Thank you
My wife and I were some the lucky recipients of the Southeast Missourian Newspaper Catfish Baseball Ticket contest. We were given tickets for the Tuesday night game which the Catfish won! We wanted to thank the Southeast Missourian for wonderful seats, great food and beverage and an all around enjoyable evening! We were greeted by Mr. Jon Rust and other Southeast Missourian employees with a genuine "thank you" for being Southeast Missourian subscribers. Thank you again and we will be back to see them play again as the ballpark is really nice!
HS sports
It's a terrible shame that your sports section has reduced itself to nothing note than a marketing department for SEMO University sports and that ridiculous Catfish baseball league. Cover high school sports!

Electronics overuse
Mr. Rust's column about electronics use by the young generation was interesting. There will never be a simple answer to the problem, because it is impossible to completely control someone. But a major answer is nothing new. It's called "parenting." Look at your kids' phone, no matter how much they fuss. Take phones and have dead times. Make and enforce rules like "no phones at the table or during meals." Put up phones at bedtime (buy a cheap alarm clock). And practice what you preach! If you can't stay away from your phone, guess where they are learning this behavior?
What hypocrites
Even though we don't need any more evidence of the hypocrisy of the left, they give us more! Democrats tried their best to destroy the career and reputation of a highly qualified Supreme Court nominee. Even when it became evident that there was nothing to the charges they are still around wearing their "I Believe" T-shirts! Now in Virginia they nominate a candidate who has actually spent six months in jail for having sex with a minor! How anyone with an ounce of decency, morality and common sense could vote for these clowns is beyond me!
