On the search for thankful people
Posted Wednesday, October 21, at 1:41 PM
The Southeast Missourian is continuing its yearly series highlighting the thankful people in Southeast Missouri. Last year we brought you the McCullough family, who after battling cancer and unemployment were thankful to be closer to health and fully employed. We told you about Charisse Parrish, who recovered from brain surgery and bounced back from an apartment fire, and about Neal E. Boyd who was grateful for the success brought to him after winning NBC's "America's Got Talent."
Now we want you to tell us who else has something great to be thankful for. Tell us about your neighbor, your banker, your employer; anyone who has overcome adversity, illness, unemployment, anything that has made them a stronger, more thankful person. E-mail your thankful person's name, their story and contact information to me at charris@semissourian.com with "thankful" in the subject line.
Are you free this weekend? Looking for something to do? I've got three last minute ideas for Friday, Saturday and Sunday: It's Halloween season. The Cape Parks and Rec department has once again transformed the Arena building into a Hall of Horror which opens tonight. Several other organizations and farms have also planned activities...
All Rapped Up Part of my job can be summed up as such: I take information and present it to readers in a creative and interesting way so they are more likely to remember it for later use. It's when I find gems like this video that I laugh and am inspired to compete or at least keep up. Until I come up with a better, more interesting way to do (yet another) story on H1N1, here's a fun rap about swine flue:...
Fixing the festival Stages, vendors and bands camped out downtown Friday and Saturday for the 13th Annual River City Music Festival, put on by the City of Roses Music Heritage Association and several local business sponsors. This event is supposed to raise money for a scholarship awarded to a music major who attends or plans to attend Southeast Missouri State University...
Music to Van Gogh's Ear If you head to Stooge's in Jackson Saturday, you'll hear the reunion effort of Van Gogh's Ear. The band, which started just shy of 15 years ago, but split up because unlike relationships, a long distance band doesn't really work. Occasionally though, founding member and guitarist Eric Dahl (also known as the relocating member since he moved to Vegas in 2001) will return and look up bass player Alan Palermo and the rest of the current line up -- Josh Puckett on drums and Joe Lowes on guitar and vocals -- and the foursome gets together.. ...
Moldy shoes My flip flops have mold on them. It's not the icky kind yet; It's white and fuzzy. I need an enterprising hippie or a resourceful house cleaner to help me get the mold out. Anybody who's ever owned Rainbows realizes my dilemma and understands my panic to fix the situation. These are awesome flip flops (comfy, durable) and no one around here sells them to my knowledge...
Ch-Ch-Changes Dearest friends and readers, I love that you've come with me to Cape this whole time. This blog started out with my musings as a newcomer to the town. Then it changed to a mostly entertainment blog about what was coming to Cape. It will soon change (soon, like in about an hour) from "Coming to Cape" to "Features Stew."...
Entertainment bits Starting with the most urgent and working our way down: Mollie's Cafe is holding a Vintner's Dinner tonight with A to Z Winery, Rex Hill Winery and food from Jones Heritage Farms. These things always pair the food and drink perfectly. Hors d'oeuvres start at 6 p.m., dinner at 6:30. Tickets are $50. Call 339-1661 or 651-1916...
48 hour film project The annual 48-Hour Film Project, St. Louis chapter, starts Friday from 6 to 7 p.m. at Winifred Moore Auditorium, Webster University, 470 E. Lockwood Ave, St. Louis, MO 63119. From that moment until 7:30 p.m. Sunday local filmmakers, actors and confused friends roped into helping will be writing scripts, filming, editing and driving like bats to get back to the city and turn in their 5-minute masterpieces...
First streaming. How'd it go? If you logged onto semissourian.com between 8 and 9 tonight you hopefully saw a preview of the first Tunes at Twilight artist, Kimberley Dahme. Here's the deal: Each Tunes artist comes to town on Thursday. They play a set from 8 to 9 p.m. at Stooges in Jackson. They play on KFVS Friday morning and then play the Tunes concert at 7 p.m. on Friday at the gazebo...

Chris Harris manages the feature sections in the Southeast Missourian. Those colorful, fun pages toward the end of the A section? That's her and her team. She works on Health, Home and Garden, SE Live, neXt, Religion, the Sunday Good Times section and the daily comics pages. She deals with everything from the flu and fitness topics to house projects and kitchen tips to the latest plays and art exhibits in town. You know: conversation topics. She uses this space to talk about what's coming up, what you're interested in and what she found yesterday. You can sum it and her up in one word: Random.
