SNOW FINALLY DISAPPEARING; DECEMENTER SNOW SEES JANUARY SUN
(Local News ~ 01/13/01)
Call it the four-inch snow that wouldn't go away. Some evidence of the snow that fell in Cape Girardeau County on Dec. 13 -- that's 32 days ago -- can still be found in shady areas and in piles left by road-clearing equipment. "I can only recall one other time that snow cover has lingered on this long," said Terry Long, a retired advertising executive who has been in Cape Girardeau more than a half century. "That was an unexpected winter storm in February of 1979."...

BUCKING THE SYSTEM: NEW YEAR BRINGS IN OLD RESOLUTION
(Column ~ 01/13/01)
We may be in a new year, but for some reason I find myself making the same old resolution. Every year I redesign the classic "lose weight" resolution in an effort to give it new life. Sometimes I resolve to "lose 25 pounds," other years it's "get fit," and sometimes my resolution is to "improve my physical self-image." I always join a gym or start some type of exercise regimen, and I find myself skimming the newspaper's classified ads for cheap exercise equipment those who can afford to purchase new stuff are getting rid of in favor of the newest gadgetry available.. ...

KZIM radio personality Cindie Jeter's "Talk of Cape" morning show has been canceled and replaced with an earlier show featuring Jeter and station manager Terry Hester.

NEW MADRID SHAKES CAPE CENTRAL IN OVERTIME 48-46
(High School Sports ~ 01/13/01)
The Cape Central Tigers are proof positive that there's a reason why games are played on the court. Heavy underdogs, the host Tigers battled New Madrid County Central into overtime before falling 48-46 on Friday. Cape Central (2-10) narrowly missed the huge upset when New Madrid's Byron Minner nailed a 15-foot baseline jumper with one second left in overtime to allow the top-ranked 3A Eagles (8-4) to escape with the win. Minner's basket provided the only points in overtime...

(High School Sports ~ 01/13/01)
After Notre Dame's 68-56 victory over Scott City Friday night, Jonathan Ressel had a four-year script written on his face.

ASHCROFT: A HILL TO DIE ON
(Column ~ 01/13/01)
I am not pleased about this, but I was sure on the money when I wrote that we were on the verge of a four-year war by the Democrats. President Clinton obviously intends his politics of polarization to continue beyond his eight-year stint. Preaching to fawning, disgruntled audiences, he declared the only way Republicans could win the election was "to stop the voting in Florida." So much for any pretense to bipartisanship and healing...

KELLY DISTRICT LOOKING FOR SOME DIRECTION
(Editorial ~ 01/13/01)
It's hard to imagine anywhere voters have more resoundingly expressed their displeasure with a ballot question than in the Kelly School District, where they've rejected a school construction bond issue five times. The votes began in 1997, when voters twice defeated a $1.6 million measure. The last vote was in November, when a $4.9 million measure went down with only 49 percent of the vote. It needed a four-sevenths supermajority, or about 57 percent...
