Mike Parson on Monday signed a number of bills into law, including legislation to ensure free COVID-19 testing and a requirement that hospitals perform rape kits when needed. Here’s a glance at what Parson approved: ALLERGY MEDICINE Local governments soon will no longer be able to require prescriptions for allergy medications including pseudoephedrine and ephedrine. Local officials currently can put limits on the sale of the decongestant, which can be used to make methamphetamine. Those local rules will be void when the state law takes effect Aug. 28. Lawmakers wanted to ease regulations now it’s less common to make meth in Missouri. CORONAVIRUS TESTING A new law ensures that order to do business with Missouri. It doesn’t apply to contracts worth less than $100,000 or companies with fewer than 10 employees. The law is in response to a Palestinian-led boycott movement against Israel. The BDS movement promotes boycotts, divestment and sanctions of Israeli institutions and businesses in what it says is a nonviolent campaign against Israeli abuses against Palestinians.

Currently, few nurses are certified to perform rape kits. Advocates say that means sexual assault victims sometimes must drive hours away to get a kit.

That is not to say that children should not be entertained and have fun while learning. Of course, most children like fun, but the real objective should be the teaching of values and information with the fun part as a by-product or side issue. There are times in life when we have to do things that are not fun and children need to learn that principle. Our present-day society provides so much entertainment for children that often we feel that we must comLETTERS Dear Editor, As President of Cox Medical Center Branson, I’m contacting you to share evidence on the importance of masking with the paper and the public. While there is no science to indicate when it’s too early to mask, our experts say science can tell us when it’s too late. We’re getting close to the point when it’s time to act. At CoxHealth, we experienced Pat Lamb. (FILE) pete in order to keep the attention of a child. This leads to shallowness when dealing with serious topics. It is difficult to hold attention of children very long, so we find ourselves dancing, shouting, or doing whatever it takes to keep their attention. Some of this is fine, but there are times when a child needs to simply learn to sit still and listen. We sometimes tend to glide over some things simply to get through the lesson. There was a time, when I taught kindergarten, that parents brought children to me and said, “You have a 43% growth in total positive lab results last week and an overall increase of 10% positive rates when comparing July cases with June cases. The increased hospital testing, rapidly growing number of virus cases in Stone and Taney counties, strained regional hospitals, and an increase of people being tested at our Mobile Testing Unit (MTU) from 4/day at the beginning of July to 30/day as of last my permission to spank him!” Can you see that happening now? Teachers walk a thin line trying to get children to learn without upsetting them. Children are aware of the fact that teachers are not allowed to spank and many take advantage of this fact. In many cases, if students thought they could be spanked, the spanking would not be necessary. As teachers walk this thin line, they know they cannot demand children perform past a certain point or the child and the parents will get upset. This forces the teacher to let the child get by with things that prevent the depth of learning they need. In church situations, teachers and leaders have to deal with the fact that a child may not return to church if made to behave appropriately. Many parents do not require their children to attend church and leave it up to the child to decide. This fact forces church workers to have to be very careful not to upset a child by providing discipline for proper behavior. At the same time, we have to week, are signs for action. Our positive results are increasing because the disease is beginning to grow rapidly in prevalence, not because we are increasing the number of people we are testing. This is leading us to great concerns for our communities’ health and future. Bottom line, the virus is rapidly growing in our area.

When we fail to do that, we are actually teaching a child by default that it is alright to misbehave. Children now have colorful books that talk or even smell when you scratch them. Some books have fold-outs with hidden things beneath. Much of this is great. It would be even better if values for living were incorporated in the text, but often they are flat when it comes to a story plot. Since teachers and leaders of children are so restricted, we really need to choose the materials carefully that contain “meat” for children. Those working with children need to choose movies, games, and activities that do not only fill up time, but actually teach what children need to know. They also need to require behavior acceptable to Christ, but it must be required in a loving way.

bransonglobe.com OPINION • LETTERS Continued from page 6 trol and Prevention (CDC) is on the ground. While CoxHealth has physical capacity at this point, and plenty of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), we have limitations on important medications such as Remdesivir. The distribution of this drug is controlled by the state government due to its scarcity; we have enough for ten patients at this point. We also have limited access to convalescent plasma. Many of our most acute patients need treatment by both therapies to have a chance at a positive outcome. Myths are circulating that wearing a mask can make you pass out, or that if you can hold your breath for 10 seconds, you do not have the virus. Neither of these are true. There is no compelling evidence that masking causes harm, yet there is compelling evidence that masking can slow the transmission rate (look at the Springfield Great Clips episode). That’s why we believe the next logical step to combat COVID-19 is to put a city masking ordinance in place as soon as possible. It has become clear in city after city that once this disease gains momentum, the time to mitigate has most often already passed – and occurs after hospitals become overwhelmed. We ask that everyone help us disrupt the spread of this disease and protect each other through the simple act of masking. Hopefully, this will buy us time for the advancement of more therapies and even a vaccine to protect our communities. Sincerely, William K.

The meeting will be available for two weeks from Monday, July 13, until Monday, July 27, and can be accessed here: Long Creek Bridge Replacement Project. To keep the community informed and to continue gathering feedback, the online meeting will allow attendees to view the bridge plans and other project-related documents. Attendees are encouraged to email comments or questions via the online meeting. For those unable to access the online meeting, they are encouraged to contact MoDOT’s Southwest District Office at 417.895.7600 and accommodations will be made to share the information and gather feedback. Following an in-person meeting in February 2019, MoDOT made the decision to locate the new bridge south of the existing bridge. Route 86 will remain open for much of the expected two year-long construction of the new structure. It will be necessary to close Route 86 for short periods to connect the new bridge to the existing roadway toward the end of the project. The Long Creek bridge project’s estimated total cost is $36 million. Construction of the new bridge could start as early as 2022 and last until 2024. The existing Long Creek Bridge over Table Rock Lake will be replaced by a new structure that could be completed by 2024. (Submitted to Branson Globe)
bransonglobe.com LOCAL Special to Branson Globe SPRINGFIELD — The last time Dr. John Schmalzbauer participated in a study of campus ministries was from 2004-2008, when he worked on a project directed by Dr. Betty DeBerg at the University of Northern Iowa. At that time, the Great Recession had not taken full effect, undergraduate students didn’t have access to widespread social media and religious “nones” didn’t outnumber evangelicals. But in the past 12 years, that has all changed. Now, Schmalzbauer, a professor of religious studies at Missouri State University, is leading a study of the new landscape. “Students are often detached from organized religious life,” he said. “Even the religious identities of students who are plugged into a ministry and tradition are changing.” help from a team of co-researchers and a three-year grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. awarded to the Missouri State Foundation, Schmalzbauer plans to dive deep into campus ministries until fall 2022. The grant of more than $981,000 supports extensive methods to build on the ‘04-‘08 National Study of Campus Ministries (NSCM). These methods include interviews with religious leaders, chaplains and students, and extended campus visits in different regions of the United States. New findings will add context to the NSCM. “One of our focuses is widening the diversity of the new study,” Schmalzbauer said. “Not just racial and ethnic diversity, but the inclusion of new religious groups.” The full team includes Dr. Catherine Hoegeman from Missouri State; Dr. Kathleen Garces-Foley at Marymount University; Dr. Rebecca Kim at Pepperdine University; Dr. David Sikkink at the University of Notre Dame; and incoming MSU religious studies graduate student Cody Yanez. The grant’s project manager is J. Dane Wallace from Missouri State. With uncertainty surrounding the coming months, Schmalzbauer and his team adapted their plan for the fall 2020 semester. They will perform interviews online, review digitized student newspapers and watch worship services and content available on YouTube. However, Schmalzbauer is optimistic for the outlook of the long-term study. “COVID-19 may change the timing of some of the fieldwork Religious studies professor receives grant to study new era for campus ministry.

10 • July 15 - 16, 2020 STATE bransonglobe.com State receives loaned executive from NGA Courtesy of Missouri Dept. of Economic Development An employee of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) in St. Louis has been assigned to work in state government through a federal program that allows senior executives to work on short term assignments outside the intelligence agency. The state assignment is part of a growing relationship between NGA, the state, and St. Louis area leaders that is focused on making St. Louis a global geospatial hub over the next decade. The NGA employee, Jason Long, will work through the end of the year in the Missouri Office of Administration (OA) to help state government better understand how geospatial intelligence systems (GIS) can be used for analysis, reporting, and state policy formation. The assignment of senior executives from defense agencies like the NGA to other federal agencies is a common practice that allows executives to gain experience. However, Mr. Long’s assignment will be the first between NGA and a state government. Mr. Long will continue to be a federal employee while on assignment to the state, but will work under the supervision of OA. During the assignment, the loaned executive will be working exclusively on state matters. Mr. Long began his career in aviation as an airline pilot and has since spent a decade at NGA building airfield models, justifying and defending classified program budgets, leading NGA’s 24/7 operations center, and managing logistics for NGA on site in Bagram, Afghanistan. NGA is a combat support agency of the US Department of Defense, with its headquarters in Springfield, Virginia and its major support operation in St. Louis. The agency’s primary mission is collecting, analyzing, and distributing geospatial intelligence in support of national security. The construction of a new $1.7 billion dollar campus in the City of St. Louis was announced in November of 2019 to replace its current antiquated facility. The new facility is anticipated to bring over 1,000 new jobs to the area once completed. Missouri’s Korean War Veterans Memorial Bill signed into law JEFFERSON CITY — A bill honoring Missouri veterans was signed into law by the governor on July 14. Sponsored by State Sen. Mike Cierpiot, R–Lee’s Summit, Senate Bill 656 designates the Missouri Korean War Veterans Memorial in Kansas City as Missouri’s official Korean War veterans memorial. The memorial, located in Washington Square Park, pays tribute to the 900 Missourians who gave their lives during the war, including more than 100 from the Kansas City region. Senator Cierpiot is proud to see SB 656 signed into law and hopes it will encourage people to learn more about the Korean War and the sacrifices of those who served in it. “No war is fought without sacrifices, and I believe we should take the time to honor and remember those who served,” said Sen. Cierpiot. “It is truly unfortunate that the Korean War is so often referred to as ‘the Forgotten War,’ because these brave individuals who gave their lives should never be forgotten. Hopefully, Senate Bill 656 can help change that and honor the courage and sacrifice of these fallen Missourians.”

Missouri has 110,000 miles of streams where you can fish, float, and explore. The two biggest rivers in the country, the Missouri and Mississippi, flow through the Show Me state and come together just above St. Louis. Streams flow through prairies in the north and Ozark bluffs in the south. You can float by forests, caves and springs and see anything from crayfish to hawks and herons along the way. There’s no better way to beat the heat of summer then by getting out on the water with family and friends. Always practice safety when enjoying Missouri’s many waters this summer. St. Louis native, Scott Nienhaus grew up on the water. When he moved to Nashville for his music career, he ended up living by the water without a boat. He wrote the song, On the Water, in response to what he missed about being out there. He and Terry Jones Rogers, play this song often in St. Louis with their popular duo, Rogers and Nienhaus. They shared it with MDC a few years ago, for a music video highlighting our many waterways in Missouri. They brought along several of their Missouri-rooted musician friends to play the song live in eight outdoor locations. They were joined by Supe Granda from the Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Rusty Young of Poco, R. Scott Bryan, Javier Mendoza, Tim Politte, Sandy Weltman, Missouri Mile, Madison Thorn, and Ingrid Berry, daughter of music legend, Chuck Berry.

bransonglobe.com STATE Courtesy of University Communications Office SPRINGFIELD – Although 2020 will historically be remembered as a challenging year, the Missouri State University Foundation will record it in the win column. During Fiscal Year 2020 (July 1, 2019–June 30, 2020), alumni and friends of the university donated a record-breaking $22,663,988 in gifts. “Now more than ever, the university needs this support to help our students succeed,” said Brent Dunn, executive director of the Missouri State University Foundation. “This money creates student scholarships, helps renovate and build facilities, and supports faculty endeavors at Missouri State.” The fundraising efforts are part of the Onward Upward Campaign, which set a goal of raising $250 million for the university. The campaign kicked off in October 2019. This record-breaking year included: • An eight-figure gift from the C.W. Titus Foundation to support scholarships, fund an art park and to name the college the Judith Enyeart Reynolds College of Arts and Letters. • Gifts toward emergency scholarships to help students and families with unexpected financial burdens due to COVID-19. • A gift from the Darr Family Foundation to establish an agriculture magnet school and a small animal education facility. • Gifts from the Hale estate to create scholarships for agriculture students from Barton and Vernon counties. “The entire Missouri State community is better for the support of these generous individuals, foundations and organizations,” said President Clif Smart. “In these tough times, I am especially gratified to see the giving spirit. It lighten the load for students who might otherwise be unable to get an education.” For each of the past three years, the foundation raised more than $20 million in financial support. The previous record, $21.5 million, was set in FY18. In addition to the gifts in July 15 - 16, 2020 • 15 MSU Foundation gifts surpass $22 million in record-breaking year FY20, more than $24 million was recorded as deferred gifts during the fiscal year. Since the foundation began in 1981, it has raised more than $368 million.

16 • July 15 - 16, 2020 SPORTS ST. LOUIS (AP) — Hard-throwing St. Louis Cardinals reliever Jordan Hicks has opted out of playing this season, citing pre-existing health concerns. The 23-year-old Hicks was diagnosed in high school as having Type 1 diabetes. Hicks, who routinely tops 100 mph, is recovering from Tommy John surgery on June 26, 2019. The right-hander’s availability for this season was uncertain. Hicks had been taking part in workouts at Busch Stadium, leading up to the Cardinals’ opener on July 24 at home against Pittsburgh. “We respect and understand St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Jordan Hicks throws off the mound during baseball practice at Busch Stadium Friday, July 3, 2020, in St. Louis. (AP Photo/Jeff Roberson) Jordan’s decision to opt out this season,” Cardinals President of Baseball Operations John Mozeliak said. “We wish him well as bransonglobe.com Cardinals reliever Hicks opts out of playing; has diabetes he continues his recovery from elbow surgery, and we look forward to seeing Jordan back on the mound for the 2021 season.” Dodgers pitcher David Price, Giants catcher Buster Posey and Washington infielder Ryan Zimmerman are among about a dozen players who have opted out this year. Hicks was 2-2 with 14 saves and a 3.14 ERA last season before he injured his elbow. He has hit 105 mph with his fastball. Hicks was due $214,370 as a prorated share of his $578,800 salary. He gets paid if the pre-existing health concern has been determined to make him a high-risk individual. Ryan Helsley and Giovanny Gallegos are expected to handle the late innings out of the Cardinals’ bullpen.

18 • July 15 - 16, 2020 SPORTS WASHINGTON (AP) — The Washington NFL franchise announced Monday it is dropping the “Redskins” name and Indian head logo, bowing to recent pressure from sponsors and decades of criticism that they are offensive to Native Americans. A new name must still be selected for one of the oldest and most storied teams in the National Football League, and it’s unclear how soon that will happen. But for now, arguably the most polarizing name in North American professional sports is gone at a time of reckoning over racial injustice, iconography and racism in the U.S. The team said it is “retiring” the name and logo and that owner Dan Snyder and coach Ron Rivera are working closely to develop a new moniker and design. The announcement came on the old letterhead with the Redskins name because the team technically retains it until a new one is approved. “As a kid who grew up in the (D.C. area), it’ll always be #HTTR (fight song ‘Hail to the Redskins’) but looking forward to the future,” starting quarterback Dwayne Haskins tweeted. The “R” in “Hail to the Redskins” could soon be replaced by Redtails, Redwolves or Redhawks. Redtails or Red Tails — an homage to the Tuskegee Airmen from World War II — is the favorite on online sportsbook BetOnline, and the group said it “would be honored and pleased to work with the organization during and after the (name change) process, should this name be adopted.” This will be the NFL’s first name change since the late 1990s when the Tennessee Oilers became the Titans two seasons after moving from Houston. After President Donald Trump last week criticized the Redskins and Major League Baseball’s Cleveland Indians for considering name changes, White House press bransonglobe.com Washington’s NFL team drops ‘Redskins’ name after 87 years secretary Kayleigh McEnany said the president “believes that the Native American community would be very angry at this and he does have polling to back him up.” She cited a 2016 Washington Post poll showing 90% of Native Americans aren’t offended by the name, a survey that has since been discredited by experts. The announcement came less than two weeks after Snyder, a SEE WASHINGTON, PAGE 19
bransonglobe.com SPORTS • WASHINGTON Continued from page 18 boyhood fan of the team who once declared he would never get rid of the name, launched a “thorough review” amid pressure from sponsors. FedEx, Nike, Pepsi and Bank of America all lined up against the name, which was given to the franchise in 1933 when the team was still based in Boston. Native American advocates and experts have long criticized the name they call a “dictionary-defined racial slur.” Over a dozen Native leaders and organizations wrote to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell last week demanding an immediate end to Washington’s use of the name. Goodell, who has fielded questions on the topic for years, said he supported the review. “The NFL and Dan Snyder, we have to commend them on making the right call to change the name,” said Oneida Indian Nation Representative Ray Halbritter, leader of the “Change the Mascot” campaign. “Dan Snyder won today because now he has a legacy that will be different from the racial slur that was the team name. I know that’s not an easy thing to do, but it was the right thing to do.” Protests against the name predate Snyder buying the team in 1999, and, until now, he had shown no willingness to consider a change. Strong words from sponsors — including a company run by a minority stakeholder of the team — changed the equation. FedEx earlier this month became the first sponsor to announce it had asked the organization to change the name, particularly important because CEO Frederick Smith owns part of the team. FedEx paid $205 million for the long-term naming rights to the team’s stadium in Landover, Maryland. The lease at FedEx Field expires in 2027, and dropping the name keeps open various possibilities in Maryland, Virginia and Washington for the team’s new stadium and headquarters. District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser has said the name was an “obstacle” to Snyder building on the old RFK Stadium site, which is believed to be his preference. Bowser said she welcomed the name change but there were still obstacles to overcome before the team’s return from suburban Maryland became a serious possibility. “Yes, we want to change the name and change the location,” she said. “The Washington football team should be playing in Washington.” “Our fight continues,” Crystal Echo Hawk of the Native American advocacy group IllumiNative said in a statement. “We will not rest until the offensive use of Native imagery, logos and names are eradicated from professional, collegiate and (other school) sports. The time is now to stand in solidarity and declare that racism will not be tolerated.” Halbritter said it was important to note those he hopes a “broader discussion” can be had. He pointed out that Florida State spoke with the Seminole tribe about its name, the same thing a minor league baseball team in Spokane, Washington, did with local Native Americans. Re-branding with a new name and logo — and perhaps the same burgundy and gold colors — couJuly 15 - 16, 2020 • 19 pled with turning football operations over to Rivera could be a boon for Snyder on and off the field. Even if a segment of the fan base opposes the change in the name of tradition, winning would more than make up for those losses.

20 • July 15 - 16, 2020 NATIONAL GRAND LEDGE, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan sheriff’s deputy on Tuesday fatally shot a man suspected of stabbing another man who had challenged him about not wearing a mask at a convenience store, police said. The shooting occurred in Eaton County, southwest of Lansing, about 30 minutes after the stabbing at a Quality Dairy store, state police Lt. Brian Oleksyk said. A sheriff’s deputy spotted the man’s vehicle in a residential neighborhood and shot him when he tried to attack her with a knife, Oleksyk said. Sean Ruis, 43, of Grand Ledge, who worked at the Michigan Department of Transportation, died at a hospital. He was suspected of stabbing a 77-year-old man inside the store when he was confronted about not wearing a mask, Oleksyk said. The stabbing victim was in stable bransonglobe.com Man killed by police after mask dispute at Michigan store condition at a hospital. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has ordered people to wear masks in stores to reduce the risk of spreading the coronavirus. The decision about whether to wear a mask in public for some has become a political statement, and there have been other instances of violent encounters over masks. In May, a security guard at a Family Dollar store in Flint was fatally shot after denying entry to a customer without a mask. A Grand Ledge man who stabbed an elderly man outside a Quality Dairy store after being refused service for not wearing a mask was shot and killed by an Eaton County deputy.

bransonglobe.com NATIONAL Critics call out EPA’s inaction on methane leaks By Nadia Ramlagan, Public News Service - AR LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- Environmental groups, along with attorneys general of several states, have filed a motion in federal court to force the Environmental Protection Agency to regulate methane emissions from existing oil and gas wells. The Clean Air Act requires the EPA to regulate methane, but the lawsuit argues the agency isn’t taking action. Senior attorney with the Environmental Defense Fund Rosalie Winn said federal standards for the byproducts of oil and gas drilling are particularly important in states such as Arkansas, which lack regulations to control pollution from these facilities. “Arkansas has over 11,000 older well sites that are currently not regulated by the EPA or the state,” Winn said. “There are roughly 170,000 people who live within a half-mile of these well sites.” Critics say since 2017, the EPA has not taken any steps to reduce methane pollution as required by federal law, and continues to drag its feet on coming up with a timeline to put regulations into place. The agency has said existing rules and state laws already address the problem. Winn said a number of major and independent oil companies are calling on the EPA to regulate methane pollution from existing oil and gas sources. “What’s at issue here is really EPA doing a favor for the worst actors in the industry, those who are unwilling to take even these common sense measures to clean up oil and gas production,” she said. She said nearly 2.8 million people of color and 1.4 million people living below the poverty line live in close proximity to methane-polluting wells. Exposure to methane has been linked to headaches, nausea and other symptoms, but scientists say the effects of long-term exposure are unknown.

22 • July 15 - 16, 2020 CURIOUSITIES Burger King addresses climate change by changing cows’ diets Burger King is staging an intervention with its cows. The chain has rebalanced the diet of some of the cows by adding lemon grass in a bid to limit bovine contributions to climate change. By tweaking their diet, Burger King said Tuesday that it believes it can reduce a cow’s daily methane emissions by about 33%. Cows emit methane as a by-product of their digestion, and that has become a potential public relations hurdle for major burger chains. Greenhouse gas emissions from the agriculture sector made up 9.9% of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2018, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Of that amount, methane emissions from livestock (called enteric fermentation) comprised more than a quarter of the emissions from the agriculture sector. With an over-the-top social media campaig n that teeters between vulgarity and science (sprinkled with more vulgarity), Burger King is banking on the heightened awareness of climate change and its responsibility to limit its own role. According to a recent poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, about two out of three Americans say corporations have a responsibility to combat climate change. The gravitational pull of climate change is increasingly finding its way onto national political stage. Potential customers are also cutting down on the amount of meat they consume, citing both environmental and dietary concerns. Burger King and rival McDonald’s have added meat alternatives to their menus. Two years ago McDonald’s said it was taking steps to cut the greenhouse gases it emits. It tweaked the manner in which the beef in its Big Macs and Quarter Pounders was produced. The company said at the time that it expected the changes to prevent 150 million metric tons (165 million tons) of greenhouse gas emissions from being released into the atmosphere by 2030. Burger King worked with scientists at the Autonomous University at the State of Mexico and at the University of California, Davis to test and develop its formula of adding 100 grams of lemongrass leaves to the cows’ daily diets. Preliminary tests indicate that the lemongrass leaves help the cows release less methane as they digest their food. On Tuesday, Burger King introduced its Reduced Methane Emissions Beef Whopper, made with beef sourced from cows that emit reduced methane, in select restaurants in Miami, New York, Austin, Portland and Los Angeles, while supplies last. Trio of Ohio sisters give birth on same day at same hospital MANSFIELD, Ohio (AP) — Three Ohio sisters have defied odds by giving birth on the same day in the same hospital with the same obstetrician overseeing their deliveries. Daneesha Haynes, Ariel Williams and Ashley Haynes gave birth July 3 at OhioHealth Mansfield Hospital within a fourand-a-half-hour span, the Mansfield News Journal reported. bransonglobe.com A 1998 Associated Press story cited the odds of three sisters giving birth the same day as 1 in 50 million. “It was a blessing,” Daneesha Haynes said. “It’s amazing. This kind of blew everybody away.” All three sisters had their deliveries induced. Daneesha was not due until July 23. Dr. Edroy McMillan delivered all three babies. He declined to be interviewed. Williams was the first to give birth that day, naming her 8 pound, 2 ounce daughter Sincere. Ashley Haynes followed with her 6 pound, 10 ounce son Adrion. Daneesha Haynes completed the trifecta with daughter Emrie, who weighed in at 4 pounds, 14 ounces. The sisters’ mother, Deborah Ware, joked there would be no extra children at the newborns’ future birthday parties. “I don’t know what kind of we’ll party have,” Daneesha Haynes said. “We’ll party for two days straight.” EXP. 7/31/20
