Speak Out

The St. Louis Cardinals have lost their way -- "The Cardinal Way". Since Tony La Russa retired they have slowly lost their way. This year the pitching isn't good. No no. 1 starter. No closer that is dominant. They don't have enough line drive hitters. ...

Yet another Republican governor has signed a bill loosening child labor laws to allow children under 16 to work shifts on assembly lines and use caustic and dangerous chemicals. Did they not have to read novels by Charles Dickens when they were in school? I hope Missouri doesn't stoop so low as to put our children at risk!...

The neighbors on Stewart Drive had to do their own stormwater from water coming from as far way as Dorothy, and the other streets near there. The city told us they would take care of the stormwater if we voted for it, which we did. They only did work was on Hopper Road, which didn't help at all. ...

I am absolutely confounded by our local law enforcement. Just 15 minutes ago, I witnessed a scene I see repeatedly here in Cape and on the rare occasions when I drive in Jackson. While driving down Mt. Auburn, I noticed in my side mirror a large black truck barreling up from behind in the lane next to me. ...

Seeing a supposedly grown adult male with rude, hate-filled stickers on their tailgates, bumpers and windows is just such a sign of the current times. What are they? Middle schoolers mentally? Grow up. We have little kids out here in our cars, and we don't want to have to explain your mental illness...

Reading the births section everyday is important to keep a positive attitude that there is hope because of these precious babies. For the people who choose to wear a fragrance please use it lightly or not at all. Many people are allergic and the smell literally makes them sick...

4/20 at Capaha Today was 4/20,a day to officially celebrate Marijuana. In Cape Girardeau, they celebrated in Capaha Park. Children could be seen playing while adults stood around smoking marijuana and eating snacks laced with Marijuana. It is legal, but why did the city allow this in our city Park around children? There was a police presence taking away more important duties. Next year if they want to celebrate it, choose a more private place where children don't play...

It's time Broadway Theatre be torn down. Who will be responsible if someone gets hurt or, worse, killed. It's dangerous, plus an eye sore. The people who want to save it have had plenty of time to get the funds. It would be better to build a new theater where live shows and local bands could play. The group trying to save it gave a noble try, but now it's time to say goodbye...

I'm so sorry about those who died in the tornado and those who lost their homes. Our prayers are with you. I just love Mary Ann Castillo's food columns. They never cease to amaze and inspire. The St. Louis Cardinals are off to bad start. The pitching has been terrible, but they can be better. ...
