According to Lewis, several years ago a man she knew told her she

By Cindy Thomas As COVID-19 concerns continue across the nation, another epidemic affects even more people but receives far less attention. To address this knowledge gap, October is designated as Domestic Violence Awareness Month. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV), one in three women and one in four men in the United States experience some type of physical violence by an intimate partner during their lifetime. In Missouri, over 36 percent of women experience such abuse, based on known cases and hotline calls. The Missouri Coalition Against Domestic Violence reports that in southwest Missouri counties over 10,000 hotline calls were made in 2019. Several sources estimate an increase in abuse due to the restrictions of COVID-19, as people are under financial or emotional stress coupled with being isolated at home and less likely to confide in a work colleague or faith community. The online schooling situation also increases the chances of children witnessing abuse, which has

By K.D. Michaels, Staff Writer Dozens of people lined up on 76 Country Boulevard Sunday afternoon to show unity and spread love in Branson’s first: Be Love Give Love - Spread the Love event. Organized by former Branson resident Abby Lewis, the event offered area residents an opportunity to put aside differences of race, religion, background, social status, political party or sexual orientation, and unite in love and compassion for each other and the community. The only

agenda for Sunday’s event was to spread the love. “Recently God led me to stand on a street of my current town in North Carolina in my Be Love Give Love shirt and hat, with Be Love Give Love signs,” said Lewis, founder of the Be Love Give Love movement. “I didn’t know what to expect. But I deeply desired to do my part in spreading love and lighting up the world in a time of such division and uncertainty. People slowed down, read our signs, then they would smile

would one day be used by God to “set the world on fire.” “He said it would start in one city, and then fires would pop up in many different cities until it became a wildfire across the world.” Lewis recalled. “For years I have pondered what this man spoke and have wondered when, and what exactly, God was going to do through me.” What if this Spread the Love event is that vision coming to fruition now? Said Lewis, “My hope and prayer is that it is!”

The Branson/Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce and CVB are excited to partner with Missouri State Treasurer Scott Fitzpatrick to promote MO ABLE, a savings and investment program for Missourians with disabilities and their families. In order to spread the word to employers about this program, the Chamber will host Fitzpatrick on Thursday, October 22 at 2 pm, at the Branson Chamber & CVB Office, 4100 Gretna Road. Similar to a 529 account, the money contributed to a MO ABLE account is eligible for a state income tax deduction and it grows tax-free. The money in that account, however, is also exempt from means-testing for federal health benefits like Medicaid and SSI. According to a release, because individuals with disabilities are now able to save using a MO ABLE account without the fear of losing their necessary benefits, more

can have jobs and plan for future expenses. During October—Disability Employment Awareness Month— employers are encouraged to add payroll deduction for MO ABLE accounts to benefits packages. Adding direct deposit makes it easier for employees with disabilities to save. To register for the session with Fitzpatrick on October 22, go to https://members.bransonchamber.com/events/details/mo-ablewith-state-treasurer-scott-fitzpatrick-13721.

mental health consequences or may perpetuate the problem. Help is available. The Crisis Center of Taney County has served area victims for 30 years, providing emergency shelter, a food pantry, and a court advocate to help victims navigate legal services such as a restraining order. The Crisis Center also networks with area faith communities and provides referrals for other services a victim may need. The Center’s toll-free hotline is (866) 379-0074; the local hotline is (417) 561-5084; the 24-hour crisis text line is (717) 744-TEXT (8398). Contact can also be made through the Crisis Center of Taney County Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/ The-Crisis-Center-of-TaneyCounty-Inc-131241626929427. A frequent question during awareness campaigns is “Why doesn’t the victim just leave?” The answer can be complicated. Abusers often find ways to make the victim feel crazy or guilty, known as gaslighting. The victim may have limited job skills or fear for the safety of children, pets, or friends. Abusers usually make sure victims don’t have access to money or a vehicle or force them to account for every mile and every penny. Family and church can be a source of support, but that, too, is complicated. An abuser is often

a master manipulator, appearing outside the home to be an upstanding citizen. Sadly, domestic violence statistics are no different in churches and faith groups; an astonishing number of perpetrators are pastors or leaders in their church. Another problem, especially in rural or Biblebelt locales and more traditional settings, is the faulty interpretation of scriptures about the relationships of men and women. Countless women who finally mustered the courage to get help have reported their church was unsupportive or even counseled them to return to the situation and try to be more submissive. If someone suspects a family member or friend is in an abusive situation, resources are available. The Crisis Center can help; call their office at 417-561-5105. The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence has checklists for developing a safety plan and a state-by-state list of resources at https://ncadv.org. Focus Ministries, based in Chicago, offers faith-based support, including training for churches wishing to provide scriptural counsel or start support groups, at https://www.focusministries1.org. Several denominations, including the Springfield-based Assemblies of God, offer resources through their women’s ministries department. An online community, Tahir Alnisa, started by the former wife of an abusive pastor, can be found on Facebook at https://www.facebook. com/tahriralnisa.

Another local support group is in the developmental stages. Collette Seaton founded Delivered Housewives after a 17-year abusive marriage, during which she served as a church worship leader and was involved in PTA and community activities, trying to have a normal family life. Collette’s concern is that women often lack opportunities for mutual support and encouragement. Her goal is to provide community not just for women in or fleeing bad relationships but also those simply needing fellowship. Contact information is on the Delivered Housewives’ Facebook page, https://www.facebook. com/777ministrieslasvegas. Emergency shelter remains a huge need not only in Taney County but across Missouri and nationwide. According to Crisis Center of Taney County director Becky Vermeire, for every woman seeking shelter in Missouri, two must be turned away for lack of space. Volunteers are also needed to provide childcare or transportation for job training or to medical and legal appointments or just be a listening ear. Donations are always welcomed for emergency shelter needs. Contact the Crisis Center or any of the organizations mentioned for more ideas on how to help confront this issue in your church or community.

Branson Titanic Museum creates Breast Cancer Awareness on ship’s bow Submitted to Branson Globe A pink facemask will cover the Titanic Museum’s bow throughout October 2020. This marks the sixth year the museum at 3235 West 76 Country Boulevard, has cleared the decks for the month-long Breast Cancer Awareness crusade. The ship has worn a pink ribbon the past several years. During October, pink masks are available in the Titanic’s gift shop. A portion of the proceeds for each mask sold will go to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. “These pink symbols are signs of the difficult times we’re experiencing today. They’re reminders to us all that the search for a cancer cure and a COVID-19 vaccine are ongoing and need our support,” said Mary Kellogg, president, CCO and co-owner. “We know that 46 passengers who survived the Titanic later died of cancer, seven of them from breast cancer. Their names, their stories and their legacies are the very foundation of our museums. They will always be

honored and remembered here.” Titanic Museum attraction tells the stories of the 2,208 passengers on board, in extraordinary ways. There are more than 20 unique galleries displaying more than 400 artifacts; amazing photos; special exhibitions and interactive galleries; re-creations of lifeboats and cabins. Each gallery is distinctive, starting with the clank and clamor of the shipyard where the Titanic was built at Harland & Wolff’s Queen’s Island North Shipyard in Belfast. Aboard the Titanic Museum is the re-creation of the first-class cabin occupied by John Jacob Astor IV and his wife, Mary. It is luxurious with elegant carpeting, a chaise, and a writing desk— a stark contrast to the third-class cabin. One of the Titanic’s 705 survivors was Lucy, Lady Duff-Gordon. Known by the professional name of Lucile, she was the most famous dress designer of the time. European royalty, high society, and stage and screen stars were her clientele. SEE TITANIC, PAGE 7

Social studies in school includes so very much that it is virtually impossible for a student to obtain all that is needed to become a good citizen through studies taught there alone. Parents must step up and help children form attitudes, gain knowledge, and put into practice those things that make up a person who fits well into our society. At best, teachers can only skim the surface of important knowledge that children need. Social studies include the study of history, government, citizenship, geography, economics, and political science. Schools generally have separate courses to cover each topic, but actually all of the topics necessarily overlap. Parents can help teach good citizenship by first setting an example of being a good citizen. They need to obey laws and point out to children what the laws are. Many young people do not know until too late that certain things are against the law. In addition, they often wonder why the laws are, in their sight, so unnecessary. Reasons for laws should be pointed out to children at a very young age. I am amazed at how many of my GED students did not know the branches of government or the responsibilities of each branch. The system of checks and balances is so very important, yet many young people think that our president makes all of the decisions. A 30 minute session with a child can

teach these important facts that help enable a child to understand the workings of our government. When families go on vacation, children can trace the trip on maps. When they write letters to relatives or friends, they can locate where the letter is going on a map. When news items are discussed about foreign lands, a globe or world map should be available in the home for the children to locate those countries. These things all help a child with geography. A thrifty family automatically teaches economics. When a child is taught to wait to purchase an item when it is not a fad, that child is learning the principle of supply and demand. When an older child is given a clothing allowance and made responsible for budgeting and purchasing his/her own clothing, that child is learning economics. Many children have a negative

attitude toward politics and it is suspect that they have picked up this attitude at home. Adults need to be very careful about their comments concerning elected officials when children are present. It is really impossible to teach a child to respect authority, government, and love for our country when all they hear is negative comments about it. Parents need to tell stories from history of sacrifice of many who have worked and fought for our country, so their sons and daughters will develop an appreciation for where we live. There are many in our society now who would do away with our constitution. Children need to be taught at home about how our constitution came about and how successfully it has worked in the past. Children should watch some news and documentaries on TV, but parents need to be very selec-

tive in what they have their children watch. Older children need to watch or listen to news at least one time each day and discuss with adults what they hear. Most would agree that there is much on the news that younger children should not be allowed to view. That said, it is, in a way, fortunate that the news is repeated so many times each day. This allows parents to watch it first and then select the portions they think would be good for the children to see. Leaving the teaching of social studies entirely to the schools is a bad idea. Just as journalists pick and choose what they report according to their opinions, so teachers cannot help but emphasize what they believe and deemphasize what they do not believe. Parents need to take charge of the learning of their young children and teach children to think for themselves.

Missouri sees staggering reversal of kids with health coverage By Mary Schuermann Kuhlman/Mike Moen, Courtesy of Public News Service JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -During a time when the economy was notably strong, Missouri saw a significant increase in the number of children without health coverage.

An annual report released today by the Georgetown University Center for Children and Families reveals, in 2019 roughly 95,000 kids in Missouri were uninsured, a nearly 34% increase from 2016. Lindsey Baker, research director

for the Missouri Budget Project, said the trend has long-term consequences, both for children and communities across the state. “Without health coverage, children can’t access the care that they need to grow and thrive,” Baker

said.” And there are long-term implications, both for health directly but also for economic success as those children grow older.” Missouri’s rate of uninsured kids mirrors the national rate and reverses a long-standing positive trend. And Baker noted the number of uninsured children is likely to continue to increase, as the data was collected before the pandemic. Joan Alker, executive director of the Georgetown Center for Children and Families, said the jump in

uninsured rates could be linked to efforts by the Trump administration to dismantle the Affordable Care Act. She explained, without funding for outreach and ‘navigators’ to assist with enrollment, some parents don’t even try to sign up. “Families have been getting negative messages that coverage is going away,” Alker said, “at the same time that community-based

Barrett to face senators on health care, legal precedent WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett will face senators’ questions over her approach to health care, legal precedent and even the presidential election during a second day of confirmation hearings on track to lock in a conservative court majority for years to come. The mood is likely to shift to a more confrontational tone as Barrett, an appellate court judge with

very little trial court experience, is grilled in 30-minute segments Tuesday by Democrats gravely opposed to President Donald Trump’s nominee, yet virtually powerless to stop her rise. Republicans are rushing her to confirmation before Election Day. “This should not be President Trump’s judge,” said Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., a member of the Senate Judiciary Commit-

tee. Democrats say the winner of the presidential election should choose the nominee. “This should be your judge,” she said. Barrett presented her approach to the law as conservative and fair on Monday at the start of fasttracked confirmation hearings. Democrats cast her as a threat to Americans’ health care coverage during the coronavirus pandemic.

With her husband and six of their seven children behind her in a hearing room off-limits to the public and altered for COVID-19 risks, Barrett delivered views at odds with the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the liberal icon whose seat Trump nominated her to fill, laying out a judicial philosophy she has likened to that of her conSEE BARRETT, PAGE 10

employer-sponsored insurance because of unemployment tied to the pandemic,” Baker said. “And so, while ensuring that kids are covered is always important, it’s critically important right now, during a pandemic.” In 2019, Missouri’s rate of uninsured children was 6.5%, which is higher than the national average of 5.7%.

servative mentor, the late Justice Antonin Scalia. “Courts are not designed to solve every problem or right every wrong in our public life,” declared the 48-year-old federal appeals court judge, removing the protec-

tive mask she wore most of the day to read from a prepared statement. Americans “deserve an independent Supreme Court that interprets our Constitution and laws as they are written,” Barrett told the committee. The Senate, led by Trump’s Republican allies, is pushing Barrett’s nomination to a quick vote

before Nov. 3, and ahead of the the latest challenge to the Affordable Care Act, which the Supreme Court is to hear a week after the election. Republicans also hope to seat Barrett quickly enough to hear any legal challenges after the election. Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut was among several Democrats demanding that Barrett pledge not to take part in any election case. She has made no such commitment. Ginsburg’s legacy was felt throughout the hearing, with some Democrats wearing lapel pins with her likeness. Barrett also praised the liberal icon, saying she was “forever grateful” for Ginsburg’s trailblazing path as a woman on the court. Yet Sen. Kamala Harris of California, Democratic presidential

nominee Joe Biden’s running mate, warned that Barrett’s nomination puts in jeopardy everything Ginsburg fought to protect. Testifying from her office because of the pandemic, Harris said that the court is “often the last refuge for equal justice” and that not only health care but voting rights, workers’ rights, abortion rights and the very idea of justice are at stake. Barring a dramatic development, Republicans appear to have the votes to confirm Barrett to a lifetime seat on the Supreme Court, and they spent their time portraying her as a thoughtful judge with impeccable credentials. She would be Trump’s third justice. “She is a slam dunk” based on her qualifications, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., the committee

bransonglobe.com chairman, told reporters late in the day. Barrett received the highest rating — “well-qualified” — from the American Bar Association, though she is the first nominee since Clarence Thomas who did not receive a unanimous assessment. Underscoring the Republicans’ confidence, Graham set an initial committee vote on the nomination for Thursday, even before the last day of hearings wrapped, which would allow final approval by the panel for one week later and a vote for confirmation by the full Senate on Oct. 26. One after another, Democrats sought Monday to tie her nomination to the upcoming Obama-era health care case. SEE BARRETT, PAGE 11

Republicans lambasted Democrats for attacking Barrett’s Catholic religion, although none actually did. Some senators took part remotely, after two committee Republicans, Mike Lee of Utah and Thom Tillis of North Carolina, tested positive for the novel coronavirus 10 days ago. Lee was present in the hearing room, bearing a doctor’s note saying he didn’t need to remain isolated. Tillis took part remotely, but his spokesman said he also was free of symptoms. Protesters rallied outside the Senate buildings with the hearing room largely closed to the public. The start of the four-day hearings followed a White House event announcing her nomination just over two weeks ago, in which most of the audience did not wear masks.

HALF MOON BAY, Calif. (AP) — Being cooped up at home due to the pandemic paid handsomely for a Minnesota horticulture teacher who used the extra time to constantly water and feed a massive pumpkin that won this year’s Half Moon Bay

Gienger, 40, then drove his gargantuan gourd for 35 hours to see his hard work pay off at the 47th World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off in Half Moon Bay, south of San Francisco, where his winner came in at 2,350 pounds (1,066 kilograms).

Pumpkin weighing 2,350 pounds wins California contest pumpkin contest. Travis Gienger, of Anoka, Minnesota, spent a lot of his free time in the pumpkin patch in his backyard, watering his plants up to 10 times a day and feeding and fertilizing them at least twice each day.

“It was nerve-wracking because with every bump on the road I kept thinking, ‘is it going to make it?’”

And then finally it got weighed, it was the last one, and oh, my gosh, it’s been incredible!” Gienger said.

Stone County residents assist plane crash victims Courtesy Scott McCaulley, hometowndailynews.com Residents that live near where a plane went down in Stone County on Saturday afternoon helped those on board get off the plane after it caught fire on impact. People that live at the Sleepy Hollow Condos located near the Kimberling Airways’ facility told Ozarks First that they were having a workday when they heard the plane coming in low and saw it go down in a nearby wooded area and

catch fire. The people working were able to get a hose and spray water on the plane and help get the two people out before fire overtook the plane. The Stone County Fire Protection District responded to the scene to finish fighting the fire and reported on their Facebook Page that two passengers on the plane were taken by Lifeline Flight to Mercy Hospital in Springfield for treatment of burns.

By Marilyn Marchione and Matthew Perrone WASHINGTON (AP) — They’re not cures and it’s not likely that everyone will be able to get them as President Donald Trump has suggested. But experimental antibody drugs like the one Trump was given are among the most promising therapies being tested for treating and preventing coronavirus infections. Eli Lilly and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. are asking the U.S. government to allow emergency use of their antibody drugs, which aim to help the immune system clear the virus. The medicines are still in testing; their safety and effectiveness are not yet known. Trump is among fewer than 10 people who were able to access the Regeneron one under “compassionate use” rules, without enrolling in a study. Q: How do they work? A: Antibodies are proteins the body makes when an infection occurs; they attach to a virus and help it be eliminated. Vaccines mimic an infection to spur antibody pro-

the Singapore biotech company Tychan Pte Ltd. also have studies underway. Q: Who would get them? A: Researchers are still trying to determine the best candidates for antibody treatment. Some studies involve newly infected people to

Antibody drugs are no cure but seem promising for COVID-19 duction. But it can take several weeks after a vaccine or natural infection for the most effective antibodies to form. The experimental drugs are concentrated versions of specific antibodies that worked best against the coronavirus in lab and animal tests. In theory, they start helping right away. The onetime treatment is given through an IV — it’s not like a pill that people can take at home. Q: How do the drugs differ? A: Regeneron is using two antibodies to enhance chances its therapy will work even if the virus evades one. The company made a successful Ebola combo antibody treatment this way. Lilly is testing two different antibodies -- one with the Canadian company AbCellera and another with a Chinese company, Junshi Biosciences — individually and in combination. Others testing similar drugs are GlaxoSmithKline and Vir Biotechnology Inc., which says it has engineered antibodies to last longer than they usually do. Amgen, Adaptive Biotechnologies and

see if early treatment can lower the risk of becoming sick. Other studies in hospitalized patients aim to prevent serious illness, complications or death. Researchers also are testing these drugs to try to prevent infection in people at high risk of it, such as health workers, house-

mates of people with COVID-19, and nursing home workers and residents. Q: Will there be enough for everyone? A: It depends on how potent SEE ANTIBODY, PAGE 16

Hispanic Heritage Month at Hollister Schools Submitted to Branson Globe Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, by celebrating the histories, cultures, contributions, and influence of Hispanic Americans to the history, cul-

ture, and achievements of the United States. With the Hispanic student population in the Hollister R-V School District having grown to nearly 10% of the district’s students, Hollister’s ESL (English as a Second Language)

Coordinator, Marta Nangle, feels it is important to observe Hispanic Heritage Month and to educate all students about the contributions and influences of Hispanic Americans. Last week, Mrs. Nangle visited Hollister ECC and spent time in Mrs.

Ortega’s kindergarten classroom, reading to students and teaching them about Hispanic culture. She used the book, “I’m New Here” to help students understand that though we may speak differently, look different, and do things differently, we are all still the same on the inside. She shared with them about children in Panama learning to how to sew molas (a handmade textile that forms part of the traditional outfit of a Kuna woman) and had students color their own mola. Mrs. Nangle is planning lessons in other buildings on Hollister’s campus as well, including how to do papel picado (a traditional cut paper folk art found throughout Mexico and the former colonies of Spain).

the drugs prove to be, something still being studied. If a high dose is needed to be effective, it will mean that fewer people can be treated with limited supplies. Regeneron says it has enough doses for approximately 50,000 patients and expects 300,000 available within the next few months. Under a $450 million contract, the federal government has agreed to buy initial supplies of Regeneron’s drug and distribute them at no cost to U.S. patients. Lilly says it expects to have 1 million doses this year of the single antibody that it submitted to FDA. However, the company’s research has focused on a combination of two antibodies to treat COVID-19 patients. Lilly said it expects to have just 50,000 doses of that combo this year. Full Coverage: Virus Outbreak Q: What’s the evidence that they work? A: Lilly and Regeneron have revealed only partial results in news releases; they haven’t been published or vetted by independent scientists. Lilly said Wednesday that its two-antibody combo reduced symptoms, the amount of virus, hospitalizations and ER vis-

its for patients with mild or moderate COVID-19. The results are an interim look at a mid-stage study in which 112 people received the antibodies and 156 got a placebo. The amount of virus was significantly lower 11 days later in those given the drug -- the main goal of the study. About 5.8% of patients given placebo required hospitalization or an emergency room visit versus 0.9% of those given the antibodies. Previously, Regeneron said its drug reduced the amount of virus and symptoms in non-hospitalized patients. The partial results came from the first 275 patients enrolled in ongoing studies. Q: When might they be available? A: Eli Lilly and Regeneron have asked the Food and Drug Administration for emergency authorization. During public health emergencies the FDA can speed drugs to market based on a lower standard of evidence than is normally required. Drugmakers need only show that the expected benefits of their therapies outweigh the risks for treating COVID-19. There is no deadline for the FDA to rule on the drugs, but it typically makes decisions on such emergency applications within days or weeks.

Missouri Dept. of Conservation: Hiking is great for health and happiness

By Peg Craft, Missouri Dept. of Conservation A walk around the block has its benefits, but if you really want to ramp up your health and happiness, try hiking. From out your door down to your core, research shows multiple benefits for mind and body. With cooling temps and changing colors, fall is a great time to hit the trails. Besides enjoying nature’s surround sounds, fresh scents, and colors, you can boost your brain power and creative thinking. Whether trail running or walking, the physical benefits of hiking are wide-ranging. The uneven terrain

of paths that wind up, down, and sideways, work a variety muscle groups and help with overall balance--boosting the energy you use by 28 percent compared to walking on flat surfaces (Time Magazine). Hikers report benefits like weight loss, stress relief, better sleep, and more positive thoughts. New hikers can start out slow and build up with a variety of trails and scenery from short walks to more moderate hikes. For safety and company, you can take a buddy or join a hiking club. Be prepared and stay hydrated to enjoy healthy and happy trails. Care should be taken on variable terrain to avoid inju-

Joe Morgan, driving force of Big Red Machine, dies at 77 CINCINNATI (AP) — Joe Morgan, the Hall of Fame second baseman who became the sparkplug of the Big Red Machine and the prototype for baseball’s artificial turf era, has died. He was 77. He died at his home Sunday in Danville, California, family spokesman James Davis said in statement Monday. Morgan was suffering from a nerve condition, a form of polyneuropathy. Morgan’s death marked the latest among major league greats this year: Whitey Ford, Bob Gibson, Lou Brock, Tom Seaver and Al Kaline. Morgan was a two-time NL Most Valuable Player, a 10time All-Star and won five Gold Gloves. A 5-foot-7 dynamo known for flapping his left elbow at the plate, Little Joe could hit a home run, steal a base and disrupt any game with his daring.

Reds’ second baseman Joe Morgan (AP Photo/Al Behrman)

Most of all, he completed Cincinnati’s two-time World Series championship team, driving a club featuring the likes of Pete Rose, Johnny Bench and Tony Perez to back-to-back titles. Morgan’s tiebreaking single with two outs in the ninth inning of Game 7 in 1975 gave the Reds the crown in a classic matchup with Boston, and he spurred a four-game sweep of the Yankees the next season.

Morgan was the league’s MVP both years. And his Hall of Fame teammates and manager readily acknowledged he was the one that got it all started. The smallest cog in the Big Red Machine was its most valuable piece, and easily a first-ballot pick for Cooperstown. “He was just a good major league player when it didn’t mean anything,” former Reds and Tigers skipper Sparky Anderson once said. “But when it meant something, he was a Hall of Famer.” In a 22-year career through 1984, Morgan scored 1,650 runs, stole 689 bases, hit 268 homers and batted .271. But those stats hardly reflected the force created on the field by the lefty-swinging No. 8. Confident and cocky, he also was copied. His habit of flapping his back elbow as a way to keep it high when hitting was imitated by many a Little

Leaguer in Cincinnati and beyond. “Joe wasn’t just the best second baseman in baseball history,” Bench said. “He was the best player I ever saw and one of the best people I’ve ever known.” Health issues had slowed down

Morgan in recent years. Knee surgery forced him to use a cane when he went onto the field at Great American Ball Park before the 2015 All-Star Game and he later needed a bone marrow transplant for an illness.

Missouri blames database error on website for COVID-19 spike

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A “database extract error” resulted in an incorrect inflation of the number of reported COVID-19 cases in Missouri going back over several days, Missouri health officials said Sunday. The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services said in a news release that it

is in the process of migrating all COVID-19 testing and case data into one new consolidated system. The state launched a new version of its coronavirus dashboard on Sept. 28 to integrate pandemic response across public health, economic, employment and social impact indicators.

Missouri incorrectly reported Saturday on its coronavirus website more than 5,000 new COVID-19 cases, more than double the previous single-day record. The agency said Sunday it is working urgently to resolve the issue and will update its website with the correct numbers once that is done. It said the problems

with the data were limited to cumulative reporting on its Show Me Strong Covid-19 Public Health Dashboard. The revised coronavirus numbers for Missouri are pending. “When this issue was initially raised Saturday morning, the dashboard team began working through the data to identify

the problem and are working through the weekend to correct the underlying issue,” said Dr. Randall Williams, the agency’s director. “Missourians should feel confident that we appreciate their feedback and continue to adapt our processes to ensure effective and accountable reporting to our citizens.”

Former Missouri youth pastor charged with child sex abuse SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — A former youth pastor was charged with seven felonies following accusations he sexually abused a child in Missouri. Jeff Taylor, 46, of Strafford, Missouri, was charged Thursday with five counts of statutory sodomy and two counts of statutory rape, the Springfield News-Leader reported. Taylor is accused of sexually abusing a child for several years beginning when the victim was younger than 14. He was booked into the Green County jail Wednesday, a day after the

victim reported it to law enforcement. Taylor allegedly told the Greene County Sheriff’s deputies that he engaged in sexual activity with the victim and said his actions were “based in love,” according to a court document. Taylor worked at the First Baptist Church in Strafford until a few days, court documents say. If convicted, he faces a possible life sentence. Online court records do not list an attorney for Taylor.

Fish will fly in re-scheduled Gulf Coast event

ORANGE BEACH, Ala. (AP) — Once canceled amid coronavirus concerns, the annual Mullet Toss is back on again at a popular roadhouse at the Florida-Alabama state line. In the annual event at the Flora-Bama Lounge, contestants throw dead fish from a point in Florida across the state line, vying for distance records. AL.com reports that the April event was postponed this year due to the spread of COVID-19. Now, it’s set for Oct. 23-25. Co-owner Cameron Price says the organizers are taking advantage of the loosening of Florida coronavirus restrictions. Price adds that it’s an outdoor event in breezy conditions. Price says free masks will be available but masks won’t be mandatory. “We are not mandating that anybody wear masks out there,” he said. “If you want to come here and wear a mask, you’re welcome to come here and wear a mask. Nobody’s going to look at you funny.” The announcement of the rescheduled Mullet Toss comes during a tumultuous year for the venue. In March, Flora-Bama owners shut down the bar and several related businesses — even before it was mandated by Florida. In the ensuing months, it operated at times as a bar, at times as a restaurant, depending on state regulations. Hurricane Sally in also caused a brief shutdown but caused only minor damage.

Driverless boat spins out of control, smashing docks

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) — Three men conducting a photo shoot on a boat in a busy Florida river somehow went overboard, leaving the 24-foot

vessel unmanned and out of control. The three men told deputies that they accidentally fell into the St. Lucie River along Florida’s Atlantic coast on Saturday, leaving the boat unmanned. It circled around the men numerous times, forcing them to dive underwater so it wouldn’t run them over. The boat then straightened out, hit a concrete dock, went airborne and hit a second dock before coming to a stop, the Martin County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post. The men were able to swim to a nearby sailboat. One had a minor injury, the sheriff’s office said. An investigation into the cause has been turned over to

the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

Large Chinese mitten crab crawls into German woman’s home

BERLIN (AP) — Police in southern Germany say a woman got a shock while airing out her home when a 25-centimeter (10-inch) Chinese mitten crab scurried in from the terrace through the open door. Freiburg police said Thursday that they received a call reporting the unwanted home invader in the nearby town of Unterlauchringen, near the Swiss border, the previous morning. Before they arrived, police say, the woman captured the crustacean by putting an up-

Oct. 14 - 15, 2020 • 21

side-down garbage can on top of it. Officers were able to put the crab into a container and then take it to a local veterinary clinic. The invasive species, native to Asia, is now found in many rivers in Germany, and the woman’s residence was not

far from the Rhine, though the Chinese mitten crab has never been reported in the area before. They’re not considered dangerous.

Is it fall? Is it summer? Nobody knows for sure By Daryl Weather, Weather Forecaster If you are wondering if it’s fall or summer, don’t feel bad! A lot of us are wondering that same

thing. After a week of temps in the 80s we can expect this to stick around for the weekend as well. Looks like we will get a break on Tuesday when highs are only

going to be in the mid 70s. Rain chances are still slim as Hurricane Delta looks to not want to share much of that precipitation with us. I will still keep an eye on Del-

ta and update any changes that may assist us with rain chances. You can keep up with those updates on our Facebook page, Branson Globe and Branson News & Weather.
