BUCKING THE SYSTEM: SECOND-BORN SEEKS ''SPONSIBILITY' AND SENIORITY
(Column ~ 11/11/00)
One of my favorite memories about Patrick Jr.'s infancy occurred upon his first meeting with his big brother, Jerry, nearly two years ago. To my dad's horror, I had again decided to nurse my child and had no problems doing so with appropriate coverings in the family room. ...

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: SMS HAS MOTIVATION TO BEAT SE
(College Sports ~ 11/11/00)
It won't be a conference game, but the Southwest Missouri State football team still figures to have some extra motivation today when the Bears host Southeast Missouri State University's Indians in a 1 p.m. kickoff in Springfield, Mo. Last year, the Indians were stumbling along with an 0-7 record when the Bears paid a visit to Cape Girardeau. While SMS might have been expecting to continue Southeast's misery, the Indians pulled off a 28-23 upset victory...

LETTERS: THOSE BEHIND VOTER FRAUD NEED TO BE PROSECUTED
(Letter to the Editor ~ 11/11/00)
To the editor: Regarding the alleged voter fraud in Alexander County, Ill., we would like to offer a few comments. Just because it goes on every election doesn't make it right, and it should stop. Voting is a privilege, and the process should be carried out in a legal way from start to finish. Those who are upholding voter fraud are surely not interested in what is best for the county...

SOUTHEAST MISSOURI VETERANS SERVED THEIR COUNTRY WELL
(Editorial ~ 11/11/00)

This election has made the cliche, "Every vote counts," into a mantra everyone is chanting. Most who say it refer to the presidential election, which perhaps will be decided by a few hundred votes. But we have a better example even closer to home in the $6 million Jackson school bond issue...

AL GORE: THY COUNTRY OR THYSELF?
(Column ~ 11/11/00)
The burden is now on Al Gore and the Democratic Party to prove that they are still capable of putting the nation's interests above their own. During the impeachment saga, Republicans insisted that Democrats were sticking by Clinton -- despite his manifold abuses of power and felonies -- because he was their only remaining avenue to power. Democrats denied it, saying they were defending him because he was guilty only of private misconduct involving sex...

CHRISTIAN TERMINOLOGY OFTEN CAN BE INTIMIDATING TO OUTSIDERS
(Local News ~ 11/11/00)
The words church members use during worship services can be as daunting and intimidating as the vast buildings that house congregations. For anyone who seldom visits a church or who just professed to be a Christian, the "church words" can loom as large as any steeple. Terminology like sanctification, justification, redemption, Eucharist, evangelism and stewardship are only a few examples...
