Letters to the Editor

Can you help? Children from our community need sanctuary. Our community continues to lack enough support for children taken into foster care. Too often, kids are being sent out of their school district and community because no local homes are available. Too often, siblings are split up because there are no homes that can take

We live in Missouri, so there is a very good chance a bridge or highway near us is in really bad shape. And for those of us in rural Missouri, slow or nonexistent internet makes our lives difficult. But now, thanks to the recently passed Infrastructure Bill, there is money to address all of these

My name is Danny Crawford. I grew up and went to school in El Dorado Springs. I’ve had my very fair share of problems with the law, drugs and the “prison system.” I’m currently in Federal prison in Greenville, IL. I usually do not comment or have much of an opinion about other people’s legal

Editor: I had several people contact me about your recent news story who felt David Bozarth had been steamrolled at the Hospital Board meeting and they wondered how ethical or legal it was. I can tell you that I was on the Board meeting call and the board did indeed vote on Aug 19th to

Since I filed to seek the position on the CCMH Board of Trustees, certain members of the Board have been working to hinder my ability to be a representative for the citizens of Cedar County.

Laura Logan said women journalists are told they don’t have jobs anymore. One journalist was executed on the newsroom floor. Laura Logan
