Ross opinion

Thank you, Adrienne Ross, for your great article �Raising victims or victors.� There is no doubt that our country has many problems, including racism on both sides. There is also no doubt that most of these problems start at home, whether you�re black, white or any other color.

Autism cuts

Slashing Missouri�s state budget for autism services is a sinful abomination.

Jensen column

After reading Mike Jensen�s recent installment, I am more convinced than ever that the Republicans will not lose 20 seats in this year�s congressional elections. Nope. The party will lose at least 40.

Melvin Gateley

Melvin Gateley was a gem of a person. I particularly admired him when he frequently took anti-establishment positions while on the city council.

Golf tournament

I would have thought that the sports department would have covered, at least a little bit, the Missouri Valley Conference Men�s Golf Championship this week at Dalhousie. This is a pretty big deal to have this championship event in Cape. I volunteered and had a wonderful time. The coaches were nice and the players were so polite. Nice of the folks at Dalhousie to bring this to our town.
