MISSOURIAN WANTS TO KNOW WHAT OUTDOOR READERS WANT

In recent weeks the Southeast Missourian instituted several changes and additions to its outdoors section.

The changes began with the inclusion of outdoors coverage as part of the Sunday sports section. As part of the new outdoors sub-section, the Missourian has added two weekly features: a column by Steve Vantreese, outdoors editor at The Paducah Sun, and a nature oriented series called "Whispering Hills" by freelance writer and illustrator Kathy Phelps.

In order to further improve outdoors coverage, the Missourian staff welcomes reader feedback on these writers as well as input on potential story ideas or any item you would like to see in the section.

If you have any suggestions please contact Marc Powers by writing the Southeast Missourian at P.O. Box 699, Cape Girardeau, Mo., 63702, or by phone at 335-4228.
