    Big second half propels Cape Central past Poplar Bluff
    Clay Herrell ~ Southeast Missourian
    The Cape Central Tigers stayed perfect as they coasted by the Poplar Bluff Mules 69-48 on Friday at Cape Central High School. Both teams scuffled out of the gate as it was just 11-7 Tigers after one-quarter of play. “Bluff is physical and they got us in spots where we kind of played too fast when we didn’t need to be and I think that led to some unforced turnovers,” Tigers coach Drew Church said...

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.
