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
Editor: I am writing today to let you know how I feel about Cedar County Memorial Hospital. I have worked at Cedar County Memorial Hospital both full time and prn. What I have found while working in the hospital was employees got in and learned how to do their job and many times other jobs
Editor: Once again in this topsy-turvy world of politics we have the pot calling the kettle black. With this brain dead Democratic party we have a host of wanna-be Presidents who can’t do anything but had-mouth the President and call him a traitor for doing the job that the Democrats don’t have the brains or
Editor: Thinking about “Angela’s” wish for more Muslims in congress, I wonder if “she” gets her wish, and Islam takes over America (our destruction is their goal), will “Angela” want to remain a “she,” become the property, one of a Muslim man’s “wives” but owned much like a goat (they prefer goats over cows) and

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
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
Editor: Once again we hear from the “Land of the Fruits and the Nuts” and as usual it gets a little nuttier each time. Oh yes, all we need is more Muslims elected to federal office to tell we non-Muslims of the wonderful benefits of following Allah. Don’t worry yourself, Angela, every major city in
Editor: My name is Rita Miller and I want to share with you about the food pantry downtown at the Church of the Nazarene, North Campus, 217, N. Main St. Along with the Ministerial Association we are helping people in our community with a hand up – not just a hand out. We want you
