Resistance
Some of my friends have become exhausted in their ongoing fight to save our democracy from tyrannical rule by Trump. Because of the president's ongoing lies and never-ending attempts to sow seeds of doubt and confusion in the body politic, it is understandable that some citizens have succumbed to escapism. However, that is exactly what the president and his henchmen want. I urge those of you who have begun to weaken in your resistance to authoritarianism to recommit yourselves to resisting the coordinated effort to destroy our republic lest it soon be confined to the dustbin of history.
North side

Soccer seniors
We'll miss you Grace Pehle and Lauren Welker. Thank you for your irreplaceable leadership and infectious attitudes.

SEMO football announced its upcoming season opponents. And no one in Southeast Missouri cared.
Apartments
I wouldn't want a bunch of apartments or duplexes around my house either. But you can bet your last dollar that your city leaders are only concerned about new tax revenue, not your home value or who your neighbors will be.
