Sucker Punched?

Editor: Cedar County Elected Leaders have been lied to, lead to believe what they were told. Ha. Well, don’t feel bad it happens to all of us at some point in time. SB 391 passed with the signature of Governor Mike Parsons. Our Leaders in Cedar County thought Parsons was a good ole boy, could

Write on

Editor: I love responses to my op-ed pieces and always have since I started writing at age 13. However, when a reader responds to me, there is no need to put quotation marks around anything. Angela is my legal name and she is my legal pronoun and wife, one of my titles, as well as

Puzzled

Editor: I have noticed several times while traveling south on Main Street (Hwy. 82), situations where the traffic has had to allow oncoming cars to clear before proceeding to avoid hitting a parked vehicle. I know of at least one accident that has happened because of this situation. The City fathers need to address this

True traitors are Dems

Editor: Once again in this topsy-turvy world of politics we have the pot calling the kettle black.

A people tax

Editor: Here we go again. Another government entity, the Cedar County Memorial Hospital board, want to tax property. As far as I can tell, property, farmland, cattle, equipment, etc., has no need for a hospital. A hospital is only good for people. What you need is a people tax. After all, it’s the people who

Six more years

Freda Flint – A legend

The Northeast Vernon County R-I community has lost a legend. Freda Flint was the brain, heart and soul of the Schell City school and eventually the Northeast Vernon County school district for many years. She began her service in the early 1950’s and continued until 2012! Freda was well known and respected for her knowledge

Be cautious when placing pets

Editor: The arrest of a St. Charles County man for allegedly strangling, stomping and dismembering cats he’d acquired through Craigslist ads is a reminder of the dangers of giving animals away without proper screening and other precautions. “Free to a good home” ads are magnets for cruel and psychotic people who seek easy victims for
