Editor: Thanksgiving is a time for sharing and to be thankful for the blessings God has given us. Yet, many of us are perplexed due to end of year personal and property taxes, holiday shopping, debts to be paid, being around people we really don’t want to be around, meal planning, cooking, etc. Unfortunately, politics
Editor: Good afternoon, I am the man “calling himself the ‘executive’ director of the Conservation Federation of Missouri,” as referenced in Larry Dablemont’s submission of fiction for the week. To save you from horribly misinforming your readers, I have taken the time to retort to Dablemont’s most recent work of fiction. What you see in
Message: I have replaced my water filter at the expense of around $1,700, due to our sulfer smelling water in El Dorado Springs. There’s a lot of people complaining about the water on Facebook. Can’t the Sun check into this situation? The water is extremely bad, even a new water filter can’t handle this issue.
Editor: Dear young men of Cedar County: I appreciate the values that you have chosen to learn.

Editor: Obama’s ATF approval of bump stocks in 2010, which allow semi-automatic rifles to become somewhat a makeshift machine gun. I have to wonder if this might have been a deliberate act in order to enforce stricter gun laws in the future. With legislators wanting to ban the bump stock, if successful, they will have
Editor: President Trump’s proposal for comprehensive tax reform was almost immediately dismissed as heartless and impractical by his political opponents. Campus Reform took it upon themselves to try an experiment at George Washington University. The experimenters asked several students about Trump’s tax plan. Of f course, most of the students showed their distaste for the
Editor: Early this morning MoDot put on overlay on Hwy. 39 from Hwy. 54 over to the point of intersection with Hwy. 32 at the west edge of Stockton. They did a beautiful job of resurfacing the roadway but they stopped without striping the roadway for traffic. The job must have been finished about Oct.
Editor: “Cryin’ Jimmy Kimmel” and other left wing celebrities were already pushing for gun control while the dead bodies in Las Vegas were still warm, hardly a moment to share grief for the lives lost. These celebrities like to work on the emotions of us citizens to push their agenda. In my honest opinion, I
