    SCAA Tournament: Woodland storms back (with belief) in shocking comeback over Advance
    Tom Davis
    DEXTER – There is belief and then there is borderline insanity. For the Woodland boy’s basketball team on Friday, its players and coaches never ceased in their conviction that the Cardinals could beat Advance in the third-place game of the Stoddard County Athletic Association Tournament, which minutes into the contest, was either an insane thought or ignorant, take your pick.

Should Missouri ballot initiatives to amend the state constitution require a 60% majority approval by voters as opposed to the current simple majority?

Do you agree with the Cape Girardeau Public School Board's decision to proceed with Phase I of an indoor athletic complex? Phase I is expected to cost about $2.6 million. Phase II is estimated to cost an additional $2 million.

    Life is short, let someone else fry the chicken
    There are some foods that I never want to cook at home because of the bother: pork rinds, a real steamed Christmas pudding, anything fried, especially chicken. Juicy, crispy, delicious fried chicken definitely tops that list. So the last couple of weeks, I started asking people where they like to get their fried chicken.
