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

Editor: I am writing today to ask that all Cedar County residents seriously consider a vote of yes for the hospital tax levy. Please see the information below that comes form published material and is being disrupted. Cedar County Memorial Hospital has been operating under the same tax levy for 58 years. Today, the hospital
Editor: I just learned of the passing of Bill Browning. He was one of my favorite people! I don’t know if many of you knew him because Bill was pretty low-key. You would never know by talking to him that he was one of America’s heroes and that’s sad. We need more heroes like Bill
