Juden stepping down as Missouri’s safety director ASSOCIATED PRESS JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Missouri public safety director Drew Juden is stepping down at the end of the month, the first top holdover from former Gov. Eric Greitens’ staff to leave since Greitens resigned and Mike Parson took over as governor. Greitens picked Juden to lead the agency shortly before he took office in January 2017. It wasn’t immediately clear why Juden was leaving the position, which pays $116,000 annually. Kelli Jones, spokeswoman

New Cape clinic to help opioid addicts BY MARYBETH NIEDERKORN

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN A new clinic in Cape Girardeau aims to help patients battling an opioid addiction. Brightstone Medical, a medication-assisted therapy clinic, opened Aug. 6 at 36 Doctors’ Park, suite 2, according to a company news release. In 2017 alone, Missouri saw 951 deaths from opioid overdose, according to opioid.mo.gov. Six of those deaths were in Cape Girardeau County, according to earlier reporting by the Southeast Missourian. The need for opioid-related treatment options spurred the clinic’s open-

ing, company spokesman Robbie Spurlock said. “Just about every health-care provider is experiencing some aspect of the opioid problem,” Spurlock said. “People don’t know what to do, and there isn’t a lot available in our region.” The clinic’s founders saw an opportunity to help give back to the community by helping people fight back against dependence on opioid painkillers, Spurlock added. “We’re looking at a bigger picture [treatment] rather than focusing just on the addiction,” Tony Thompson, one of Brightstone’s founders, and CEO See CLINIC, Page 5A

for Parson, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch the governor “was just looking for a different approach.” She declined to be more specific and did not immediately respond to Associated Press requests for comment Friday. The Southeast Missourian also sent questions to Jones regarding Juden’s departure. Answers to those questions were not returned as of 5 p.m. Friday. Parson in a statement called Juden a “well accomplished public servant” and wished him well. Juden did not immediately comment. Missouri State Highway

Patrol superintendent Col. Sandra Karsten will take on his responsibilities as acting public safety director on top of her work leading the patrol. Greitens, a Republican, resigned June 1 after months of legal and ethical investigations. He faced possible impeachment, a since-dismissed felony charge for invasion of privacy against a woman with whom he had an affair in 2015, and investigations over possible campaign fundraising irregularities.

Church picnic studied as salmonella outbreak hits 50 BY TYLER GRAEF

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN Authorities are investigating a possible connection between an ongoing salmonella outbreak and a recent church picnic as the number of confirmed sick in Perry County has risen to 50. Sheila Hahs, Perry County Health Department communicable-disease coordinator, said Friday no cause has been determined. Hahs said the department continues to work with the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS), which has begun distributing a survey seeking in-depth information about the behavior of individuals who attended the St. Vincent de Paul Seminary Picnic Aug. 3, 4 and 5. The introduction to the 45-question online survey, titled “Church Picnic Salmonella Outbreak 2018,” states at least some of the reported ill attended the picnic. The survey asks participants to detail any symptoms, treatments, whether they brought or prepared food at the picnic and which foods, if any, they consumed while there. Hahs said the survey is a starting point, after which representatives from the Perry County Health Department See OUTBREAK, Page 4A

Region & State Church to provide school supplies, clothing, appliances BY JOSHUA HARTWIG

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN Zion United Methodist Church on Route Z in Gordonville is hosting its fifth annual Great Gordonville Giveaway from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. Saturday, along with a free pancake and sausage breakfast to benefit those in need throughout Southeast Missouri. Kevin Denton, Zion United Methodist Church serve committee co-chairman, said the “free garage sale” is made possible by donations from church members and the surrounding community. “We go through and set up everything for people to come in on Saturday morning,” Denton said. “Anything that they want or may need, they can pick up for no charge.” In addition to the free breakfast, Denton said the church also will host activities for children, along with demonstrations and activities provided by the sheriff’s department. Denton said donations have been collected for the last month, and he and the church staff have spent the

Regional planning commission seeks input SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN The Southeast Missouri Regional Planning Commission is seeking the public’s help in drafting a new five-year development plan. The commission, which serves Bollinger, Cape Girardeau, Iron, Madison, Perry, St. Francois and Ste. Genevieve counties, intends to use the plan, called a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy, to address a variety of public issues, including “transportation, recreation, housing, lack of specific types of businesses or any other perceived needs or problems,” according to a news release.

Once completed, the CEDS will articulate the commission’s up-to-date objectives and serve as a reference for specific work items over the next five years. To submit suggestions to the committee, email Drew Christian at dchristian@semorpc.org, Leslie Seabaugh at lseabaugh@ semorpc.org or send mail to the Southeast Missouri Regional Planning Commission, P.O. Box 366, Perryville, MO 63775. Suggestions may also be made by phone at (573) 547-8357. Submitters should provide contact information in case follow-up conversation is required for a certain proposal.

All donations are separated by category, including men’s items, women’s items, and children’s toys and clothes, Denton said. Raffle tickets also will be available Saturday morning,

he said, offering a chance for people to win larger furniture items such as a range and refrigerator. Denton said there is no charge for the raffle tickets. “We also have 200 pre-

made packs of hygiene products, with shampoo, toothpaste, deodorant and school supplies,” Denton said. “We went through the school supply list and picked out more of the expensive items.” Denton said last year there were 150 bags of needed supplies prepared, “and we ran out.” He estimated between 250 and 300 people at last year’s event, and Denton said he’s expecting the same or more Saturday.

Kansas City Zoo keeps special rhino hidden from public ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Zoo has a special rhino that’s kept out of sight, hardly ever seen by the public. An eastern black rhinoceros named Imara doesn’t roam the species’ exhibit and she’s never on display. Imara instead spends all day inside a barn or a small shaded pen because of a skin condition making it dangerous to be in the sun, the Kansas City Star reported. “She had a loss of melanin granules in the basal layer of her skin,” said Kirk Suedmeyer, the zoo’s head veterinarian. Zoo keepers noticed

Outbreak From Page 1A will conduct individual follow-up interviews with people who were sickened. Karen Clifton, Perry County Health Department environmental public health specialist, said the data-gathering process will take time. “According to [DHSS], there’s just a lot of data that they have to review, so

one of Imara’s nostrils turned pink when she was 2 years old. The pink coloring eventually “progressed to her face and her neck and her limbs,” Suedmeyer said. Ultraviolet light therapy helped Imara regain pigment in her skin. But years later, her skin lost pigment again, and she began burning and blistering in the sun. A biopsy revealed her condition, which makes her skin vulnerable to direct sunlight. Rhino species experts recommended Imara not be bred since her condition may be genetic. Because Imara can’t be paired with any of the other rhinos, she keeps com-

It’s very specific.” Megan Hopkins, chief of the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services Office of Public Information, said in an email Friday the survey focused on the picnic is “the only online survey used for this particular investigation.” “Online surveys are used when a large number of individuals may have had the exposure of concern, as occurred in this instance,”

pany with humans. “If this was a herd animal and it was going to be alone for the rest of its life, we might have a difference of opinion here,” said Sean Putney, senior director of zoo operations. “But rhinos really are loners. After they are raised by mom, they go off on their own. So being alone isn’t necessarily an issue.” Animal manager Katie Muninger said zookeepers have developed a special bond with Imara. “Not only do we give her toys to play with and other types of enrichment, we socialize with her every day, as long as we can,” Muninger said. “She’s a very special rhino.”

Hopkins wrote. She reiterated a cause has not been determined, but did not provide any other specific possible sources of the outbreak. “It should be noted that sometimes outbreak investigations have inconclusive findings, meaning a likely source cannot be identified,” she wrote. Clifton urged all residents to help curtail the possible spread of infection by doubling down on basic hygiene practices. “Wash [your] hands as

U.S. ends Syria stabilization funding, cites more allied cash BY MATTHEW LEE

ASSOCIATED PRESS

FRED LYNCH ~ flynch@semissourian.com

Brightstone Medical LLC is seen Friday at 36 Doctors Park, Suite 2, in Cape Girardeau.

Clinic From Page 1A of EBO MD, said by phone Friday. “We’re looking at a different approach to get people off of the revolving-door approach — trying to provide other resources and primary care to address underlying concerns.” Brightstone accepts referrals from other health-care providers, and can provide assistance navigating the new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention prescribing guidelines around opiates, according to the release. Referrals may also come from courts or other state agencies. “At Brightstone, once a patient is established and doing well with their plan, they can come less frequently,” Thompson said in the release. “Not having to come daily allows our patients to participate normally with their families — and with their employers.” Mike Stevenson, DO, Brightstone’s medical director, said in the release, “Once

All the while the patient is observed for safety and how medications are working. Once the patient is stable, the follow-ups can be lengthened out accordingly.” Each plan will be tailored to fit individual needs, the release stated. Brightstone staff can also help patients file insurance claims, according to the release.

Cape Girardeau County, nine other Missouri counties and the City of Joplin have filed suit against pharmaceutical companies over the opioid epidemic. The suit was filed Aug. 1 in St. Louis circuit court, and seeks damages for “reimbursement of public costs expended fighting this opioid epidemic and a claim for future costs.”

COLUMBIA, Mo. — The Islamic Center of Central Missouri in Columbia is finally moving forward with an expansion project after nearly two decades of planning. The Planning and Zoning Commission approved building a two-story facility behind the center’s mosque and school. The Columbia City Council will need to sign off on the expansion project in coming weeks, the Columbia Missourian reported. The community has outgrown the center’s existing space, said Imam Misbahu Musbahu. The center some-

times has to split worshippers into two sections to fit everyone. The new building will contain classrooms, a gym, kitchen, storage space and bathrooms. The facility is intended to support the Islamic Center’s efforts to donate food for the homeless and help refugees with language barriers and job hunting. The expansion project is estimated to cost $800,000 or more, according to outreach coordinator Shakir Hamoodi. The center’s leaders need about $400,000 to begin construction, and they’re already halfway there, Hamoodi said. “I really hope it final-

ly happens, because this mosque is getting really, really small for our community,” said Farah El-Jayyousi, who started a LaunchGood campaign to help fund the expansion project. The online crowdfunding campaign has generated more than $130,000 so far, mostly through small donations under $10, El-Jayyousi said. “In our faith, there is a saying by the Prophet Muhammad that the best deeds are those that are done consistently even if they are small,” she said. The center hopes to begin construction in November.

ership on the global stage.” “By ending U.S. contributions to stabilization efforts in the most vulnerable Syrian communities recently liberated from the terrors of ISIS, this message of U.S. retreat and abandonment is an embarrassment,” he said. Democrats on the House Foreign Affairs Committee concurred, calling the move “astonishingly shortsighted.” In a tweet, they said it was an indication of a “lack of US leadership” that is “undercutting US interests in Syria and around the world.” In a bid to reassure its partners in the coalition against IS as well as opponents of Syrian President Bashar Assad, Pompeo appointed veteran diplomatic troubleshooter James Jeffrey to be a special envoy for Syria, Nauert said. Jeffrey, a former U.S. ambassador to Turkey, Iraq and Albania, who also served as a deputy national security adviser to President George W. Bush, will hold the title of “special representative for Syrian engagement.” Jeffrey, who retired in 2012, also holds the highest rank in the U.S. Foreign Service: career ambassador. He will lead U.S. efforts to reinvigorate a long-stalled peace effort known as the “Geneva Process” among Assad, the opposition and other countries with equities in Syria, Nauert said.

I would like to Thank the people of Cape Girardeau County for the support I received in the primary election. I am honored and blessed to be your Republican candidate for Missouri House District 146th Representative.

Columbia Islamic Center moves forward with expansion project ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is ending funding for Syria stabilization projects as it moves to extricate the U.S. from the conflict, citing increased contributions from anti-Islamic State coalition partners. The State Department said it had notified Congress on Friday it would not spend some $230 million that had been planned for Syria programs and would instead shift the money to other areas. Most of that money, initially pledged by former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson in February, had been on hold and under review since he was fired in March. A small fraction of that amount was released in June. State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said the cut, which was authorized by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and does not include humanitarian aid funds, will be more than offset by an additional $300 million pledged by coalition partners, including $100 million Saudi Arabia announced it had contributed late Thursday. “As a result of key partner contributions by coalition members, Secretary Pompeo has authorized the Department of State to redirect approximately

$230 million in stabilization funds for Syria which have been under review,” she said in a statement. Nauert said Pompeo’s decision took into account the White House’s desire to increase burden sharing with allies. The funds will be redirected “to support other key foreign policy priorities,” said Nauert, who along with other officials rejected suggestions the elimination of the funds showed diminishing U.S. interest in Syria. Nauert, along with David Satterfield, the acting assistant secretary of state for the Middle East, and Brett McGurk, the special envoy for the anti-IS coalition, told reporters on a conference call the U.S. would remain active in Syria until the Islamic State has been defeated. “This decision does not represent any lessening of U.S. commitment to our strategic goals in Syria,” Nauert said. Still, the move was seen as a sign the administration is heeding Trump’s demand to end U.S. involvement in Syria and reduce its commitment there. Sen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, denounced what he said amounted to Trump “sprinting down the path of abdicating American lead-

Prosecutor won’t charge Greitens despite ethics panel review ASSOCIATED PRESS JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — An ethics panel said there’s reason to believe former Gov. Eric Greitens broke the law over how his campaign reported a donor list it obtained from a charity he founded. But the Missouri Ethics Commission director in a Friday letter wrote the local prosecutor won’t press charges. Cole County Prosecutor Mark Richardson said he didn’t find evidence of “willful misrepresentation” over when The Mission Continues donor list was reported. Greitens resigned in June amid scandals, including questions about the donor list. Greitens amended his finance reports to show the list as a donation from a campaign worker, who has said he was duped into taking the fall. Greitens’ campaign attorney Catherine Hanaway noted Greitens has left office and said it’s time to move on.

Slain Colorado children found submerged in oil for four days BY KATHLEEN FOODY AND JONATHAN DREW

1968

DAVID ZALUBOWSKI ~ Associated Press

Tributes grow Thursday outside the home where a pregnant woman and her two daughters lived in Frederick, Colorado. The woman’s husband has been arrested in the disappearance of the woman and children. Authorities say they have found the woman’s body and believe they have found the remains of the girls. as they curled up to watch cartoons. Authorities are expected to file formal charges Monday against Watts, an oil and gas worker who authorities said dumped his wife and daughters’ bodies on his employer’s property. Police said the mother, Shanann, was found dead on property owned by Anadarko Petroleum, one of the state’s largest oil and gas drillers, where 33-year-old Christopher Watts worked as an operator. Investigators found the bodies of Bella and Celeste nearby. Watts was fired on Wednesday, the same day he was arrested, the company said. He did not respond to reporters’ questions when he was escorted into the courtroom Thursday. Merson, Watts’ attorney through the Colorado State

Public Defender’s Office, left Thursday’s court hearing without commenting to reporters. He did not respond to multiple messages seeking comment by The Associated Press. Police have not released any information about a motive or how the three were killed. The family’s two-story home is just outside Frederick, a small town on the grassy plains north of Denver, where fast-growing subdivisions intermingle with drilling rigs and oil wells. A June 2015 bankruptcy filing depicts a family caught between a promising future and financial strain. Christopher Watts had gotten a job six months earlier as an operator for Anadarko, and paystubs indicate his annual salary was about $61,500. Shanann

Watts was working in a call center at a children’s hospital at the time, earning about $18 an hour — more for evenings, weekends or extra shifts she sometimes worked. The couple had a combined income of $90,000 in 2014. But they also had tens of thousands of dollars in credit card debt, along with some student loans and medical bills — for a total of $70,000 in unsecured claims on top of a sizable mortgage. They said in the filing their nearly $3,000 mortgage and $600 in monthly car payments formed the bulk of their $4,900 in monthly expenses. Christopher Watts, who is being held without bail, was arrested on suspicion of three counts of murder and three counts of tampering with evidence.

“It was absolutely clear that the mom’s life was in jeopardy, as well as potentially the children, and so in that situation we absolutely support the right of somebody to defend themselves and others with deadly force,” he said. “I commend the 15-year-old for doing a very difficult thing by saving her mom’s and siblings’ lives and showing an amazing amount of maturity.” Authorities say Kelley was a convicted felon originally from Indiana with a history of domestic violence accusations. Kelley, the woman and her three children had recently moved to North Carolina from Indiana. Kelley had attacked the woman Aug. 4 “and fired multiple rounds from a firearm inside the residence to threaten and terrorize” her,

according to a news release by the sheriff and district attorney. He had also threatened her multiple times before, and faced active domestic violence protection orders sought by two different women in Ohio and Indiana, the release said. Kelley was strangling the woman and threatening to cut her throat when the woman’s 12-year-old son retrieved the revolver, according to the news release. Authorities say the boy’s 15-year-old sister took the gun from him and fired it twice into Kelley’s chest. The third sibling, a 16-year-old girl, was grazed in the leg and treated at a hospital and released. The mother also had “significant bruises” from the assault by Kelley, the sheriff’s office said.

RALEIGH, N.C. — A teenage girl drew upon gun training from her late father to fatally shoot an abusive boyfriend who was strangling her mother earlier this month in North Carolina, a prosecutor said Friday. Steven Kelley, 46, was found dead by deputies who responded Aug. 8 to a call about a shooting at the house in the North Carolina foothills west of Charlotte, authorities said. He was shot twice and killed by his girlfriend’s 15-year-old daughter after he attacked the woman and threatened to kill her and her three children in the home they all shared, the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office said. The children’s late father

A 50-foot crack developed in the Fayville-Miller City agricultural levee near Olive Branch, Illinois, yesterday; Corps of Engineers officials are hoping to stop the leak by filling it with sandbags and rock. Federal buyouts of flood-damaged homes in Cape Girardeau may be unlikely, according to State Rep. Mary Kasten; as she toured the flooded areas of the city yesterday, Kasten said, “(The buyout process) is so complex, I don’t think it’s worthwhile”; in order to qualify for a buyout, the property owner must have federal flood insurance, which many in the Red Star area don’t have.

had taught the girl and her siblings how to shoot and safely handle guns, allowing her to effectively use the single-action Colt .45-caliber revolver, which had to be cocked between shots, said District Attorney Ted Bell. “The late father had taught the children how to shoot,” Bell said in a phone interview. Bell said the mother had hidden guns around the house for protection when the boyfriend started acting dangerously in recent weeks. Bell said he believed the revolver was one of those firearms, but he said the boyfriend also kept guns in the house. Bell said his office determined the shooting was justified and no charges are warranted against the children.

ASSOCIATED PRESS FREDERICK, Colo. — The bodies of two young girls were submerged in crude oil for four days before authorities discovered them Thursday, according to court documents filed Friday by an attorney defending the girls’ father against accusations that he killed his children and wife. The motion filed Friday by Christopher Watts’ attorney, James Merson, also asked that DNA swabs be taken from the girls’ necks. The request quotes an expert who believes the oil would not eliminate DNA and said samples can be obtained “after strangulation.” Authorities separately announced the Weld County Coroner’s Office had performed autopsies Friday and confirmed the bodies as 34-year-old Shanann, 4-yearold Bella and 3-year-old Celeste Watts. Police did not release any information about how the mother and daughters died. More testing is planned to help determine the cause of their deaths. Richard Eikelenboom, the expert cited by Watts’ attorney, also recommended taking DNA samples from the girls’ hands and the hands and nails of their mother. Eikelenboom has testified in several high-profile criminal trials, often on so-called “touch DNA” when small samples of genetic material are left on a surface. After his wife and daughters were reported missing Monday and before his arrest, Watts told reporters he missed them, and longed for the simple things like telling his girls to eat their dinner and gazing at them

As the result of the annexation last September, the population of Cape Girardeau has officially been declared above the 25,000 mark; as a consequence, the city has some new powers and may lose some; because the city hit the magical 25,000 mark, it will likely receive $3,500 more annually from the state gasoline tax refund; it will likely lose its power to levy a band tax. Adm. W.J. Smith, the U.S. Coast Guard’s commandant, gets off a southbound towboat here around noon after a 24-hour tour of the Mississippi River from St. Louis; he’ll meet later in the day with shipping interests.

1943 Cape Girardeans will be asked to buy $769,000 in war bonds during the Third War Loan campaign, or $127,000 more than was the county’s entire quota in the Second War Loan drive conducted in April; Jackson will have a quota of $125,000 for the next drive, while the rural districts will be responsible for raising $300,000. KEARNEY, Neb. — Second Lt. Sylvester J. Diebold, 23, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph C. Diebold of Benton, Missouri, was among eight men killed in the crash of a four-engined Army plane from the Kearney Air Base near Wood River, Nebraska, late Tuesday; the plane crashed on a routine flight.

1918 The proclamation by President Woodrow Wilson, calling all men who have turned 21 years old since June 5 to register next Saturday, has been received by the local draft board; all of these young men will come to Jackson to register for military service; the next entrainment of 51 men from this county for Camp Funston, Kansas, is scheduled for Aug. 30 at Jackson. After 14 years of faithful service as head of Saint Francis Hospital in Cape Girardeau, Sister Baptiste will leave Wednesday morning for the Mother House in St. Louis; just where her new field of labor will be hasn’t been decided.

Trevor Blattner’s passion away from the dentist’s chair D

r. Trevor Blattner is a thinker. Methodical. Thoughtful. A diagnostician in dentistry and questions such as: What’s life about? The dentistry part might not surprise readers. After all, he is well educated as a endodontist. A graduate of the University of Kansas, Blattner went to dental school at the University UCAS of Missouri-Kansas City and attended RESSON the University of Maryland in Baltimore to earn a Master of Science degree in Oral Biology with a certificate in endodontics. After three years on the East Coast, Blattner and his wife, also a dentist, returned to Cape Girardeau to open his practice and be close to his family. A product of Cape Girardeau Central High School, Blattner knew by his junior year of high school a career in healthcare was in his future. He worked part-time at Saint Francis Healthcare System and sought input from surgeons, thinking surgery would be a possible career path. Over time he realized his priorities and interests better aligned with dentistry. He could diagnose problems, provide pain relief to patients with aching teeth and still have a work-life balance that other medical fields would not provide. While at Kansas, Blattner received a bid to become a Beta, and in addition to studying for school also was a voracious reader. “I would say those were four years of my life that were pretty crucial years,” Blattner said during an interview at his office. “That’s where I started doing a lot of the reading. I read ‘Mere Christianity’ [by C.S. Lewis] during those years. I read a book called “Think and Grow Rich” [and] “Man’s Search for Meaning.” These sorts of books where I’m trying to figure what life’s about and my purpose in it. Also [I read] the ‘Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren.’” Blattner counted those years of reading, learning and self-reflection as moments that put him on a path to help others — whether it was with their root canal or personal development. But it didn’t solve everything. He dealt with feelings of inadequacy from high school through dental school. Would he ever measure up to the standards he set for himself ? “I tried to fill that void with athletics, with accomplishing things. I played competitive sports. Had some success in that. I would say I overachieved in that because I wanted so badly to be recognized. Academically, too. It was devastating to me if I got anything other than A’s. I just made it my mission that I got perfect grades all the time.” He knows it was self-inflicted pressure. And it came to a head in dental school. A Christian by the age of 14, faith has played an important role in his life. But while in dental school he realized the need to dive deeper in his relationship with God. “Being a Christian and being a mature Christian are two different things for sure,” he said. Recently Blattner started a podcast called “The Top 1 Percent,” launched a website where he writes blogs and is promoting a book soon to be released. “The major driving force for me is I like to help people do what they want to do in life,” he said. “I don’t know where it stems from initially, but when I was in the Beta house I was one of the pledge educators. That was one of the coolest things that I did at that time in my life, to be a mentor to the incoming freshmen throughout the entire freshmen year. What it meant to be a Beta. What it meant to stand for something that was a little bit bigger than yourself.” He liked the opportunity to help others. “Learning and teaching are two of my favorite things to do. And I just love personal development and leadership development and growing spiritually. All those things together are my passions. The ultimate goal is to help people live a life that maximizes their potential. We’re all born with God-given gifts. It’s up to us to either use those gifts or squander those gifts.” He references Scripture where Jesus says to be “in the world but not of the world.” “You got to be in the world and influence the world for the Kingdom of God rather than being of the world and being influenced by it,” he said. “I think the best way to influence people is not necessarily by reprimanding them or telling them something, but to show them what life can be like if it’s aligned with God. “I happen to think that living life in alignment with God is both spiritual and taking responsibility for the gifts you been given and honing those gifts so you can use them for the Kingdom of God.” Blattner says everyone has more potential than they give themselves credit for, whether it’s in business, parenting or leadership roles. “You should always be pushing yourself to reach that next level, the top one percent, to make an impact in the platform you have.” Why the name “Top 1 Percent”? He admits the financial implication is catchy, but that’s not the entire picture. “The meaning is constant personal growth to try to reach the upper limit of whatever your capabilities are.” Download his podcast and you’ll find a range of interviews. There are the local ones, such as one with author David Limbaugh. Then there are others with business experts outside this market who are making a difference. Down the road he wants to create online learning tools and courses to help others with personal productivity, leadership and goal-setting. He hopes speaking will become part of the platform, too. But for now, it’s one day at a time. One book at a time. Slow. Methodical. And hopefully learning and teaching others something along the way.

Identity politics: A cynical electoral tactic N

o offense, my Democratic friends, but only in the modern Democratic Party could a Democratic icon such as Andrew Cuomo fearlessly and publicly claim that America “was AVID never that great.” Just IMBAUGH two decades ago, few Democrats would dare make that statement. Lest you fall for the lie that this was merely a one-off hyperbole, notice the full range of Cuomo’s intentional remarks. “We’re not going to make America great again,” said the New York governor. “It was never that great. We have not reached greatness. We will reach greatness when every American is fully engaged. We will reach greatness when discrimination and stereotyping against women, 51 percent of our population, is gone and every woman’s full potential is realized and unleashed and every woman is making her full contribution.” Later, realizing that Cuomo had stepped in it, his press secretary, Dani Lever, scrambled to salvage his disastrous utterance. “The Governor believes America is great and that her full greatness will be fully realized when every man, woman, and child has full equality,” she said in a statement. “America has not yet reached its maximum potential.” Lever continued: “When the President speaks about making America great again — going back in time — he ignores the pain so many endured and that we suffered from slavery, discrimination, segregation, sexism and marginalized women’s contributions. The Governor believes that when everyone is fully included and everyone is contributing to their maximum potential, that is when America will achieve maximum greatness.” Notice that Lever admitted that Cuomo was responding directly to the Trump slogan, “Make America Great Again.” This slogan inherently recognizes that America has been great and Trump wants to restore all of its greatness. Cuomo intended to contradict that assumption, which is why he said America has never been that great. He didn’t say or mean, as Lever insisted, that America used to be great but has fallen and that we need to restore it. If that were the case, he wouldn’t have chosen Trump’s slogan as a point of attack,

because he would have agreed with it. No, Cuomo was quite clear. In his view and that of so many on the left, America has never been that great. Sadly, in the leftist worldview, it will never be that great. No matter how many reforms are implemented, no matter how much blood is spilled, no matter how many constitutional amendments are ratified to extend legal equality and equal opportunity to all Americans, it will never be enough for the left, because accusing conservatives of hatred, intolerance, bigotry and heartlessness is about all they have. But it’s not all they believe and all they stand for. Yes, many conservative analysts are correct that over the past two decades, identity politics has become dominant in the Democratic Party, but identity politics is not what really animates its leftist leaders. Their divisive rhetoric is more a calculated electoral tactic to agitate minorities against Republicans than a deeply held belief. You can’t convince me that Democratic Party leaders truly believe that half the nation — the half that disagrees with them politically — is racist, bigoted, sexist, homophobic and the rest of the poisonous adjectival litany with which they routinely smear us. But it certainly keeps them competitive when their policies don’t. They say they champion women and African-Americans, but do they really respect them? Do they really treat them all with equal dignity? Just watch what happens when a member of either group dissents from their leftist orthodoxy. The person is treated, not just by black and female liberals but by preening white heterosexual liberals, as inauthentic — as an Uncle Tom or a traitors to his or her race or gender. They ostracize the person as a subhuman heretic whose race or gender counts for nothing if he or she defies the leftist cause. It is easy for Cuomo to say America “was never that great,” because he and his leftist soul mates believe it. It rolls off their tongues because they reject so much of the American idea. That is why candidate Barack Obama could proudly declare his intention to fundamentally transform America. That is why Michelle Obama, witnessing her husband’s electoral success, could say, “For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country.” For Cuomo and the left, the dis-

contentment about America isn’t just or even mostly about the plight of minorities. It is about America’s founding principles. Liberals don’t embrace the Constitution and the rule of law in the same way conservatives do. They pay lip service to the separation of powers and pretend that Donald Trump is usurping authority when he makes derogatory comments about members of the media whose sole reason for existence is to attack him. But they cheered President Obama’s lawless executive power grabs, and they support appellate judges who arrogate to themselves the prerogatives of super-legislators. They treat the cherished principles of federalism and states’ rights as historical mistakes or fictions. And despite their denials, the Democratic Party has come to fully embrace socialism. Unsurprisingly, a decisive majority of Democrats prefer socialism over capitalism, according to a recent Gallup Poll. When Cuomo’s defenders claim he was only referring to gender discrimination and other forms of bigotry when he proudly denied America’s historical greatness, they’re dissembling. The Democratic Party and many of its grass-roots supporters reject the American idea itself; it’s not just that it was originally tainted by the sin and stain of slavery. That’s why they favor open borders and amnesty for the millions of immigrants who are here illegally. If they believed America is unique, they would believe its uniqueness is worth preserving and support legal and controlled immigration and assimilation of immigrants into the unique American fabric. But even with the damaging revelation that the majority of Democratic voters heart socialism, the party honchos still won’t be able to openly embrace it — because this is anathema to a majority of Americans. In view of its historical track record of abject failure, there is no way Democrats can defend socialism on the merits, which is why they will continue to defame their political opponents as being racist, sexist and multi-phobic. It’s what modern Democrats are; it’s what they do; it’s all they’ve got. David Limbaugh is a writer, author and attorney who lives in Cape Girardeau. His latest book is “The True Jesus: Uncovering the Divinity of Christ in the Gospels.”

SPEAK OUT Socialism opinion Gallup reports that 57 percent of Democrats polled by Gallup have a favorable view of socialism, while just 47 percent of Democrats in the poll have positive feelings about capitalism. This is another reason why we don’t trust Democrats to govern.

America wins To see the recent Speakout regarding Trump being a divider and not doing anything. Yes, when you have someone come in and start pointing out how the “OLD SCHOOL” of doing things isn’t going to work anymore as it is breaking this country, there is going to be some stepping on toes. Thank God he has the strength, business sense and common sense to correct so many things that have been

Silence? On June 17, 2006, Senator Joe Biden said, “In Delaware, the largest growth of population is Indian Americans, moving from India. You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking.” And Democrats made not a sound.

the stately trees have been cut down. It looks hideous. And today the junior high cut a huge living tree down. It has always provided homes for the squirrels for years and years. It is very sad to see. Quit cutting our trees down.

Trump MAGA As someone who has voted for Republicans, Democrats and third-party candidates over the years, I have to say that Donald Trump is the best president I’ve ever seen. He seeks to unite the country despite the lies of the race baiters, and he’s done so much to truly “make America great again” as our economy soars. He just riles up the Left and their sheep-like followers. We finally have a uniter as president, not a divider!

and introduced him to the ring that photographed him. In at least one case, Wuerl required a victim to sign a “confidentiality agreement” barring him from discussing his abuse with any third party as part of a settlement. That is a coverup. In addition, the grand jury also wrote that under his leadership the diocese failed to report allegations of abuse to law enforcement, advocated for a convicted predator at sentencing, and then provided a $11,542.68 lumpsum payment to the disgraced priest after his release from prison. The grand jury report comes on the heels of the sickening accusations that Wuerl’s predecessor as Washington archbishop, Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, sexually abused seminarians and young priests, and spent nearly 20 years molesting a young boy, the first person he baptized, beginning when the child was 11. After the McCarrick allegations, Wuerl declared, “I don’t think this is some massive, massive crisis.” Excuse me, Your Eminence? It is a massive, massive crisis. How was McCarrick allowed to rise through the hierarchy despite the countless warnings to both his fellow bishops and the Vatican that he was a sexual predator? Who knew? Who helped him? The same conspiracy of silence that allowed sexual predators to flourish in Wuerl’s Pittsburgh diocese for decades also allowed McCarrick to become, until just a few weeks ago, one of the most powerful American cardinals, even in retirement. This is not just a matter of getting rid of a few bad apples. There is a ring of abusers and their enablers in the Catholic hierarchy that must be rooted out. Every report of abuse

Cardinal Wuerl must go n 1972, Pope Paul VI warned that “the smoke of Satan has entered the Church of God.” We see that smoke throughout the report from a Pennsylvania grand jury, which alleges that MARC more than 300 priests THIESSEN abused more than 1,000 children in six Pennsylvania dioceses — including 99 priests from the Diocese of Pittsburgh, which was led for 18 years by Cardinal Donald Wuerl, now archbishop of Washington. How bad was the abuse? The report notes that “during the course of this investigation, the Grand Jury uncovered a ring of predatory priests operating within the [Pittsburgh] Diocese who shared intelligence or information regarding victims as well as exchanging the victims amongst themselves. This ring also manufactured child pornography ... [and] used whips, violence and sadism in raping their victims.” According to Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, one victim, a boy named George, “was forced to stand on a bed in a rectory, strip naked and pose as Christ on the cross for the priests. They took photos of their victim, adding them to a collection of child pornography which they produced and shared on church grounds.” Abusing a child while mocking the Passion of Christ is truly diabolical. Wuerl, who served as the bishop of Pittsburgh from 1988 to 2006, did discipline some priests — and even went to the Vatican to fight an order that he reinstate one. But the grand jury also wrote that he reassigned other predator priests — including the one who “groomed” George

that was overlooked or ignored, every abuse that was covered up with a nondisclosure agreement, must be exposed. The bishops and cardinals who ignored or covered up abuses are complicit and must be removed. The church must be cleansed, and the conspiracy of silence ended. The only way to do this is through an independent investigation. The church has proved itself incapable of self-investigation and self-policing — which is evidenced by the fact we are just learning new details of the horrific extent of abuse from a grand jury 16 years after the scandal first erupted. My American Enterprise Institute colleague Michael Strain has recommended bringing back former Oklahoma governor, federal prosecutor and faithful Catholic Frank Keating to lead the investigation. In 2003, Keating resigned from a lay-member church-appointed board looking into abuse after he refused to apologize for comparing the coverup by the bishops to the Mafia. That makes him precisely the right man for the job. The bishops not only failed the victims but have also scandalized the church, undermined its teaching authority and driven countless people away from Christ. How many failed to go to confession, or left the sacraments, because of their actions — or their failure to act? We will never know. But they should heed Mark’s Gospel, where Jesus warns, “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung round his neck and he were thrown into the sea.” This must be a time of repentance. Repentance requires accountability. And accountability requires resignations — starting with Wuerl’s.

ATHLETES AND POLITICS Do you think professional athletes and entertainers should weigh in on politics or social issues? (430 votes)

31.6% Yes

68.4% No

Comments Wrong question. “Should we pay attention to entertainers and athletes?” Who set them up as experts? Everyone has a right to voice their opinion no matter how biased and one-sided it may be, and there’s a lot of it out there mostly with these two groups for sure. Free speech, the No. 1 rule of the Great Lands. Wasn’t Trump an entertainer at one point in his past , like “The Apprentice?”

YOUR FIRST RODEO? Have you ever attended a rodeo? (338 votes)

33.4% No

66.6% Yes

Comments Sure have! Back in the ’40s and ’50s, movie and TV cowboys like Roy Rogers, Hoppy, and the Cisco Kid, all toured with rodeos to big city venues. Saint Louis was always a stop. And they were often more than one day events.

The immortal Indianapolis T

he worst disaster in the history of the United States Navy only began with the sinking of the USS Indianapolis. Three hundred men died in the initial catastrophe on July 30, ICH 1945, then the surviOWRY vors cast into the sea suffered unimaginable horrors, abandoned for days without food or water in shark-infested waters. The new book “Indianapolis” is a bestseller, a testament not just to its novelistic style, but the enduring fascination with the tragedy. Another book published about 15 years ago, “In Harm’s Way,” also was a best-seller. A feature film was released about the doomed ship two years ago. Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen spearheaded an expedition in August 2017 to discover the wreck at the bottom of the Pacific, and PBS aired a special of underwater footage of the majestic graveyard shortly thereafter. As long as tales of the sea move human hearts — which is to say, approximately, forever — the story of the Indianapolis will shock and inspire. The ship had been commissioned in 1932. She was a heavy cruiser, in between a larger battleship and smaller destroyer. Sleek, fast, and elegant, she bristled with firepower — her 8-inch guns could fire a 250-pound

shell 18 miles. Franklin Roosevelt made her his ship of state, and she became the flagship of the Navy’s 5th Fleet. During World War II, she saw significant action and suffered a debilitating kamikaze strike at Okinawa. Quickly repaired, she embarked on a secret mission to deliver components of the atom bomb dropped on Hiroshima. She then proceeded unaccompanied to Leyte in the Philippines. A Japanese submarine operating in her path stumbled upon her on a dark night. It fired six torpedoes, two of which struck the ship in quick succession right after midnight. The ship sank in 12 horrifying minutes. Nine hundred men made it off, suddenly in the middle of the Philippine Sea at night with their home, their weapon, their mistress gone. Only about half had a life jacket or life vest. They were spread over miles. Many were wounded. At first, they were hopeful about a rescue that didn’t come for four excruciating days. The ship’s SOS call was picked up at three places, but the message was ignored. A failure in the Navy’s tracking system meant no one noticed when the Indianapolis didn’t show up at Leyte. Day by day, hundreds more men died. During the day, the sun tortured them. The salt water weakened them. Thirst agonized them. Their life jackets began to give out. They died of exposure and exhaustion. They died from the nightmarish attacks of circling sharks. They

died from the terrible temptation of drinking salt water. They died from madness. They died from sheer despair, giving up and sinking beneath the waves. Still, somehow, at the extreme edge of human endurance, 317 men survived when a plane on a surveillance mission finally came across them. For Capt. Charles McVay, a new agony began. As the Indianapolis sank, he had considered going down with the ship before getting swept away by a wave. At first separated from his men, he had the horrifying thought that he alone might have survived. The Navy court-martialed him for not having zigzagged to evade attack, even though his orders only made it mandatory during the day, even though the maneuver was of dubious effectiveness, even though the captain of the Japanese sub said he assuredly would have sunk the Indianapolis anyway. There was a much stronger case that McVay had been let down by the Navy, since he wasn’t apprised of reports of Japanese subs operating in his vicinity and the Navy, shockingly, lost track of his ship. Yet McVay was found guilty. A broken man, he took his own life in 1968, and the Navy didn’t expunge his record of wrongdoing until 2001. It’s another tragedy associated with a ship whose drama, heartbreaking and astonishing, will never leave us. comments.lowry@nationalreview. com

nation & world Trump blames DC, as parade plans unravel BY LOLITA C. BALDOR AND CATHERINE LUCEY

ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The cancellation of President Donald Trump’s Veterans Day parade came swiftly when senior White House and Pentagon leaders saw the estimated $92 million price tag play out in public, setting off a chaotic volley of tweets and accusations between the president and the mayor of the nation’s capital. The drama Thursday and Friday also highlighted, not for the first time, a disconnect between the Pentagon and the White House when it comes to turning some of Trump’s more mercurial ideas into reality. While Defense Secretary Jim Mattis dismissed the price estimate for the parade as fiction — likening the report of it as the work of someone who had been smoking pot — Trump

wasn’t denying the projected costs. He was lashing out at Washington, D.C., politicians he claimed were to blame for the sky-high price. “When asked to give us a price for holding a great celebratory military parade, they wanted a number so ridiculously high that I cancelled it. Never let someone hold you up!” Trump tweeted. He held out hope of holding the parade next year instead, and said this year he would travel to Paris for events marking the centennial of the end of fighting in World War I, which falls on Veterans Day, Nov. 11. “Now we can buy some more jet fighters!” he added. Despite Trump blaming municipal authorities for the high estimate, the bulk of the cost was the $50 million Pentagon portion to cover military aircraft, equipment, personnel and other support. The remaining $42 million would cover costs borne by the city

and other agencies and largely involved security costs. The Republican president’s finger-pointing set off a social media spat with D.C.’s Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser. She shot back on Twitter she was the one who “finally got thru to the reality star in the White House with the realities ($21.6M) of parades/events/ demonstrations in Trump America (sad).” District of Columbia officials called the price-gouging charge by Trump “patently false.” A city official said the $21.6 million estimate of the costs the city would incur was their “best stab at it,” since they did not know what the exact route would be or how long it would last. The official, who wasn’t authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity, said there had been little interaction with the Pentagon and few details provided.

Trump warns he’ll revoke clearance of Justice official ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Friday he suspects he’ll “very quickly” revoke the security clearance for a Justice Department official whose wife worked for the firm involved in producing a dossier on Trump’s ties to Russia. Signaling his efforts to target clearances over his frustration with the Russia investigation were not over, Trump tweeted it was a “disgrace” for Bruce Ohr to be in the Justice Department. His comments came two days after he yanked the security clearance of former CIA director John Brennan, saying he had to do “something” about the “rigged” federal probe of Russian election interference. Critics have cast it as an act of political vengeance. Ohr has come under Republican scrutiny for his contacts to Glenn Simpson, co-founder of Fusion GPS. The opposition research firm hired former British spy Christopher Steele during the 2016 presidential campaign to compile the dossier on Trump and his Russia ties. Ohr’s wife, Nellie, worked for Fusion GPS during the campaign — something Trump has tweeted about to highlight his assertions of political bias behind the Russia investigation. Former U.S. security officials Thursday issued scathing rebukes to Trump for moving against Brennan. Trump’s admission he acted out of frustration with the Russia probe underscored

Trump decided he wanted a military parade in Washington after he attended France’s Bastille Day celebration in the center of Paris last year. Several months later, Trump praised the French parade, saying, “We’re going to have to try and top it.” It was a demand drawing criticism not just from Trump’s political opponents but some Republicans, too. As the Pentagon began planning for the U.S. version, the cost became a politically charged issue — as did the prospect of streets in the nation’s capital being churned up by tank treads. According to officials familiar with the unfolding events, senior Pentagon leaders were briefed Wednesday about the parade costs. But officials said the estimates were still preliminary and so were not submitted to Mattis or Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The officials spoke on con-

dition of anonymity to discuss private meetings and conversations. When details came out publicly Thursday, senior White House officials, including chief of staff John Kelly, were angry about the $92 million amount, which was more than triple early estimates of $10 million to $30 million by the White House budget director. It’s not clear when Trump was told, but the order to cancel the parade came quickly and was made by the end of the work day. The Pentagon announced the decision just before 8 p.m. Throughout the day, multiple U.S. officials had confirmed the $92 million estimate put together by the interagency parade planning group. And Pentagon officials did not push back or at any point suggest the reporting was wrong. Still, when asked about the price Thursday evening, Mattis excoriated the media

and said he had seen no such estimate. “I’m not dignifying that number ($92 million) with a reply. I would discount that, and anybody who said (that number), I’ll almost guarantee you one thing: They probably said, ‘I need to stay anonymous.’ No kidding, because you look like an idiot. And No. 2, whoever wrote it needs to get better sources. I’ll just leave it at that,” Mattis told reporters traveling with him. He said whoever leaked the number to the press was “probably smoking something that is legal in my state but not in most” — a reference to his home state of Washington, where marijuana use is legal. Mattis’ comments came hours after the estimate was made public, and not long after the cancellation decision was made — giving his staff plenty of time to ensure he was made aware of the planning estimate’s accuracy.

President Donald Trump poses for photographs while greeting members of the military on the tarmac upon his arrival Friday on Air Force One at Francis S. Gabreski Airport in Westhampton, New York. his willingness to use his executive power to fight back against an investigation he sees as a threat to his presidency. Legal experts said the dispute may add to the evidence being reviewed by special counsel Robert Mueller. In an opinion piece in The New York Times, Brennan said Trump’s decision, announced Wednesday, to deny him access to classified information was a desperate attempt to end Mueller’s investigation. Brennan, who served under President Barack Obama and has become a vocal Trump critic, called Trump’s claims he did not collude with Russia “hogwash.” The only question remaining is whether the collusion amounts to a “constituted criminally liable conspiracy,” Brennan wrote. Later Thursday, the re-

tired Navy admiral who oversaw the raid killing Osama bin Laden called Trump’s moves “McCarthy-era tactics.” Writing in The Washington Post, William H. McRaven said he would “consider it an honor” if Trump would revoke his clearance, as well. “Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation,” McRaven wrote. That was followed late Thursday by a joint letter from 15 former senior intelligence officials calling Trump’s action “ill-considered and unprecedented.” They said it “has nothing to do with who should and should not hold security clearances — and everything to do with an attempt to stifle free speech.”

WASHINGTON — For much of the last two years, Senate Intelligence Committee chairman Richard Burr has been the Russia investigator who is seen but rarely heard on Capitol Hill. In an exclusive interview with The Associated Press, the North Carolina Republican opened up about the investigation consuming 19 months of his life. He said it has been “frustrating as hell” and much more difficult than he originally envisioned. But he said the integrity of the investigation — and its importance to the institution of the Senate — is something he has labored to protect. “Nothing in this town stays classified or secret forever,” Burr said. “And at some point somebody’s going to go back and do a review. And I’d love not to be the one that chaired the committee when somebody says, ‘well, boy, you missed this.’ So we’ve tried to be pretty thorough in how we’ve done it.” Burr said there is “no factual evidence today that we’ve received” on collusion or conspiracy between Russia and President Donald Trump’s campaign. But he said he’s still open on the issue and hasn’t personally come to any final conclusions, since the investigation isn’t finished. The Senate investigation is the last bipartisan congressional probe of Russia’s interference in the 2016 election and connec-

tions to Trump’s campaign. Working with the panel’s top Democrat, Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, Burr has so far managed to keep the investigation free from the extraordinary acrimony hindering work on the House side of the Capitol. The House Intelligence Committee bitterly fought through its entire Russia investigation, which ended earlier this year despite the objections of Democrats. “From an institution standpoint, I want the American people to understand that the Senate can function, even on the most serious things,” Burr said. Normally a self-described creature of habit, Burr said his schedule has been upended. He said he has had “no life” since January 2017, when Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell

asked him to start the investigation, and as the panel has chased leads — and leads coming from those leads — in the United States and abroad. He said the international aspect of the probe, the sheer number of players connected to one another and the many lawyers they have to deal with have made the work more challenging than originally expected. Still, he said he doesn’t think the committee should rush to wrap up the work, saying “the worst thing we can do is to prematurely try to end” the probe. He said the panel still has a handful of people to interview behind closed doors and some who they may want to interview again, though he isn’t making any commitments on bringing witnesses forward publicly.

Senate Intelligence Committee chairman Sen. Richard Burr speaks to reporters about his panel’s investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election on Capitol Hill in Washington.

WASHINGTON — It’s not just audiotapes. Omarosa Manigault Newman has a stash of video, emails, text messages and other documentation supporting the claims in her tell-all book about her time in the Trump White House, a person with direct knowledge of the records told The Associated Press. Manigault Newman has made clear she plans to continue selectively releasing the pieces of evidence if President Donald Trump and his associates continue to attack her credibility and challenge the claims in her book, “Unhinged.” She’s already dribbled out audio recordings of conversations, and video clips, texts or email could follow, according to the person who described what Manigault Newman has called a multimedia “treasure trove.” The person was not authorized

to discuss the issue publicly and asked for anonymity. “I will not be silenced. I will not be intimidated. I’m not going to be bullied by Donald Trump,” the former Trump aide told The Associated Press this week as she seemed to dismiss a threat from Trump’s campaign. She spoke to the AP hours after Trump’s campaign announced it was filing an arbitration action against her alleging she’d violated a signed agreement with the campaign prohibiting her from disclosing confidential information. She told PBS in a separate interview this week: “I have a significant amount, in fact, a treasure trove, of multimedia backup for everything that’s not only in “Unhinged,” but everything that I assert about Donald Trump.” Manigault Newman claimed Trump officials offered her a job on the campaign as a way of silencing

her, after she was fired from the White House. She’s accused Trump of being racist and suffering from a mental decline. The White House has countered by branding Manigault Newman as a disgruntled former staffer with credibility issues who is now trying to profit from a book based on false attacks against an individual she has called a mentor and has admired for more than a decade. Trump has also lashed out at Manigault Newman, calling her a “lowlife,” “wacky and deranged” and a “dog.” Simon & Schuster this week also dismissed threatened legal action from Trump’s campaign. A campaign attorney told Simon & Schuster in a letter “Unhinged” violated Manigault Newman’s confidentiality agreement, but the publisher responded it was acting “well within” its rights.

Al-Qaida bomb master said killed in U.S. drone strike

IS opens deadly new front in Pakistan’s aging terror war BY KATHY GANNON

BY MAGGIE MICHAEL AND AHMED AL-HAJ

ASSOCIATED PRESS CAIRO — Al-Qaida’s chief bomb maker, Ibrahim al-Asiri, who was behind the 2009 Christmas Day plot to down an airliner over Detroit and other foiled aviation-related terror attacks, was killed in a U.S. drone strike, Yemeni officials and a tribal leader said Friday. The killing of al-Asiri deals a heavy blow to the group’s capabilities in striking western targets and piles pressure on the group, which already has lost several of its top cadres over the past years in similar drone strikes. A Yemeni security official said al-Asiri is dead; a tribal leader and an al-Qaidalinked source also said he was killed in a U.S. drone strike in the eastern Yemeni governorate of Marib. The tribal leader said al-Asiri was struck, along with two or four of his associates, as he stood beside his car. He added al-Asiri’s wife, who hails from the well-known al-Awaleq tribe in the southern governorate of Shabwa, was briefly held

months ago by the UAEbacked forces and later released. Al-Qaida itself has remained silent about its top bomb maker. Instead of the typical “eulogies” on militant websites, the Yemeni source said the group is trying to hunt down suspected “spies” who might have tipped off the U.S. on his whereabouts leading up to the strike. The security official spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to brief reporters. The tribal leader and al-Qaidalinked source requested anonymity fearing for their safety. The confirmation of al-Asiri’s death follows a U.N. report this week saying the 36-year-old Saudi national, who is among U.S.’s top most wanted militants, may have been killed in the second half of 2017. Al-Asiri is believed to have built the underwear bomb a Nigerian man, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, tried to detonate on a passenger jet over Detroit in December 2009. He is also behind bombs hidden in printer cartridges placed on U.S.-

bound cargo jets in 2010. U.S. intelligence over the past years believed al-Asiri and his confederates were constantly working to improve their bomb designs so they could get past airport security. In July 2014, the Transportation Security Administration banned uncharged mobile phones and laptops from flights to the United States originating from Europe and the Middle East. Al-Asiri, who studied chemistry in the Saudi capital of Riyadh, even once placed explosives inside his younger brother’s clothes in a plot to assassinate Saudi Arabia’s interior minister, Mohammed bin Nayef, in 2009. The brother, Abdullah, died in the explosion while the top U.S. counterterrorism ally was slightly wounded. The U.S. has long viewed the al-Qaida’s Yemeni branch as its most dangerous affiliate, in part because of al-Asiri’s expertise in explosives. Since 2014, the U.S. has offered $5 million for information leading to his capture. He is thought to have escaped death many times in U.S. drone strikes in Yemen.

Greek bailout ends; Europe’s debt problems continue on BY DAVID MCHUGH

ASSOCIATED PRESS FRANKFURT, Germany — Greece officially completes its bailout program Monday, after eight years of cutbacks enforced in return for massive loans and following an economic collapse on the scale of the Great Depression. The exit is a welcome milestone. But it offers little assurance the 19-country euro currency union has left behind its problems with debt. The huge debt pile in Greece and an even bigger one in Italy will remain a lurking financial threat to Europe possibly requiring a generation to defuse. Europe’s debt problems have repeatedly raised fears over the past decade of a break-up in the euro, a worstcase scenario causing severe economic damage in the region and shaking world financial markets and trade. In Greece, successive governments had borrowed heavily for three decades to fund generous spending on pensions and jobs given to political supporters, while tolerating widespread tax evasion and covering up budget shortfalls. All that blew up mightily in October 2009, when Greece admitted its budget deficit was much bigger than previously reported. Shocked investors no longer would risk loaning Greece money at affordable rates, forcing the government to turn to rescue loans from the other eurozone countries and

the International Monetary Fund. The loans came with tough conditions: closing deficits, which led to aggressive tax increases and spending cuts; and a raft of reforms aimed at improving tax collection and the business climate in general. The economy, hit hard by spending cuts, shrank by a quarter. All told, Greece now owes total debt of $366 billion, or over 180 percent of annual economic output. Of that, more than half is owed to eurozone creditors and to the International Monetary Fund. In 2012, about $100 billion in debt was lopped off by inflicting losses on private bondholders. Monday is the day the third and last bailout program expires, meaning no more money is available. Greece will remain subject to quarterly visits by technical experts to make sure it is meeting agreed targets for public finances until the last bailout loan is repaid, in 2060. The other eurozone countries gave Greece enough cash to cover 22 months of financing needs and significantly eased its debt repayment terms. Greece needs to pass the quarterly reviews to activate the debt relief. But Greece will get no new reform requirements. Some experts said the best way to help Greece would be for eurozone countries to write off a part of the loans altogether. But governments have balked. The bailouts were unpopular, particularly

Survivor, shaken, describes plunge off bridge in Italy ASSOCIATED PRESS GENOA, Italy — One survivor of the Genoa bridge collapse was in his car as it plunged 150 feet to the ground along with falling sections of highway and concrete. He said he immediately understood the structure was collapsing. “It came down, everything, the world came down,” said 33-year-old Davide Capello, a firefighter and soccer player who walked away traumatized but physically unharmed from Tuesday’s disaster. Excavators on Friday began clearing large sections of the collapsed highway bridge in the Italian port city on the Mediterranean Sea, searching for people still missing three days after the deadly accident Capello said ended with an “unreal silence.” The search entered a new

phase as heavy equipment removed a large vertical section, clearing a new area to probe. Rescuers have been tunneling through tons of jagged steel, concrete blocks and crushed vehicles that plunged to the ground when the bridge suddenly broke up Tuesday during a downpour. “It is very difficult to estimate the duration of the ... operations as we are going forward at a very slow pace and with a lot of caution,” said firefighter spokesman Stefano Zanut. Officials say 38 people are confirmed killed and 15 were injured. Prosecutors say 10 to 20 people might still be unaccounted-for, so the death toll is expected to rise. The first funerals were being held Friday, ahead of a state funeral in Genoa to be celebrated by Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco.

in Germany, and loan forgiveness would be a tough sell for leaders such as German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The IMF and prominent economists said if part of Greece’s loans are not written off, its debt loan will eventually start to rise out of control again. Greece is meant to run exceptionally large budget surpluses before interest payments — so-called primary surpluses of 3.5 percent of GDP through 2023, and 2.2 percent thereafter. The IMF says few countries historically have been able to do so. It says countries often quickly undo cuts, as people get fed up over lost services. Spending on state health care in Greece, for instance, has been squeezed to one of the lowest levels in the eurozone, with the poorest 20 percent of Greeks saying they spend 44 percent of household income on out-of-pocket medical expenses and many reporting they have simply done without medical care. George Pagoulatos, a professor at the Athens University of Economics and Business, said, in the end, the country’s creditors may have to lower their expectations for how much Greece can save. He suggested lower surpluses plus better economic growth from the pro-business reforms could be the key to make debt sustainable. “It doesn’t mean that tax evasion has been eradicated or that governments will no longer do favors for their supporters,” Pagoulatos said.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DHABEJI, Pakistan — Hafeez Nawaz was 20 years old when he left his religious school in Karachi to join the Islamic State group in Afghanistan. Three years later he was back in Pakistan to carry out a deadly mission: With explosives strapped to his body, he blew himself up in the middle of an election rally last month, killing 149 people and wounding 300 others. The attack in southwestern Baluchistan province near the Afghan border just days before Pakistan’s July 25 parliamentary elections has cast an unwelcome spotlight on Nawaz’s tiny village of Dhabeji, where the presence of an IS cell in their midst has brought the full weight of Pakistan’s security apparatus down on its residents. “Now we are all under suspicion,” said Nawaz’s neighbor, who gave only his first name, Nadeem, for fear of the local police. “The security agencies now consider Dhabeji a security threat area.” Nawaz’s trajectory from religiously devout student to jihadi and suicide bomber is an all too familiar one in Pakistan. Since battlefield successes routed the Islamic State group from its strongholds in Syria and Iraq, hundreds of Pakistanis who traveled to join the extremists’ so-called “caliphate” are unaccounted for and Pakistan’s security personnel worry they, like Nawaz, have gone underground waiting to strike. Sitting in his office in a compound surrounded by high walls and heavily armed guards, Karachi’s counterterrorism department chief, Pervez Ahmed Chandio, said the Islamic

Family members of suicide bomber Hafeez Nawaz, with their faces covered, are presented before media for in Karachi, Pakistan. Nawaz killed 149 people and wounded 300 others in a suicide bombing. State group is the newest and deadliest front in Pakistan’s decades-old war on terror. “It is one of the most dangerous threats facing Pakistan, and we are ready to fight this war,” he said. The amorphous nature of IS has counterterrorism officials such as Chandio most worried. When one cell is disrupted another emerges, sometimes within weeks and often in an unrelated part of the country. “It’s what they don’t know that is the most worrying for counterterrorism departments around the country,” said Mohammad Amir Rana, executive director of the Islamabad-based Pakistan Institute of Peace Studies, which tracks militant movements in the region. “Its hideouts, its structure, its strategy are all unknown. They are an invisible enemy who is defeated in one area, only to resurface in another.” A U.N. Security Council report earlier this year warned of the changing face of IS, saying the extremist group was “entering a new phase, with more focus on less-visible networks of individuals and

cells acting with a degree of autonomy.” Hafeez Nawaz was just such a case. Three years ago, he joined his older brother, Aziz, to study at Siddiquia Madrassa in Karachi’s Shah Faisal Colony neighborhood, an area where the level of sectarian violence at the time was so brutal even police could not enter. A crackdown by paramilitary Rangers has since led to the arrest and killing of hundreds of militants and criminals. Today, the religious school is among 94 madrassas under surveillance in Karachi and elsewhere in southern Sindh province, Chandio said. They have been identified as breeding grounds for radicalism, schools where jihadis have emerged and perpetrators of attacks attended. Many are financed by oil-rich Saudi Arabia to promote the rigid Wahabi sect of Islam practiced in the kingdom, Chandio said. The origin of the money, whether from the Saudi government or Saudi philanthropists, is not clear, but the teachings at these schools espouse a rigid interpretation of Islam and the superiority of Sunni Islam.

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN PERRYVILLE, Mo. — Perryville softball is trending upward. The Pirates return eight starters from last year’s 15-10 team that advanced to the district title game. Most of the players spent the summer playing travel ball together, and of the eight returning starters, four are sophomores. There’s just one problem: Notre Dame is still in the Pirates’ district. The Bulldogs are a perennial powerhouse, having won four consecutive Class 3 District 1 championships, including

a 2-0 win over Perryville last season en route to the state championship game. Since moving to District 1 in 2010, Notre Dame has won the district six of a possible eight times. First-year coach Dustin Wengert understands the problem well. Before coming to Perryville last year, he was the athletic director at Notre Dame for three seasons and saw the Bulldogs advance to two final fours. So Wengert knows what his squad is up against.

Pirates From Page 1B just like any other team. “Just like any other district around here,” Wengert said. “You have to go through a good group and you get to that point, you get to a championship game at any level — district level, state level — you’re going to run into a good ball club. ... It’s getting over the name on the front of the jersey. It’s almost like they’re two runs better than you when they show up or they’re 10 points better than you just because of the name on their jersey.” Wengert is taking over for Darin Deckerd, who stepped down after last season, and inherits a young, but experienced squad. When Perryville takes the field for its season opener Aug. 30 versus Jackson, it will have more sophomores (eight) than seniors (six) on its roster. Those underclassmen are used to the varsity level, though, after contributing last season. “When you’re on the field, it doesn’t really stand out who’s a senior, and who’s not. You’re all together,” sophomore Ann-Marie Simpson said. “I mean, you play with the same ball, same bases, against the same team.” They also know what it’s like facing Notre Dame, and have the confidence they can change the narrative after last year’s narrow defeat. In the regular season, Perryville suffered an 11-1 loss to the Bulldogs. It was much closer in the district championship, with Notre Dame escaping three bases-loaded situations to edge the Pirates by two runs. “It kind of gives us an insight of what to expect, so we can kind of come up with a game plan and we can work on that from the beginning to the end,” senior Anna Besand said. A two-time All-Southeast Missourian selection, Besand returns at third base after batting .532. Simpson and Makayla Burns both earned first team all-district and second team all-conference honors as underclassmen as well, as both batted over .450.

Kutz. She was 20-2 last year with a 0.22 ERA and 178 strikeouts in 135 2/3 IP, including a complete-game shutout in the district final. While the start of the season is over a week away, Perryville has been working toward this season for months. Many of the players compete on the Perryville Stars, a traveling team. Simpson said she had two weekends off this summer, and Wengert compares preseason practice for the Pirates to an all-star break. “We all love it,” Simpson said. “Most of us play with the same girls. We’re tight. The bond’s great.” The Pirates hope that bond translates to postseason victories. Wengert, who also plans to coach boys basketball and baseball this year, has had success coaching softball. He coached St. Vincent softball for four years. In the final two-year stint, he led the Indians to back-to-back district finals, where they lost to Kelly both times. Now, he’s trying to make it an easy transition for the players. He’s talked to most of them and plans to keep in place many of their offensive signals and defensive strategies. For their part, the underclassmen are hoping to send Besand and the five other seniors off on a high note. “This is their last year of high school ball, who knows what’s going to happen,” Simpson said. “We want them to finish strong, and I think we’re all working to help them achieve their goals.” The key to doing that, according to Wengert: focus on the things you can control. It doesn’t matter what district a team is in, it will have to beat a solid team to advance. “You’ve just got to go and play good softball,” Wengert said. “That’s what we’ve been focusing on here for the week of camp and the first week of practice, making the routine plays and making sure we execute offensively.”

She has two sons, Chase and Bryce, with her husband Dave, a former baseball assistant coach at Southeast. Lawson takes over following the announcement in December 2017 that eightyear head coach Kristi Ewasko would not have her contract renewed and was being placed on paid administrative leave. The decision came just weeks before the start of the 2018 season, during which assistant Britney Emmons was given the title of “acting head coach.”

Districts From Page 1B through Valle Catholic in Class 1 District 1, which did not lose any teams. It did add Brentwood, which went 5-4 in Class 2 a year ago. Cape Girardeau Central remains in Class 4 District 1, where it continues to butt heads with rival Sikeston. The only departure, Per-

ryville, is replaced by West Plains, which shifts over from Class 4 District 5, where it went 7-2 a year ago. Kelly will have a new foe, with New Madrid County Central coming down from Class 3 to join Class 2 District 1. In moves of note in other sports, two local softball teams that made state runs a year ago will now be district rivals, as Chaffee climbs the ladder from Class 1 to Class

2 and joins Kelly in District 2, which also houses Saxony Lutheran. Cape Girardeau Central departs Class 3 District 1, leaving behind locals Notre Dame and Perryville, and moves into Class 4 District 1, alongside rival Jackson as well as Poplar Bluff. In volleyball, Class 1 teams remain the same, but Advance moves from District 2 to District 3, away from Bell City, Oran and rival Bernie.

It now will face local sides Leopold, Meadow Heights and Zalma in district play. Class 3 District 1 — home two Notre Dame and Perryville — swaps out New Madrid CC for Ste. Genevieve. This is the first year of a new process in which the MSHSAA has announced class and district assignments on an annual basis. In the past, changes were made every two years.

Kasey Kahne signs autographs before practice Friday in Bristol, Tennessee. Kahne announced Thursday he plans to retire from full-time racing in NASCAR.

NASCAR circuit is losing many of its big-name drivers to retirement from its golden era of growing money, popularity BY JENNA FRYER

ASSOCIATED PRESS BRISTOL, Tenn. — Two more drivers are headed to the checkered flag of their NASCAR careers and the laps are winding down for a golden age of racing. Kasey Kahne and Elliott Sadler both said this will be their final season of racing full time as they become the latest two veterans to find they no longer want to be part of the traveling circus. Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, Carl Edwards, Greg Biffle and Danica Patrick already have given up their seats in stock cars to spend more time doing, well, everything they’ve missed in life. Kahne and Sadler, who have a combined 1,589 starts at the NASCAR national level, want to spend more time with their kids and not spend 38 weekends a year at a track. They are part of a group of drivers who broke into NASCAR when the sport went mainstream and money poured in from corporations all over the world. If a driver could get a seat in the Cup Series and parlay it into a strong sponsorship deal, they virtually guaranteed themselves a lengthy career that earned them massive paydays, private planes, mansions, motorhomes and long-term financial security. “I got to basically make a run and live in an awesome time in NASCAR,” said Kahne, who debuted in 2002 and has logged 15 years in the Cup Series. He has 18 career victories and, prior to 2016 when NASCAR stopped publishing winnings, Kahne had earned $71.4 million. Kahne grew up racing sprint cars but followed the path of Stewart, who paved the way for dirt racers to chase new money in NASCAR. Kahne at the end of last year lost his ride with Hendrick Motorsports and has been slogging along this year with single-car team Leavine Family Racing. He is 29th in the Cup standings with one top10 finish all season, but is fresh off watching sprint car driver Brad Sweet drive a Kasey Kahne Racing entry to victory last weekend in the prestigious Knoxville (Iowa) Nationals. Five days after that win, Kahne announced he

Elliott Sadler recently announced his upcoming retirement from NASCAR Xfinity Series racing. wants to spend more time with his young son and his sprint car team. “I need to just back off a little bit,” Kahne said. “My mind is always in racing. It’s all I’ve thought about for 25 years. It’s all I’ve wanted to do and figure out how to get better as a driver, as a team, understanding the cars. That is all that has been on my mind. “So, just back off of that a little bit I think will be really refreshing and be really good for me and my family, friends, things like that.” Sadler cited his two young children and their packed schedules as one of the reasons he’ll stop running full-time in the Xfinity Series at the end of the season. He is currently second in the championship standings.

Stewart and others Stewart stopped racing in NASCAR and now spends most of his nights at dirt tracks. Gordon just took a family vacation to Greece. Patrick is pursuing a new career as a lifestyle guru. Earnhardt got married and had a baby. Edwards abruptly quit NASCAR and has hardly been heard from since he retired after losing the 2016 title. Kyle Busch has a 3-yearold son and is already stressed about the things he will miss while he’s working. He assumes Brexton Busch will want to race, and knows he’ll have to turn some of the guidance over to other adults. But retirement isn’t in the future for the 33-year-old.

Larson takes pole at Bristol Speedway BRISTOL, Tenn. — Kyle Larson won his third pole of the season as he eyes his first NASCAR Cup Series victory of the year. Larson turned a lap at 127.792 mph Friday in qualifying at Bristol Motor Speedway. Chase Elliott was second at 127.665. Kyle Busch was third on a track he’s mastered throughout his career. Busch will be seeking his eighth Cup victory at Bristol in Saturday night’s race. Larson has never won at the track, and his chances

of winning could depend on whether he can hold off Busch, who already has seven Cup victories at Bristol. Busch has won six Cup races this year and holds a narrow lead over Kevin Harvick and Martin Truex Jr. in the season standings. Harvick qualified sixth. The threat of inclement weather has caused the starting time for Saturday’s race to move up to 6:45 p.m., an hour earlier than the originally scheduled start. — Associated Press

“I’ve asked my accountant that question and he says I’m screwed. I’ve got to keep going. I’ve got way too much debt,” Busch said. “I don’t think I can retire as soon as the rest of those guys are currently (retiring).” Reigning NASCAR champion Martin Truex Jr. acknowledged the schedule is a grind, but said he’s found it to be much more tolerable when he’s winning races. His four victories this year trail only series leaders Busch and Kevin Harvick, who have seven wins each. “Definitely busy schedules and look, some of these guys have been racing since they were 6, 7, 8 years old and they have families and they want to do some other things,” Truex said. “The more partners you have, the more things away from the track and the more things you have to do and the more commitments you have. It’s definitely a tough balance.” Truex currently needs sponsorship to keep his Furniture Row Racing team intact. The championship-winning team needs a sponsor for 2019, as well as new contracts with Truex and a manufacturer. Without funding, Truex could be on the move next season, and starting over with a new team would add even more work to his schedule. NASCAR’s final week off of the season follows Saturday night’s race at Bristol and drivers have their last chance to catch their breath before the playoffs begin. But even that is somewhat compromised as many in the field send their children back to school in the coming days. Harvick said next week will be centered around 6-year-old Keelan ending his summer. “I will be there first day,” Harvick said. “You just have to make sure that things are going well so that when you leave, mom is not pinned against the wall and not happy. That’s really part of the lifestyle that we live and part of the situation that we constantly work on – just to make sure that life in general is livable. The off week, where it falls, it revolves around what he does and getting him comfortable in school. That’s really the only plan.”

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Brandt Snedeker couldn’t block out the buzz surrounding his first-round 11-under 59 at the Wyndham Championship. He refocused just in time to reclaim the lead. Snedeker followed his historic opening score with a 67 on Friday to take a two-stroke lead into the weekend at the Wyndham Championship. A day after becoming the 10th player in PGA Tour history to break 60, Snedeker moved to 14-under 126 halfway through the final PGA Tour event before the playoffs. “You hear people telling you every two seconds, ‘Mr. 59,’ or saying how cool it was to watch it,” Snedeker said. “So, yes, totally on your mind.” D.A. Points shot a 64 to reach 12 under — one stroke ahead of C.T. Pan, who also had a 64. David Hearn, Peter Malnati, Keith Mitchell, Harris English, Brett Stegmaier and Sergio Garcia were 9 under. Snedeker, the 2012 FedEx Cup champion, won this tournament in 2007 before it moved across town to the par-70 Sedgefield Country Club. He had the tour’s first 59 of the year during the first round. But it wasn’t easy to follow a score like that. Of the nine previous players who have broken 60 on the tour, six had to play the next day and only one has shot better than 65 in that round: Justin Thomas, who had a 64 in the second round of last year’s Sony Open. “You can’t ignore it, you can’t try to forget about it,” Snedeker said. “Hardest thing is trying to get back into a rhythm. ... Now I’m better equipped for the next time I shoot 59 and play the next day.”

LPGA Tour INDIANAPOLIS — Sung Hyun Park shot a 9-under 63 on Friday for a share of the lead with Lizette Salas during the suspended second round of the Indy Women in Tech Championship. Salas, the first-round leader after a 62, had a 69 to match Park at 13 under at Brickyard Crossing. Danielle Kang and Nasa Hataoka were two shots back. Kang shot 68, and Haraoka 69. The saturated greens became even softer following overnight and afternoon rain. The storms forced a suspension of nearly four hours, with nearly half the field unable to finish before dark. Angel Yin and Amy Yang were the top players unable to finish, tied at 10 under with each having eight holes to play.

Champions Tour ENDICOTT, N.Y. — Doug Garwood birdied the final three holes for an 8-under 64 and the first-round lead Friday in the Dick’s Sporting Goods Open. Michael Bradley and Marco Dawson shot 65, Woody Austin and Clark Dennis followed at 66. — From wire reports

NFL

Rams, Raiders will conduct holdout bowl in Los Angeles ASSOCIATED PRESS When the Raiders return to their old home at the L.A. Coliseum for the first time in nearly 24 years to face the Rams in an exhibition game Saturday, both teams will have key pieces missing. Oakland edge rusher Khalil Mack and Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald, the winners of the past two AP Defensive Player of the Year awards, both are staging contract holdouts as they seek lucrative long-term deals. That gives both teams opportunities to see what kind of pass rush they can get without the two stars. The Raiders were pleased with the inside push rookies P.J. Hall and Maurice Hurst supplied in the exhibition opener against Detroit last week. The game marks the Raiders’ first game at the Coliseum since losing 19-9 to Kansas City on Dec. 24, 1994. The Raiders spent 13 seasons at the Coliseum before returning to Oakland in 1995, winning the Super Bowl following the 1983 season. Rams coach Sean McVay is expected to hold out quarterback Jared Goff, running back Todd Gurley and most key playmakers for a second straight game.

Cousins’ home debut The previous time the Vikings suited up at U.S. Bank Stadium, they beat the New

Orleans Saints in their playoff game on Stefon Diggs’ last-play touchdown catch from Case Keenum. Kirk Cousins watched that one from home, in awe and disbelief like everyone else, not yet knowing Minnesota was the place he would wind up. Now Cousins, who signed a three-year, $84 million, fully guaranteed contract, will put on his new purple jersey in front of Minnesota’s fans for the first time. He is expected to play more than one series after being perfect in the Vikings’ exhibition opener last week at Denver. “The little bit I’ve been there, it’s a great facility,” Cousins said. “I’m just so excited to hear the crowd and go through warmups and just get a feel for the gameday dynamic. I’m sure it’s going to be second to none in the NFL.”

Left behind The Jaguars will be without both cornerback Jalen Ramsey and defensive end Dante Fowler in Minnesota. Both were left at home for disciplinary reasons following a scrap between Fowler and defensive end Yannick Ngakoue. That ought to create more opportunities for rookie defensive end Taven Bryan, who was held out of the game against New Orleans last week because of an abdominal injury. Bryan was the 29th overall pick in the draft out of Florida.

Keenum’s backup John Elway wants to know if his backup QB is on Denver’s roster. Chad Kelly gets a shot at the job against Chicago as the new No. 2 after leapfrogging ineffective Paxton Lynch this week. Kelly was the final player selected in the 2017 draft and sat out his rookie season while recovering from wrist and knee surgeries. He lost weight and had a terrific offseason, then threw for 177 yards and two touchdowns in mop-up duty against the Vikings last week, his first game in more than 640 days. Lynch threw for just 24 yards in seven series and misread defenses over and over. On Monday, Kelly was promoted. New Bears coach Matt Nagy wants more from quarterback Mitchell Trubisky after he struggled in limited action in the preseason opener at Cincinnati.

Re-Pete Seattle coach Pete Carroll already has returned twice to Los Angeles, where he’s still a beloved football figure from his dominant tenure at USC, to face the Rams. Now he’s back in town to lead his Seahawks against Anthony Lynn’s Los Angeles Chargers. Seattle will be eager to see whether one-handed linebacker Shaquem Griffin can match his performance in the preseason opener when he led the Seahawks in tackles.

Falcons linebacker Anthony Winbush pressures Chiefs quarterback Chad Henne during the second half of an NFL preseason game Friday in Atlanta.

Backup QB Henne leads Chiefs to preseason win BY PAUL NEWBERRY

ASSOCIATED PRESS ATLANTA — After a dismal showing in the first preseason game, Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons found their offensive rhythm Friday. Ryan guided the Falcons right down the field for a touchdown on their first possession, hooking up with Austin Hooper on a 4-yard scoring pass, and led another impressive drive before calling it a night in a 28-14 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Ryan finished 5 of 7 for 90 yards, looking very much like the quarterback who won the MVP during the 2016 season even though two of his top weapons, receiver Julio Jones and running back Devonta Freeman, were held out for the second week in a row. It was certainly an encouraging contrast to the preseason opener, when the Falcons (0-2) were blanked 17-0 by the New York Jets and Ryan played only one brief series . With a resting Jones watching from the sideline, Calvin Ridley got a chance to shine for the Falcons. The firstround pick from Alabama hauled in the first touchdown of his professional career on a 7-yard pass from backup quarterback Matt Schaub . Ridley finished with three receptions for 49 yards. Kansas City’s new starting quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, had an up-and-down game. The second-year player was intercepted on a deep throw by Falcons safety Damontae Kazee, who drifted over from the middle of the field to pick a ball intended

for Sammy Watkins. Mahomes caught a break when another ill-advised throw into the end zone was dropped by Falcons cornerback Blidi Wren-Wilson, allowing the Chiefs to salvage a field goal. But, with just 17 seconds left in the first half, Mahomes made the most of his final pass. Three Atlanta defensive backs inexplicably allowed Tyreek Hill to get behind them, and Mahomes delivered the pass in stride for a 69-yard touchdown . Mahomes was 8 of 12 for 138 yards. Chad Henne took over for Mahomes to begin the second half. He connected with Gehrig Dieter on a 27-yard touchdown that put the Chiefs (1-1) ahead for the first time, capping a 10-play, 76-yard drive. Ben Niemann finished off the scoring with a 26-yard interception return for a touchdown after picking off a baffling throw by Atlanta’s third-string quarterback, undrafted rookie Kurt Benkert.

Injury report Another Kansas City player, linebacker Terrance Smith, sustained an ankle injury.The Chiefs also were missing star safety Eric Berry, who didn’t dress while he continues to nurse a sore heel.

Up next Chiefs: Hit the road again to face the Chicago Bears on Aug. 25. Falcons: Travel to Jacksonville that same day to face the Jaguars in a matchup between 2017 playoff teams.

Cardinals From Page 1B the rookie, who has allowed two earned runs in his past 19 innings pitched. Bud Norris earned his 24th save in 28 opportunities. Freddy Peralta (5-4) went six innings, giving up three earned runs. He allowed three hits, walked three, and struck out five. It was his third loss in his last four decisions. Wong’s two-run double in the eighth padded the Cardinals’ lead to 5-2. Jedd Gyorko hit his 10th home run of the season to open the fourth. The shot to left field gave the Cardinals a 3-0 lead. St. Louis took an early lead after Ozuna followed Yadier Molina’s single and a double from Jose Martinez with a hard grounder up the middle. The Brewers threatened a comeback in the eighth. They loaded the bases against Jordan Hicks, and Jesus Aguilar hit a two-run single to pull the score to 3-2 with one out. But Travis Shaw fouled out to left field and Jonathan Schoop’s flair to shallow center field was snagged by shortstop Paul DeJong.

On board Cardinals 1B Matt Carpenter was issued an intentional walk in the seventh and has reached base in 35 consecutive games. It’s the longest such streak in the majors.

Training room Brewers: OF Eric Thames was removed from the game before the bottom of the third inning with a sore right knee. The right fielder collided with center fielder Lorenzo Cain while making a catch in the bottom of the first. ... C Manny Pina was held out of Friday’s game as a precaution following a collision with the Cubs’ Javier Baez on Wednesday. Manager Craig Counsell said Pina should be available for the remainder of the weekend series. Cardinals: RHP Carlos Martinez (right shoulder strain) continues his rehab assignment and was available to work out of the Double-A Springfield bullpen on Friday. The Cardinals announced earlier in the week that Martinez, typically a starter, would serve as a reliever when he returns to St. Louis. The Cardinals hope to have him back next week . IF Yairo Munoz (right wrist sprain) begins his rehabilitation assignment in Springfield on Saturday. . RHP Michael Wacha (left oblique strain) is headed to Palm Beach, Florida to begin a rehab assignment. He went on the DL on June 21.

Up next Braves: LHP Wade Miley (2-1, 2.23) looks for his first win since he went seven innings July 21 in a 1-0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. It was his longest outing of the season. Cardinals: RHP Miles Mikolas (12-3, 2.85) has won five consecutive games.

SKATING THROUGH LIFE Willow Grove Roller Rink rolls on in its second life

STORY AND PHOTOS BY FRED LYNCH

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN

Reese Van Pelt skates with the motions of the song “YMCA” Sunday.

Roberta Grojean selects a pair of roller skates for a customer.

In January 2009, an ice storm collapsed the Willow Grove Roller Rink on Highway 77 in Chaffee, Missouri. The insurance policy didn’t cover ice damage, but that didn’t stop rink owner Roberta Grojean. Rather than rebuild it, she bought the nearby former IGA/Dollar General building and converted it to a skating rink. A year after Mother Nature’s wrath, skating resumed at Willow Grove which is still rolling today. The original roller rink was built in 1950 by Tony and Wilma Grojean, the parents of her husband, Robert. It was larger and had a wooden skating floor. “We had a beginner’s rink that we don’t have here,” Grojean said. In 1959, Robert Grojean started the Willow Grove Rockets Skate Club. He organized five clubs over several years and took them to perform in area parades. By 1979, Robert and Roberta’s son, Robert II, was a member of the Rockets at age 6. Today, he and family members help his mother operate the roller rink that offers open skating on Fridays and Saturdays from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. with private parties available. A $5 admission fee includes skates. “On weekends, she’ll have right at 100 skaters, especially in winter months,” he said.

Robert Grojean tightens the wheels on Jesef Martin’s roller skates so they will roll slower.

“We’re very busy,” Roberta Grojean said. “I have five parties this weekend; three are birthday parties. We have a lot of families because we’re the only rink [in the area].” Years ago, Robert’s father offered skating lessons before he died in 1980. “Now, you just come in and learn,” he said. “Fall, get back up and try again, basically. A lot of young kids catch on very quickly.” On Sunday afternoon, Amanda McIntosh, one of the St. Ambrose School mothers there, circled the rink smoothly on inline skates. She was helping put on a birthday party for her son and another student. The group had organized a “back-to-school bash” at the roller rink. “A lot of the kids don’t get to see each other during the summer, so this brings us all together before we start our first big day of school,” McIntosh said. She started skating over 20 years ago and skated at the old Willow Grove rink. McIntosh joined the youngsters lined up in the center of the rink when it came time to do the “Hokey Pokey.” Later she gave it her best try in the limbo contest, easily rolling under the bar before it got too low for her. The music played by Roberta Grojean is a mix of old and new, and requests are taken anytime. The Willow Grove Roller Rink has outlasted rinks in nearby cities. It’s still a place where the good times roll.

Raccoon in summertime T

he raccoon is one of our easiest native animals to recognize. He is distinguished in his black facemask and ringed tail. In summertime he becomes a pest in several ways. He is much like a little black bear seeking out trash cans to turn over and investigate for a free lunch. Food scraps tossed

into a trash can put off more odor during the hot days of summer than any other season. Raccoons have very good sense of smell, and rotting garbage is an open invitation for them to visit. Raccoons will eat almost anything humans will eat — and more. Fruit, meat scraps, vegetables, dog/cat food,

fish, insects and even sunflower seed are all on the raccoon’s menu. I captured this image of a raccoon coming out of the brush where I had previously thrown cut ends and shucks from several sweet-corn ears. Raccoons are beautiful animals that can grow to about the size of a medium

sized bulldog. They have sharp teeth and claws and will not hesitate to fight either dog or man when cornered. If you are an unlucky homeowner who has ever had raccoons take up residence in the attic of your home, you know the trouble they can cause and the difficulty in getting them removed.

Burdens or concerns S

eems like burdens or concerns are a way of life for most of us here on this earth. Big ones and little ones, some closer than others and some hurts more than others. But they are real. Webster has burden meaning a “heavy load.” A concern is “a worry, anxiety.” This makes sense. A burden is like a weight on our spirit that seems to be like a backpack full of rocks just weighing us down. But then I guess if one didn’t care a burden wouldn’t seem so real and important or hurt so much. But it’s hard not to care. Many of us have pets of one kind or another. And it seems like them little suckers sneak into our hearts and make us love them. Our baby cat in the house is one example. She was one of our high tunnel cats so she was probably my cat. She was really little with her weighing about a pound. She got sick, really sick. I was concerned about her or burdened. So I took her to the vet here in Scott City. They did tests which meant she had blood drawn. She was dehydrated enough it was hard to get blood so it took a bunch of shots. I was wishing they could shoot me and let her alone by the end. Don’t get me wrong they were doing their job and doing it well. I was burdened or concerned for Beebee. So I brought her home on drugs and she became a house cat. She is doing well but still doesn’t weight three pounds. She will probably always be little. Several of my good friends have ended up getting cancer so little by little I watched them die. Talk about a burden. Spent many

an hour praying for them and taking them before God. It was hard giving them to God and letting them go on to heaven. The burden then changed to more of “I miss them” and not so much a burden. Still miss them. But rather then look at this burden as negative I have always looked at it as a joy to take a person I care about and pray for them. Several years ago all our baby calves got the scours at the same time and got sick. We had seven bottle babies so this was unusual. Hate when my babies get sick. I know they are just calves but them being sick was a burden. What increased the load was one of them, the youngest, started having seizures. He would be acting fine and he’d tense up and have a seizure. Now what? It took a while but we figured out what the problem was and all but one of them recovered. One was sick enough he went and died on

me. This whole deal was a burden, a concern. Turns out it was some of their feed. Burden — yes, but not one without joys. I truly enjoy our steers. I like to go down by the pasture where they are and just sit and watch them. If I didn’t have the steers I’d lose one concern or burden. Nope. I’ll keep the steers and deal with the burden or concern as they come. If you have kids they are an absolute joy but they can also be a burden. The odd thing is even as they get older like ours they are still a burden or a concern. My wife worries about them when they travel. Our one son likes to take off and travel to some distant city so my wife worries. She is concerned or burdened if you will. And as we age we begin to have aches and pains in odd places. So we are concerned. Many times we look at burdens as bad and unhealthy. I don’t think this is right. I think it’s healthy to have burdens and cares. It’s how we are made. We have several mama cats and they dearly love their babies. And when it comes down to it I fully believe they would give up their life for their babies. That’s real love. I hear of incidents where mothers and dads do shameful things to their kids and I have to wonder what is wrong with them. They can’t be right or healthy. They just can’t be all right and harm their babies.

Town and Country FCE As I was growing up I know Mom and Dad sacrificed for us kids. They did without so that we could have some of the things we desired or wanted. We were a burden but at the same time a joyful burden. Today it seems like kids are having kids in kind of a flippant way with almost no thought about the long term relationship they are starting. No thought that this child is mine to feed and clothe and protect and pray for and be there for maybe 50 to 60 or even 70 years. Parenthood is a joyful burden but it is still a burden or a concern. I’ve watched people adopt a cute little puppy that will eventually grow up into adulthood. The reality is the puppy grows up and changes from puppyhood into adulthood with a whole new set of challenges. And that same puppy might be a part of your family for 15 or 20 years. We had a house cat that lived to be at least 25 or 26 years old. She at times was a burden but overall a joy to be around. I miss Chubby. So in your journey through life embrace the burdens laid upon you. Deal with the ones you can solve or fix. But be sure to accept the difficult ones that weight upon your soul. Grow as you journey under this burden or concern. Make it your goal that at the end of your days be able to say “It is well with my soul.”

The Town and Country FCE Club met Aug. 9 at the University of Missouri Extension building with Lois Seabaugh as hostess. Roll call was answered by telling something for which each member was thankful. The minutes and treasurer’s reports were read and approved. Many thanks were given to Mary Klaproth for watering and maintaining the flower bed located at the Extension Center. Members discussed whether to continue the Dolls for Child Advocacy project. After discussion, Town and Country Club members voted to discontinue the project. At the Sept. 6 council meeting, there will be discussion and a vote by all Cape County FCE Clubs relevant to discontinuing this project. Klaproth reported on the MAFCE Conference held Aug. 28 and 29 in Jefferson City, Missouri. She reported that current registration is low for this event. Klaproth will be the only attendee from Town and Country FCE. The club was to host a back-toschool party for Cottonwood Treatment Center on Aug. 16. Ice cream was furnished by the club with Donna Woolsey and Lois Seabaugh donating the root beer for the floats.

The food pantry items brought to the August meeting were delivered to the Jackson Food Pantry on Aug. 13. Members will attend the Southeast District Fair together Sept. 11, at 5 p.m. A slate of officers was presented and approved as follows: Darlene McCain, president; Alene Hamilton, vice president; Mary Klaproth, secretary and reporter; Brenda Pender, treasurer; Judy Niswonger, cards and gifts; and Karen Murphy, song and games. Membership forms were completed and annual dues were paid for the 2019 year. It was voted the club’s Pennies for Friendship collection would be sent to “National Help Water For All.” Sewing for the County Autism Project will be held on Sept. 25, starting at 9 a.m. Leader training programs for the 2019 year were handed out. Bingo prizes for the Lutheran Home should be brought to the September meeting. Karen Murphy had a game of making new words from a sentence. Club out will be at Hickory House at 6:30 p.m. on Aug. 23. Next meeting will be on Sept. 13, hosted by Donna Woosley. Darlene McCain will give the lesson on taking care of your happiness. — From staff reports

This combination of photos shows actress Reese Witherspoon, center, with two cover images of novels she selected for her book club: “Something In The Water,” by Catherine Steadman, left, and “Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine,” by Gail Honeyman. Witherspoon is one of several celebrities who have book clubs.

From Reese Witherspoon to SJP, the rise of celeb book clubs BY ALICIA RANCILIO

ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Jimmy Fallon remembers a summer a few years back when it seemed everybody was reading “Gone Girl” by Gillian Flynn. “Everyone had that book. If we had people over, or went on vacation poolside, people had that book wrinkled and curled up. I read it with my wife and we read every chapter together and we’d be like, ‘(Gasps) This is great!’ It was the world’s smallest book club,” he laughed. This summer, Fallon decided to expand his book club of two to include his late-night audience. In June, he launched “Tonight Show Summer Reads.” Fallon presented five book options on his show and instructed viewers to go online and vote for their favorite. The results exceeded his expectations with 140,000 votes. The winner was “Children of Blood and Bone” by Tomi Adeyemi. “Any way to engage the audience and to do stuff with them is always more fun,” said Fallon. He also enthusiastically tracked how the books performed on Amazon after a mention on his show. The company confirms he had an impact. “When a celebrity decides to get behind a book, we generally see a lift in sales,” said Chris Schluep, an editor at Amazon. “For instance, ‘Children of Blood and Bone’ has been selling well this year. But the week after Jimmy Fallon selected it as the first ‘Tonight Show’ book club selection, it sold nearly three times the number of print, Kindle and Audible books that it had sold in the previous week at Amazon.” Fallon isn’t the only celebrity to follow in Oprah Winfrey’s footsteps with a book club. Reese Witherspoon has made such a success of her monthly literary picks that publishers are now putting Reese stickers on her selections. “It’s fantastic and we have a great experience,” said Witherspoon, who has bought the rights to many of her picks to adapt for film

or television. One of her selections, “Little Fires Everywhere” by Celeste Ng will be a limited series on Hulu starring Witherspoon and Kerry Washington. The Oscar winner has also partnered with the audio producer-distributor Audible on audio recordings of her selections. Emma Roberts has turned her lifelong love of reading into a pet project she calls Belletrist. A website and social media for Belletrist celebrate all things books. Each month they feature a new book to read and even an independent book store to check out. “Belletrist is my baby,” said Roberts, who runs the site with her partner, Karah Preiss. She says there are “no criteria” for books she features because her personal taste is so varied, but she does tend to learn toward highlighting female authors. She wants to create a community for Belletrist followers to share thoughts and ideas about what they read. Sarah Jessica Parker is so committed to reading that she’s partnered with the American Library Association to share her own suggestions. The goal, she says, is to not only get people to read but to also support their own local libraries. When Parker was approached by publishing house Hogarth to start her own imprint, her respect for writing initially made her think it wasn’t a good idea. “I didn’t think I had the experience and had too much respect for people who’ve

been in publishing for a long time,” she said. But Parker then thought it could be a way to help champion works in the literary fiction space which isn’t always as commercial. The first novel printed by SJP for Hogarth, “A Place for Us” by Fatima Farheen Mirza, is a New York Times best-seller. Parker said she also enjoys posting about books on social media because it’s a safe topic. Books are the “one thing I can talk about on Instagram that’s not controversial,” she said. “Everybody wants to talk about their favorite books or their feelings about books and share title recommendations. I mean, it’s a huge exchange of information and enthusiasm and it’s really the easiest part of my relationship with social media certainly.” Like Witherspoon, Roberts and Parker are open to the idea of giving a book they recommend the Hollywood treatment. “One of the most exciting things about reading is thinking about how to bring it to life. I’m always imagining the show or the movie. We’re in an exciting time,” said Roberts. Parker stresses her goal first and foremost is to help the author. “I’m in it really for the genuinely purest of intentions — to introduce new authors to readers. And if the opportunity exists for there to be a discussion about any television or film rights, I would certainly enter in to those conversations. But that isn’t in any way my incentive.”

Aquino Jr., ending a self-imposed exile in the United States, was shot dead moments after stepping off a plane at Manila International Airport. 1992, an 11-day siege began at the cabin of white separatist Randy Weaver in Ruby Ridge, Idaho, as government agents tried to arrest Weaver for failing to appear in court on charges of selling two illegal sawed-off shotguns; on the first day of the siege, Weaver’s teenage son, Samuel, and Deputy U.S. Marshal William Degan were killed. 1851, the schooner America outraced more than a dozen British vessels off the English coast to win a trophy that came to be known as the America’s Cup. 1986, Kerr-McGee Corp. agreed to pay the estate of the late Karen Silkwood $1.38 million, settling a 10-year-old nuclear contamination lawsuit. 1992, on the second day of the Ruby Ridge siege in Idaho, an FBI sharpshooter killed Vicki Weaver, the wife of white separatist Randy Weaver (the sharpshooter later said he was targeting the couple’s friend Kevin Harris, and didn’t see Vicki Weaver).

Aug. 23: 1775, Britain’s King George III proclaimed the American colonies to be in a state of “open and avowed rebellion.” 1927, amid worldwide protests, Italian-born anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were executed in Boston for the murders of two men during a 1920 robbery.

Willow Grove Rockets Skate Club From the Nov. 14, 1979, edition of the Southeast Missourian:

Super skating launches Rockets BY MARK BLISS

MISSOURIAN STAFF WRITER CHAFFEE o some people the Willow Grove Rockets may be just a roller skating club, but to Robert Grojean it’s more than that — it is his life. For the personality of the skating club is in many ways the personality of Grojean. Roller skating is nothing new to Grojean. His family has been in the roller skating business since 1950 when his parents opened the Willow Grove Roller

Rink here. During the 1950s, Grojean spent about five and a half years working in St. Louis. He started out working at a chemical plant and later owned his own restaurant before returning to Chaffee in 1958 to manager the roller rink. “But even while I was up there (in the St. Louis area), I did a lot of skating at a roller rink,” he recalls. Once Grojean took over as manager of the Willow Grove Roller Rink, it didn’t take him long to start his first skate club. In 1959, he started the Willow Grove Rockets Skate Club. Since that time he has had five separate skating clubs, all using the name Rockets. He explains

that one group of skaters would usually drop out after several years and then he would start another club. His current Willow Grove Rockets Skate Club is his fifth group. The majority of those members have been together about three years. “But instead of phasing it out this time, we plan to continue the skating club by taking in a lot of new members,” notes Grojean. The skating club has grown over the years to its present size of about 100 skaters in uniform. “Every year we take in 20 to 40 new members,” says Grojean. “We are now serving some of the original

Cape Country Club’s golf pro won U.S. Women’s Open I

n March 1962 the Cape Girardeau Country Club hired a married couple — Fred and Murle Lindstrom — as golf pros, after several years of having no one in that position. Three months later, Murle Lindstrom headed for Florida and the U.S. Women’s Open golf championship, intending it to be her last tournament. She came home with an unexpected first-place finish. Published March 28, 1962:

Country club gets husband-wife pro club combination After not having a professional golfer on hand for years, the Cape Girardeau Country Club has taken a complete turnabout by getting not one, but two pros. The two, however, are a bargain because they come for the price of one. They are a husband-wife team, Fred and Murle Lindstrom, who have been playing golf since their early teens and who met, courted and now practically live on a golf course. (They got married in a church.) Fred, 25, a native of Jamestown, New York, has been playing since he was 13 when he commuted with his parents between Jamestown and Florida. His father was in the mobile homes business and young Fred spent the winters in Florida and his summers in New York. He would

faith/community Loving those not like you L

oving people who are like you is easy. In the Bible, Jesus says it does you no good only to love those who love you. To only do good to those you do good to you. Only give to others what is guaranteed to be returned. Loving others, particularly those who are not like you, is risky. The Bible prescribes ways that you can love those who are not like you? You love people who are not like you by seeing them as God sees them. When you look at people who are not like you, it is easy to generalize and categorize them. “That’s just how tall people are.” “All first-born children are bossy.” “Drivers of red cars are arrogant.” They, whoever they are, cease being human. They are a category. They have been generalized, categorized and dismissed. But, when we see them as God sees them he sees them as his creation, unique, and, if in Christ, his own we can love them more easily.

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

You love people who are not like you by seeing yourself as God sees you. You are a person who has received much grace. You are a person who makes a thousand mistakes before breakfast. You are not perfect. Seeing your imper-

fection can be a catalyst act graciously. To care for the calloused. You can more easily love those who are not like you when you realize how much grace you have already been given. Those who have received much grace, give grace. You love people who are not like you by seeing both of you as God sees you. Seeing you as men and women of every race, tongue and nation whom He will gather to himself. In Acts 10 God reveals to Peter, who had a very exclusive view of who could follow Jesus, that all men, in all places can be favored by forgiven by God and therefore stripped of their fear of death. God calls us to love people as he sees them. Precious. Unique. Created in his image. When we stop seeing others as God sees them, we will devalue, degrade, and dismiss them. When we practice loving others, particularly those who are not like us, much good is created for them and us.

Benediction I

do not think we know how to end things very well. Many parents will be driving their teenagers to college for the first time this week. There will be an awkward moment in which the parents feel that it’s time to leave; their child will look at them and they will know the time has arrived to say “goodbye.” Eyes will be filled with tears and hearts will ache. For most people, it will be a moment that will be equal parts painful, joyous and awkward. We don’t do well with goodbyes. As a pastor, it’s sometimes difficult to know how to end a worship service. How do you say goodbye? You’ve all just spent this intentional time together singing, praying, listening and learning (and some may have been napping). How do you button this time up? There are obviously lots of different kinds of ways to provide a “parting moment,” but the one that has come to mean the most to me is the benediction. Translated from Latin, the word “benediction” means “to speak well” and it refers to the words of divine blessing or invocation. For centuries both Jews and Christians have been ending their worship services with a benediction of sorts. In the oft-neglected biblical book of Numbers, there exists a beautiful benediction that is often called the Priestly Blessing: “The Lord bless you and

They stayed in close contact, however, via the mails and telephone. “We spent all our money those days paying the phone bill,” Fred said with a chuckle. Get Married Last summer he got out of the service and the two of them went together to guy a golf driving range in Jamestown. They were married July 3, 1961. They sold the range in the fall and went to Florida for the winter, where Fred took an associate pro position at Venice while Murle played the golf circuit. Fred has never been on the circuit, but Murle has. (The circuit refers to a series of golf tournaments held across the country in which top professional golfers complete.)

keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the Lord lift his countenance upon you, and give you peace” (Numbers 6:24-26). God instructed Aaron to speak this word of blessing over the Israelites and it eventually served as the way to end their services at the Temple. The people were reminded that, as they go from this place, God’s blessing, graciousness, and peace follows them. It was a reminder that the end of the service was not a goodbye.

professional right after high school in 1957. She entered the golf tour right away and although not winning any major tourney first place, she consistently placed in the money enough to earn her living. The highest finish was the second place. In 1959 she was voted the most improved female professional golfer. She finally hit pay dirt during the present winter tour when she won the North Palm Beach Tournament in February, nosing out nationally famous Mickey Wright by a stroke. Fred and Murle will both give lessons in golf as part of their duties at the Country Club (the city’s golfers have been without any professional instruction). Murle will take time out from time to time to continue on the golf tour on a part-time basis, hitting only the major tournaments. She plans on competing in the Title Holders Tournament at Augusta, Georgia, in Mid-April. The couple will be in charge of the Pro-Shop, where golfing supplies can be purchased, and will also handle a club storage facility. Fred will divide

MDC seeks public input on crappie fishing at lake DAILY AMERICAN REPUBLIC The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is seeking public input on a possible regulation change for crappie fishing at Wappapello Lake in Wayne County to both allow anglers to keep more crappie and promote more consistency in the quality of the fishery. Wappapello Lake is a popular fishing location in Southeast Missouri. According to MDC, crappie are the most popular fish sought by anglers fishing the lake. Under the existing MDC regulation, anglers may harvest a daily limit of 30 white and black crappie combined with a minimum length of 9 inches. Under the proposed regulation change, there will be no minimum length limit for

benediction to my beloved community at the end of every service. I do so because I want them to realize that worship is not “over” just because we are all now scattered to our various lunch locales. A local congregation exists in the midst of our gathered time together but (more importantly) also as we have now been spread throughout the community. I want to leave them with a reminder that as they go from our church, they are being encouraged and commissioned to spread the Good News of God’s abundant love. Each Sunday, I raise my hands and I speak the words of the benediction below. As I do so, I walk amongst the congregation. I want them to realize that God’s grace and love follows them as they move into the neighborhood. This benediction is one I heard every Sunday from a beloved mentor and he heard it from a mentor in his life. I say these words to the congregation that I love every single week: May the One who seeks you, find you when you fall. May the One who loves you take delight in your living. And may the One who sends you, send you now in joy; for in your gladness and in your grieving, in your brokenness and in your healing, in your faithfulness and in your leaving, the One who made you and redeemed you is the One who keeps you still. Amen.

some of his time with the Jaycee Golf Course, giving instructions there. He says he has plans for conducting interesting and different tournaments for the golfers in Cape Girardeau, in hopes of stirring up even more interest in one of the fastest growing sports in America today. Fred indicated that next winter he might take a fling at the golf tour himself, through the winter months while golfing activity is at a standstill here in Cape Girardeau. The couple will live at the Country Club, but are presently staying at a motel until living arrangements at the club are completed.

members’ grandchildren,” he adds. Because of scheduling conflicts with their jobs or school activities, not all 100 members are in attendance at any one performance. “Some of them are in (high school) band. I recommend that the school activities have got to come first,” the skating rink manager says. The current group of skaters, who range from 6 to 25 years of age, come from Chaffee, Kelso, Delta, Gordonville, Whitewater, Oran, Jackson, Cape Girardeau, Illmo, Scott City and Morley. The interest shown in the club by Southeast Missouri residents means that “I’ll probably be adding several more towns to this list soon,” he added. Grojean explained he started his first roller skating club because of a lack of interest in professional style dance skating. “I was teaching professional style dance skating at the time. But the problem was that nobody wanted to sit and watch it,” he remembers. Because of that, his skate club has concentrated on more acrobatic type stunts such as spins and jumping barrels. But his group is currently working on a new disco dance number which Grojean said will be centered around 1950s dance moves. The Willow Grove Rockets originally performed at area roller rinks because the hard wheels on the skates made it impossible to perform stunts on rough street surfaces. The problem with performing at area rinks was that residents of other towns and members of their towns’ skating rinks often resented being kept off the floor by a performance of the Rockets. “We had trouble finding rinks to perform at,” he pointed out. That problem, however, was eliminated with the advent of the softer polyurethane skate wheel which made it possible to perform on the streets. For about three years now, the Willow Grove Rockets have been displaying their

crappie. The daily limit will remain at 30 crappie, but not more than 15 of those fish could be above 9 inches. “Only about two percent of the black crappie in Wappapello ever reach nine inches,” explained MDC Fisheries Management Biologist Dave Knuth. “Therefore, not many black crappie get harvested by anglers with the current regulation.” The proposed regulation change would allow anglers to harvest more of the slow growing black crappie, while preventing overharvest of white crappie. “I hope to see a lot of the anglers at these upcoming meetings and have the opportunity to visit with them about this proposed change,” Knuth said.

MDC will hold two public meetings focusing on the proposed regulation change for Wappapello Lake: Sept. 17, 6 to 8 p.m. at New Home General Baptist Church, 1864 Hwy AA, Poplar Bluff, MO 63901. Sept. 18, 6 to 8 p.m. at Greenville Elementary Gymnasium, 195 Walnut St., Greenville, MO 63944 MDC invites public comment on the proposed regulation change online at www.mdc.mo.gov/CrappieComments. Fishing regulations can vary between waters so anglers should check regulations for the specific waters they are fishing For more information about fishing in Missouri, visit https:// huntfish.mdc.mo.gov/fishing.

skills in area parades, according to Grojean. The group no longer performs at roller rinks. Since that time the Rockets have appeared in the SEMO State University Homecoming Parade twice and have made appearances in Jackson’s Christmas Parade and in the Southeast Missouri District Fair Parade. The Chaffee club won a trophy at this year’s fair parade for being the most entertaining entry. The group has also appeared several times on local television. Some streets, such as those at Jackson, are rough to perform on. But Grojean noted that the SEMO Homecoming Parade is “ideal.” He attributes that to the fact that Broadway is a relatively smooth street to skate on. Performing on the street is not easy. According to Grojean, “It takes four times the power and energy to perform a stunt on the street than it does in here (a roller rink).” The Chaffee skate club coach said his club had planned to perform its act about three times in each block during this year’s Homecoming parade, “but we ended up doing it about five times in a block. “The crowd clapped and cheered so loud that part of my unit couldn’t even hear my whistle (by which he signals the skaters),” recalled the stating rink manager. “Everything went great for us,” he said of the SEMO Homecoming Parade. Grojean maintained that “this is the only group anywhere that does this kind of act in the streets.” The roller skating coach said he and his club members have designed every stunt they perform. “We designed everything we’ve got ourselves. Every act we’ve got, I’ve named myself. About everything we know or do on skates was learned right here over the years,” noted Grojean as he pointed out his skaters practicing at the Willow Grove Roller Rink. Grojean says he generally works with his skaters during regular skating sessions on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights at the Chaffee roller rink. The roller rink, which was enlarged in 1960, features two rinks. The original rink

is now used for beginners, according to Grojean. The business is a family affair. His mother takes care of the skate rental part of the business. His son, Bobby, now 6, is a member of the Rockets and can often be found at the rink. Grojean said his son has been on skates since he was 18 months old. “It takes about three years to train a person from scratch to the point where he is confident enough to perform on the streets,” said Grojean. Surprisingly, he said the skaters usually are taken out on the streets only once before a parade performance. The Willow Grove Rockets currently are working on some new stunts. One of those, to be unveiled at the Jackson Christmas Parade on Dec. 1, is a jump over a car. “There is only one problem,” Grojean remarked laughingly. “I went out and measured a Fiat the other day and it is too small.” Concerning the car jump, Grojean pointed out, “We’ve not even attempted it before.” He said the jump will be performed three times during the course of the Jackson parade. He acknowledged that there is an element of risk in every stunt. “Every one of these kids has to trust me almost completely.” During his years as a skating instructor, none of his skaters has had any serious accidents. He points out that the only thing that can defeat his club is the weather. According to Grojean, his group will not perform in parades on wet streets. The skating coach is proud of his club and particularly the efforts of his skaters. “I’ve taught wrestling, judo, and skating. I’ve worked with kids all my life. And there’s no limit to what these kids can do. “It’s a lot of work to work with these kids, but it is also a lot of satisfaction,” he pointed out. Grojean said he has seen interest in roller skating come and go. But one thing has remained the same — his belief in his skaters and the Willow Grove Rockets Skate Club. “I’m very proud of them. I am proud of this club,” he concluded.

DEAR ABBY

Toxic family casts doubt on couple’s future plans Dear Abby: I am in my late 20s and dating a man in his mid30s whom I am crazy about. We EANNE have been HILLIPS dating for a year and are starting to discuss marriage and children. He’s kind, hard-working, gives back to the community, and does everything he can to make me happy. My problem is his family. His mother curses and yells at him every few months, usually around the holidays when he tells her he’s splitting his time between his family and mine. She breaks him down any way she can, such as finding fault with me or bringing up mistakes he made 10 or 15 years ago. His sister tells him often that she doesn’t like me because of things she

J P

claims I said or did. She has also attacked me on social media. The rest of the family gets involved in the drama and even blackmailed him (insinuating they would get him fired) when he tried to ignore them. A week or so after these outbursts occur, his family pretends nothing happened. He admits his family has “issues,” but he still wants a relationship with them. I try to limit my time with them, but I’m worried about our future. He would make an amazing husband, but I am unsure how — or if — I can get past his toxic family. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated. Happily Ever After? Dear Happily: I can see why you would question a future with a man from a family that guilts, manipulates and lies to the degree that his does. Whether you can overcome the baggage he will carry after you leave the altar is debatable.

It might help if the two of you discuss this not only with each other, but also with a clergyperson who can give you unbiased premarital counseling. If you do get married, consider moving farther away from his family to secure your independence. He may also have to find another job if he’s under their thumb financially. Dear Abby: My teenage son came to us because he feels lonely and like no one cares. He says he knows his family is there for him and loves him, but he’s looking for that special girl. I talked to him and tried to let him know that right now he needs to focus on himself and where he wants to go with his life, and eventually he will meet someone. He has now told me that he has had thoughts of hurting himself and wants to talk with a counselor. We have made an appointment for him. My question is, is it

a good sign that he is seeking help now before he has done anything? He hasn’t harmed himself in any way, doesn’t use drugs, doesn’t drink or engage in risky behavior. I want to believe that since he is asking early, all will be OK. Very Concerned Mom in Arizona

SATURDAY/SUNDAY SUPER STUMPER SUDOKU

Dear Mom: It’s appropriate to believe that. Kudos to your son. The people you have to worry about are the ones who hide their sadness and pretend everything is OK when it really isn’t. I assume that you made an appointment for your son with a licensed mental health professional. When your son goes, encourage him to be as open with his therapist about his feelings as he can, so he can get the help he is asking for. Dear Abby is written by Contact Dear Abby at www. DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Dear Sam Resume, interview and job search advice.

Class is in session! Personal branding 101 How much experience should I present on my resume?

As I receive so many questions— often from readers facing the same conundrums—I thought I would address some of the most frequently asked questions in the hopes that my answers will point you in the right direction when it comes to personal branding best practices.

Q A

How do you get past the Applicant Tracking Systems?

Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) are simply automating what human screeners do— looking for relevant keywords and key phrases that one would assume would be in a qualified applicant’s resume. As an ATS is not human, it of course, does not have the subjectivity to think beyond the keyword, meaning if a resume does not contain the keyword saturation desired, that resume will not be selected. In contrast, a human screener would be able to say, “well, he doesn’t have experience in this area but he did go to this school and I like that.” Hence, your resume has to be ultra-targeted in order to be successful emerging from

Typically, hiring managers expect to see about 10-15 years of experience presented on a resume. Omitting earlier experience will not be seen as misleading, as recent, relevant experience is most important. Having said that, this does not mean you can’t include earlier positions. You may, however, want to consider bylining foundational roles without dates to avoid potentially aging and/or over-qualifying your candidacy. This simply means breaking format—and therefore justifying a change in the way information will be presented—and placing a note at the end of your professional experience with a mention that you possess that foundational experience, yet not dating the role(s). This could be as simple as, “Foundational experience with National Enterprise as a Sales Specialist” or you can go into greater detail, even presenting some highlights.

those automated ATS screens. Check out my keyword mapping exercise Dear Sam Live video for insight on how to overcome the ATS challenge.

It is one thing to perhaps develop one resume for two purposes when they are closely related, but quite another to try to develop a resume for anything

How do I write a resume that opens the most doors possible?

Not easily! Defining your target is critically important in creating an effective resume. Without a clearly defined audience, how will you know what message—and all-important keywords—will resonate with that reader?

and everything. Avoid the latter, realizing that just because you write a resume with an openended target certainly does not—and likely will not—mean you open more doors. In fact, the more targeted your resume, the more return on investment you will earn.

A hearing will be held at 5:00 p.m., August 27, 2018 at 301 North Clark, Cape Girardeau, Missouri, at which time citizens may be heard on the property tax rates proposed to be set by the Cape Girardeau School Board of Education, a political subdivision. The tax rates are set to produce the revenues from the property tax required by the budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2018. 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

Living it up by downsizing Southeast Missouri REALTORS® People buy and sell homes for many reasons. Perhaps they need to relocate for a job, or maybe they simply want a change of scenery. However, according to the National Association of Realtors®’ if you are 50 years old or older chances you are selling your home to downsize. The reasons for downsizing can vary depending on what stage of life the person or family is entering. For younger baby boomers, those born between 1955-1964, the reason to downsize might be that all of their children have moved out, or maybe the

home has just become too expensive to maintain. For older baby boomers (born between 1946-1954) and members of the Silent Generation (between 1925-1945) who are entering or are in retirement, downsizing can help increase a nest egg or decrease the amount of work needed to keep up the home. Some of the benefits that come with downsizing are: Saving money. Not only is a smaller house less expensive to purchase, the ancillary costs of the home are also reduced. Less house also means less to maintain, meaning costs for repairs, gardening, etc., will go down as well. Less to clean and maintain. If you decrease the size of your living space, logically you decrease the space you

need to clean. Downsizing can also force you to re-examine your ‘stuff ’ and how much of it you actually need, helping you to de-clutter. More free time. With less to clean and take care of comes more time for other things. For those starting their retirement, this is more time to start a new hobby, spend time with your family or to simply relax and enjoy. Who wants to spend their retirement making sure the rooms no one uses are clean? If you are considering or in the process of downsizing, the most important thing you can do is hire a Realtor®. Realtors® can provide valuable counsel, discuss listings, show you homes in person and negotiate on your behalf.

INDOOR GREENHOUSES Take some of the work out of growing vegetables

RECIPE SWAP

Not just on the side salad H

ot summer, dog days of August calls for a cool and refreshing salad. Whether that salad is a main course or a side dish, I find the salad is my favorite part of the meal. I enjoy trying different mixtures in all kinds of unlikely combinations. Somehow it always turns out and then I forget what I did; maybe I should start writing them down! Today, I have put together a wide variety of entree and side salad recipes for you to add to your summer menus.

Dilly Blue Cheese Potato Salad The fresh dill really makes this potato salad pop with flavor. It’s also really tasty when you use Yukon Gold or other tiny, multicolored potatoes. Paired with a some BBQ chicken or a spicy bratwurst, this potato salad can’t be beat.

George Rebeiro Brooks Jr. is on his orchard in Tewksbury, Massasschusetts. Brooks Jr. has more than 45 years experience growing fruits and vegetables but still found it difficult to grow lettuce indoors. BY TRACEE M. HERBAUGH

ASSOCIATED PRESS You don’t need a green thumb to grow vegetables indoors. On the contrary, there are plenty of indoor greenhouses that take the work out of growing plants, from the amount of water they get to the right dosage of light. One of these indoor greenhouses — or automated growing systems, as they’re referred to — was created by six engineering students at Rice University. Aside from planting the seeds, the greenhouse does pretty much everything. It’s about the size of a small bookshelf and operates anywhere indoors. “We didn’t want it to take up too much space in an apartment,” said Harrison Lin, a student who worked on the project. He said they wanted to “make it not intrusive, but it could still grow a useful amount of plants.” There are push buttons on the device to designate how much light and water the plants get, and to determine the temperature inside it. If you’re feeling extremely hands-off, there are three pre-set options: leafy greens, roots and herbs. Select what you’re growing and go about your business. “In the most ideal circumstance, you plant your seeds, put on the correct settings and walk away until it’s ready to harvest,” said Jack Kaplan, another student on the team. Most indoor growing systems are hydroponic,

George Reberio Brooks Jr. touches some of the plants blooming in his orchard greenhouse in Tewksbury, Massachusetts. Brooks Jr. has more than 45 years experience growing fruits and vegetables but still found it difficult to grow lettuce indoors. meaning plants are planted in water mixed with mineral nutrients, but this one uses a soil trough for planting. LED bulbs provide the plants with the red-blue spectrum of light needed to grow. The only maintenance is refilling the water tank every three weeks. The students built three of these indoor greenhouses as a senior project. They were installed at the HSB Living Lab, a residential research facility at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden. Growing food indoors, often in small spaces like city apartments, has become popular. In 2017, indoor gardening was listed as a popular trend in a report by Garden Media Group, a marketing group that tracks industry. Apartment dwellers have less

room for a traditional garden but still want fresh veggies. Businesses are noticing the expanded interest in at-home gardening. AeroGarden, majority-owned by Scotts Miracle-Gro and the Hawthorne Gardening Company, is another automated in-home growing system on the market. It’s automated, hydroponic systems range in size and price point — the smallest retails for $99 and holds three plants, while the largest sells for nearly $700 and grows 24. Sales have grown over 20 percent year over year since 2013, and last year’s sales grew by more than 30 percent, according to company numbers. Automated systems take the guess-work out of gardening, said Clydette

Alsup-Egbers, an associate professor of plant science at Missouri State University. The biggest reason that indoor plants die, she said, is over-watering. If an automated system is used, that risk is eliminated. “People who are new to growing don’t know what they’re doing,” she said. “A kit makes them feel more confident.” Automating everything is what commercial greenhouses have done for years, said Julie Bare, an estate gardener at Meadowbrook Farm, located in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, and owned by the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. Bare helps grow some of the hundreds of plants on display in the renowned Philadelphia Flower Show. To do this, greenhouses are necessary; the show is held annually in March, which means short days and cold temperatures. Still, even the most seasoned gardener can run into problems with indoor vegetables. A few years ago, George Rebeiro Brooks Jr., a retired mechanical engineer, tried growing lettuce in pots inside at his home in Tewksbury, Massachusetts. Brooks, who owns Green Hollow Orchards, has grown apples, tomatoes and other plants for local farmers markets for more than 45 years. But his indoor lettuce turned out limp, not crispy. “It’s just my guess, but I think it didn’t have the right air circulation indoors to make it toughen up,” he said.

Transfer to a serving bowl. Add beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, onion and 3/4 cup basil leaves. Whisk together oil, vinegar and garlic. Drizzle over vegetables; toss to coat. Sprinkle with remaining basil. Until next time, happy cooking. MARY LEACH ~ Associated Press
