Published Feb. 6, 1980. Whoops! Wrong way! Several Cape Girardeau motorists were ticketed for this maneuver at the intersection of South Sprigg and Independence early today.

Published Jan. 28, 1981. The Cape County Nursing Service moved its base of operations Tuesday to newly-renovated quarters in the old Public Library building in Cape Girardeau.

A door has been installed at the rear of the building for use by clients. In the past the nursing service has operated out of an office in the Cape County Courthouse in Jackson and at various locations here. Shown moving the furnishings are Terry Schnurbusch and Chip Seesing. Watching are, from left, Loretta Dickerson, service secretary; Carol Sarff, a licensed practical nurse with the service; and Charlotte Craig, administrative nurse.

Published Jan. 17, 1982. Barge traffic on the Mississippi River at Cape Girardeau was moving slowly Saturday, but at least it was moving. Portions of the river north of Cairo, Illinois are clogged with ice jams. Here, the Frank T. Heffelfinger goes downriver beside the Ginny Stone, tied up at the Themis street floodgate. The area got another frigid blast of winter this weekend, plunging thermometers well below zero. Relief, however, is expected early in the week. (Fred Lynch ~ Southeast Missourian archive)
