Rush Limbaugh, Lee Greenwood, Hannity to accompany Trump at rally BY MARK BLISS AND BOB MILLER

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN President Donald Trump will rally supporters in Cape Girardeau on Monday with the help of a number of celebrities, including conservative commentators Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, and country music star Lee Greenwood. Greenwood, perhaps best known for his song “God Bless the USA” will perform at the rally at the Show Me Center. Limbaugh, a native of Cape Girardeau, has a na-

tional radio show. Hannity has both a radio show and a prime time television show. He is scheduled to host his radio show Monday afternoon from Cape Girardeau. The rally is scheduled to start at 9 p.m. Doors will open at 6 p.m. Monday’s rally, on the eve of Tuesday’s midterm elections for control of Congress, will culminate a six-day blitz of battleground states, involving 11 rallies. Trump will campaign here in support of Republican Josh Hawley who is seeking to unseat Dem-

ocratic U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill. According to the polls, the race is a toss up. Security officials continued to work out logistics through the weekend, with changes in plans transpiring into Sunday evening. On Saturday, the Cape Girardeau Police Department released information regarding parking and shuttle systems from six locations, but on Sunday emails that went out to ticket holders from Trump’s See Trump, Page 3A

Rally attendees to face ‘wind and wet’ weather BY KASSI JACKSON

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN Anticipated showers will make their way through Cape Girardeau late afternoon Monday but will clear before President Donald Trump’s arrival later in the evening. The weather will bring

rain with a chance of thunderstorms and high winds. With the doors to President Trump’s “Make America Great Again” rally scheduled to open at 6 p.m. at the Show Me Center, meteorologist Dan Spaeth of the National Weather Ser-

vice said to be prepared to deal with “wind and wet.” Spaeth said, “It’s most likely going to get wet leading up to the event, and it will be trying to get breezy, as well.” Showers are anticipated to arrive in Cape Girardeau between 3 p.m.

and 6 p.m., and move through quickly. Winds are expected to move south to southwest at approximately 10 miles per hour, but the risk of severe winds of 60 miles per hour cannot be ruled out completely, Spaeth added.

Here are some facts, notes and some speculation about President Trump’s visit to Cape Girardeau today. He is scheduled to speak at 9 p.m. at the Show Me Center, 1333 N. Sprigg St. The doors will open at 6 p.m.

Show Me Center The Show Me Center capacity is dependent on floor configuration, but can seat 7,600 and another 633 in the lobby, according to the Show Me Center’s website.

Tickets The Trump campaign issues more tickets than capacity, so the seating will be first come, first served. When President Trump was scheduled to visit in September, roughly 40,000 tickets were issued, according to U.S. Rep. Jason Smith. This means attendees will need to arrive very early to assure a seat at the rally. Attendees cannot save seats once they enter the venue. It’s been reported that at previous stops, some die-hards have waited some 12 hours and even 24 hours in line. Organizers estimated 10,000 people attended the campaign stop in Columbia, Missouri, according to local media reports. The crowd size at Springfield, Missouri, was disputed. Trump estimated 44,000, but some locals suggested that number was overstated. KFVS12 reported 4,000 people filled a hangar at the rally in Murphysboro, Illinois, on Oct. 21. Ten thousand were expected, and 8,500 people went through metal detectors, according to KFVS12.

Parking The Show Me Center parking lot can handle 1,500 cars, and however many spots that remain open by the Secret Service will be in high demand and won’t last long. Parking logistics changed several times since Friday. After officials told a reporter Friday that no parking spots would be available at the Show Me Center, the Cape Girardeau Police Department put out a statement Saturday saying Show Me Center parking would be available, as well as overflow See Know, Page 3A

FORT WORTH, Texas — A Goodwill worker collecting clothes and other items at a Texas sorting center was surprised to find an albino python clinging to the side of a bin. The python was huddled in a pile of clothes when the worker discovered it Thursday at the center in Fort Worth. Manager James Murphy said it’s not clear whether the snake slithered away from its owner and was accidentally dropped off or whether its donation was intentional. Goodwill staffers will care for the python until the owner claims it or a permanent home is found. — Associated Press

parking at six locations. On Sunday evening, an email sent by the Trump campaign contradicted the statement sent by police. According to the email sent to ticket holders, only the West Park Mall location will offer shuttle services. Originally, six locations had been identified. Additionally, the time window for the shuttles changed. Shuttles will leave the mall parking lot begining at 10 a.m. Disability parking will be available at the Show Me Center.

campaign said shuttles would not be running from any of the parking locations except West Park Mall. On Friday, officials had said that no parking would be allowed at the Show Me Center, but that changed on Saturday. Police said parking would be allowed at the Show Me Center, but they expected the lot to fill up quickly and offered the six locations for overflow and shuttles. The times of the shuttles also changed. Originally scheduled from 4 p.m. through midnight, emails that went out to ticket holders said shuttles would begin running from West Park mall beginning at 10 a.m. behind the building at 3049 William St. No coolers or chairs will be permitted on the shuttles — only small backpacks or purses, according to the email from the Trump campaign. More tickets are issued than seats are available, meaning thousands will not be able to see the president speak. The Show Me Center seats roughly 7,600 people. U.S. Rep. Jason Smith told the Southeast Missourian on Friday that 40,000 tickets were requested for the planned September visit that was canceled because of Hurricane Florence. Those wanting to see the president speak are advised to arrive early. On Sunday, Cape Girardeau County Democratic Central Committee chairman Jonathan Kessler said Trump’s scheduled rally in Cape Girardeau will turn off many voters. In an emailed, lengthy statement to the Southeast Missourian, Kessler wrote that Trump “is here to activate what he perceives as his base voters. The problem is that his message — rhetoric and tone, unbecoming of the office that he holds, is toxic to most voters.” Kessler added, “Obviously, some people seem to love it. The rest of us — fair-minded Republicans, independents and Democrats — are sick and tired of it.” Kessler said that Trump’s aborted visit in September “drew out supporters we did not know we had and that has been key to our late campaign efforts. His second visit could not come at a more opportune time for those who oppose his positions and we could not be happier about it.” Trump originally was scheduled to hold an evening rally Sept. 13 at the Show Me Center on behalf of Hawley, Missouri’s attorney general. But the president canceled the rally as emergency responders braced for Hurricane Florence, which was bearing down on the East Coast.

Items to leave at home No weapons or ammunition of any type will be allowed. Aerosols, animals (except service animals), balloons, bicycles, coolers, drones, glass, thermal containers, laser pointers, mace/ pepper spray, packages, selfie sticks, signs bigger than 20 feet by 3 feet, supports for signs/ placards and toy guns are all banned. Attendees also cannot bring tripods, monopods or GoPro cameras. Southeast Missouri State University’s list of items not allowed is slightly more expansive than the list the Cape Girardeau Police Department put out. The university’s list also includes iPads, hover boards, fireworks, crock pots, posters, signs and sticks. University officials have said the Secret Service prohibits umbrellas inside the Show Me Center. People may bring umbrellas with them while waiting outside, but they will have to give them up upon entering the Show Me Center. No chairs or coolers will be allowed on the shuttles — only small backpacks and purses.

Some concessions will be available for sale upon entering the Show Me Center.

The president’s plane will fly into the Cape Girardeau Regional Airport today. It is one of three airports in the 8th Congressional District that can handle the aircraft. Perryville and Waynesville are the others. Airport officials say the road to the airport will be barricaded off for visitors. He would not elaborate on any other plans at the airport.

Cape Girardeau police chief Wes Blair has said the police department will be “beyond stretched” for a presidential appearance. Officers will be involved in the motorcade security and security at the Show Me Center. Law enforcement officers will be called in from nearly a dozen other agencies to help with security. The Cape Girardeau Police Department has about 80 officers.

Street closures New Madrid Street, from Sprigg Street to Henderson Avenue, will be closed today, Cape Girardeau police said. No through traffic or parking will be allowed. The road to the airport will also be closed off from visitors at some point today, an airport official said.

As of Friday afternoon, all hotel rooms at the Drury Plaza had been booked for tonight. Brenda Newbern, director of the Cape Girardeau Convention and Visitors Bureau, said several other hotels still had rooms available.

President’s schedule Trump’s stop in Cape Girardeau will be his third today. He has a stop scheduled at 3 p.m. in Cleveland and another at 6:30 p.m. in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Cape Girardeau will be his final stop before Tuesday’s midterm election. He has made re-

cent Missouri stops in Columbia and Springfield, to promote Josh Hawley in his Senate bid against Claire McCaskill. Missouri’s Senate race is one of the hottest races in the country. McCaskill, the incumbent, is said to be vulnerable in Missouri, which has turned more red since her last election six years ago. The president will have made seven stops Saturday and Sunday.

Pence on the trail Vice President Mike Pence is officially scheduled for a campaign stop today in Rapid City, South Dakota, which would end around 3:30 p.m. Central time. No other plans or stops for Pence after the South Dakota stop have been made public.

Canceled classes Southeast Missouri State University is canceling afternoon classes to accommodate the president’s visit, except classes at the Cape College Center. The university’s offices will remain open.

Scheduling conflicts After the September campaign stop in Cape Girardeau was canceled because of a major hurricane, Cape Girardeau was in line for other visits, but the Show Me Center was booked. A gun show prevented Trump’s stop on the date Springfield ultimately hosted the president. The Missouri high school state volleyball tournament this past weekend also caused scheduling problems. Eighth District Rep. Smith has lobbied for a visit since the president took office.

Conservative media epicenter Trump’s campaign announced Sunday that Conservative Talk Show titans Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh, who is from Cape Girardeau will attend the event, which drew some national media attention on Sunday. Lee Greenwood, a country music singer who wrote the song “God Bless the USA” will also perform at the event. — Compiled by Bob Miller

Interview: Jason Smith and his views of the president By Jon K. Rust Southeast Missourian If you’ve ever heard 8th District Congressman Jason Smith talk about President Donald Trump, you know there’s much affection and admiration there. Smith stopped by the Southeast Missourian’s offices to talk to the editorial board Friday after the Cape ChamON K ber’s First UST Friday Coffee. He was excited about the president coming to Cape Girardeau on Monday evening for a rally: the last campaign event before the midterm elections. No matter what side of the political aisle you lean, to have a sitting president visit is historically large, especially in a city of fewer than 40,000 people. It’s only happened three other times in Cape Girardeau’s history with visits by presidents Taft, Reagan and Clinton. When Trump was first scheduled to appear in Cape Girardeau in September — before the visit was derailed by Hurricane Florence — more than 40,000 tickets were requested. The Show Me Center can hold barely a fifth of that, so if you’re planning to see the president tonight, the recommendation is to arrive early. To Smith, having the president visit has been a goal of his since first meeting Donald J. Trump. And over the past two years, Smith has had the opportunity to meet privately, even one-on-one, with the president several times,

with the initial meeting focusing on the importance of eliminating “burdensome” regulations. Smith points to dozens of “major achievements” by Trump, but eliminating regulations is clearly one of his favorites. We covered a lot of ground in the interview and quite a bit in policy detail, of which Rep. Smith has a keen grasp. For this column, though, with the president approaching Cape Girardeau, let me share some of the more “behind-the-scenes” tidbits. I’ve put Smith’s quotes in quotation marks, but should point out that each paragraph did not necessarily follow directly from the one before it. Oftentimes, we went into more detail. The quotes are highlights from the conversation. When the president canceled the previous visit, Smith was concerned another one wouldn’t be scheduled. But Trump’s staff kept saying the president wanted to visit, not to worry. They originally planned to return the next week, but the Show Me Center wasn’t available due to a gun-and-knife show. Smith’s attempts to schedule the event at the airport were rejected. Instead, to Smith’s chagrin, Trump went to Springfield. “Just to have a sitting president come to a community of 38,000 is pretty special,” Smith said. “A lot of people in Missouri will never see a presidential motorcade, and Trump loves looking out and waving at those along the way,” Smith said. Smith told about the time when he was in the car with the president, “just

the two of us in back,” on a 20-minute drive from downtown Kansas City north to the airport. “The president, he’s engaged, and he’s funny,” Smith said. “A group of people along the road gave the car their middle finger. The president quickly told me, ‘Jason, that’s for you.’” “You never know what he’s going to say.” “In meetings, he’s pretty incredible to see in action. He’s highly engaged, always asking questions. Whether that’s his background as a businessman, he wants to get your thoughts. He listens intently, and it’s like he has a photographic memory. He remembers what he likes.” “A lot of presidents are shielded from the outside news. He’s constantly watching the news, reading the headlines. He’s not held back from it.” “He’s taken on big issues: the largest tax cut in the history of the nation. The president was engaged with that. I’ve never worked with an executive so engaged, whether at the state level or in the White House. (President Barack) Obama came to Capitol Hill once to meet with Democrats while I’ve been in Congress, and he never met with Republicans. Trump is constantly calling and meeting.” “With the tax cut, Trump was articulating questions in detail.” “People who are on TV saying the president doesn’t know what’s going on, they haven’t talked with him. They don’t know him. He’s incredibly

knowledgeable.” Smith ticked off some of the president’s accomplishments, starting with Trump simply “disrupting Washington like it’s never been,” addressing controversial issues, including regulation and tax reform. As a result, Smith said, the economy is booming and unemployment is at a historic low. “It’s only been below 4 percent nine months, and four of those months are under Trump. We have more people working now than in the history of our country.” Smith identified that Trump doesn’t hold back. “When he sees something, he calls them on it.” “There are a lot of presidents who would have walked away from [Judge] Kavanaugh [because of the political heat], but he stood with him. He’s appointed two Supreme Court justices now and more judges in his first two years than any other president. His legacy with judges is big stuff.” “ISIS was 35,000 fighters when he came into office. It’s less than 1,000 now.” “At the beginning of the year, I thought we were heading to war with North Korea. Not now, thanks to the president. I don’t trust North Korea, but at least there is some kind of progress.” “Other presidents made promises about moving the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, he followed through.” “He keeps pushing on immigration reform. I do believe something will come. Same with his infra-

Sgt. Rick Schmidt of the Cape Girardeau Police Department said the department has been watching the weather since Thursday, re-

structure plan, the president keeps pushing.” “Deficit spending is a problem. More than half of that is interest on our debt, which doesn’t do us any good, there’s nothing productive there. However, our revenues have increased. We have more revenue now than before the tax cuts. That’s not the cause of the deficits.” “I don’t always support the president, and I was the only member of leadership to vote against the spending bill. But he’s got a lot of big things done.” The tariff war, Smith said, has been tough on farmers. But he said, Trump is committed to them, trying to “make the best agreements possible.” But it takes time, and Trump told Smith, “The last thing I need is to have politicians nipping my heels.” Smith told the story of being at a meeting where the only media in the room were C-SPAN and China TV. “China watches everything,” Smith said. “When a senator said that his biggest fear was a potential tariff on soybeans, the next day China announced a tariff on soybeans.” “The president wants to get where there are no tariffs at all. But it’s a complicated process.” “Our farmers are supporting Trump through this turbulent time because they understand the gain that can come in the future. India is subsidizing their rice and flooding the market, for example, which impacts our pricing. American farmers will win every time if its free trade. So they trust that it will be

a better day in the future with good deals, but everyone, and every politician, wants the good to come sooner rather than later.” “I think we’ll see more and more bilateral deals. NAFTA 2.0 will be filed the last day of the current Mexico president’s term, per agreement. It is already having a real effect, for example, Missouri is a major producer of milk, which is addressed.” “This will also help Mid Continent Nail [because of how product can flow between Mexico and the United States]. But we shouldn’t forget Magnitude 7 [Metals] is back in business because of Trump’s policies. That’s more than 500 jobs in Southeast Missouri, and it’s expected to grow to 900.” The Trump rally is scheduled to start at 9 p.m. Whether that’s when the speakers before Trump begin or it’s when the president starts, Smith wasn’t sure. “The president is usually punctual,” Smith said. The only time Smith said he’s been at a presidential event that started late was Thursday night, in Columbia, Missouri. “He started 40 minutes behind schedule.” After the speech, Smith drove the two hours from Columbia to his home in Salem, Missouri, then rose early to make the chamber event in Cape. Tonight, President Donald Trump will be coming from speeches in Indiana and Ohio earlier in the day. “I just hope he doesn’t lose his voice,” Smith said. Jon K.

Schmidt said the weather will not change or affect any security efforts. “We’ll do it rain or shine,” he said. Southeast Missouri State University officials have stated umbrellas are prohibited by the Secret Service in the Show Me Center and they will be confiscated at the entrance of the building. Schmidt advises attendees to plan ahead. If attendees plan to bring umbrellas, they should bring ones they can dispose of when entering the center. Schmidt said everyone should be patient with the weather, be patient on the road and with out-of-towners and be patient with law enforcement. NWS meteorologist Spaeth said to dress appropriately. Temperatures are expected to be in the 50s and “with the breeze and the wet, it’s not going to be very comfortable,” he said. kjackson@semissourian.com (573) 388-3636

TODAY’S PRAYER

Lord Jesus, may our country turn to you and seek your will. Amen.

OUR OPINION

Welcome to Southeast Missouri, Mr. President Dear Mr. President Trump, Welcome to Cape Girardeau. Thousands of supporters from our city and miles beyond will flood the Show Me Center tonight. Most of them are your supporters. Some 70 percent of this part of the state supported your presidency and most still support your ideals. Some will also come today to protest your work and your words. This will be no surprise to you, as you see that at all your public events. But most will arrive to support you, which we expect is a major reason you chose to end your midterm campaign tour in our city. In fact, the 8th Congressional District ranked seventh among the 435 districts in the country in terms of your support. We expect your fans and voters will show up early and wait hours to see you, possibly in the rain to get a glimpse of the world leader. It’s a big deal for the president of the United States to visit our small-butgrowing city. You’ll be just the fourth active president to stop here, and the first in 22 years. Cape Girardeau is an interesting mix of people, and so is the surrounding area. You’ll be addressing businessmen, small-business owners, union workers, farmers, ranchers, doctors, officers, professors, retirees, rich people, poor people, conservatives and liberals and folks in between. Even journalists. We have more than 50 places of worship in a 20-mile radius, from a wide range of denominations. Our city’s most famous native, national radio host Rush Limbaugh, helped get you elected, promoting conservatism for decades to his millions of listeners. But we have other high-profile folks, too: Our fine public university has also produced a female astronaut and a famous African-American comedian and actor. Our university hosts many international students of many backgrounds, all of whom chose America for their education, and some of whom may want to join our nation as citizens some day. We have people dealing with health issues and a small army of those who treat our health. Our university president is a new citizen of the United States, originally from Mexico, after having attained a Ph.D. in physics and aerospace science and holding down several university jobs across the United States over a couple of decades. We have doctors employed at our hospitals from across the world. One of the reasons our population overwhelmingly supported you last election is because you were different. You were not scared to shake things up, to buck the status quo. Your maverick persona appealed, and you have carried that throughout your presidency so far. We have seen your fight lead to economic benefits and lower taxes. We continue to observe and hope your tough rhetoric and deal-making will bring benefits and prosperity to our workers and farmers. We hope your message will inspire those in our city and the country. We hope you will leave inspired by the people you meet here. Thank you, Mr. President, for stopping in Cape Girardeau. It will be a day we will not forget any time soon.

POLL QUESTIONS Will you or did you attend the rally with President Donald Trump in Cape Girardeau? Do you agree with President Trump’s position that the United States should end the right to citizenship for babies who are born to non-U.S. citizens on American soil?

I am proud of President Trump’s first two years BY DOUG AUSTIN

am so proud of President Donald Trump and his visible and measurable love for America! He’s not ashamed of it! He’s not apologetic for it! Totally dedicated to our American way of life. President Trump says things that desperately need to be said, things that no other leader has shown the fortitude to stand up and say. He brings candor to the political table that has not been seen for years. Though he had been criticized for his remarks and personality, his victory in spite of turbulence is an inspiration to millions. President Trump has done more to stop the government from interfering in the lives of Americans in his first two years in office than any other President in history. Despite historic Democratic obstructionism, the President has

worked with Congress to pass more legislation in his first two years than any President since Truman. The stock market has boomed and unemployment is at a 17-year low of 3.7 percent. President Trump fulfilled his promise by nominating and, after Senate confirmation, appointed Neil Gorsuch as an associate justice of the United States Supreme Court. And then followed that up with the nomination and appointment of Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Trump is crystal clear in his belief our Constitution should be honored, valued and upheld. He continues to publicly state his views of: Faith and religious liberty Sanctity of human life Marriage as the union of one man and one woman The right of those law-abiding individuals to keep and bear arms Our military must be the stron-

gest on earth Health care decisions should be made by us and our doctors Opposing “illegal immigration” and supporting “legal immigration” Our President stands against the attitudes now rampant in government: the inability of politicians to give a straight answer to an honest question and tax dollars given to people who simply don’t want to do anything for themselves. Our working class must stay within a budget but the federal government is not required to do the same? Trump can’t accept the arrogant attitude displayed by politicians implying that we are too stupid to run our own lives and only people in government are smart enough to do that. Mr. President: Welcome to Cape Girardeau! Doug Austin is a resident of Cape Girardeau.

President’s Cape visit will only polarize BY LIZ LOCKHART

fter the 2016 election, I hoped that Trump would grow into the presidency. I was wrong. He has only become dishonorable on the world stage. He is polarizing, proudly so, and embarrassing. I cringe at the thought that he will use Cape as his stage. I cringe at what he might say or do to make his pit-stop here memorable. I cringe at the thought of multiple lies, old ones long disproved and

new ones yet to be easily disproved, he will spew forth here. Sadly, he will be cheered by friends and neighbors, no matter how ludicrous or how harmful his words. I don’t want to witness poison and hatred coming from neighbors, glee at his crass behavior, or that polarization to be affirmed by a POTUS, of all people! He foments hate and fear to bolster his agenda. That’s what he does. He tells lies his “base” either believes or, worse, doesn’t care are lies. That’s what he does. I plan to be present when 45 visits,

and I will bear witness. That’s what I do. I will vote. That’s also what I do. I cling to one of my 2016 beliefs, however. We will survive as a union. We will emerge from this darkness of hate and fear mongering, though every passing day brings another outrageous plan or tweet that pushes us farther apart. I pray for the sanctity of the ballot box and that the end of election season will give both sides a breather. Liz Lockhart is a resident of Cape Girardeau.

Hosting a president is a privilege BY JAY B. KNUDTSON

rominently displayed on my office wall is a picture of me with former President Barack Obama on a campaign stop in Cape Girardeau. While I may have had policy and leadership differences with the 44th President of the United States, this picture remains on my wall because, well, he went on to become the President of the United States of America. As Cape Girardeau prepares to host the 45th President, the same sense of community, country and patriotism fills my soul. Again, even though I don’t always

agree with the demeanor of the current President, the fact of the matter is that no matter what your political allegiance is or where your loyalty lies, Donald J. Trump is the President of the United States and his appearance in the City of Cape Girardeau makes for historic times! Hosting a sitting President of the United States could represent one of the greatest logistical challenges that any community could undertake, but isn’t it great to live in a community that is capable of rising to the occasion. Our city, university and community have all strategically collaborated to set the stage for the

individual who holds the highest office in the land, which makes for a proud and historic moment! Yes, hosting a President is a privilege and the national spotlight will shine brightly on our great city. A friend said it best when commenting on the President’s visit when he wrote, “Let’s show everyone visiting kindness and hospitality, especially those we disagree with. Remember, we’re all in this together, and long after the visitors are gone, we’ll still be here.” Jay B. Knudtson was mayor of the City of Cape Girardeau from 2002-2010.

President’s visit is significant for Senate, Trump’s re-election

SPEAK OUT Honesty

I want to say “thank you” to the person who turned in my diabetic monitor at the Lowe’s store. I cannot regulate my insulin pump without the monitor. There was also a sizable amount of money in the bag, which was also all intact. So grateful to know there are still honest people in this old troubled world. Thank you, and may God bless you richly.

Public works The sewer backed up in my basement and rotor-rooter examined the system and advised me that the city workers needed to come to our location and clean out the main sewer line. I was so surprised, and pleased, that the city public works department sent a crew out within an hour or so to take care of our problem. The workers were very professional and happy to explain what they were doing and did not waste any time doing their job.

My wife and I really appreciate it and wanted to express our appreciation to the department and the City of Cape. Thank You!

Kmart and Sears With Kmart closing in Cape, and the Sears store has a huge building big enough to share the building with Kmart, why not have Kmart move into half of the Sears building? This could be a win-win deal for everyone.

Fraudulent call My husband is 78 and I am 73. Recently we have been receiving phone calls regarding Social Security. The woman gives her name and proceeds to tell us that our Social Security number or benefits have been suspended. We know at that point to hang up. Our concern is that some elderly citizens like my 96-yearold mother may stay on the line and give the caller the info they are needing. Please alert the public of this horrible fraud.

BY JEREMY WALLING

ince FDR took office, the President’s party has gained seats in both houses of Congress in a midterm election only twice. Typically, the president’s party loses seats, an average loss of about 30 House seats and four Senate seats. Democrats hope this trend continues Tuesday, but Missouri’s Senate race is a potential wrinkle to their plans. Textbooks would suggest that the race, featuring a well-funded, scandal-free incumbent and a relatively inexperienced challenger, should be a Democrat hold. So why are analysts calling the seat a toss-up? Partisanship in Missouri has changed since Claire McCaskill was first elected

to statewide office in 1998. In the past three presidential elections, the Republican defeated the Democrat by one-tenth of a point, nearly 10 points, and 18 points. Republicans control both houses of the state legislature and all six elected executive offices. This context will greet President Trump when he visits the Show Me Center today, the last of 11 rallies in states with two things in common: a tight U.S. Senate race and higher than average Trump approval. Thus, the appearance has a two-fold purpose. To be sure, Trump is coming to stump for Josh Hawley. Analysts expect Republicans to lose seats Tuesday, but a Hawley victory would limit the damage to Republicans in a closely divided Senate. The second,

and perhaps more critical, purpose is to advocate for Trump himself. All midterm elections are a referendum on the sitting president, but the context of the 2018 midterms is particularly divisive. Democrats point to Justice Kavanaugh and Trump’s immigration positions as the most recent of myriad examples of what is wrong with his presidency. Expect President Trump to champion these same issues to a supportive crowd Monday, both in the Show Me Center and nationally through the media, as the last word on promises kept. Dr. Jeremy Walling is a political-science professor at Southeast Missouri State University.

The historical component to President Trump’s visit BY PETER KINDER Plenty of excitement vibrates through town as Cape Girardeau welcomes our first presidential visit since President Bill Clinton in August 1996, which followed eight years after President Ronald Reagan arrived in September 1988. Mr. Clinton chose an outdoor rally in Capaha Park, while President Donald J. Trump will fill the Show Me Center, the packed-to-therafters scene of the Reagan visit 31 years ago. Interestingly, the ’96 Clinton victory is the last time a Democratic national ticket has carried this state. Mr. Trump arrives in a state (19-point Missouri win margin) and 8th Congressional District (Grand Canyon-wide, 54-point margin) that gave him overwhelming mandates in 2016. These are chasms that

dwarf those of previous landslide winners FDR and Reagan. We have come a long, long way from the days when a solidly Democratic Southeast Missouri was the graveyard of Republican electoral hopes, and the only election that mattered was the August Democratic primary. Agree or disagree, love him or hate him, something in President Trump’s pitch to Americans has struck home with Missourians and, especially, those residing in these parts. The President’s appeal will be underscored by last Friday’s stunningly good economic news. Two hundred and fifty-thousand new jobs created last quarter, despite the two large hurricanes. Unemployment at a 50-year low of 3.7 percent. Wages and compensation rising at a brisk 3.1 percent, highest since Bob Miller, Editor

Rex Rust, Co-president

2009, as a hot job market bids them up. Hispanic unemployment at an all-time low. Several million more available jobs today than folks in the work force to fill them. Help-wanted signs abounding here, and nearly everywhere. The President’s choice of Cape to end a nationwide campaign of dozens of rallies across America speaks to the importance he and national Republicans attach to Missouri’s Senate race. Without question, his visit will give a significant boost to Attorney General Josh Hawley’s campaign against Sen. Claire McCaskill. Welcome to Cape Girardeau, Mr. President! Peter Kinder, of Cape Girardeau, is the former lieutenant governor of the state of Missouri. Gary Rust, Chairman

Salvation Army reports need before Thanksgiving BY JOSHUA HARTWIG

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN In the wake of Tuesday’s rejection of gambling by Scott County voters, the Southeast Missouri Regional Port Authority says it is willing to ask the Scott County Commission for a second vote on riverboat gambling, if Casino Magic requests it. The number of cases of flu-like illnesses last week in Southeast Missouri increased dramatically over the previous week, but health officials say the figures are still not unusual for the first week of November; no confirmed cases of influenza have been reported in the area.

and Mrs. Lyman A. Matthews of Cape Girardeau, was killed in an Army airplane crash yesterday in Oklahoma; he was the second son of Mr. and Mrs. Matthews to lose his life in two months; the other, Ensign Lyman A. Matthews Jr., 27, a naval plane pilot, was reported missing on a routine flight over the Pacific on Sept. 5, off Oakland, California. A report furnished to City Commissioner Phil Steck through the State Health Department, shows the rating of Cape Girardeau’s milk supply remains virtually unchanged compared with a year ago.

Unpredictable Cape Girardeau County voters put their support behind the Republican Party on the national level, helping to elect Richard M. Nixon president, but split their approval of parties on the state level; that support swings back to the GOP side to hand most of the county offices to Republican candidates. In one of the most-watched races, heavy Bootheel majorities help Bill D. Burlison, Democratic prosecuting attorney of Cape Girardeau County, to overcome a sharp Cape County deficit; Burlison rolls to victory in Southeast Missouri’s 10th Congressional District, out-balloting Republican Vernon L. Landgraf, a Cape Girardeau businessman.

Only one Democrat is elected in Cape Girardeau and not a single Republican is elected in Scott County, according to unofficial returns; Giboney Houck is the lone Democrat elected here, being named to the legislature over Fritz Siemers by 16 votes; in the wet-and-dry contest, Cape Girardeau wets win again, but by a greatly-reduced majority.

The Salvation Army of Cape Girardeau will offer coats and a free Thanksgiving meal for those in need Nov. 22, but according to Lt. Matthew DeGonia, donations are in short supply. Degonia helped at Health Point Fitness in Cape Girardeau with Coats for Kids, an annual Salvation Army fundraiser that last year helped gather more than 400 coats. “Southeast has had boxes for a month or so, but most of our donations are coming in today,” he said Friday. Both events flow together, DeGonia explained. The free Thanksgiving Day meal will be served from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 22, along with the distribution of coats. “It’s definitely become a community staple,” he said. Food donations are down from last year, he said. Thanksgiving Day foods, including turkey, cranberry sauce and rolls, are needed. “We make 20 to 30 pans of each side, so that’s just tons

To feed 600 people, it needs to go a long way,” he said. “We’re probably going to serve close to that again this year.” Last year, the organization received 45 turkeys, slightly surpassing its needed goal in order to provide full meals. Turkeys cost the most, he said. DeGonia is hoping 45 turkeys will be donated by Nov. 22. More than 125 volunteers were part of last year’s

Thanksgiving Day efforts, DeGonia said, helping with passing out coats, preparing and delivering to-go meals for those who are homebound. Drop-off times for contributions are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Fridays at the Salvation Army at 701 Good Hope St. in Cape Girardeau. jhartwig@semissourian.com (573) 388-3632

River Campus hosts ‘small version’ of Cape Comic Con BY JOSHUA HARTWIG

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN Visitors to Cape Mini Comic Con on Saturday at the River Campus were greeted by vendors, displays and a free issue of an “exclusive to Cape Girardeau” “The Avengers” comic book, depicting the Bill Emerson Memorial Bridge. Cape Comic Con organizer Ken Murphy said Saturday’s event was a small version of the Cape Comic Con in April, describing it as “relaxing.” And he said Marvel Comics and Cape Girardeau coming together made the Cape Comic Con special edition comic book a reality. Four years ago, Cape Comic Con celebrated its 10th anniversary. Murphy said he made a call to a source in New York City asking for something to commemorate the event in Cape Girardeau. Murphy said he then chose artist Greg Land of Florida for the project.

“I’ve been of fan of his for 20 years,” Murphy said. “Greg produced this cover, for this comic book that was on the newsstands and in the comic book stores, but this one was exclusive to our show.” Murphy said he’s not immersed in the art world, but he believes originally-created art to be something people can appreciate. “Anytime [Southeast Missouri State University] does something here at the River Campus, especially in the area of pop culture or comic book art, we come down and support the event.” Also on display Saturday was Terry Godwin’s collection of 47 comic-book proofs and originals from nearly 40 artists, spanning from 1953 to 2018. Godwin of Jackson said he has collected comic books since he was 5 years old. Godwin said we was at a similar convention roughly 30 years ago, and first

became interested in comic books after picking up a piece of original artwork. The process by which comic-book pages are made requires a three-part process, Godwin explained. The pages are penciled, inked and then it ends up being lettered or not lettered, Godwin said. From there, he said the pages are scanned, colored and shrunk down to size for printing. “It’s a multilevel process with several hands involved,” Godwin said. Godwin said he has made a habit of traveling around the country finding people who have comic-book artwork for sale, while developing relationships with collectors and sellers along the way. “I’m pretty picky about what I do get,” Godwin said. “I don’t just buy anything.” Representing Jackson-based Kapow Arcade & Gaming were Gary and Marie Newman, with their various displays of figures and

Marie Newman said their business was once focused on comic books, but has now begun to pursue more of the “gaming and arcade” route. Also in attendance were Southeast Missouri natives Jakob Powles, Chris Powles and Matt Shepard, who were dressed in costumes. Chris Powles was portraying a dwarf fighter; Jakob Powles, 7, was dressed as Star-Lord; and Chris Powles was masquerading as an Elvin necromancer. Jakon Powles said they attended the event in support of the artists who want to show off their work between now and the next Comic Con event in April. “Cape definitely needs more stuff like this,” he said.

Dear President Trump, Please Save Our Jobs. People Will Cheer All Over SE Missouri. Dear Mr. President: Welcome to Southeast Missouri. Just down the road in Poplar Bluff, hundreds of manufacturing workers need you to save our jobs. We are the largest nail manufacturer in America, but the Section 232 tariffs on steel have battered us. We have lost more than 70% of our orders, and our workforce is down from 500 to 300. You made restoring U.S. manufacturing jobs a goal of your presidency. But here in Southeast Missouri it’s been the opposite. Foreign nail producers, from countries like China and Turkey, are the big winners. But you can fix the situation tonight. *** Josh Hawley, in a close race for Senate, will be with you at the Show Me Center. Talk to him. He has toured our plant, seen the faces of our workers, seen the idle machines. When you put the tariffs into effect, you allowed for exemptions. We applied June 18. Everything was done right, and we clearly qualify. Mr. Hawley urged the Commerce Department to “grant it quickly.” Our plant leaders went to Washington and talked to Wilbur Ross. He was sympathetic. We have heard indications that a positive decision is coming. But it is now 141 days and still no word. *** Poplar Bluff has the second-highest unemployment rate among the state’s 70 metropolitan areas. Before the Section 232 tariffs in June, Mid Continent was the second-largest employer in our town. Now, the number-one employer has announced its own layoffs. *** We don’t have to tell you that Southeast Missouri is Trump Country. But no one can take votes here for granted, especially as families and friends suffer from job losses caused by tariffs. Please take Mr. Hawley’s advice and save our jobs! Make the announcement tonight at the Show Me Center. The cheers of the audience will reach Poplar Bluff, 70 miles away. With sincere respect and hopefulness, The Hard-Working People of Mid Continent Nail Corp. 2700 Central St., Poplar Bluff, Mo.

Advance’s Nyah Wilson digs the ball during the Class 1 state championship game Saturday at the Show Me Center in Cape Girardeau.

It was a combination that had worked all season, and with a state championship on the line, Advance volleyball turned to it once more. Senior Addie Curtis set the ball, Roz Schrader jumped above the net and the Hornets bench players rose to their feet in anticipation. Schrader smacked the ball off the outstretched fingers of the Calvary Lutheran block and onto the other side of the court. When ball touched the hardwood, clinching a title, the celebration was on. The players rushed onto the court, and the Hornets formed a dog pile years in the making. For the first time in school history, Advance is state

champions in volleyball, capping off a 37-2-1 season with a 25-12, 25-23 win over Calvary Lutheran in the Class 1 state final Saturday morning at the Show Me Center. “They deserve it — I don’t want to say more than any other team because all teams deserve it — but these girls have been through so much,” Advance coach Erin Hoffman said. “They’re so close. They’re just a special group.” The Hornets ended the year on a 13-match winning streak and didn’t drop a set during that run. That included a 4-0 record in the final four, with two wins over Calvary Lutheran (27-11-2) in as many days. In the process, Curtis and libero Katlyn Cook capped See Advance, Page 2B

SOUTHEAST FOOTBALL

Southeast pulls away from Tennessee state for fifth straight win BY PHILLIP SUITTS

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN Justin Swift reached out and snagged the interception, changing the complexion of the game in an instant. Less than a minute into the second half, the Southeast Missouri State linebacker hauled in an under thrown pass near the goal line, and the offense did the rest, driving down the field for a touchdown and a 17-point lead. Before Swift’s pick, Tennessee State had a chance to the cut the lead to single digits after a long run set them up

inside the SEMO 10-yard line. Instead, the Tigers never got closer than 17 points the rest of the way as No. 24 SEMO cruised to a 38-21 win over the Tigers in front of 3,481 fans at Houck Field on Saturday. “That was the sequence that turned the game,” Southeast coach Tom Matukewicz said. “That’s basically a 14-point swing.” SEMO (7-2, 5-1 Ohio Valley Conference) extended its winning streak to five as TSU (3-4, 2-3) suffered its fourth loss in the last five games. Marquis Terry rushed for 107 yards and a touchdown,

eclipsing 1,000 yards on the year with two regular-season games left. The senior now has over 2,000 yards in his Division I career after spending his first two years at a junior college. Kristian Wilkerson had three touchdowns and 129 yards on eight receptions, his second straight multi-touchdown and 100-yard plus game, and Daniel Santacaterina threw for 306 yards and four scores. It was the Wilkerson-Santacaterina connection that SEMO turned to after the Swift interception.

Santacaterina found Wilkerson for a short gain, and the junior did the rest, breaking a couple tackles for a 16yard score and a 31-14 lead. Later in the quarter, those two connected again for a 9-yard TD pass. It wasn’t always so comfortable with SEMO holding a 10-point edge at halftime. At the start of the third quarter, Tennessee State’s Te’kendrick Roberson broke off a 69yard run to put the ball at the SEMO 6. “A lot of times you give See Southeast, Page 2B

Advance From Page 1B off their high school careers with a title. They, along with the rest of the team, will now be immortalized on the Advance gym wall, in the form of a team picture and championship banner. “It’s just unbelievable to me,” Curtis said. “It’s still hasn’t [sunk] in. Maybe when we get home and see our picture on the wall and the banner, maybe it will hit me then. But it still hasn’t yet.” Curtis finished her senior campaign with more than 700 assists, including 26 in the championship, plus 16 digs. Schrader led the way with 23 kills on a .524 hitting percentage plus eight digs. Despite a mid-season injury, the junior ended the season with more than 300 kills. Nyah Wilson added five kills, eight digs and two blocks, and Alyssa Miles had three kills and 10 digs, including two crucial ones late in the second set. Meadow Morse chipped in three kills and five digs, and Alandry Below had seven digs.

Southeast From Page 1B up and let the score go in,” Matukewicz said. “That’s why we talk about, ‘Hey, you’ve got to fight for every point.’ You end up getting him down and turned over.” The turnover came on third-and-goal with pressure forcing TSU quarterback Micheal Hughes to his left, and his off-balance throw went right to Swift. “That was a really big play,” SEMO linebacker Zach Hall said. “Swift made a play, and I think he flipped the field.” With two of the top three scoring offenses in the OVC squaring off, there were plenty of fireworks. The two teams combined for 992 yards and 59 points, with 56 coming in the second and third quarters. A 40-yard Kendrick Tiller field goal were the only points of the opening period as SEMO led 3-0 after 15 minutes. SEMO’s offense was the first to come alive. It started less than a minute into the second quarter with a 37-yard pass from Santacaterina to Kristian Wilkerson, who broke a couple tackles en route to the end zone. The defense followed with a three-and-out, and it took the offense just one play to

Friday afternoon, Advance swept Calvary Lutheran 2517, 25-20. With both teams’ spot in the championship secured, it served as a championship preview, though not one Advance studied thoroughly. “We actually didn’t even watch video or anything because I knew with these girls I could scout all day and tell them we need to do this and we need to do this, and they just go out and they just play the game,” Hoffman said. The Hornets carried the momentum from that sweep into Saturday’s championship, jumping out to a 13-3 lead in the first set behind five kills from Schrader. The Lions didn’t get closer than nine the rest of the way. It was a much tighter affair in the second set with 10 lead changes. The biggest lead was three, with Calvary Lutheran up 21-18. That’s when Hoffman called a timeout, and out of that stoppage Advance went on a 3-0 run to the game at 21-all. “She just said that we could do it, and we weren’t being us because we stomped them the first set,” Schrader said. “Why are we playing like this? So we really stepped it up and started playing like

we usually do.” The two teams traded points before Advance took the lead for good on an Schrader kill. That was all possible thanks to a Miles dig. It was the same formula on the next point with another Miles dig leading to an Schrader kill and a 24-22 Advance lead. Calvary Lutheran saved the first match point, but at 24-23, Curtis set up Schrader for the championship-clinching kill, setting off the celebration. “Oh my gosh, my mind just went blank,” Schrader said. “I didn’t know what to say. It’s just so crazy, just being here and winning it is just wonderful.” Coming into this season, Advance’s last final four appearance had been 35 years ago. Its last two campaigns had ended with losses at the state sectional round. These Hornets changed all that. Their reward: a state championship. “Like I said before, these girls they continue to amaze,” Hoffman said. “I’m truly just their guide, and they take what I say and they run with it. They’re just an amazing group of girls, a very special group of girls.”

Southeast box score

tacaterina said. “Good starts usually equate to victories.” TSU responded, sandwiching two touchdowns around an 8-yard Terry touchdown catch to cut SEMO’s lead to 2414 at halftime. Swift’s interception and Wilkerson’s two touchdown catches, the second coming after a Hall pick, gave SEMO a 38-14 lead. TSU cut that lead to 17 on a 3-yard touchdown pass from Hughes to Steven Newbold late in the third, but that was as close as the Tigers got. TSU came in averaging 33 points a game, third in the conference, and moved the ball with 508 yards of offense, but SEMO held them to 21 points on five red-zone trips. “We had a rough start to the season,” Hall said of the defense. “But we’re starting to come along as far as takeaways and getting off the field.” Now, SEMO turns its attention to next weekend’s trip to Murray State. The Racers suffered their second conference loss of the season Saturday, falling to previously winless Tennessee Tech 27-24. The Redhawks haven’t lost since opening the conference slate with a defeat at Eastern Kentucky. They’ll look to continue that run next week, knowing that two more victories secure the program’s first OVC title since 2010.

HIGH SCHOOL SOCCER

John Burroughs boys soccer survives N.D. pressure to win Class 2 quarterfinal BY CHARLES FRANCIS

SPECIAL TO THE SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN Saturday afternoon’s Class 2 boys soccer state quarterfinal game at Notre Dame Regional High School got started about 30 minutes late because of a breakdown of the visiting John Burroughs team bus en route to Cape Girardeau. Once the Bombers got on the field, there were no breakdowns, despite serious second-half pressure from the Bulldogs as Burroughs held off the hosts 2-1 to advance to the final four. After Burroughs (16-6-1) dominated first half play and held a 1-0 lead at the intermission, the Bulldogs tied the game midway through the second half on junior Griffin Stewart’s goal. But it was a drive off the right foot of the Bombers’ Chase Warner that found the top right corner of the goal with about seven minutes left that provided the winning margin and spoiled Notre Dame’s hopes of advancing to state for the first time since 2009. “At halftime we talked basically about upping the tempo of the pace of the game,” Bulldogs coach Matt Vollink said. “We wanted to move the ball a little bit quicker, find the forwards’ feet a little bit faster and try and get in behind them. It started to open the game in

the second half a lot more for us and allowed us to create more opportunities because they had to get back and defend a little bit more.” Notre Dame (14-9-3) held the edge in possession time, keeping Burroughs on their heels and the ball in the offensive end of the field. Notre Dame also held an unofficial edge in shots on goal at 9-5. “Certainly, (Notre Dame) had the better of the play in the second half,” Burroughs coach Alan Trzecki said. “They seemed to be winning all the first and second balls in the middle third of the field and being able to keep themselves on the attack. ... Their size and physicality put us under a lot of pressure.” The Bombers got on the scoreboard first with about 19 minutes left in the first half, as junior Jackson Miller scored off a nifty giveand-go play that left Bulldog goalkeeper Isaac Hopkins with no chance to make a save. Notre Dame had its own chances in the first half, the best coming when freshman Colton Neumeyer just missed an attempt to boot a rebound off a corner kick past goalkeeper John Nash. After the halftime adjustments, Notre Dame took the play to the visitors in the second half. Junior Andrew Mueller missed just

wide of the left post in the second minute of the half, and Stewart sent a drive just over the crossbar later. After those narrow misses, Stewart’s game-tying goal midway through the half was, by his admission, not a thing of beauty. After a throw-in, Stewart had the ball at the right of the Burroughs goal. When Stewart made a move to get open, Nash slid to interrupt the play. Stewart then decide to pass. “I was going for a cross to Brent (Vandeven), but on his slide it hit off (Nash’s) sock and curved over. ... When it went in, I thought, we’ll take it.” For Nash, the goal was especially frustrating, since it snapped a streak of seven consecutive shutouts for the senior keeper. “But the personal shutout streak isn’t important compared to winning the game,” he said. After Warner’s goal with seven minutes left regained the lead for Burroughs, Notre Dame cranked up the offensive pressure even more. In the last minute, with all players in the offensive end and their own goal empty, two defenders nearly knotted the score for the Bulldogs. Senior Dawson Compas drove a free kick from midfield toward sophomore Tommy Taylor, whose header sailed over the top of the goal.

Zach Hendrix, the co-founder of GreenPal, a company that helps homeowners find lawn care businesses, poses for a photo Oct. 16 in his office in Nashville, Tennessee. When four of Hendrix’s staffers couldn’t get along, or even speak to each other, Hendrix didn’t see firing one or more as an option. Instead, he formed a company soccer team that included all four staffers, and within weeks they were communicating and working together in the office and on the field.

A hull lot of fun Brown’s Pecan Farm serves up a pie-full of holiday treats

n a gently rolling hill outside Whitewater, 300 pecan trees are loaded with green-hulled nuts — about 3,000 pounds’ worth, estimates Renee Brown. She and husband Bob Brown are working with their son, Allen, on a sunny Tuesday morning, Oct. 30, on Brown’s Pecan Farm to harvest pecans before the MARYBETH next day’s predicted NIEDERKORN rainfall. Rainfall’s not good The Business for pecans, Notebook is a whose compilation shells can of business decay if hunews stories midity is too received by high, Renee the Southeast said, and Missourian. that means To submit the nut news, email itself isn’t mniederas tasty. korn@semisBut Bob is sourian.com. at the wheel of a small tractor, kitted out with a plywood canopy over his head, and a hydraulic piece of equipment whose wide jaws clamp onto a pecan tree — and shake it. Three seconds of vigorous agitation, and the tarps under the tree have disappeared under a blanket of pecans, leaves and twigs. “We’ll fold up the tarps and separate out the pecans,” Renee said.

KASSI JACKSON ~ kjackson@semissourian.com

Bob Brown uses a specialized piece of equipment to shake pecans off of a tree during the harvest on the pecan farm Tuesday in Whitewater. From there, they’ll be put through machines in their Health Department-inspected facility. For all that, they started with only a shovel for equipment, Renee said, but their operation now includes industrial equipment used to sanitize, crack and shell the pecans, as well as a full industrial kitchen to add sugar and chocolate to the pecans. Of course, they sell plain pecans, too, she said, and another machine pulls the “bitters” from each hulled pecan. And there’s a drying machine, a boxy structure built from plywood and a motorized fan. It keeps the pecans from getting moldy or bitter, or the shells from decaying, Renee said. Fourteen years ago, Bob and Renee Brown moved to the country, near Whitewater, and planted pecan trees. About four years ago,

those trees started to produce — about 300 pounds of pecans, to start. Every year since, more and more and more pecans are loading down the limbs, Renee said, and eventually, “We ran out of family and friends to give them to, so we started selling.” And, she said, “People buy more pecans when there’s a little sugar on them.” On the farm, four main varieties of pecan tree stand in long rows, spaced widely enough to allow good air circulation, Renee said. Missouri’s humidity wreaks havoc on the trees, she said, and blight and rot can be an issue if the fallen hulls and leaves aren’t kept swept away from the trees’ roots. And, of course, wildlife is a continual presence. Saplings have wooden stakes slanted into the ground around them to keep the deer from rubbing

on them, Renee said, and each tree has a long metallic ribbon streamer tied on. Those serve two functions: keep birds away and mark trees that haven’t been harvested yet. And then there are the squirrels. From a wild treeline to one area of the pecan orchard, there’s a narrow line, almost like a squirrel highway, worn smooth from their scurrying footprints to and fro. Renee said having an owl on the premises is helpful, but that’s about the only pest control method used, aside from some slight spraying against insects and disease. But any spraying is done far in advance of the outer hulls opening, she said. The brown-and-black pecan shell doesn’t get the chemicals. “To have a good nut, you want a good color, a nice appearance,” Renee said. “You want one that’s kind of plump, and when you start eating it, it should be crisp, should crack, and have a nicer flavor.” For ordering information, contact monutbrown@ yahoo.com.

Company owners need to step in when staffers can’t get along BY JOYCE M. ROSENBERG

ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — When four of Zach Hendrix’s staffers couldn’t get along or even speak to one another, he tried talking, cajoling and negotiating with them. But nothing worked. He couldn’t fire any of the staffers — they’re too critical to the success of GreenPal, a business that helps homeowners find lawn care services through an app and a website. So, Hendrix tried a novel approach: He formed a soccer team including the four workers. When employees of a small business can’t get along and maybe even despise each other, the discord can threaten a company’s productivity and existence. Key staffers could quit in frustration. And with a low unemployment rate — 3.7 percent in the latest Labor Department report — and shrinking labor pool, owners can’t afford to lose their best workers. Thinly staffed small businesses are especially vulnerable if a key employee leaves, so it becomes incumbent on a boss to look for a solution when there’s ongoing workplace animosity. Hendrix, co-founder of the Nashville, Tennessee-based GreenPal, considered alternatives such as allowing one or more staffers to work remotely or relocating their workstations to different places in the office. But that

wouldn’t have gotten to the root of the problem — these staffers, whom Hendrix calls “high-performing yet headstrong,” didn’t want to work with each other. But after they started playing soccer together, they developed respect for one another and learned how to be better colleagues. The team even finished second in its league. Workplace animosity going beyond the occasional disagreement can have a variety of causes including personality conflicts, jealousy over salary and assignments, a stressful atmosphere in general. An owner should start searching for a solution by listening to staffers and taking their feelings seriously, even if the boss doesn’t agree with their point of view, said Rick Gibbs, a consultant with the Houston-based human resources provider Insperity. “You need to be validating it rather than saying, ‘Get over it,’” Gibbs said. “Even if you’ve got enough to do, you should be understanding what pushes the buttons of these people.” Miscommunication can be a factor in ongoing disagreements, especially when staffers email or text rather than talk; the lack of body language and other non-verbal cues for workers to interpret leads to misunderstandings. As Dave Lane learned, getting staffers to sit down and talk can help. See STAFFERS, Page 4B

Tools and tactics to do your own financial planning BY ANNA-LOUISE JACKSON

NERDWALLET

Find quality free advice

In one particular chickenand-egg debate, what comes first is clear: It makes sense to hire a financial adviser only after you can afford one — not in the hopes of building wealth someday. Financial advisers often require a minimum amount of investable assets (for many advisers that amount is at least $250,000), and their fees can place financial planning out of reach for many. Fortunately, there are less expensive — even free — resources that make financial planning accessible to most people. Because time is a powerful ally when it comes to building your money, it’s important to get started as soon as possible. Here’s how to begin.

A good financial adviser asks questions to understand a client’s finances and goals; do-it-yourselfers can find tools to replicate those steps. The internet is awash with information, including tools for creating (and keeping to) a budget, seeing how much home you can afford, and calculating loan payments or your readiness for retirement. The following sources of free financial advice can help you navigate this journey: Financial institutions It’s hip to talk about personal finance and you may have access to tools and other useful information from your current providers. Many banks and credit unions have free budgeting and financial-planning tools. Employers and 401(k) providers offer retirement-planning tools. Online

brokers have a variety of educational resources related to investing — TD Ameritrade and Ally Invest are among those offering such information to anyone for free, with no customer login required. Reputable resources Whether you consult a blog or a bank, look for a policy of editorial independence that ensures you’re not getting biased advice. Search for disclosures about how a company or blog makes money, whether content is sponsored by an advertiser or business partnership and for assurances the people writing reviews aren’t influenced by such affiliations. Specialized organizations If you’ve been derailed by a financial issue (such as bankruptcy or tax problems), several organizations offer free, or nearly free, advice. For example, the IRS’ Taxpayer Ad-

vocate Service can help you resolve tax problems, while the Association for Financial Counseling and Planning Education offers affordable financial coaching to help you to solve money challenges.

Build your foundation Strive to master these basics as soon as possible: Setting a budget. Funding a rainy day account to cover emergency expenses. Aim for $500 to start, then gradually build toward covering a few months’ expenses. Saving for retirement. If your employer matches part of your 401(k) contributions, grab that free money.

Then, bring on the robots Next, focus on investing money you won’t need to tap within five years. Automated services

semissourian.com/business

called robo-advisers offer an easy way to get started. The services use computer algorithms to select and manage a portfolio for you. They’re attractive for beginner investors for two important reasons: low fees and low minimum balance requirements. Many robo-advisers charge fees ranging from 0.25 percent to 0.50 percent of invested assets, and several providers don’t require a minimum amount to open an account. Robo-advisers offer additional perks, including educational resources for help with planning for retirement or other financial goals, like buying a house. Many of these companies recognize customers also want hands-on assistance — and they’ve included access to a human adviser in the fees you’re already paying. Wealthsimple and SoFi Wealth, for example, offer access to human advisers while

still meeting low-cost and low-balance thresholds.

Capitalize on compound interest Compound interest — when you earn interest both on your initial investment and the interest it’s already earned — is why you want to begin investing as early as possible. If you invest $1,000 in your 20s, it will grow to nearly $10,300 after 40 years assuming a 6 percent rate of return. But wait until your 30s to start and, with only 30 years to grow, that $1,000 will be just under $5,750. As your financial situation becomes more complicated, you may eventually decide working with a human adviser will best help you to achieve your goals. In the meantime, because time is key to growing wealth, it’s important to begin planning your financial future as soon as possible.

Small businesses seeking seasonal help need to get creative BY JOYCE M. ROSENBERG

ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Small businesses are having a harder time finding holiday staffers this year as they try to compete with big players such as Amazon for a shrinking labor pool. Human resources consultants say owners need to get creative in where they look, and what they offer prospective hires. Here are some tips: Go beyond the obvious places when looking for staffers. Owners should recruit seasonal staffers among people who don’t work, such as retirees, or who work off-hours, such as bartenders, said Kate Zabriskie, owner of Business Training Works, a company offering management and other business training. Owners should also consider flexible staffing, offering work in terms of hours rather than days, to attract stay-at-home parents and others who have limited time. Be generous with hiring bonuses and other incentives. Owners should give their seasonal staffers as big a bonus as they can afford, and also consider perks such as gift cards and tickets to sporting events or the theater. It’s best to ask staffers what they’d like. Offer seasonal staffers benefits. Seasonal staffers usually get only their pay,

Staffers From Page 3B Lane, CEO of employee survey company Inventiv, didn’t know there was a problem until “my top designer comes into my office on the verge of tears saying, ‘You need to go deal with this jerk.’” The “jerk” was a top developer, whose emailed responses tended to be terse and gave the impression he was a cold, rude person. Lane persuaded the staffers to meet one-on-one. “Half an hour later, the designer came back to my office to let me know they had a great talk and would start relying more on face-to-face meetings or phone calls to share ideas whenever email conversations stopped feeling productive,” said Lane, whose company is based in Nashville. Owners often must act as mediators or facilitators. When ScaleFactor’s staffers didn’t get along, Derek Felderhoff met with them separately, so they could speak freely. He’s aimed at being empathic, but also honest. “I’m going to give pretty candid feedback so they can understand where their perspective might be unhealthy for them,” said Felderhoff, an HR executive at the accounting software company in Austin, Texas. He then encourages the staffers to find a way to work out their problems. When a small business client asks HR consultant David Lewis for help with warring staffers, he’ll sometimes ask the employees to take a personality test to help him — and the staffers themselves — understand their behavior. “If you can raise their awareness about different personality styles and how to work together, you may have a greater level of success” in resolving the situation, said Lewis, CEO of OperationsInc, based in Norwalk, Connecticut. Some conflicts may occur because of the ambition and drive that make a staffer a top performer, Lewis said. “They’re strong personalities and they are looking to be top dog and favorite child,” he said. And sometimes the friction comes from a philosophical disagreement, for example, over how work should be done; staffers may be heavily invested in getting things done their way. Come in with an open mind is the advice for owners from Craig Vanderburg, chief operating officer of

and at retailers, a discount on merchandise. Owners will be more competitive if they offer the same benefits they give regular employees, such as paid time off and profit-sharing, said Carlos Castelan, managing director of The Navio Group, a human resources consultancy. Work with other businesses. Many retailers may lure seasonal staffers with discounts, but they might have more success if they band together with other stores, and offer discounts to each other’s employees, Zabriskie said. “Maybe an employee could get a new tire at 25 percent off even though they’re working in a women’s clothing store,” she said. Hold a job fair or recruiting party, perhaps along with other small businesses. Small businesses could follow the lead of Taco Bell, which this summer experimented with three-hour hiring parties at four Indiana restaurants. A total of 80 people attended, and 40 of them were hired. Employees at the stores talked with visitors about working for the company, and people could have interviews on the spot. Bjorn Erland, a Taco Bell vice president, said the company ran the experiment because of the increasing difficulty it and its franchisees have had in finding staffers.

Trion Solutions, an HR provider based in Troy, Michigan. “If you’re on a predetermined side, you’re not going to work it out,” he said. Gibbs, the consultant, has worked with owners who encouraged what’s known as creative tension — bosses believe conflict pushes staffers to work harder and come up with better ideas and results. But creative tension doesn’t make staffers feel safe, Gibbs said. Carolyn Barbarite believes in prevention — hiring employees who understand part of their job description is being a team player in a small office. “It’s important that the people doing hiring are in tune to how people are going to get along and assess that prior to making the hire,” said Barbarite, who owns two companies, a coffee sweetener maker named Javamelts and a flag pole manufacturer called Pole-Tech, in Smithtown, New York. But there have been times when staffers were unable to work together. If Barbarite can’t help them find an amicable solution, or staffers aren’t willing to give ground, she’s willing to fire them. “They don’t play nice in the sandbox, so they can’t stay,” Barbarite said.

DEAR ABBY

Overbearing dad makes living at home aggravating for son Dear Abby: I’m a 34-year-old man who lives with my father, who is 76 years old. I’m curEANNE rently withHILLIPS out a job, but when I have one, I buy food and whatever else is needed for the house. I believe I’m doing my fair share. I love my father dearly, but I can’t stand him as a person. He can be very rude and verbally abusive. He has told people we know very personal things about me. When we’re visiting family, if I ask for something to eat or drink, he’ll answer, “No! You don’t need anything.” (I can tell the relatives are annoyed by him, too.) Dad played a major role in ruining a relationship with a woman I was dating. I don’t invite any of my new friends over because I know he’ll have something sarcastic to say. He also accuses me of not doing any cleaning around the house, but he fails to notice I have done it at night while he was asleep. I rarely converse with him because we have nothing in common. He takes almost no interest

J P

in what I have to say, even when I tell him about something I saw on TV. He says, “Well, you shouldn’t be watching that.” I keep my mouth shut because I need a place to live, but day by day, more and more, my rage is building, and I want to tell him off. Help, please. Living With a Tyrant Dear Living: Do not tell him off. Although you may be living “rent-free,” you are paying plenty for the “privilege” of staying under his roof. It appears your father resents having you there as much as you dislike being there. Do whatever you can to find a job. When you do, save every penny. And, for the sake of your self-respect, move out as quickly as possible so you can start living a normal life. You may need to find a roommate, but anything would be better than this. Dear Abby: My husband and I took our granddaughters, 16 and 13, on a two-week cruise to Europe this past summer. We had a wonderful time with them. To make a long story short, the 16-year-old, “Megan,” confided to us she’s afraid of failing. She’s a straight-A student and a perfectionist when it comes to her

classes. We want to make sure we use the correct words with her. These girls are precious to us, and we’re very close. Megan sent us an emotional thank-you note for the trip, as did her sister. She seems to do all the right things. We just don’t want her to put excessive pressure on herself. We’re almost 80, and they keep us young. Those girls rock our world. Could you tell us how to handle this? Loving Grandma in Arizona Dear Grandma: Tell Megan you love her and she rocks your world. Then assure her your feelings about her will never change regardless of whether she succeeds or fails at whatever she does. Nobody wants to fail, but most successful people will tell you they learned more from their failures than they did from their successes. Tell her that worse than failure is being so afraid that she isn’t willing to try. Then advise her to talk to her parents about her fears, or a counselor at school if she needs more help.

Meningitis vaccine can be a lifesaver

CMT

including sensitivity to light and vomiting, sent her to seek medical help. By the time she was admitted to a local ICU that afternoon, where she tested positive for bacterial meningitis, her kidneys had shut down and she was in septic shock. She stayed in the ICU for a month, then went through treatment and rehab for the rest of that year. Like so many young people who are struck with this disease, her first impulse was to stay in bed and sleep it off. Forcing herself to go to class, where it became clear she was having a medical crisis, saved her life. The intensity of the illness, as well as the community of medical professionals who worked to cure her, are the reasons Dr. Glazier changed majors and became a doctor. We hope you’ll find the time to bring your son back to your family doctor for the meningitis vaccine. It can be a lifesaver. Eve Glazier, M.D., MBA, is an internist and associate professor of medicine at UCLA Health. Elizabeth Ko, M.D., is an internist and assistant professor of medicine at UCLA Health.

New Yorkers get their dance on with POP TAP NEW YORK — Every Wednesday night, Broadway dancer Beth Nicely spends her one night off from the musical “Chicago” leading a group of enthusiastic New Yorkers in a joyful ritual: Tap dancing. But this isn’t the traditional shuffling and hoofing. She choreographs to pop music and calls her one-hour lessons POP TAP. “I wanted to make it relevant and reach people that don’t know how to tap and that’s through pop music,” Nicely said recently. “Everyone knows the songs and it’s just a cool juxtaposition to put tap with different contemporary songs.” The class began in Jan-

uary 2017 as a way for Nicely to help a group of friends planning to do a tap show. She said she’d choreograph it if they used pop music to up the fun factor. The classes continued beyond the performance date and Nicely said word of mouth led to growing popularity. “I couldn’t keep up with the texts,” she said of people asking to join. Now she posts on Instagram and on Facebook when a class is happening and asks those interested to direct message her for details. That’s a way to keep it safe and to vet the dancers. Some tap experience is required. After all, her students have just an hour to learn a complete dance. “I would say in the tap

world it’s like intermediate level, so you can’t just come and be like, ‘I can do this.”’ The turnout is mostly female but there are some male tappers who occasionally take part. Nicely said her attendees include other dancers, lawyers, bakers, the vice president of marketing for a restaurant group and moms who used to take dance and need some “me time.” Dancers and dance teachers visiting New York have also attended while in town, learning about it from social media. “I think everyone in class will tell you it feels like creating and doing something special and fun,” said Nicely. “Moving your feet, relieving stress, getting positive feelings.”

Medicare Quick Points Many people are asking where their new Medicare cards are and what they have to do to get them. New Medicare cards are on the way; they should be here by the end of the year, and you only have to make sure the address that Social Security has for you is up-todate. Medicare will not call you and ask for your information to send you a card. Medicare will not charge you for your new card, either. Several people in our area have received calls that they must send $5 to $25 to get their card; that is a scam. Please do not give your Medicare or Social Security number out to someone who calls you on the phone. Another recent question is what to do with letters and information that promote a website Medicare.com to access Medicare information. That site is not in any way affiliated with Medicare. If you need Medicare information, go to Medicare.gov. The “.gov” is important, letting you know you are on the real Medicare government site. If the internet is not a way you like to communicate, you can also call 1 (800) MEDICARE or 1 (800) 633-4227. Aging Matters will happily help with your Medicare questions at 1 (800) 392-8771. Medicare also has changes to the cost: the standard Medicare Part B premium will be $135.50. Some will pay less because the Social Security COLA raise of 2.8 percent will not cover an increase. Those with higher incomes — more than $85,000 for a person filing single or $107,000 for a couple filing jointly — could pay more. If you have limited income and assets, you might qualify for help with your Medicare costs; call Aging Matters to find out. The Medicare Part A deductible will increase to $1,364 per benefit period, and the Part B deductible will increase from $2 to $185. Many Part D plans are changing, and we already have begun to help beneficiaries sort through the plans available. Open Enrollment for Medicare Part B continues until Dec. 7. Please check your plan to make sure you are in the best plan for you. If you have any questions about Medicare, please call Aging Matters at 1 (800) 392-8771 or (573) 335-3331.

Thank You, Veterans Quilts of Valor program provides handmade quilts to veterans BY RACHAEL LONG PHOTOS BY TYLER GRAEF A few days each year, Americans observe holidays that honor and commemorate veterans. American flags line driveways and parks and decorate the windows of businesses and homes. For the veterans who gave their service and risked their lives to protect American liberty, those days are some of the only appreciation they receive. But for many local quilters, thanking veterans is a honor sewn into the fabric of their hearts. Mary Green is one of three chairpersons for the Quilts of Valor project through the River Heritage Quilt Guild in Cape Girardeau, along with Karla Kiefner and Donna Irwin. The project presents veterans who have been nominated by a friend or family member with quilts as a way to thank them for their service. Green says the local guild has presented 28 veterans with quilts since the project began in 2014. The project is just one arm of the Quilts of Valor Foundation, a national organization whose mission is “to cover all combat service members and veterans touched by war with comforting and healing Quilts of Valor.” Since 2003, when the national foundation originated, 198,175 quilts have been awarded to veterans. Members of the guild who wish to make a quilt for veterans have one year to complete the quilt, Green says, and must follow specific guidelines to ensure quality, consistency and cleanliness.

The Miss Julia Series, by Ann B. Ross Old South meets New South in the light-hearted “Miss Julia” series, by Ann B. Ross. Spending time with Miss Julia is like going to a family reunion and sitting beside a favorite aunt who is privy to all the family secrets. Julia is a southern lady — the kind who has always done what the men in her life told her to do: “When Papa said, ‘Jump,’ I was always the first one in the air,” she reflects. When her controlling husband of 44 years, Wesley Lloyd Springer, dies of a heart attack, Julia is shocked to discover she’s not just a widow, but a rather wealthy one. As if that isn’t enough of a shock, Hazel Marie Puckett shows up on her doorstep with a 9-year-old boy in tow and a bit of news: Wesley wasn’t just a banker, church leader, Bible-thumper and community pillar — he was also a philandering hypocrite. The boy is Wesley’s illegitimate son, and since Wesley hadn’t provided for little Lloyd in his will, Hazel has to do it herself. Hazel Marie has enrolled in beauty school in Raleigh, North Carolina, and she’ll be leaving the boy in the care of his daddy’s widow. Miss Julia feels she has no choice but to take the poor child in. The storyline is complicated by the fact Miss Julia’s inheritance has attracted the attention of a whole passel of southern eccentrics, all plotting to find a way to get their hands on her newfound wealth. No one would suspect the prim, quiet Miss Julia might prove to be a handful. But Julia has spent far too many years being proper and doing what she’s been told; the last thing she’s going to do now is hold her tongue and worry about keeping up appearances. At the age of 60, she’s finally ready to speak her mind. Imagine, if you will, an eclectic mix of Ouiser and Clairee from “Steel Magnolias” and Dorothy and Sophia from “The Golden Girls.” Miss Julia may be a widow, but she’s an empowered one. As it turns out, there is life after Wesley — quite a lot of it. There are 22 books in the “Miss Julia” series to date; pick one up at the library in regular or large-print format. They are also available as audiobooks, or as a downloaded e-book from the library’s overdrive collection on your favorite device.

“Many of our veterans have gone off to fight, to sacrifice their lives … and come home and don’t have the gratification that is so well-deserved,” Green says. “To have an organization that is willing to do something for people that they don’t even know, to give them something to keep forever as a reminder of a thank you and appreciation, that’s what it’s all about.” Former recipient and United States Navy veteran Ron Lessman says he was “totally overwhelmed” to receive his Quilt of Valor three years ago. “I look at it often and use it in the wintertime,” Lessman says, noting the quilt’s beauty and detail. Lessman hails from Baltimore, attended the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, and spent 21 years in the Navy. During his service, Lessman spent time in Cuba “chasing the Russians around” and in the North Atlantic during the Cold War. He also went into dentistry. He moved around with his wife and three kids often, answering the call of the military. Since 1990, Lessman has lived in Cape Girardeau, where he has a downtown dentistry practice. Lessman continues to serve his country as an admissions officer for the Naval Academy, interviewing and advising young people during the admissions process and presenting their acceptance to the academy. Lessman says he advises applicants with the idea they live in “the best place in the world” and everyone should do their part to give back in whatever way they can. “When we join the military, man, woman, teenager, most of us do it just out of respect for our country, willing to do what we need to do to keep us safe, keep us free, but not expecting to be honored or remembered,” Lessman says.

Simms, says receiving his quilt meant everything to him. “It meant that people actually care and appreciate what we do and what we did,” Simms says. Simms served in the United States Navy from 1982 to 1990. Following his service, he moved around the country, met his wife and started work at a mental health care facility, where he worked until Aug. 1. Simms received his Quilt of Valor four years ago, and he says the knowledge people actually care about veterans was rewarding. “Appreciate the veterans, show them love, show them that you are behind them, with them, beside them,” Simms says. “Recognition, it goes a long way.” Remembering and honoring veterans is what Green says the Quilts of Valor program is all about. “The quilts themselves are to remind the veterans that they’re forever in the thoughts of whoever made the quilt, as well as giving comfort and warmth,” Green says. When asked if he would go through his service all over again, Simms’ response is prompt and simple: “Heck yeah, in a New York minute.”

Nope, the residents aren’t on a farm. They are trying to call in a battery-operated pig, participating in the hog calling event at the 35th Annual Golden Age Games at the Osage Center in Cape Girardeau. The hog calling is one of the many events of The Golden Age Games, which are aimed at enhancing and bringing joy to the lives of area nursing home residents. The Golden Age Games are organized each year by the Missouri Health Care Association (MCHA) District V, Missouri’s largest association of licensed, long-term health care facilities, residential care facilities and assisted living facilities dedicated to improving the quality of life for long-term care residents. “It is a pleasure for us to plan and organize this event for our residents,” says Gay Hartness, treasurer of MHCA District V. “Each home reaches out to their communities to solicit everything we need for a successful event. It is a joy to see the residents enjoy each other, see new faces and compete vigorously for medals and trophies.” The theme of this year’s Golden Age Games is “Once Upon a Time.” Residents from 12 area nursing homes from Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, to Caruthersville, Missouri, dress as characters from “Mary Poppins,” “The Wizard of Oz” and “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” to name a few of the movies chosen by each living facility. The day kicks off with a parade, in which the residents model their costumes while riding on the themed floats they built. The residents next compete in games such as a football throw, ping pong ball toss and bowling. After lunch, residents show off their dancing skills through choreographed dances. Nurses, activities directors and other assisted living employees push residents playing tambourines in their wheelchairs to a song from “Mary Poppins,” do “The Twist” with residents and walk along the Yellow Brick Road, arm in arm.

The day concludes with a ceremony in which the first, second and third place winners for games, costumes, crafts and dancing receive medals and trophies. Kim Hall, activities director at South Gate Living Center in Caruthersville, Missouri, says one of the residents commented the Golden Age Games was the best day of their life. The day means a lot to Hall, too. “Seeing a lot of the residents get out, meeting new people, the smiles on their faces, interacting with us outside of the living center — it’s been a great day,” Hall says. “We interact with them everyday, but it’s inside [the living center]. When people come to us and come into our home, we get to take them outside [through days like today at the Golden Age Games] and let them see the outside world. It means a lot to us.” Volunteers from 10 area businesses within the nursing home industry, such as John’s Pharmacy, Aging Matters and Crown Hospice in Cape Girardeau, volunteer to run and judge the events for the day.

Historian and Artist Photographer Larry Braun documents local history BY RACHAEL LONG | PHOTOS BY BEN MATTHEWS

In the 1970s, Larry Braun could be found in the South China Sea, serving in the United States Navy on the USS Midway. The 66 - year – old Vietnam War veteran never wouldhave anticipated back then that four decades later, he would be a retired chemist with a love for digital art and photography.

1 2 • T B Y N OV E M B E R 2 0 1 8

Some of his first images, captured on film, were taken when the ship docked in places like Singapore, Japan, the Philippines, Korea and Hong Kong. He still has those images on slides, keepsakes of a different time. Back then, photography was a hobby, a way to document his travels and preserve

his own memories. Now, it’s Braun’s way of capturing memories for others. But before his first piece of art ever decorated the walls of banks or hospitals where many Braun originals can now be found, he would first have a long career in science.

Above: Larry Braun poses for a photo with three of his custom birdhouses and one of his digitally– enhanced HDR photographs at his home in Benton, Missouri. Right: Larry Braun holds a custom – built birdhouse with an image of Tower Rock displayed on the side.

His work After returning from his service, Braun attended Southeast Missouri State University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in chemistry. He wanted a more stable way than photography to make a living and enjoyed science, so after graduation, he went to work for the New Madrid Power Plant. There, he spent 34 years working in performance monitoring. And though a career as a chemist may seem like a far cry from the creativity and artistry photography provides, Braun says his time at the power plant gave him the freedom to be innovative and imaginative as he developed new programs to increase efficiency in the plant. “I’ve always been creative,” Braun says. After his children grew up, Braun says he started hiking. It was through nature that Braun was reintroduced to his former love of photography. At first, Braun says his priority was the hike itself, and the photographs were just for fun. But once the camera found its way back into his

hands, it wasn’t long before his love for photography became the reason for his hikes. His art was quickly met with accolades such as a first-place finish in the 2008 Pictures by the People Photo Contest — his first award — and third place in the 2014 Strictly Digital Photo Contest from the Shawnee Hill Arts Council of Anna, Illinois. He says earning awards gave him confidence in his early days as an artist. Now he’s a member of the Arts Council of Southeast Missouri, the Visual Arts Co-op of Cape Girardeau and the Ste. Genevieve Artist Guild. He has been published in various publications like the Architecture Digest, the Hometown Directories for Cape Girardeau and Sikeston and REI Castor River. Though he dabbled in photography during the height of the print age, Braun’s creations are right in step with the digital world. Along with his photographs of landscapes, historic buildings and collection of counties throughout Southeast Missouri, Braun uses textures on top of his images to create digital artwork. “There are some people that say, ‘When you take a picture, that’s what it is,’” Braun says. “For me, that’s a starting point. I take a picture and I ask, ‘Where can I take this?’”

T B Y N OV E M B E R 2 0 1 8 • 1 3

In this in-camera double exposure photograph, photographer Larry Braun is seen editing a photo of a Holcomb, Missouri, library at his home in Benton, Missouri.

Braun says he uses textures to bring his artistic impressions into the photo, as well as the feelings the image elicits for him, “like a painter.” He has about 200 textures with which he regularly works. Much of his inspiration, Braun says, is drawn from artists like Edward Hopper, a 19th-century realist painter and printmaker, and Andrew Wyeth, a well-known realist painter of the mid-20th century. These artists, Braun says, documented themes of the displacement of disenfranchised people during the era of industrialization. Through that lens, Braun draws parallels to his own work. “In our day, though, it’s kind of like the computer age has taken us from each other,” Braun says. “Maybe I’m using the same theme in a modern perspective.”

“Retirement” Working as a full-time artist may not have been what he expected out of retirement, but Braun finds joy in creating art out of the ordinary. The ability to connect communities through memories of the place they call home is what Braun says he loves most about his art. Sharing images that start conversations, especially on social media platforms, is how Braun says he sells memories “in bulk.” Braun does his own printing for anything up to 12x18 inches. Any print 1 4 • T B Y N OV E M B E R 2 0 1 8

job larger than that he takes to a printing company. Along with his unique production process, the artist sets himself apart by creating birdhouses that feature his images and postcard sets that contain images of entire counties in Southeast Missouri. The market for art-infused birdhouses is small but growing, and Braun says he has sold more than 500 of them since he began the unique venture. Whether Braun is more historian or photographer remains unknown, but it seems his passion for both go handin-hand. He has spent a great deal of time photographing and learning about historic places in the area, and those who purchase his postcard sets will find on the backsides factoids and unique bits of history about each county. He’s also photographed every house in Cape Girardeau listed on the National Register of Historic Places. “Nobody does what I do.” Braun says. “I took great landscapes, but [so did] a lot of other people. … So I started these historic buildings.” Braun’s work can be purchased through his website, and many of his images are listed on Fine Art America. He also does presentations for groups or organizations, which gives him a platform from which to show off his work and teach the community the history behind his images.

Anne Hutson, docent coordinator at the Red House Interpretive Center in Cape Girardeau, stands on the spacious front porch of the center in what would have been known in the 1800s as “traditional farm woman attire.” “I’d like to welcome you to the Red House Interpretive Center,” Hutson says. “You’re standing now in the valley of the Mississippi River.”

It is a beautiful fall day, and Hutson starts the tour outside. The Red House Interpretive Center is a replica of the original Red House, which was built across the street as a home and trading post by the founder of Cape Girardeau, a French Canadian named Louis Lorimier. The center was built by volunteers in the early 2000s and is maintained by them yearround, along with local garden clubs, Cape Girardeau’s Parks and Recreation Department

and the Parks and Recreation Foundation. It is open to the public on Saturdays from the beginning of May until the end of October. The outside of the center pays homage to classic French architecture with vertical log construction, and the inside displays authentic pieces that would have been traded during the time Lorimer resided there. There are tea blocks, pieces of cotton cloth, bells, playing cards, ox horn cups, bone-handled forks and even ostrich feathers on display, to name just a few of the artifacts. Don Koehler, volunteer and co-chair of the Red House Interpretive Center Advisory Board, says he is involved with the center because he is a bit of a history buff. “I’ve enjoyed history and different parts of history throughout my whole life,” Koehler says. He says that his part as co-chair entails thinking up new activities and ways to keep the Red House going. He says having an interest in the history of Cape Girardeau is important for people who are volunteers at the center. “Without that, it doesn’t amount to much,” Koehler says. “[Volunteers] will take what we give them and further develop it on their own. Most of all, you should interact and enjoy it.” There are many ways to get involved, since the center is made possible by people willing to volunteer their time and efforts. People can volunteer as docents who give scripted tours, work at special yearly activities or man the store inside the center. Julia Jones, Parks and Recreation director and Red House Interpretive Center Advisory Board liaison, says the center is Anne Hutson stands in full dress always looking for docents who for a photo at the Red House Interpretive Center in Cape have a passion for history. Girardeau. “The volunteers get to experience the boat dockings,” Jones says, speaking of the ways volunteering at the center is an enriching experience. “People come down the Mississippi River and get to wander downtown, and one of their stops is the Red House. Some volunteers have spoken with people that live as far away as Australia and Japan. You get to share that part of our city and the history. The docents are very proud of Cape.” Hutson has been volunteering with the center for 15 years and was even there on opening day. She says she enjoys meeting the people that visit the center, especially the kids. Of the 2,000 visitors the center gets each year, she says that at least 500 are children. “I’m a retired teacher,” Hutson says. “I taught fifth grade for eight years. While teaching fifth grade, you’re really starting to get into the history. The local history, as well as the state and U.S. history. I have always been interested in that.” This year, the volunteers plan to celebrate a “French Christmas” at the Red House during the first two weekends of December. “We hope people join us down here,” Hutson says. “People wouldn’t have decorated much for Christmas back then. It would have been boughs of evergreens, and one thing that the French loved were the red ribbons, so we will have a lot of red ribbons.”

Thankful for Peanut Butter

Stock image

I think if I went back through all of my “Delicious Reading” columns, there probably would be at least half a dozen that involving peanut butter. This ingredient is always on our grocery list, as it can be used for savory stir-fries, sweet desserts, energy-packed breakfasts or on a filling sandwich to satisfy a child who doesn’t like what we are having for dinner on a given night. There were times in grad school when it was all we could afford and times when I was pregnant when it was all I could tolerate. When food pantries ask for donations, I always contribute a jar. My childhood friend, Christinia Ciaccio, who is now an allergist and immunologist at the University of Chicago’s Children’s Hospital, is working to end the epidemic of peanut allergies so more and more kids can enjoy this cheap, healthy source of protein. Once, when I wondered aloud at a church gathering why my Chinese students who joined us for Thanksgiving didn’t like pumpkin or apple pie, my friend, Ina, who served with her husband, Ron, as missionaries in China for many years, told me cinnamon is used medicinally in China. I realized my dessert choices would be the equivalent of offering someone from America a slice of cake flavored with menthol and eucalyptus. I started serving desserts made with chocolate and/or peanut butter on the Thanksgiving buffet, with great success. Yes, I’m thankful for peanut butter, dear readers. And I never tire of finding new recipes utilizing it. Here are two recent favorites:

A.P.P.L.E. Project Helps Senior Adults Navigate Paperwork BY ANN HAYES, SOUTHEAST MISSOURI STATE UNIVERSITY COMMUNICATIONS

With Medicare open enrollment beginning Oct. 15, now is the time for older adults to begin reviewing their prescription drug plans in preparation for 2019. That’s according to Jean Gooden, director of the A.P.P.L.E. Project at Southeast Missouri State University. She says five plans will be expiring this year, with seven new plans scheduled to take effect in the new year. “It’s complicated,” Gooden says. “There are so many rules.” That’s where the A.P.P.L.E. Project — helping senior adults with applications, personal papers, legal and environmental paperwork — comes in. The A.P.P.L.E. Project is a free outreach program of the Department of Child and Family Studies in the College of Education, Health and Human Studies at Southeast. The program helps senior adults ages 60 and older who are residents of Cape Girardeau, Perry and Scott counties with a variety of paperwork. Gooden says A.P.P.L.E.’s mission is to help educate senior adults about available resources. “We don’t sell anything,” she says. “And we don’t charge anything.” From applications for Medicare supplements and prescription coverage, to insurance claims, bills, taxes, legal issues and forms, these matters can be time-consuming, confusing and downright daunting, Gooden says. A.P.P.L.E., she says, is happy to help older adults navigate these systems. Dorothy, a Jackson resident, has sought A.P.P.L.E.’s expertise on more than one occasion. “They have helped me so much,” she says. “They have helped with everything I need done. It has been fantastic. I would be lost without them.” When Dorothy moved to Missouri 11 years ago, she realized she had a learning curve in getting up to speed with state regulations. “Missouri is completely different than the state I came from,” she says. A.P.P.L.E. has helped Dorothy with shopping for and setting up her Medicare supplement, and she’s scheduled to visit with A.P.P.L.E. staff in a couple of weeks to discuss Medicare open enrollment. A.P.P.L.E. staff also have helped her fill out paperwork for propane gas for heating her home. “They have been wonderful, and they have been wonderful for a lot more people than just me,” she says.

They did an outstanding job. They know what they’re doing. I highly recommend them.” — Barb Kinsey

Barb Kinsey of Cape Girardeau also reached out to A.P.P.L.E. last fall as she began the process of enrolling in Medicare. “They did an outstanding job,” she says. “They know what they’re doing. I highly recommend them.” Kinsey says A.P.P.L.E. provided her with names of several brokers for her to consider in getting enrolled in a Medicare supplement and prescription drug plan. “They are very versed in all that,” she says. Gooden says senior adults often are undecided about which Medicare supplement they need. Some find Medicare and insurance claims confusing and could use help with getting their bills paid on time, as well. The A.P.P.L.E. Project supports the independence of senior adults by providing them with counseling, advocacy, education and direct assistance. Its services include, but are not limited to, paperwork related to Medicare and supplemental health care insurance, long-term care insurance, advance directives, prescription assistance, property tax credits, credit and billing issues, financial record-keeping, applications for assistance, consumer fraud and low-vision resources. The A.P.P.L.E. Project also provides outreach services at a variety of community sites, which are convenient and familiar to senior adults. In addition to having an office at 920 Broadway Suite 311 in downtown Cape Girardeau,

A.P.P.L.E. representatives regularly visit senior citizen centers, residential complexes and satellite sites in selected rural communities. Home visits also are available to the homebound. A.P.P.L.E. representatives visit the Cape Girardeau Senior Center on Thursdays; the Jackson Senior Center on the second Wednesday of the month and the last weekday of the month; the Scott City Senior Center on the first Tuesday of the month; the Perryville, Missouri, Senior Center on the third Thursday of the month; and the Altenburg, Missouri, Senior Center on the fourth Wednesday of the month. A.P.P.L.E. also plans to visit senior housing centers next spring. Grants from the Senior Citizens’ Services Fund Board of Cape Girardeau County, Southeast Missouri United Way, Perryville Tax Commission, CLAIM and client donations help fund the project.

A SERVICE DOG AND VETERAN PTSD AWARENESS EVENT

BY STEVEN BENDER

2 0 • T B Y N OV E M B E R 2 0 1 8

For several years now, the thought of veteran suicide has been on my mind, and back in February it came upon my heart to do something — however small — to help fight against it. After months of planning, a number of us came together on Sept. 15 at Klondike Park in St. Charles County for an awareness event and to help raise money for Battle Buddy Service Dogs of Kansas City. If you have Facebook, you can look up the event searching for the term “River Bottom Ruck.” Three service dogs and nearly 50 people participated in this first-time event. Highlights included speakers Steve Hamblin of Cape Girardeau, Brandi Puchas of Kansas City, Mark Heimkes of Battle Buddy and Rich Siebert, who lost his son to suicide. Hamblin’s video is on the Ruck page, and I encourage you to view it. We also held raffles that day to help raise money for Battle Buddy, and the donors included Cabela’s, First Spear, Rex Specs, The Range — St. Louis West, Pet Cot Company, Urban Chestnut Brewing Company and Cool Canine All Natural Dog Treats of Shell Knob, Missouri, to name a few. Brooks Armory of O’Fallon, Missouri, donated a custom-built 6.5 Creedmoor rifle, and that raffle will continue until Nov. 7. By the time we’re done with fundraising, we should have nearly $2,500 going toward one service dog for a veteran diagnosed with PTSD. After the event speakers had finished, a number of us went on a hike — or ruck — on Katy Trail. We did a group photo at the Augusta trailhead (pictured).

Several event goers stop to take a picture after a hike on Katy Trail at the Augusta trailhead in Augusta, Missouri.

This event has inspired me to begin working on a larger service dog-related event for next year, and if it comes together as hoped, it will be awesome. Service dogs can be trained to help veterans in a number of ways, including being a buffer in crowded public places, helping wake someone during nightmares and being the eyes and ears for a human who just wants to relax. Service dogs can be expensive, and there has to be a bond created between the canine/human pair. Veterans with service dogs tend to manage PTSD better than those without. If we can get one service dog to a veteran with PTSD issues, then it’s possible the symptoms can be mitigated, and ultimately, there may be one less veteran suicide.

POP WARE (GRANDPA)

BY BURTON BOCK Burton Bock has transitioned from middle-aged man to retired man. He enjoys reading, writing and sometimes even ‘rithmetic.

Some people have family connections. They might help you get into a certain college, for example, or get a job. When I was almost 5, I discovered to my happy surprise, that I, too, had connections. They came from, of all people, my grandpa. Who would have guessed a school janitor could have such pull? Now, he couldn’t jump the line to get choice tables at expensive restaurants, or wheel and deal at the country club (though he was a country boy). But one day, in early June, he did something amazing. He gave me the best gift I’d ever received in my young life. Still wearing his work clothes, Grandpa parked his tan Studebaker, and Mom and Dad met him at the door. As I came from my room to greet him, I heard Mom say, “I’ll bet he’d like those!” He had a little smile on his face as he handed me something. It was a cigar box, Roi-Tan. “Cigars?” I wondered aloud. They all laughed. “Open it,” Grandpa said. Inside was something so exciting it might as well have been the discovery of the tomb of King Tut. As I lifted the lid, I saw what turned out to be more than 100 baseball cards, most from the current 1958 season, in three stacks bound with rubber bands. The three cards on top were Dick Groat, Lew Burdette and Minnie Minoso. Dad nodded, “Those are good ones.” Grandpa said they were doubles high school boys had given him on the last day of school when he said he had a grandson who would enjoy them. My janitor grandpa seemed magical that day, a broom-shaking shaman. And I felt sorry for other kids who weren’t as lucky as me because they didn’t have grandpas who were janitors with the connections to get lots of free baseball cards. He was our step-grandpa on Mom’s side, but he was just “Grandpa” to us. Richard Merit Ware. Dick Ware to Grandma and the family, or Richard, a.k.a. Pop, to some. He met my widowed grandma in the early 1940s when he worked as a chef at The Eat Shop (now Katie O’Farrell’s) in Cape Girardeau. After a couple of years, they

married and my schoolgirl mother, her sister and their older brother had a stepdad. Soon my grandparents opened Merchant’s Grill across from the courthouse, a diner with red booths and bar stools. If Grandpa had his own baseball card of life, it would show steady consistency throughout the years. His batting averages would not be particularly high or low, but he would be known for coming through in the clutch, like when two young girls and their brother needed a good stepdad, or when it was time to get up every day at 4 a.m. to go to work. His card would show him with a broom or maybe a fishing rod resting on his shoulder, and the little cartoon on the back would tell how he had many friends, and few — if any — enemies. I just wish Grandpa was still around to read this to make him feel good. But that would make him 113, so I guess I should have written this a long time ago. Anyway, I think he knew we loved him.

Fold in chocolate chips/peanut butter chips, and if you choose to add crushed peanuts, fold those in, too. Pat the dough into an 8x8-inch pan sprayed with cooking spray. Bake for 20 minutes, and check to see if the edges are getting brown. If they are, take them out, even if the middle doesn’t look “done.” If edges are not brown, check every 3-5 minutes until they are. Cool thoroughly, and cut into 12 squares.

Loaded Peanut Butter Cookie Pie from Averie Cooks (from averiecooks.com) • • • •

1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted 1 large egg 1 cup light brown sugar, packed 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

• • • •

1/3 cup creamy peanut butter 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste 1/2 cup brown and orange, fallthemed sprinkles (substitute with chocolate jimmies) 1/2 cup Reese’s Pieces, plus more for sprinkling About 10 to 12 miniature peanut butter cups, unwrapped

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9-inch glass pie plate with cooking spray; set aside. In a large, microwave-safe bowl, add the butter and heat on high power to melt, approximately 1 minute. Wait momentarily before adding the egg so you don’t scramble it. Add the egg, brown sugar and vanilla, and whisk until smooth. Add the peanut butter, and stir to combine.

Add the flour and salt, and stir until just combined; don’t overmix. Add the sprinkles, and stir to combine. Add the Reese’s Pieces, and stir to combine. Turn batter out into prepared pan, smooth the top lightly with a spatula and add the peanut butter cups, evenly spaced over the surface. Push them down so they’re flush with the dough. Evenly sprinkle 1 to 2 tablespoons of extra Reese’s Pieces over the surface for visual appeal, lightly tapping them down. Bake for approximately 26 to 29 minutes, or until center is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter. Allow pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. Pie will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week.
