Benton, Missouri.

Hovis, Burger react to call for session on vaccine mandates BY JEFF LONG

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN Two Southeast Missou≠ ri legislators reaffirmed Thursday their opposition to vaccine mandates in the wake of a new letter signed this week by six GOP state senators, including Holly Rehder (R≠ 27≠ Scott City), asking Gov. Mike Parson to call a special session of the General Assembly ì to pro≠ tect Missouri workers from vaccine mandates, whether they be from the public or private sector,î in the words of the missive. ì Over the past several weeks Missouri employers have sig≠ naled their intention to require employees and staff to have re≠

ceived the COVID≠ 19 vaccina≠ tion as a condition of employ≠ ment. In other words ó get the shot or lose your job. This is concerning to a wide cross≠ sec≠ tion of Missourians.î Count House Rep. Barry Hovis (R≠ 146≠ Whitewater), a former Cape Girardeau police lieutenant, among those not wanting to see anyone pushed into getting the COVID≠ 19 vac≠

cine. ì It goes against the grain of most people to be told they have to do something thatí s personal, when youí re in≠ jecting something into your body,î he said. ì We doní t want to force our population into dangerous de≠ cisions.î Hovisí colleague, freshman lawmaker Jamie Burger (R≠ 148≠ Benton), who served 18 years on the Scott County Commission, echoed Hovis. ìI just doní t think we have the right (because) as a citi≠ zen of the United States, you should be able to receive (the vaccine) or not receive it depending on what your personal thoughts are,î he said.

ì Ií ve been vaccinated but if my neighbor doesní t want it, Ií m OK with that. Thatí s his choice.î Burger is bullish on the call for a special session of the legislature to deal speciÆ cally with vaccine mandates. ì I would support a special session because I just doní t think vaccines should be man≠ datory for anyone in the State of Missouri, at all,î he said. Hovis, asked for his opin≠ ion on a called session, told the Southeast Missourian heí d prefer to wait for the outcome of the Republican House caucus meeting be≠ ing held today and Satur≠ day. ì (Mandates) are one of the three issues weí re go≠

ing to talk about (and) weí ll get into it for sure,î he said. ì There are vaccines used in childhood but theyí ve all been federally approved. To my knowledge, when we talk about the COVID (vaccines), theyí re still experimental drugs approved for emergen≠ cy use and not yet cleared and not yet ruled completely safe.î

Governor While there has not been a speciÆ c comment at press≠ time from Parson on the call for a special session on vac≠ cine mandates, his recent comments to St. Louis Pub≠ lic Radio seem to show the chances are unlikely of him calling lawmakers back to

Jefferson City. ì Do you require some≠ body in private business, that owns their own busi≠ ness, to tell them wheth≠ er they can do a mandat≠ ed vaccine or not? So far, weí re not going to go down that road,î Parson told KW≠ MU≠ FM. ì If that business decides they want to do that, weí re going to allow them to do that in this state until some≠ thing changes to show us dif≠ ferently.î In June, Parson said he wasní t enthusiastic about calling special sessions on anything except the renewal of a tax to help fund Medic≠ aid and about congressional redistricting.

Students work with microbit cards this week during the cybersecurity camp at Cape Girardeau Central High School.

Central, SEMO partner for camp on cybersecurity BY SARAH YENESEL

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN Southeast Missouri State University and Cape Girardeau Central High School are partnering to conduct a cybersecurity camp this week to teach the basics of the subject and re≠ cruit potential talent for the universityí s program. The weeklong class, which ends today, has 14 high school students, in≠ cluding those from the Air Force Junior Reserve Officersí Training Corps (AFJROTC). Col. Michael Goodin, CHS AFJROTC senior aerospace science instruc≠ tor and who oversees the camp, said the subject is important to everyday life because most individuals and organizations are reli≠ ant on computers. Students also learn and practice teamwork and leadership since the camp is divided into teams with team leaders. Team leaders and ris≠ ing seniors Nick Hodges, Zander Stewart and Aar≠ on Wren said they have learned about Python scripting, cryptology, ba≠ sic networking, how hack≠ ers Æ nd vulnerabilities, the kind of attacks hackers use, cyber ethics, wireless networks, microbit cards and more during the camp. ì Weí ve done Cyber≠ Patriot, and Ií ve taken classes over at the CTC (Cape Girardeau Career and Technology Center) for networking, but I re≠

ally havení t been exposed to it on this level really,î Hodges said. î They really went in depth and showed us some things that are ac≠ tually used by people that this is their everyday job here and that this is what they use.î Both schools have com≠ petition cybersecurity pro≠ grams. CHSí AFJROTC CyberPatriot team winning the Missouri title twice in the past three years. SE≠ MOí s Cyber Defense Team being the nine≠ time consec≠ utive champion at the colle≠ giate level. CHS offers high school level courses and SEMO of≠ fers nationally≠ recognized cybersecurity and comput≠ er science programs. Goodin said a different Southeast professor has come in each day to share their knowledge on the subject. Wren said learning from the professors is different. ì Ití s very different. I mean, theyí re very knowledgeable. They know way more than us. They have way more to teach,î Wren said. In the end, the seniors expressed an appreciation for the opportunity to learn this level since they hope to go into the Æ eld themselves and maybe even begin their cybersecurity career at Southeast. ì Ií ve been around com≠ puters my whole life and there are a lot of people that doní t know as much about computers as I do. And I feel like I can help people,î Hodges said.

A hundred years after avi≠ ator Charles Lindbergh Æ rst stunned Perryville, Missou≠ ri, residents with the power of Ø ight, a historical mark≠ er will be installed to com≠ memorate his inØ uence. A ribbon≠ cutting for the historical marker, called ì Field to Flight,î will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday at the picnic grounds of St. Vincent De Paul Seminary in Perryville. ì This marker will give people today the opportuni≠ ty to imagine what it must have been like to have that Æ rst thrilling experience of aviation,î Trish Erzfeld, director of Perry County Tourism, said. Lindbergh visited Per≠ ryville several times during his barnstorming days, ac≠ cording to Erzfeld. ì Barn≠ stormingî describes how aviators once Ø ew from one town to another while tak≠ ing passengers for short Ø ights over the countryside. Erzfeld said during his barnstorming days, Lind≠ bergh introduced planes, pilots and aviation to Per≠ ryville. He took local air≠ plane enthusiasts on 15≠ min≠ ute plane rides over the city for $3 a piece. ì It was probably the Æ rst introduction any Perryville resident had to aviation ó it was cutting edge,î Erzfeld said The picnic grounds, where the marker will stand, have remained mostly unchanged

The marker commemorates the times when Charles Lindbergh flew into Perryville, Missouri, before his rise to international fame. since the days when Lind≠ bergh barnstormed there in the early 1920s, according to Erzfeld. It was a cattle pasture at the time Lind≠ bergh landed on it and still remains a wide≠ open space. Locals call the site ì Sem≠ inary Picnic Groveî as ití s where St. Vincent De Paul Parish holds its annual picnic. The city hasní t de≠

A nine≠ foot piece of tempered glass will stand behind the wing. A biplane similar to what Lindbergh Ø ew will be etched on the surface of the glass.

ì You can stand behind the marker and imagine him coming in and landing on the cow pasture just like you wouldí ve seen back in the day,î Erzfeld said.

Vargas urges vaccinations as SEMO students return BY JEFF LONG

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN Joining Gov. Mike Par≠ son and a chorus of other public officials advocating for COVID≠ 19 vaccinations, Southeast Missouri State University president Carlos Vargas has added his voice as the school prepares to re≠ ceive students for the fall 2021 semester later this month. In a 90≠ second video emailed midweek to the cur≠ rent student body, Vargas, president since 2015, made a strong case to those who may be vaccine≠ hesitant. ì Remember, the virus is less likely to spread the more people are vaccinat≠

ed, which means we can get to in≠ person events, we can have classes in≠ person (and) we can just get back to a more normal environment. As you all know, many peo≠ ple lost relatives, they lost friends, to the pandemic, and so did I. Fortunately, we now have the vaccine that protects us all, so letí s take advantage of it,î he said. Vargas said the situation is different from April 2020, when Parson instituted a state stay≠ at≠ home order and South≠ east went to all≠ virtual classes. ì Early in the pandemic, young people were thank≠ fully not affected too much but with the new variants in the virus, young people are

starting to get affected more signiÆ cantly, so we need to be careful with it,î he said. Noting he and his wife, Pam Vargas, have received their vaccine doses, the Mex≠ ico≠ born head of Southeast said the couple is looking forward to attending sport≠ ing events, meetings of cam≠ pus organizations and other in≠ person activities. SEMOí s fall semester be≠ gins on Aug. 23 with a full slate of in≠ person classes scheduled. The university has an≠ nounced the following no≠ appointment necessary, walk≠ in vax clinics: 3 to 6 p.m. Monday, Stu≠ dent Recreation Center.

OUR OPINION

Save money this weekend with the sales tax holiday This weekend is the ì Back≠ to≠ School Sales Tax Holi≠ dayî in Missouri. Through Sunday, many qualifying items will be exempt from state and some local sales tax. On the state side, thatís 4.225%. The savings increase when you add in participat≠ ing local municipalities such as Cape Girardeau County government and the City of Jackson, among others. Items eligible for sales tax exemption include: Clothing items of $100 or less; school supplies $50 or less; Computer software of $350 or less; computers and related devices of $1,500 or less; and graphic calculators of $150 or less. The sales tax holiday started in August 2004 champi≠ oned by Cape Girardeauís Peter Kinder, then≠ Senate pres≠ ident pro≠ tem, and made an annual event courtesy of Gov. Matt Blunt in 2005. For many families, this is a great opportunity to get some needed shopping done and save a few dollars. When you consider larger purchases such as electronic devices, the savings can add up. And the holiday helps make local shopping an event for area consumers and retailers alike, with the latter offering additional discounts on top of the sales tax exemption. Get your shopping lists together and head to your local retailers this weekend.

GUEST COMMENTARY

A historic opportunity for infrastructure that supports Missouri farmers BY TYLER SHOEMAKER

s someone who works with farmers and ag lenders in Missouri, anytime infrastructure is in the news I pay attention. I know that when ag products leave farms here in Missouri, they arenít magically trans≠ ported to markets across the U.S. and the globe. It takes infrastructure to get the beef, cotton, soybeans, corn and rice to markets. That means reliable bridges, safe highways, navigable waterways and modern ports. The problem is, for too long our stateís infrastructure has been limping along. In fact, the American Society of Civil Engineers this year ranked Missouriís infra≠ structure as a C ≠ . That grade should be unacceptable to farmers, particularly when you consider that agricultur≠ al products are the single largest user of freight services in the U.S., making up 24% of freight services across all modes by tonnage. Thankfully, help is on the way in the form of the bipartisan infrastructure bill currently being considered in Washington, D.C. The legislation as written would make historic, once≠ in≠ a≠ generation investments in the infrastructure farmers depend on. For example, the bill includes a $109 billion to rebuild roads and bridges which farmers use to ship product and transport heavy ag machinery. The bill would invest another $16 billion in our ports and waterways which any farmer in Missouri knows are vital to getting our crops to consumers. It would also invest $65 billion to bring high≠ speed internet to the most rural parts of our state, which not only will help close the digital divide but will also help farmers who are increasingly using cutting≠ edge technology in their farming operations. The bill is fully paid for and wonít raise taxes on hard≠ working families across our state. Which is part of the reason it has gotten bipartisan support. In fact, there are currently 11 Republican Senators who have joined with Democrats in supporting the bill. I encourage Senators Hawley and Blunt to support this bill. One big reason for our senators to support this bill is that if we donít modernize our infrastructure we will continue to trail behind farmers in countries that do. Brazil recently took the mantel of the worldís leading soybean producer and exporter, in part thanks to the ro≠ bust investment they have made in their infrastructure. China continues to lay down roads and bridges across their landscape and even across borders all in service of making themselves more competitive with farmers across the globe. Make no mistake, these investments are aimed directly at challenging American agricultureís historical role as a provider of food to the world. The other major reason to support this bill is jobs. In≠ frastructure jobs are blue≠ collar jobs that pay well. And that matters. In 2018, just 13% of workers on infrastruc≠ ture projects had a bachelorís degree, compared to 37% of all workers. We need to create opportunities for rural, working class jobs and this bill does it. Historically, U.S. agriculture has enjoyed a competitive advantage because we invested in our infrastructure. During the 19th and 20th Century, the U.S. became the global leader by investing heavily in railroads, inland waterways, and the interstate highway system. These investments played an important role in the economic growth of the nation. Agriculture has been a big beneÆ ≠ ciary. In 2018, $3.1 trillion worth of agricultural products were moved across all transportation methods. Letís support farmers and restore our nationís compet≠ itive advantage. I urge our senators to join with the other Republicans who are working diligently to get the bill passed.

Biden administration shouldn’t casting stones over vax I

t was always going to be a herculean task to inoculate, with an untried vaccine, a multiethnic nation of 330 million people across a vast conti≠ nent ó in an era when the media routinely ICTOR warps the daily news. AVIS Many African Amer≠ icans understandably ANSON harbored distrust of government inocu≠ lations after the infamous Tuskegee experiment. Nearly 40 million foreign residents in America were born in other countries, many of which have corrupt governments that long ago lost the trust of the population. The anti≠ vaccination movement was distrustful of what the govern≠ ment said was safe, given the rush to produce previously untried mRNA in≠ oculations. Rural and inner≠ city poor are sometimes not so easily reached, much less persuaded. Yet politics played the most ob≠ structive role early on. Candidate Joe Biden talked grandly of reviving the World War II war production board. He deliberately omitted the fact that it was Donald Trump who emulated FDRís mobilization of private enter≠ prise under government auspices. Trump offered legal protections for companies to accelerate their research and development in hopes that competition, proÆ ts and public oversight would result in COVID≠ 19 vaccinations less than a year after the pandemic hit. And it worked. Mostly safe and effective vaccinations were rolled out not long after the election. Some 17 million were inoculated by the time of Bidenís Jan. 20 inauguration. Yet Dr. Anthony Fauci, in the days when he still posed as a bipartisan professional, had dismissed the idea of any viable vaccination in the elec≠ tion year 2020. Biden publicly doubted

V D H

that Trumpís vaccination efforts would either work or be safe. In a nationally televised debate, vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris shamefully said she would take a COVID≠ 19 vaccine if doctors said it was safe but not if Trump said to take it. That was disastrous messaging for an already skeptical nation. PÆ zer had promised a break≠ through vaccination announcement in late October, on the eve of the election. Then it mysteriously went silent ó only to suddenly announce its successful vaccine less than a week after Election Day. Biden continued the politiciza≠ tion of the vaccination program by bizarrely and falsely declaring on CNN that there had been no vaccines available until he entered office. Yet Biden himself was vaccinated on Dec. 21 on live television. Soon, Biden grandly promised that everyone who was vaccinated would be safe from COVID≠ 19 and could thus resume normal life. Those who refused vaccinations were almost immediately labeled by the media as Trump supporters, reviving the leftís narrative of uneducated, idiotic and white resistance to government. The truth was that, apart from Asian Americans, whites were the most highly vaccinated of the popu≠ lation. Elites charged that backward Southern states like Alabama and Mississippi were not just lagging in their vaccination rates but endanger≠ ing vaccinated Americans by resusci≠ tating a constantly mutating virus. In truth, a low vaccination rate among African Americans in the South was among the chief reasons for that regionís lower vaccination rates. Once the delta variant arrived in force in early summer, earlier govern≠ ment assurances that the vaccinated were now free to resume a normal life lost credibility. Confused and mixed messages followed ó simultaneously downplaying and exaggerating the

efficacy of the vaccinations. Those who were vaccinated were assured that they would not become seriously ill from COVID≠ 19, would likely not need hospitalization, and al≠ most certainly would not die from it. No matter. The media and govern≠ ment officials blame≠ gamed unvacci≠ nated ì superspreadersî for infecting those already vaccinated ó as if the more than 100 million Americans 12 and older still not fully vaccinated were red≠ state rubes who packed honky≠ tonk bars and motorcycle rallies. Yet the reality was quite different. Last summer, more than 1,000 medical professionals signed a letter saying that Black Lives Matter pro≠ tests shouldnít be shut down due to virus concerns, dangerously encour≠ aging people to mass in the streets to demonstrate. Reports indicate that the U.S. is on pace to encounter more than 2 million migrants at the Southern border by the end of the Æ scal year ó people with legal impunity but without vac≠ cinations, COVID≠ 19 tests or lectures from Washington. A recent breakout of COVID≠ 19 among even the vaccinated in Provincetown, Mass., was not due to alt≠ right Neanderthals. It was largely attributable to the annual gay pride celebrations, with thousands of par≠ tyers swarming bars, clubs, restau≠ rants and hotels. Former President Barack Obama was reportedly scheduled to have 500 guests and 200 staffers at his Mar≠ thaís Vineyard estate at a time when the government was again recom≠ mending that masks be worn almost everywhere. If the Biden administration cannot vaccinate 70% of America or assure vaccinated Americans that COVID≠ 19 mutations wonít seriously harm them or rekindle the pandemic, then it might Æ rst look in the mirror before casting stones at others.

Most U.S. Olympians love America O

ne of the things I love most about the Olympics is the chance to watch all sorts of sports that I would never other≠ wise see. Iíve found myself rooting for Team USA in water MARC polo, fencing, table THIESSEN tennis, wrestling and even badminton. There are so many Americans who are exceptional at these sports, but who donít get much attention ó except once every four years during the Olympics. A small number know this is the only time when anyone is going to pay attention to them and choose to use that opportunity to tear their country down. With their antics, they steal the spotlight from the vast majority of U.S. Olympians who love the United States and wear the stars and stripes with pride. We should spend more time celebrating these patriots. We should focus on athletes such as Tamyra Mensah≠ Stock, who became the Æ rst U.S. Black woman to win a gold medal in wrestling. She grew up in Katy, Texas, the daughter of an immigrant from Ghana. During a news conference after her historic win, she was asked how it felt to represent the United States: ì It. Feels. Amazing!î she said, as she bounced with joy while wrapped in an American Ø ag. Curling her hands into the shape of a heart, she added ì I love representing the U.S. I freaking love living there.

A message from the architect of Operation Warp Speed Editorí s note: The following column originally published in The New York Times.

BY ALEX AZAR

mong the many debatable issues around Covid≠ 19 is one unassail≠ able fact: The coronavirus is nonpar≠ tisan. It makes no judgment about oneí s political leanings. The vaccines that were developed to Æ ght this virus have no political bias, either. And yet the reluctance and even refusal of many Americans ó includ≠ ing many of my fellow conservatives and Republicans ó to get a Covid≠ 19 vaccine is a frustrating irony for those of us who worked to expedite these vaccines. While the vaccines have had doubts cast upon them by politicians throughout their produc≠ tion and rollout, whether a person lives in a red or a blue state has no bearing on the vaccinesí efficacy. They work incredibly well, and more than 160 million fully vaccinated Americans are proof. Whether such skepticism is rooted in political misgivings, conspiracy theories or lack of accurate and timely information, there are still millions of Americans unwilling to take the simplest of steps to end this pandemic. That makes it incumbent upon all leaders and health experts to be honest about how safe and effective the vaccines are and urge vaccination. I know the vaccinesí features inti≠ mately because as secretary of health and human services, I oversaw their development, testing, approval and distribution from April of 2020 until January of this year. After leav≠ ing office, I watched with pride as vaccination rates rose through the early months of the year, and then with dismay as the daily number of vaccinations declined. Any claims that the vaccines are unsafe or ineffective, or that corners were cut are not true. Americans should understand that the process by which our team helped expedite these vaccines was called Operation Warp Speed for good reason. With the numbers of cases and deaths climb≠ ing in April of 2020 and the economy contracting, we had no time to lose. Masks and social distancing could offer only so much protection. Lock≠ downs, which devastated economies around the world, could only forestall the virusí s inevitable spread. Safe and effective vaccines were our best hope of liberating Ameri≠ ca from the pandemic. As hospital wards Æ lled beyond capacity, we needed to develop the vaccines much faster than the typical timeline would allow. At the same time, we made sure that there was no compromise on safety by conducting some of the largest and most extensive vaccine clinical trials ever. After the U.S. government commit≠ ted to spending more than $2 trillion on Covid≠ 19 relief, I set a stretch goal

that was intended to be both auda≠ cious and motivational ó a ì moon shotî ó similar to President John F. Kennedyí s 1961 proclamation that we were going to the moon by the end of the decade. In this case, our goal was to produce 300 million vaccine doses by January 2021. Operation Warp Speed committed to funding upfront various stages of development, including testing vaccines in humans to prove they are safe and effective, as well as the manufacturing of the vaccines. We provided funding to test vac≠ cines in large populations, and we got results faster than ever before. The vaccines produced remarkable protection against Covid≠ 19 and were extremely safe. After studying all the data in depth, the Food and Drug Administration granted emergency use authorizations. Some who are hesitant to get vaccinated point to the fact that the vaccines remain under emergen≠ cy≠ use authorization rather than full approval. Ití s vital for Democratic and Republican leaders to explain clearly and repeatedly that the F.D.A. held these vaccines to such high stan≠ dards that the only real difference is that full approval requires steps like analyzing longer≠ term safety and efficacy data, and inspecting manufacturing facilities. Hundreds of millions of doses of these vaccines have now been given to Americans over the past year, providing us with some of the most robust real≠ world evidence of their safety and efficacy that weí ve ever had for new vaccines. A vast majority of adverse events with the vaccines occur in the Æ rst 42 days or so. The current and former leadership of the F.D.A. and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ó of both parties ó are unanimous in encouraging all eligible Americans to take the vaccines. Political, public health and thought leaders must educate about the beneÆ ts of the vaccine, not hector or preach. This information must come from respect≠ ed and trusted Æ gures in the various hesitant communities. We did not reach our stretch goal of producing 300 million doses by January, but we hedged our bets by investing in a portfolio of vaccines and had tens of millions of doses of vaccine in production by the end of January. Many governors were able to begin general vaccination programs by March, and we had a surplus of vaccine by the end of the second quarter. As I reØ ect, we could have done a better job in reminding the media and the public of all that could go wrong with vaccine development and manufacturing. We also should have explained more clearly the operation≠ al complexities that would accompa≠ ny a large scaling up of distribution. We could have done more to ad≠ dress vaccine hesitancy. We focused

a great deal of our efforts at the start on the groups that we thought might be most hesitant. We demanded all clinical trials included a diverse, rep≠ resentative sample of participants, and the Department of Health and Human Services provided funding for an effort by the Morehouse School of Medicine to coordinate a network of national, state, territorial, tribal and local organizations to deliver trusted information to racial and ethnic minority communities. But we did not predict the politi≠ cization of vaccines that has led so many Republicans to hold back. As of mid≠ July, 43 percent of Republi≠ cans said that they have not been vaccinated and deÆ nitely or probably wouldní t be, versus 10 percent of Democrats, according to a poll from The Associated Press≠ NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Ií m glad former President Donald Trump got vaccinated, but it would have been even better for him to have done so on national television so that his supporters could see how much trust and conÆ dence he has in what is arguably one of his greatest accom≠ plishments. The vaccines could be a victory lap for the Republican Party, and I call upon all party leaders and conserva≠ tives to double down on encouraging vaccination. Party leaders like Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida are making clear that vaccines save lives. Sean Hannity of Fox News is now telling viewers to ì please take Covid seri≠ ously.î Representative Steve Scalise of Louisiana shared a photo of himself recently getting vaccinated. I urge more of this from trusted voices on the right. More than 600,000 Americans have died of Covid≠ 19, but vaccines can prevent more loss. Getting vaccinated is an absolute necessity to end the pandemic. Conservatives need to do our part, and the Biden administration must Æ nd voices that will be trusted in conservative communities to explain the data and integrity of the vaccine programs. They would also do well to continue to acknowledge the historic achievement of the Trump adminis≠ tration in expediting these vaccines. Ií m not naÔ ve about the partisan issues and the mistrust between parties at play ó but a measure of political graciousness could go a long way to depoliticize the issue. In seeking to end this pandemic, the Biden administration is exhorting all unvaccinated adults in our country to get their shots, and I fully support it in this call. It would be tragic to see more lives needlessly lost when we are so close to beating this virus once and for all. Alex Azar was secretary of health and human services under President Donald Trump. He oversaw Operation Warp Speed, the program to expedite Covid≠ 19 vaccines.

Time to overturn Roe v. Wade I

n May, the Supreme Court put abor≠ tion on the docket for its upcoming session by agreeing to hear Dobbs v. Jackson Womení s Health Organization. The high courtí s decision to hear this case registered on the seismometer of every American that carefully follows the abortion issue. It means that Roe v. Wade, which has deÆ ned abortion reality in the TAR country since 1973, is open to review and ARKER could be overturned. The Mississippi law in question, which bans abortion after 15 weeks of pregnan≠ cy, was struck down by an appeals court in 2019. The state then appealed to the Supreme Court. Last week, Mississippií s attorney general submitted its brief to the Supreme Court. A central point of contention will be the issue of viability. Viability ó the point at which the unborn child can survive outside of the womb ó has been the legal criterion for drawing the line beyond which a womaní s alleged right to destroy the child within her is no longer assumed. Given that viability is assumed to occur at 24 weeks, the 15≠ week provision of the Mississippi law upends this standard. The Mississippi attorney general questions the rele≠ vance of the viability standard, challenging particularly that there is any basis for it in the Constitution. But we must dig deep here, because weí re not just deal≠ ing with the question of viability of the unborn child. We are dealing with questions about the viability of our society and our country. Can we really function as a society and as a nation while turning away from the most central issue that any society faces ó awe of the mystery of life? There might indeed be a point in time when an unborn child can be removed from its mother and physically survive. But although there may be a point where that child might not need its mother to survive, it still needs others. Someone must take care of that child, meaning someone must care about that childí s life. If not, that child will die. So, the legal idea of viability that has been sustaining the Roe v. Wade world really has no meaning. In 2014, the Vatican hosted an international colloquium on ì The Complementarity of Man and Woman.î Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, the former chief rabbi of the U.K., gave an address about marriage. He spoke of ì the idea of the love that brings new life into the world.î Sacks observed that ì life begins when male and female meet and embrace.î It is hard to believe that in our nation today, when there is so much outrage about racism, many of those who see racism as a problem do not see indifference to the sanctity of life as a problem. But if all life is not sacred, if every human being is not a unique creation in the image of God, what is wrong with being a racist? Why would slavery be a problem if every human being is not a divine creation? It is no accident that following the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973, we have seen a collapse of the American family and now the general collapse of birth itself. The Wall Street Journal reported last week: ì In half of all states last year, more people died than were born, up from Æ ve states in 2019. Early estimates show the total U.S. population grew 0.35% for the year ended July 1, 2020, the lowest ever documented, and growth is expect≠ ed to remain near Ø at this year.î A society without family and children, with increasing drug overdoses and suicides, with reports of far too great a frequency of individuals pointlessly murdering people they doní t know, is a society whose soul is in bad shape. Restoring sanctity of life in the womb is a good place to start turning things around. My prayer is that the U.S. Supreme Court will agree.

Wildfire now third-largest in history of California BY DAISY NGUYEN AND NOAH BERGER

A Northern California wildÆ re that is now the third≠ largest in state histo≠ ry had burned for weeks, mostly in remote wildland areas with few people, be≠ fore it roared through the little mountain communi≠ ty of Greenville, driven by shifting winds and bone≠ dry vegetation.

Violent insurrectionists loyal to President Donald Trump hold on to a police barrier at the Capitol in Washington on Jan. 6. A New Jersey gym owner Friday became the first person to plead guilty to assaulting a law enforcement officer during the riot.

Gym owner pleads guilty to assaulting officer in Jan. 6 riot BY MICHAEL KUNZELMAN

ASSOCIATED PRESS

A New Jersey gym owner on Friday became the Æ rst person to plead guilty to as≠ saulting a law enforcement officer during the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. Scott Kevin Fairlambí s deal with federal prosecu≠ tors could be a benchmark for dozens of other cases in which Capitol rioters clashed with police. Fair≠ lambí s attorney said pros≠ ecutors will recommend a prison sentence ranging from about 3 1/2 to 4 1/4 years, but the judge isní t bound by that term of the plea agreement. His plea comes less than two weeks after a group of police officers testiÆ ed at a congressional hearing about their harrowing con≠ frontations with the mob of insurrectionists. Five offi≠ cers who were at the Capitol that day have died, four of them by suicide. The Justice Department has said that rioters assaulted approx≠ imately 140 police officers on Jan. 6. About 80 of them were U.S. Capitol Police officers and about 60 were from the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Depart≠ ment. Fairlamb, 44, a former mixed martial arts Æ ght≠ er whose brother is a U.S.

Secret Service agent, was one of the very Æ rst rioters to breach the Capitol after other rioters smashed win≠ dows using riot shields and kicked out a locked door, ac≠ cording to federal prosecu≠ tors. After leaving the build≠ ing, Fairlamb harassed a line of police officers, shout≠ ing in their faces and block≠ ing their progress through the mob, prosecutors wrote in a court Æ ling. A video showed him hold≠ ing a collapsible baton and shouting, and shouting, ì What (do) patriots do? We ... disarm them and then we storm the ... Capitol!î U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth set a sentencing date of Sept. 27 for Fair≠ lamb, who has been jailed since his Jan. 22 arrest at his home in Stockholm, New Jersey. Defense lawyer Harley Breite said he will ask the judge for a sentence below the governmentí s recom≠ mended guidelines. Fairlambí s involvement in the riot has ì eviscerated large parts of his life,î his attorney said. ì He has lost his business. The mortgage on his home where he lives with his wife is in peril. And he has been publicly disgraced,î Breite said during an interview after Fridayí s remote hear≠ ing.

Breite said his client want≠ ed to ì pay the price for what he had done and then move on with his life.î ì It wasní t so much about the deal. It was about his desire to own up to what he had done, make himself a better person for the future and move on,î the lawyer added. Fairlamb pleaded guilty to two counts, obstruction of an official proceeding and assaulting a Metropolitan Police Department officer. The counts carry a maxi≠ mum of more than 20 years in prison. He had been indicted on 12 counts, including civil dis≠ order, assaulting a police of≠ Æ cer and engaging in phys≠ ical violence in a restricted building or grounds. Another video captured Fairlamb shoving and punching a police officer in the head after he left the Capitol, according to an FBI agentí s affidavit. ì As a former MMA Æ ght≠ er, the defendant was well aware of the injury he could have inØ icted on [the offi≠ cer],î prosecutors wrote. ì His actions and words on that day all indicate a spe≠ ciÆ c intent to obstruct a congressional proceeding through fear, intimidation, and violence, including vi≠ olence against uniformed police officers.î

Schools reopen with masks optional BY JEFF AMY

ASSOCIATED PRESS MCDONOUGH, Ga. ó As Tussahaw Elementary opened this week for a new school year, teary≠ eyed mothers led in kindergart≠ ners dwarfed by backpacks and buses dropped off Æ fth graders looking forward to ruling their school. The biggest clue to the linger≠ ing COVID≠ 19 crisis was the masks worn by students and teachers ó but not all of them. Georgia, like most states, is leaving it up to local schools to decide whether to require face coverings. And 43,000≠ student Henry Coun≠ ty, like many districts worn out by months of conØ ict over masks, has decided not to insist on them. Instead, they are ì highly recommended.î Many parents Wednes≠ day in this suburb south of Atlanta had mixed feelings about the policy. Some kept their children home in disagreement with it. Others sent their young≠ sters to class with face cov≠ erings. Shatavia Dorsey, the mother of a kindergartner and a Æ fth grader, said her children are going to wear their masks at school re≠ gardless of the rules. ì Theyí re not vaccinated because theyí re too young, and I doní t know if some≠ one else is carrying it in,î said Dorsey, who is doubtful about the school systemí s ability to maintain in≠ per≠ son instruction amid rising infections. With the delta variant spreading rapidly, the Centers for Disease Con≠ trol and Prevention and the American Academy of Pediatrics have advised in recent weeks that every≠ one in schools wear masks in communities with sub≠

stantial or high transmis≠ sion. Educators have had to contend with strong resis≠ tance to masks from some parents and political lead≠ ers. Some consider mask rules an intrusion on par≠ entsí authority to make decisions about their chil≠ drení s health. California, Louisiana, New Jersey, Oregon and Washington state intend to require masks for all stu≠ dents and teachers regard≠ less of vaccination status. At the other end of the spec≠ trum, Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas and

Utah have banned mask requirements in public schools. Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida said Thursday the decision of whether to wear masks in school should be made by parents, adding: ì What are the harmful effects of putting a kindergartener in a mask for seven hours? Have they talked about the emotional, the academic, the physiological? Why isní t CDC studying that?î Outbreaks that have hit schools at the very start of the year have added to calls for more mask require≠ ments.

U.S. added 943,000 jobs in July BY PAUL WISEMAN

ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON ó Hiring surged in July as American employers added 943,000 jobs. The unemployment rate dropped to 5.4% anoth≠ er sign that the U.S. econ≠ omy continues to bounce back with surprising vigor from last yearí s coronavi≠ rus shutdown. The July numbers ex≠ ceeded economistsí fore≠ cast for more than 860,000 new jobs. Hotels and restaurants, reopening and doing brisk business, add≠ ed 327,000 jobs last month. Local public schools added 221,000. The number of people

who reported they had jobs surged by 1 million, pushing the jobless rate down from 5.9% in June. Last month, 261,000 people returned to the job mar≠ ket. Scrambling to Æ nd work≠ ers as business surges back, companies raised wages: Average hourly earnings were up 4% last month from a year earlier. The coronavirus trig≠ gered a brief but intense recession last spring, forc≠ ing businesses to shut down and consumers to stay home as a health pre≠ caution. The economy lost more than 22 million jobs in March and April 2020. Since then, though, it has

recovered nearly 17 million jobs, leaving a 5.7 million shortfall compared to Feb≠ ruary 2020. ì Things are undeniably moving in the right direc≠ tion,î said Greg McBride, chief Æ nancial analyst at Bankrate.com. The rollout of vaccines has encouraged businesses to reopen and consumers to return to shops, restau≠ rants and bars that they had shunned for months after the pandemic struck. Many Americans are also in surprisingly strong Æ ≠ nancial shape because the lockdowns allowed them to save money and bank re≠ lief checks from the federal government.

He won the 200≠ meter backstroke in a time of 2:06.96, which qualiÆ ed him for the Speedo Winter Junior National Championships in Austin, Texas in December,

as well as the 2022 Summer Junior National Champion≠ ships next summer. ì His backstroke,î Brewer said, ì he just has a natural feel for the water.î To put Thomasí ability in context, as an eighth≠ grad≠ er, he would have placed third in the 100 back at the MSHSAA Class 1 Boyí s State Swim Finals last year, and fourth in the 200 indi≠ vidual medley. Thomas doesní t lack talent in any of his strokes, Brewer quickly noted, but his back≠ stroke is at another level. See THOMAS, Page 3B

Southeast Missouri State shortstop makes a throw to first base against Austin Peay this past season at Capaha Field.

SEMO baseball to bring back ‘elite bat-to-ball guy’ in 2022

BY TOM DAVIS

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN There is no way to sugar≠ coat the fact that standout pitcher Dylan Dodd is going to be immersed in spring training next February, not helping the Southeast Mis≠ souri State baseball program win its second consecutive Ohio Valley Conference championship. However, on the bright side, the Redhawks will be return≠ ing their top offensive player. Senior shortstop Tyler Wil≠ ber has decided to return to Cape Girardeau for a Æ nal season in 2021≠ 22 after not be≠ ing selected in the 2021 Major League Baseball Draft. ì Tyler,î SEMO coach Andy Sawyers said earlier this sum≠ mer, ì while he was a high≠ lev≠ el performer, his metrics in terms of how fast he is, how hard he throws the ball, none of that is super exciting. (But) Heí s a very skilled baseball

player.î Wilber started all 52 games this past season, despite be≠ ing ì banged up,î according to Sawyers. He led SEMO in hitting (.378 and 76 hits), RBI (49), total bases (109), slugging (.542) while ranking second in home runs (six), doubles (11), and triples (two). ì What college players and fans miss,î Sawyers ex≠ plained about the MLB scout≠ ing process, ì their objective isní t to draft a great college player. Their objective is to draft major leaguers with more potential. ì With Tyler, sometimes when you put him on their scale, he looks like a great col≠ lege player instead of a poten≠ tial major leaguer.î Wilber was one of 30 nom≠ inees for the coveted Brooks Wallace Award, which goes to the nationí s best shortstop. Within the OVC play, Wilber hit .389, which was second in

Jackson High School incoming freshman swimmer Nate Thomas works on his backstroke start as he trains at the Central Municipal Pool on Tuesday in preparation for this weekend’s Central Age Group Zone Championships in Indiana.

Thomas From Page 1B He is ranked as the 28th≠ fastest 14≠ year≠ old in the United States in the 100≠ yard backstroke and is 23rd in the 200≠ yard backstroke. The middle portion of his IM races (back and breast≠ stroke) are his strength, which Brewer said is a bit ì unusual,î and he ranks 54th in the na≠ tion in the 200≠ yard IM. ì Backstroke is my favor≠ ite, Thomas said, ì but I also really enjoy doing IMs.î He also ì enjoysî the chal≠ lenge of the longer races. Some swimmers embrace the 50≠ and 100≠ yard speed events, but when it comes to racing for 200 yards/me≠ ters or even more difficult, the 400 IM, Thomas is all in mentally and physically for that challenge. ì We train to accept pain,î Brewer said. ì Pain is your friend. We want to know that, and we want to know right when it comes that weí ll be ready for it. We know that it is just part of the deal. ì You did a handshake deal with pain.î Brewer knows how to han≠ dle Thomas because heí s been in his Ø ip≠ Ø ops before. Brewer is a former swim≠ mer for the University of Georgia, who qualiÆ ed for the Junior Nationals as a 13≠ year≠ old. He was a mem≠ ber of the U.S. National Team 10 times and competed in the 2000 Olympic Trials. Having narrowly missed his opportunity to compete in the Olympic Games plays a role in Brewerí s guiding Thomas down the same path. ì Ití s 1,089 days until (the 2024 Olympic Games in) Par≠ is,î Brewer said on Tuesday. For the time being, Thom≠ as is focused on a more

short≠ term period. ì Before each season,î Thomas explained, ì weí ll sit down and talk about how the last season went, and then weí ll go from there. Weí ll set some stuff up on the board and say ë This is where we want to be, so how do we get there?í î Following this weekend, Thomas and his teammates will rest for two weeks, which Brewer says ì is part of their training.î ì I doní t want them any≠ where near a pool,î Brewer said earnestly. Thomas Æ rst swam as a six≠ year≠ old in Perryville before his family moved to Jackson. He noticed his times drop≠ ping signiÆ cantly around the age of 10, which is interesting, because his younger brother, 10≠ year≠ old Ty Thomas, is al≠ ready a multiple record hold≠ er for the Ozark Zone. ì Weí re definitely different stroke≠ wise,î Nate said of his aquatic sibling. ì He is turning a lot toward his freestyle right now. And he is liking that. Heí s enjoying that. But we both like the IM, but then that is where we disperse and that is where we start making a separation.î Whereas Nate is strongest in the middle portion of his IM, Ty has a strong opening butterØ y leg and can close well with his freestyle. Their stroke preferences may differ, but Brewer said both brothers are similar in that they study the sport intensely. ì What separates the Thomas kids,î Brewer said, ì is they are students of the sport. They go home and they are studying video on their own. They are reading about swimming. They are listening to quotes and lis≠ tening to the interviews with the Olympic athletes on how they felt here or there. ì Theyí re into all of that stuff.î

the league. ì He did that with a hurt wrist,î Sawyers said. ì Ití s hard to hit with your hands hurting.î Regardless of what the MLB scouts believe, Sawyers has total faith in Wilber as a person and an athlete. ì You have an elite bat≠ to≠ ball guy,î Sawyers said. ì You know he is a (.390) Division I hitter. Heí s 6≠ foot≠ 3, 220 pounds, and you havení t seen who he is at his best. He needs time to get healthy. ì I think Tyler is one of the best bat≠ to≠ ball guys in the whole country. If you look at his amount of hits, the amount of walks (22) to strikeouts (26), youí d be hard≠ pressed to Æ nd a guy with bet≠ ter knowledge of the strike zone and better bat≠ to≠ ball skills.î Sawyers will return his top Æ ve hitters next season after winning 30 games, including a 17≠ 10 mark in the OVC.

A pass protection pock≠ et featuring Alan Fan≠ eca,Steve Hutchinson, Jimbo Covert and the late Winston Hill. On defense, a secondary featuring Charles Wood≠ son, Troy Polamalu, John Lynch, Steve Atwater and Donnie Shell. All of them coached by Bill Cowher or Tom Flores or Jimmy Johnson. The group of men enter≠ ing the Pro Football Hall of Fame this weekend fea≠ tures everything. From a super scout who found the talent ñ the late Bill Nunn ñ to a defensive tackle who once punched out a horse: the late Alex Karras in his role as Mongo in ì Blazing Saddles.î Quite a cast. ì I never knew I was going to wind up a pro football player,î Manning told the Hall of Fame for its year≠ book. ì Like lots of kids, I had dreams and wanted to be like my dad, and my dad played football.î Archie Manning is in the College Football Hall of Fame and also had a lengthy NFL career. ì That was kind of an easy answer when peo≠ ple asked me or if I had to write on a class project,î Peyton Manning said.

Former Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning is among a prolific roster entering the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday night.

Brown and Gale Sayers as Pro Football Hall of Fam≠ ers inducted at 35 years old or younger. ì Thatí s football royal≠ ty, man,î Johnson said. ì When you hear those guysí names, youí re just like, ë Wow.í î This is a ì Wow Week≠ endî in Canton. Due to the COVID≠ 19 pandemic, the 2020 enshrinements of that yearí s class and a special centennial class were post≠ poned to now. Combined with the 2021 group, 28 men are going into the hall. There are so many in≠ ductees on Saturday and Sunday nights that the hall has limited speeches to eight minutes or less. Man≠ ning, well known for his verbosity, promises he will be under that maximum. ì So, theyí re saying thereí s like a blinking light at six minutes,î Manning said, ì maybe a little bell going off at seven minutes, and then at eight minutes, they say that someoneí s go≠

ing to come up and lead the applause to end the speech. I look forward to seeing them come up and lead the applause while Alan Fan≠ eca is still speaking. Good luck getting him off the stage. Or anybody thatí s an offensive linemen is proba≠ bly tough to pull.î Manning, Woodson and Calvin Johnson all were selected this year in their Æ rst time eligible. So was Polamalu in 2020; he has tested positive for the coro≠ navirus and his status for attending Saturday is un≠ certain. Lynch, on the other hand, was a Æ nalist seven times before his breakthrough this year. It wasní t that he lacked credentials as one of the top safeties in the game for 15 seasons. The competition at the position was hefty, and Lynch, cur≠ rently the general manag≠ er of the 49ers, recognizes that. ì I think that is one thing thatí s extremely well≠ grat≠ ifying to see that thereí s been a movement, and I think a well≠ needed one,î Lynch said. ì That speaks to the value of that position because for years safeties were facing an uphill bat≠ tle of getting into the hall ñ and I feel like Ií ve lived it, but doní t know verbatim kind of how weí ve started knocking down the door. But a number of safeties have done it: Brian Daw≠ kins, Troy Polamalu, Steve Atwater. Kenny Houston at some point went in. ì The list is long here in re≠ cent years and I think thatí s appropriate because I think that position really has an impact on football and the reason being is because youí re asked to do a little bit of everything.î The guys going into the Hall of Fame this week represent that kind of ver≠ satility.

American Felix sets new women’s Olympics medal record; Crouse is 2-time Olympic shot put champion ASSOCIATED PRESS TOKYO ó The new medal standard in Olympic womení s track has been set. American Allyson Felix stands alone at the top and still has a chance to go even higher. The 35≠ year≠ old Felix won her record 10th Olympic track medal Friday night at the Tokyo Games with a push down the home stretch of the 400 meters to take the bronze medal. Felix now has more Olym≠ pic track and Æ eld medals than any woman in history in a career that goes back to 2004 in Athens. She came to Tokyo even with Jamaican runner Merlene Ottey. Her 10th med≠ al also ties her with the great Carl Lewis for the most by an American athlete. She could break that Saturday when sheí s expected to run in the 1,600≠ relay. ì Ití s something I felt I could accomplish. I feel like I have come a long way from all the other Games. This one is just different,î Felix said. ì Ií m not too wrapped up in winning more medals. The biggest thing for me was coming back.î Shaunae Miller≠ Uibo of the Bahamas won the 400 in 48.36 seconds to defend her Olym≠ pic title. Marileidy Paulino of the Dominican Republic Æ n≠ ished second a full .84 seconds behind. Felix took bronze by a mere .15 seconds ahead of Stephanie Ann McPherson of

don Olympics. The U.S. men did not qualify for the Æ nal. ì This is the year of Italy,î Jacobs said ì This is our year.î On Thursday, Ryan Crous≠ er earned the Æ rst track and Æ eld gold medal for the American men at the Tokyo Games, coming later than anyone expected ó on Day 7 of the meet. It was too late for his grandpa to see it, though Crouser and his family have a feeling he knows. Crouser wrote the note and brought it to the stadium just in case. ì Grandpa. We did it. 2020 Olympic champion!î it said. The worldí s best shot putter had a feeling heí d win. After he did just that on Thurs≠ day, he pulled out that piece of paper and showed it to the world. Crouserí s second straight Olympic gold medal was a tribute to his grandfa≠ ther, Larry, who died shortly before Crouser left for Tokyo. ì To lose him the week be≠ fore the Olympics was ob≠ viously sad,î Crouser said. ì But I feel like he was able to be here in spirit.î It was years ago in Lar≠ ry Crouserí s backyard that Ryan attempted his Æ rst toss with the heavy metal ball that would shape his life. What a journey it produced.

Crouser has seen the world thanks to that shot put. Dom≠ inated it, too. He set the world record earlier this summer at the Olympic trials. On Thurs≠ day, he raised his own Olym≠ pic record as well, to 23.30 me≠ ters (76 feet, 51/2 inches). On Crouserí s big day, U.S. teammate Joe Kovacs Æ n≠ ished second and Tomas Walsh of New Zealand was third. That was the exact same podium as Æ ve years ago at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics. It marks the Æ rst time in any Olympic individual track and Æ eld event that thereí s been a repeat podium in back≠ to≠ back Summer Games ñ the same three athletes in the exact same positions, accord≠ ing to Olympic historian Bill Mallon.

American Women The U.S. beach volleyball team of April Ross and Alix Klineman won gold in beach volleyball and the American womení s basketball and vol≠ leyball teams won to advance to the gold medal Æ nals in both sports. Ross and Klineman swept Australia 21≠ 15, 21≠ 16 in 43 minutes. For Ross, the gold completes a set. She won silver in London in 2012 and bronze in Rio de Janeiro in 2016. Klineman won gold in her Æ rst Olympics. The U.S. womení s vol≠ leyball team avenged a gold≠ medal match loss to Ser≠ bia in 2016 with a 25≠ 19, 25≠ 15, 25≠ 23 victory that sends them back into the Æ nal against Brazil, which beat South Ko≠ rea in straight sets in the oth≠ er semiÆ nal. The Americans have made three previous gold medal Æ nals, but have never won. The U.S. womení s basket≠ ball team will play Japan in Sundayí s Æ nal after rolling over Serbia 79≠ 59 behind 15 points and 12 rebounds from Brittney Griner. Japan beat France 87≠ 71. If the Americans win Sun≠ day, they would match the seven consecutive Olympic titles won by the U.S. men from 1936≠ 68.

MLB 2022 season starts March 31, again with every team scheduled ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK ó Major League Baseball will open the 2022 season on March 31 ñ as long as there isní t a work stoppage ñ and will try for the fourth time to have every team play its Æ rst game on the same day for the Æ rst time since 1968. The league released the full schedule on Wednesday. NL openers have the Chicago Cubs at Cincinnati, Colorado at the Los Angeles Dodgers, Atlanta at Miami, Arizona at Milwaukee, Washington at the New York Mets, St. Louis at Pittsburgh and San Fran≠ cisco at San Diego. AL openers are Toronto at Baltimore, Tampa Bay at Boston, Minnesota at the Chi≠ cago White Sox, Kansas City at Cleveland, the Los Angeles Angels at Oakland, Detroit at Seattle and the New York Yan≠ kees at Texas. In the one interleague open≠ er, Philadelphia is at Houston. The collective bargaining agreement between MLB and the playersí association expires Dec. 1. Given the acrimonious relationship between the sides, a lockout or strike appears possible. Baseball has not had a work stoppage since a 7 1/2≠ month strike in 1994≠ 95 that caused the Æ rst cancellation of the World Series in 90 years. MLB tried to have all 30 clubs play on the same open≠ ing day for three of the past four seasons. Pittsburgh at Detroit and Washington at Cincinnati were rained out in 2018. For 2019, Seattle and Oak≠ land started ahead of other teams with a two≠ game series in Tokyo. The start of the 2020 season was delayed to July 23 due to the pandemic, and the only game on opening night had the Yankees at Washing≠ ton.

When MLB tried again this year, the Metsí game in Washington ó a prime pitch≠ ing matchup between Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer ó was postponed because of a COVID≠ 19 outbreak. Balti≠ moreí s game at Boston was postponed because rain was in the forecast. Home openers for teams opening on the road start April 4, when the Royals host the White Sox, the Blue Jays host the Rays, the Cubs host the Cardinals and the Nation≠ als host the Phillies. April 7 home openers have the Yankees host the Red Sox, the Angels host the Astros, the Twins host the Mariners, the Diamondbacks host the Padres, the Cardinals host the Pirates and the Braves host the Reds. Remaining home openers are April 8, with the the Ti≠ gers home against the White Sox, the Rays home against the Orioles, the Phillies home against the Athletics, the Rockies home against the Dodgers and the Gianst home against the Marlins. Interleague play has the AL East vs. NL Central, AL Cen≠ tral vs. NL West and AL West vs. NL East. The Cubs play at Yankee Stadium from June 10≠ 12 and the Red Sox are at Wrigley Field from July 1≠ 3. The Mets host the Yankees, observing the 20th anniver≠ sary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Every team is scheduled to play on Jackie Robinson Day, April 15, which falls on a Fri≠ day. The All≠ Star Game will be at Dodger Stadium on July 19, its latest date since 1981 was played on Aug. 9 following a playersí strike. The 2020 All≠ Star Game was supposed to be at Dodger Stadium but was canceled due to the pandemic. The regular season is sched≠ uled to end on Oct. 2.

Up Next LHP Kwang Hyun Kim (6≠ 6, 3.31) will face Kansas City RHP Brad Keller (7≠ 10, 5.64) in the second game of the three≠ game series on Sat≠ urday night. Kim gave up a career≠ high four home runs in 2 2≠ 3 innings of a 7≠ 2 loss to Cleveland on Wednesday. Keller is 1≠ 2 with a 4.74 ERA in Æ ve games against St. Louis.

ST. LOUIS ó Austin Ri≠ ley homered and Ehire Adrianza drove in the go≠ ahead run with the Æ rst of four straight bases≠ loaded walks as the Atlanta Braves scored six times in the eighth inning to complete a three≠ game sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals with an 8≠ 4 victory Thursday night. Atlantaí s rally came against a Cardinals bullpen that couldní t hold a lead for the second straight night. Rileyí s two≠ out, two≠ run homer off Giovanny Gallegos in the eighth tied the game at 4 and denied Cardinals start≠ er Wade LeBlanc his Æ rst win in more than a year. The homer came one night after Gallegos gave up three runs in two≠ thirds of an inning while taking the loss. Gallegos (5≠ 5) was pulled for Alex Reyes after giv≠ ing up a double to Dansby Swanson. Reyes hit the Æ rst batter he faced with a pitch and then walked four straight, including Adrian≠ za, Stephen Vogt and Ozzie Albies with the bases load≠ ed to stretch the lead. Jus≠

Gary Seesing, son of John T. Seesing, co-owner of Cape Central Airways, gazes at the heap of debris left by the early-morning fire July 15, 1971, which destroyed the Municipal Airport’s main hangar after it was struck by lightniing.

Storm takes the roof off of Burfordville bridge, destroys airport hangar L

iving in Southeast Mis≠ souri, weí re used to the occasional summer storms that terrorize our nights and damage our buildings. But an electrical storm in July 1971 is memorable for two things: Strong winds unroofed the historic covered bridge at Bollinger Mill in Burfordville and lightning struck the main hangar at Cape Girardeau Regional (then Municipal) Airport, causing a Æ re that burned the World War II≠ vintage building to the ground. Coincidentally, a blaze on the same date in 1966, also caused by a lightning strike, destroyed a similar hangar at the airport. Hereí s the Missourianí s main story from Thursday, July 15, 1971. Next weekí s blog will have sidebars about the covered bridge and the hangar, as well as the story of the damages suffered by farmers in the Tilsit area.

SHARON SANDERS Sharon Sanders is the librarian at the Southeast Missourian.

Storm carves path of destruction A raging electrical storm, accompanied in many plac≠ es by high and probably tornadic winds, bombarded Southeast Missouri for

hours early today, causing damage in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Three members of a fam≠ ily were killed in a tornado which struck Desloge in the Missouri Lead Belt, while at Anniston, Mis≠ souri, Æ ve persons were reported injured. Cape Girardeauí s night was punctuated by a con≠ tinuing, powerful display of lightning and the following peals of thunder cascaded down in the rolling effect of an artillery barrage. Lightning struck the No. 1 hangar at Municipal Airport about 4:30 a.m. and before Æ remen could arrive the World War II metal structure had collapsed on planes and equipment with a loss estimated at $500,000. The old Burfordville covered bridge, a historic landmark and a scenic part of Burfordville Mill State Park, was damaged by wind. The covering was blown off and the structure

was twisted by the storm. The storm raged through Cape County, doing dam≠ age at a variety of places, moving from northeast to southwest on into Scott and Mississippi counties with varying amounts of damage. There was rainfall in the west, but in Stod≠ dard County there were no reports of actual storm damage.

George C. Yount was born in North Carolina May 4, 1794, probably son of Jacob Yount. Jacob and family came to Missouri in about 1808. The Younts settled in the German Settlement on and near Whitewater River. This area is in present≠ day Bollinger County, but was Cape Girardeau County until 1851.

SUBMITTED BY NANCY BAHN Ramblewood Garden Club has awarded the Au≠ gust Yard of the Month to a lovely little English garden in the Sunset area of Cape Girardeau. Patricia Haenni has been planting this garden since the Haennií s bought the house 30 years ago. One of the Æ rst things a visitor will notice is the sweet smell of hundreds of Ø owers and plants growing in this lush green garden. A large bald cypress grows in the front yard. Mrs. Haenni recounted planting the small seedling from the Missouri Conservation Departmentí s Arbor Day contribution. She laugh≠ ingly advises taking into consideration the mature tree height when planting trees in your yard. Over the years, her yard has evolved

from a sunny area into a mostly shade garden. An orange Ø owering honey≠ suckle vine (Lonicera) adorns an arbor inviting entry to the sidewalk lined with ball≠ shaped Japanese holly. Many interesting bird, rabbit, and sweet angel statues and Æ lled pots, including a miniature table and chair set, are interspersed among the plants. Big blue Lirope Æ lls in spaces and outlines the center courtyard. A spring blooming pink azalea (Rhododendron) grows in the front with potted pink Begonias, evergreens of arborvitae (Thuja) and blue junipers (Juniperus) placed on either side of the porch. The yard is divided into well planned sec≠ tions, the side area being the wildØ ower garden, planted mostly with native

Growing here are service≠ berry tree (Amelanchier), red Ø owering bee balm (Monarda), yellow sweet pea (Lathyrus adoratus), pink and red coneØ owers (Echinacea), and black≠ eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta). Although some of the plants here are non≠ na≠ tive, such as the burgundy blooming butterØ y bush (Buddleia davidii) and the beautyberry (Callicarpa), the local fauna enjoy their Ø ora display. There are two solar powered bird baths in the garden, both using the suní s power to constantly bubble.

faith/community A song, a church and the NFL

t was more than 27 years ago when a United Meth≠ odist bishop sent me to serve a church in south St. Louis. The small congrega≠ tion, full of senior citizens, was wonderful to us ó and several folks became surro≠ gate grandparents to both our children, born during my tenure there. A lingering memory had to do with a hymn Ií d cho≠ sen as a closing song one Sunday morning. Describing it as the anthem of the civil rights movement, I invited the congregation to sing ì Lift Every Voice and Sing.î Just a few weeks earlier, retired football star O.J. Simpson had been accused of killing his ex≠ wife and one of her friends, a server in a Los Angeles≠ area restaurant. Simpsoní s long trial, which spanned most of 1995, was in the news every day ó and the celebrated athlete, you may recall, was acquitted of murder. If you were following current events in those days, you may remember the intense interest of the general public. Everybody had an opin≠ ion. The racial element of the case was front and center ó as Simpson was Black and his late spouse, Nicole, was white. As I invited congregants to sing the aforementioned song, part of the current United Methodist hymnal, I noticed that while some dutifully sang the tune at my instruction, dozens of

others sat in their pews with their arms crossed ñ not singing. Some looked at the Ø oor; others stared at me. I thought about that long≠ ago worship moment when I read last weekend that the National Football League has decided ì Lift Every Voice and Singî will be performed before every NFL game this season, along with the National Anthem. The Æ rst NFL contest of 2021, a pre≠ season game, was played Thursday in Canton, Ohio ñ as my

beloved and hometown Pittsburgh Steelers played the Dallas Cowboys. The decision to add the 121≠ year≠ old hymn, derived from a poem by James Wel≠ don Johnson, has been both lauded and derided. I have little doubt how at least some of the folks of the congregation I served as pastor from 1994≠ 1999, should they still be in this life, feel about the move. A few facts about the song. Johnsoní s brother, a composer, set the poem to music. The NAACP, in 1919, coined the song as ó the or≠ ganizationí s words not mine ó ì the Negro National An≠ them,î because the verses speak of liberation despite violence and tragedy. The originating story giving life to the lyrics is the ancient Old Testament story of the Israelites going from slavery in Egypt to freedom in the Promised Land of Canaan, now known as modern≠ day Israel. If a fair person examines the words to the song, it is difficult to imagine any ob≠ jection to them ñ especially if it is understood how the exodus experience of Israel inspired the tune. I will use the remaining space in this missive to Johnsoní s lyrics and invite your consideration of them. You may hear this song a lot during the NFL season, should the TV networks choose to let us hear it. Lift every voice and sing, till earth and heaven ring,

Ring with the harmonies of liberty. Let our rejoice rise, high as the listening skies, Let it resound loud as the rolling sea. Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us. Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us. Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, Let us march on till victo≠ ry is won. Stony the road we trod, bitter the chastening rod, Felt in the days when hope unborn had died. Yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet, Come to the place for which our fathers sighed? We have come over a way that with tears has been watered. We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered. Out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last, Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast. God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who has brought us thus far on the way. Thou who has by Thy might led us into the light, Keep us forever in the path, we pray. Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee. Lest our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee. Shadowed beneath Thy hand, may we forever stand, True to our God, true to our native land.

of a spouseó Jobí s wife did not support him through his struggles, instead encour≠ aged him to curse God and die. A bad marriage is worse than singleness. Friendsó We are bless≠ ed by friends who encour≠ age us during difficult times. In Jobí s case, his friends gave miserable and advice and added to his suffering. Sometimes friends forsake us. Self≠ worth and dignityó Job felt worthless. Every≠ thing upon which he based his self≠ worth was gone. We Æ nd self≠ worth in Godí s love for us, John 3:16. The Justice of Godó Job lost sense of conÆ dence in Godí s justice and becomes critical and cynical. We need to remember that state≠ ments and actions done by people in the Bible are not necessarily true or right, we must take them in con≠ text. Not everything Jobí s ì friendsî said was true. The Love of Godó Job lost sense of the love of God. He felt that there was a distance separating him from God, Jesus is the one who keeps us connected to the Father. 1 Timothy 2:5 says, ì For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.î Have you thought about how God has shielded you

with similar helps or bless≠ ings? Many of us turn from our faith at the Æ rst sign of difficulty, but Job refused to curse God no matter how bad circumstances became. He did question God, and eventually God revealed himself to Job. Can you say, like Job, ì I know my redeemer lives?î Job 19:25. The Roman soldier had a shield that was the size of a small door. Before the men would go to battle, wives would tell their husbands to come back carrying their shields, not carried on their shields. When soldiers were killed in battle, the shields were used to transport the bodies. The imagery in the pas≠ sage is of the devil shooting Æ ery darts at the person, but the shield extinguishes them all, Ephesians 6:16. This causes me to think of Israelí s Iron Dome. Our shield can make the enemy ineffective like Israeli tech≠ nology detects incoming missiles and shoots them down before they ever reach their targets. Sometimes we carry our faith, and sometimes faith carries us. Acknowledge your hedge of protection. If you lack faith, put your trust in Jesus and he will equip you. We need the shield of faith for spiritual warfare.

The Shield of Faith

s we continue to look at the equipment the Apostle Paul instructs us to put on for spiritual war≠ fare, we read that we are to take up the Shield of Faith. Previously, we considered the belt of truth, the breast≠ plate of righteousness and the gospel shoes that en≠ able us to stand Æ rm in the Christian faith. The Roman soldier would wear these items continuously. Be≠ ginning with the Shield of faith, the next three items were readily available, but not always in use. Some pastors and teachers have used sports to illustrate the difference between putting on and taking up. A baseball player puts on the uniform, belt, and cleats. The player takes up a glove on defense, a helmet, and a bat on of≠ fense. We think of a shield as something that protects us from harm. We do not consider all the things God shelters us with until we are without them. In the book of Job, Satan uses the idea of God putting a ì hedgeî of protection around Job as the basis for his accusation against him. He tells God that Job is only faithful because of the blessingsó take away the blessings, and Job will curse God. Job 1:9≠ 11. In his ì Through the

ne bird chased anoth≠ er as they scrambled toward the feeder. Their scrumptious entrees were laid out, neatly, within easy reach of the perches. The birds took a few bites, then Ø ew away, only to return for more, later. They were only worried about the now ó not what tomorrow held. Robins, blue jays and wrens Æ lled their stomachs with nour≠ ishment, just for today. They will let tomorrow take care of tomorrow. The longtime truism, ì one day at a timeî is deÆ ≠ nitely one worth pondering and ití s been extremely valuable in my life. Ií m amazed at the amount of people that are realizing the truth and comfort thatí s found within its meaningó myself includ≠ ed. If we could become like the birds and most other wild≠ life ó we too, would live less stressful lives. As the years have passed by for me, I recognize how important it is, to take things a little at a time ó to stop anticipating what may happen in weeks, years and a lifetime, ahead. Instead, I now, put my faith in God, and Jesusí s words of advice. I derive special comfort from His Sermon on the Mount. A particu≠ larly pertinent, useful, and stress≠ relieving assurance that Jesus offers is ì There≠ fore, take no thought about tomorrow, for tomorrow will take thought about the things of itself. Sufficient to the day is the trouble thereof (Matthew 6:34). How many take, seriously, the security and comfort thatë s offered in those words? If we could only believe that everything would be alright if we compressed our repertoire of expec≠ tations into one day Æ les. Norman Vincent Peale recommended in his book, ì The power of positive thinking,î to ì live in day≠ tight compartments.î Ah h, if we could only accom≠ plish that feat, most of our stress would go away. We would know that ití s possi≠ ble to get through ì just one day.î Most believe they can hold on a little bit longer to make it through 24 hours. Thatí s really all that is asked of us. Meditate on this and I assure you that your life will change for the better. I talked with a friend, Jennie, by text message recently. I had not commu≠ nicated with her in a while but I texted Jennie to wish her a happy birthday.

can do.î I was shocked and saddened by her news. I knew what hardship she would now face as a suddenly widowed woman, although I havení t faced such a heart≠ wrenching experience. I caught the words, she whispered, that described her state of mind, that day. ì One day at a time is about all I can do.î I believe that most of us can relate to the feelings she expressed. We may be going through dire circum≠ stances, presently, or we have endured situations where our emotions are strained to the limit. Our energy is gone and we wonder how long, or if, we can keep going. I took the time, after re≠ ceiving her response con≠ cerning her husband, and mediated on the words. Although the phrase, ì one day at a time,î can seem outdated and, perhaps, trite to some; I Æ nd that ad≠ vice from Jesusí s Sermon on the Mount to be every bit as useful as it ever was. To get through only one day doesní t seem nearly as difficult as facing the next week, month, or year, when weí re feeling alone, perhaps rejected, like a failure and distressed, period. Thankfully, we are advised to endure ì only one day at a time.î Knowing this, can bring an immeasurable amount of conÆ dence and peace. Now, I pay more attention to the birds conÆ dently eating, and I am awestruck as I watch them Ø y by. They have such avid trust in their ability, and they refuse to mar their days thinking about tomorrow. We can have an attitude like they, knowing that few things are insurmountable when we take small bites, small steps, and approach our problems, one step and one day at a time. Hopefully we can truly take the words to heart and stop rushing through life, ceasing to worry about what tomor≠ row might bring. Join me in trying.

Lydia Pobst of Jackson was one of 94 young wom≠ en selected to attend the 74th American Legion Auxiliary Girls Nation ses≠ sion held July 24 through 31 in Washington, D.C. As part of the premier ALA program, two outstanding high school seniors are selected to represent their respective state as ì sena≠ torsî at ALA Girls Nation after participating in one of 47 ALA Girls State sessions held across the country. ALA Girls Nation is a sev≠ en≠ day leadership confer≠ ence that provides aspiring young women leaders with practical insight into how the federal government operates, instills a sense of pride in our country, and promotes youth civic engagement. Many partic≠ ipants of the program go on to have careers in public service at the local, state, and national level. Pobst, a senior at Jack≠ son High School, was ac≠ tive in many ways during

her week at ALA Missouri Girls State. She also partic≠ ipates in many activities in her school and community. Pobst participated in mock senate sessions com≠ plete with caucuses and de≠ bating bills that range from personal to political inter≠ ests. Other activities on the agenda included a visit to Arlington National Cem≠ etery where they placed a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a com≠ munity service project and a tour of the D.C. monu≠ ments. ì ALA Girls Nation is a once≠ in≠ a≠ lifetime oppor≠ tunity for our nationí s fu≠ ture leaders to learn about the inner workings of the federal government before they are of voting age,î said Wendy Riggle, ALA Girls Nation Committee chair≠ man. ì After attending their local ALA Girls State pro≠ gram and then ALA Girls Nation, the girls return home ready to be engaged citizens at all levels of gov≠ ernment.î

A mobile home at the Montgomery Mobile Home Sales between Chaffee and Dutchtown was overturned and others were slightly damaged during a storm July 15, 1971.

Morgue From Page 1C Kenneth E. Hartung, manager of the Cape Girardeau office said tele≠ phone calls needing opera≠ tor assistance were heavy until about 9:30 Wednesday night before tapering off. But then the storm hit. Trouble developed in the lines at Bonne Terre and Desloge. Some of the super≠ visory staff started work on the lines there. By 9 a.m. today, reports of trouble throughout Southeast Mis≠ souri were coming into the district office here, he said. ì Lines all over the district are down and some people in Cape Girardeau are reporting their telephones are out of service this morning,î Mr. Hartung said. Calls came from Jackson, Marble Hill, Charleston, Chaffee and other places. ì We are working hard, trying to keep up. Some answers to those dialing the operator may be slow, but we seem to be getting the calls through all right with the cooperation of our cus≠ tomers.,î Mr. Hartung said. Supervisory personnel will be out in various areas today attempting to put the telephone lines back in service, he added. In the immediate Cape Girardeau area mild thunderstorms started at 8 Wednesday night, turn≠ ing to heavy thunder and lightning from shortly after midnight to 7 a.m. today. For almost 11 hours there was continuous rainfall varying from moderate to heavy showers. The Feder≠ al Aviation Agency Ø ight service station reported .03≠ inch of moisture fell there before midnight with 3.46

History From Page 1C either returned home only brieØ y or never returned, possibly taking up a life of Indian Æ ghting, trapping and trading. A George Yount, possibly George C., sold his claim to the land of Jacob Yount to John Yount in 1820 in Cape Girardeau County (Deed Book F, page 88). After the War of 1812, Yount went further west to Howard County, Missouri. At that time, Howard Coun≠ ty included much of north≠

inches rain from midnight to 7 this morning. At Missouri Utilities power plant, 800 N. Main St., 3.5 inches of rain were recorded from midnight to 7. A resident on Dorothy Street said their gauge showed 4.10 inches of rain throughout the night. Strongest winds at the Cape Girardeau airport were registered at 12:30 a.m. when they came in from the northwest at 15 miles per hour, gusting to 40 miles, the Ø ight service station said. High temperature Wednesday was 89 degrees with the low this morning 68 degrees.

Lines down Paul Rice, distribution manager for Missouri Utilities Co., said the storm caused relatively minor dif≠ Æ culty with electric power failures in the immediate Cape Girardeau area. Ma≠ jor trouble points were to the south of this city. Inside the city limits, Mr. Rice said, individual lines were down in scattered locations and customers were without power for various periods of time. Four utility poles went down in the Dutchtown community and a number of poles were broken off, carrying power lines to the ground, at Chaffee. Mr. Rice said there were probably 20 or more poles broken or blown over at Charleston. He said work crews were called out at midnight and will be working throughout the day repairing lines and replacing poles.

developed at the usual trouble spots during heavy rains. Mr. McDowell said all the departmentí s work result≠ ed from high water as trees and buildings withstood the winds hitting inside the city. The Independence≠ King≠ shighway intersection was under water for a time as other spots along Indepen≠ dence gave motorists trou≠ ble. Water also accumulat≠ ed in spots on Broadway and other streets. One of the major trouble spots was the Sherwood≠ Briarwood area where surface water entered a broken sanitary sewer line, backing up in a number of residentsí basements. A resident in the 2200 block of Sherwood said it is his understanding the sani≠ tary sewer line was broken when the utilities company was placing a water line to a new subdivision off Perryville Road. He said the broken line was wrapped with tar paper, but had not yet been repaired. Some basements in the 2100 and 2200 blocks of Sherwood had inches of water with damage vary≠ ing. Part of the residents reported they have carpet≠ ing on the basement Ø oors and it is probably ruined by the water. Reports were that houses on this section of Briar≠ wood were having the same difficulty. Employees of the City Public Works Depart≠ ment were working at the site this morning.

Chaffee hard hit

Supt. L.R. McDowell of the City Public Works Department, said he called work crews out at 2:30 a.m. today when problems

Mobile homes and utilities operations seemed to be the hardest hit by heavy winds in the Chaffee≠ Blomeyer area. Trees and limbs were blown down in most places,

George married Eliza Wilds in Howard County on Oct. 18, 1818. He apparently did have possession of 160 acres in Howard County at one time, which he mortgaged (along with two copper stills) to pay off a $200 debt co≠ signed by his father≠ in≠ law Robert Wilds in 1824. Yount later claimed a neighbor to whom he had entrusted his money stole it, and he had to return

to trading and trapping to make a livelihood. He claimed to have set out for Santa Fe, and did haul freight on the Santa Fe Trail. He left his family permanently in about 1827. Although he later claimed he and Eliza agreed and he left what he had with the family, she initiated divorce proceedings in 1829. Eliza claimed George had ì ...will≠ fully deserted and absented himself [from her] without any reasonable cause, for the space of two years...î The court granted the divorce on July 10, 1830. George trapped in New Mexico and Arizona, and later he claimed he joined

Another patrolman said nothing was twisted that much and there were no sightings of tornadoes. He added if one had passed over the area, there were no reports or evidence of it touching down at Chaffee. Meanwhile this morn≠ ing, most of Chaffee was without electricity or lights as power lines coming into the city were down. The northern half of the city and the downtown area were completely without power, while the southwest≠ ern section of the city was affected for only two hours. Missouri Utilities work≠ ers in the area this morn≠ ing reported poles knocked down and power lines snapped in areas along Highway 74 near Blomeyer and outside Chaffee. One crew reported they had worked on six power line poles in less than a mile this morning that had been blown down. At Montgomery Mobile Home Sales in Blomeyer, owned by Morris Mont≠ gomery, two house trailers had been blown over on their sides, one lying in a ditch in a foot of water de≠ posited by the heavy rains accompanying the wind. Other damages there were extensive. To read the rest of this blog, go to semissourian. com/blogs/ and to see more photos, go to semissourian. com/gallery/1971≠ storm

the expedition of William Wolfskill to California. While this is unconÆ rmed, he was in California by 1831, when he converted to Catholicism and adopted the Spanish name Jorge ConcepciÛ n. He became a Mexican citizen and received a land grant, Cay≠ mus Rancho, in the Napa Valley in 1836. When the Æ rst American immigrants arrived in 1841, he sent for his children. His daughters arrived in 1843, but his son had apparently never forgiven him and stayed in Missouri. George remarried in 1855 and died at his home at Yountsville, California, Oct. 5, 1865.

allergic reaction. InØ ammation and swelling affect the auditory nerve, and also interfere with the proper functioning of the Ø uid and Æ ne hairs in the vestibular system. As a result, they receive garbled input relating to movement and balance and send that misinfor≠ mation to the brain. The symptoms of labyrinthitis include dizziness, vertigo, impaired balance, a sense of spinning or falling, or nausea. If inØ ammation affects the cochlea, tinni≠ tus and hearing loss are possible, as well. Treatment depends on the individualí s speciÆ c symptoms, age and general health. These can include medications such as corticosteroids to reduce inØ ammation, antiviral

medications to combat the infection, and medications to control nausea and alle≠ viate dizziness. In most cases, labyrin≠ thitis resolves over time and doesní t cause lasting problems. Although your case is lasting longer than what is usually seen, your continued improvement is encouraging. The feeling of fullness you describe suggests the middle ear may be involved. If you havení t already done so, you should speak with your health care provider about it. If a bacterial infection is suspected, antibiotics may be prescribed. Patients who experience ongoing symptoms of lab≠ yrinthitis can beneÆ t from an exercise program known as vestibular rehabilitation.

This involves exercises that help the brain learn to cope with the altered signals it is receiving from the vestibu≠ lar system. If your symp≠ toms persist, we recom≠ mend you ask your doctor for a referral to a vestibular rehab specialist.

Cast iron skillets

lmost 50 years ago, Marge and I were mar≠ ried in Hyannis, Nebras≠ ka. One of our gifts from Margeí s parents was a No. 7 cast iron Wagner skillet. It wasní t a new skillet, but it was one that had been and was being used. It was ready to fry bacon or a hamburger or a steak or an egg in. It was seasoned and ready. Great gift. Better than a new one. Down through the years, we have tried the non≠ stick skillets with coatings that never come off. Ha! It does! How many of these non≠ stick wonders have been sold and how much of this TeØ on or which wonder coating have we eaten? But that old No. 7 Wagner skillet looks as good now as it did 50 years ago. Marge and I each have our favorite skillets when we cook. The sizes of the skillets are characterized by numbers from No. 2 through, say, No. 12. Larger

RENNIE PHILLIPS Phillips began life as a cowboy, then husband and father, carpenter, a minister, gardener and writer. He may be reached at phil≠ lipsrb@hotmail. com. ones are available, but they are usually two≠ handed skil≠ lets. Marge prefers a No. 7 or No. 8 or a No. 10. My go≠ to is a No. 12. My No. 12 is too big and heavy for Marge to

handle by the single handle. All the skillets we use now are older ì antiques.î Cast iron cookware is made by mixing together pig iron and steel and other chemicals to raise the level of carbon in the molten mix≠ ture, which is then poured into a mold made of sand. Once the metal has cooled, the sand mold is broken away from the newly cast piece of cookware, which leaves behind a brand new piece, but rough. These piec≠ es of new cookware are then smoothed and made ready for their new owners. The smoother the cookware, the easier they are to cook on. According to what Ií ve read, the Æ rst use of cast iron cookware was in China back about 220 A.D. It wasní t until the 16th century that cast iron cookware became popular in Europe, which spread to America. One writer said that to settlers in the U.S., cast iron cook≠ ware was more valuable

than gold. This popularity increased until in the 1900s, when non≠ stick cookware became the craze and pop≠ ular. There seems to be a resur≠ gence of interest in the old ways and the use of cast iron cookware, which just makes sense. There are no coatings to wear off or to scratch, so it is really durable. You can fry in it or bake in it or go from the stove top burner into the oven. You can crank up the heat and sear a steak or a roast. Add some peanut oil and fry Æ sh. Cast iron cookware comes in virtually all types of cookware from roasters to skillets with legs and lids to match. Some of the lids are made so you can add charcoal and bake in them. It seems that those who use the old cast iron cook≠ ware are a little bit (a lot!) fanatical. Some say you simply caní t ever use soap in them, none, nada. Marge and I do. We doní t get the

Ajax out and scrub away, but we use a little kitchen soap. We may use one of those metal scrub deals, but it doesní t hurt the cast iron. Ití s tough. But then we use our skillets daily. Cast iron cookware needs to be seasoned, if you will. Some say to get it clean and then heat it up pretty hot and then wipe grease all over the inside of the cast iron. Some say to stick it in a 400 to 500 degree oven and then bake with grease smeared in it. Marge and I pretty much just use ours. We fry bacon in them or sausage or pork chops or pork steaks, which will season the cast iron. Marge has fried many a piece of pork or a good beef steak in ours and then made gravy in the same skillet. Or heat the skillet up until ití s pretty hot, pour in some corn bread batter and then bake it. Lip smacking good. Doní t have a cast iron skillet? Get one or two!

DEAR ABBY

Visit from boyfriend’s mom comes with uncertainty Dear Abby: My wonderful boyfriend and I have been together for nearly a year and EANNE a half. We HILLIPS have lived together al≠ most since Day One. This is the sec≠ ond major relationship for both of us. (He is divorced). Heís planning a trip back home to visit family and take care of some business deals. I will not be going with him on this trip. When he returns, his mother will be coming with him. The issue is, thereís no deÆnit e return date for her. She overstayed her welcome in the past (be≠ fore we were together) and turned a two≠w eek stay into seven months. Iím a very solitary per≠ son. I like being around my boyfriend and no one else on a regular basis.

J P

I donít mind her coming to visit, but Iím e xtreme≠ ly anxious because she hasnít set a date to re≠ turn home. I have made clear to my boyfriend that I do not want her staying longer than two weeks, which he is Æ ne with, so Iím no t the wicked witch here. I just donít know how to nice≠ ly broach the subject with her and convey that we would like her visit to be on the brief side. I admit Iím no t the most tactful person when it comes to deli≠ cate topics. I tend to be blunt and I have been described as ì honest to a faultî before. How can this subject be brought up without hurting any≠ oneís feelings? I want to be able to enjoy time with her while sheís here, not worry about when sheíl l leave. Angst≠ Ridden in New Jersey Dear Angst≠R idden: In light of the fact that you

tend to be ìpl ain≠ spoken,î you should not be the person to discuss this with your boyfriendí s mother. It would be more appropriate for her son to have ìthe talkî w ith her so all of you know what the parameters will be and the message is delivered with tact. Dear Abby: My hus≠ band of 42 years passed away two years ago. His children and I get along Æ ne, but when he was alive, they never ac≠ knowledged our anniver≠ sary. Now that their dad is gone, they send me anniversary cards each year on the date. I Æ nd it annoying that they never thought to wish us ì Happy Anniversa≠ ryî while he was alive, which he would have loved. I suspect they just do it to try to stay on my good side and perhaps stay in my will. How do I politely tell them to stop, that their cards only remind me that my darling is gone

and they never acknowl≠ edged our marriage when it would have actu≠ ally meant something? Distressed Stepmom Dear Distressed: Please accept my sympa≠ thy for the loss of your beloved husband. After 42 years, the adjustment must be a very painful one. Because you want to be polite ó and perhaps maintain a cordial (if not loving) relationship with his children, convey that you would prefer they not send anniversary cards ìbec ause they are a painful reminder of his loss at a sensitive time.î R ESIST the urge to point out that they failed to acknowledge the occasion during their fatherí s lifetime.

The tax rates are set to produce the revenues from the property tax required by the budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2021. Each tax rate is determined by dividing the amount of revenue needed by the current assessed valuation. The result is multiplied by 100 so the tax rate will be expressed in cents per $100 valuation.

REAL ESTATE NOTEBOOK

Popularity of multigenerational homes increases The popularity of multigenerational homes increased over the last year, as a rising number of homebuyers purchased larger residences compared to prior years, including millennials who continue to make up the largest share of homebuyers at 37%. This finding is revealed in the National Association of RealtorsÆ í most recent study on the characteristics of homebuyers, the 2021 Home Buyers and Sellers Generational Trends report. Millennials have been the largest share of buyers since NARí s 2014 report. The most recent data shows that 82% of younger millennials and 48% of older millennials were first≠ time homebuyers, more than other age groups. According to the study, during the last year, 18% of homebuyers between the ages of 41 to 65 purchased a multigenerational home ñ a home that will house adult siblings, adult children, parents or grandparents. ì There are a variety of reasons why large families and extended families are opting to live together, one of which is

that ití s a great way to save money,î said Jessica Lautz, NARí s vice president of demographics and behavioral insights. ì Also, in light of the pandemic, many grandparents and older relatives found that being under a single roof ñ quarantining with family rather than away ñ worked out better for them.î

a neighborhood. Out of all buyers, 88% cited a real estate agent as an information source they used during their home search. ì RealtorsÆ continue to be an integral part of both the homebuying and the home selling process,î said National Association of REALTORSÆ President Charlie Oppler. ì Buyers and sellers should understand that we can assist with every part of the real estate transaction, from finding or listing a property, securing a loan and sorting through the exhaustive paperwork.î For more information, visit the Southeast Missouri REALTORSÆ website, www.semorealtors.org.

BACK TO SCHOOL

Like gardening in general, school gardening has become hugely popular during the pandemic BY KATHERINE ROTH

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Like gardening in general, school gardening has become hugely popular during the pandemic, with families and teachers saying its hands≠ on lessons can be applied to many subjects. Finding the expertise, labor and funding to keep a school garden going can be tough. But some experts and teach≠ ers are Æ nding creative ways to make it work. ì Gardens are a great way to get kids outside with a pur≠ pose. With gardens, kids get to see a beginning, a middle and an end to their project, with tangible results,î said Susan Hobart, a retired elementary school teacher at Lake View Elementary School in Madison, Wiscon≠ sin, who now oversees the schoolí s large garden with 12 raised beds. ì The gardens relax the kids and give them a whole different perspective they wouldní t have just sitting at desk,î she said. Each spring, the schoolí s program gets plant seedlings grown through a training program at a nearby state prison. A church group comes during spring break to prepare the garden for the kidsí return, and over the summer, an AmeriCorps volunteer takes care of the garden. ì If we had to buy the seed≠ lings, theyí d cost $3 each and we could never afford that,î Hobart said. ì If you take a look at your relationships and the community around you and then all the wider networks out there, there are plenty of creative ways to Æ nd help.î Interest in school gardens spiked dramatically when Michelle Obama planted a

Thereí s been another burst of interest since the pandem≠ ic started. School gardens can teach hands≠ on lessons in health, science, social studies, and even humanities and arts classes. ì Luckily, the big trend now is that there are more and more organizations and support networks, particular≠ ly regional networks, to help support school gardens,î said Adams. ì And online learning has really exploded since the pandemic.î ì Giving kids the opportuni≠ ty to move outside, get their hands dirty, and Æ nd worms, especially if their teachers are excited about it ñ thatí s huge,î he said. For schools without space for even a small garden, turn≠ ing to local botanical gardens and parks can sometimes be the answer. ì We are located in the

Bronx, which is basical≠ ly wall to wall six≠ story apartment buildings. Thereí s limited space, and vandalism, and ití s hard to Æ nd a good place to gather 30 kids, not to mention issues like water access,î said Adams. ì Gardening doesní t have to be a big patch outdoors. It could be a container garden, a hydroponic garden ñ there are all kinds of gardens and ways it can work,î he said. Hobart suggests Æ nding a Master Gardener program, sometimes offered through universities, since graduates must put in a number of hours of free labor to earn their certiÆ cation. ì Ití s taken us 10 years to get here, but we did it,î she said. Nathan Larson, who leads the Cultivate Health Initia≠ tive, a collaborative project involving the University of Wisconsin≠ Madison and statewide partners to support Wisconsiní s school gardens, said his ì ahaî moment came when he realized the group was supporting two gardens within 5 miles of each other, and neither knew the other existed. ì It became clear that

At the national level, two major resources for school gardens are The National Farm to School Network and the School Garden Support Organization Network. Thereí s also the National Children and Youth Garden Symposium, organized by the American Horticulture Society to train teachers and others. The symposium is held in a different part of the country each year; the past two years, it was held online. Life Lab, based in Santa Cruz, California, offers

workshops for educators across the country on how to engage young people in gardens and on farms. The Junior Master Gardener Program is a youth garden≠ ing program run by Texas A&M Universityí s coopera≠ tive Extension network. Oth≠ er resources for teachers and others include the National COVID≠ 19 Outdoor Learn≠ ing Initiative, the Edible Schoolyard Network, Slow Food USA School Garden Network and Big Green. Ron Finley has been an outspoken supporter of the transformative powers of teaching city kids about seeds and growing. His non≠ proÆ t Ron Finley Project aims to ì change the culture around food.î
