Where the path came out on a clearing she shifted her quilt to the other side and stood looking out over the valley a long time, we thought she was catching up on her memories...

(Local News ~ 07/24/01)

LIBRARY BOUNDARIES SPARK TALKS
(Local News ~ 07/24/01)
To Ken Frayser, the only relevance his address should have on his use of the Cape Girardeau Public Library is that he actually lives in the city limits. But he can't use that library -- at least not without forking over a $24 user fee, a yearly charge that his neighbors on nearby Sherwood Drive do not have to pay...

(High School Sports ~ 07/24/01)
Cape Girardeau Ford & Sons and Chaffee Medicap Pharmacy both picked up first-round wins Monday in the American Legion District 14 Tournament -- and neither baseball team had to make the long trip to Senath, Mo.

ORDER WILL MEAN BETTER STATE SERVICES
(Editorial ~ 07/24/01)
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- This is in response to Jon Rust's July 11 column, which dealt with the executive order on collective bargaining recently issued by Gov. Bob Holden. Whether intentional or not, Rust was misleading and left out key facts. I would like to set the record straight...

3 MILLION MEXICANS AWAIT FORMAL RECOGNITION
(Editorial ~ 07/24/01)

SAME-SEX MARRIAGE BAN WAS RIGHT THING TO DO
(Editorial ~ 07/24/01)
Gov. Bob Holden recently signed, with a distinct lack of fanfare, the bill banning same-sex marriage in Missouri. The bill had passed the Missouri Legislature overwhelmingly, as indeed it has several times in recent years. This subject isn't one which supporters of traditional marriage brought about. It is a measure necessitated by backers of same-sex marriage who have pressed their case in states, such as Vermont and Hawaii, whose courts or legislatures are more amenable to the radical notion...

SPEAK OUT
(Speak Out ~ 07/24/01)
I'D LIKE to comment on the person who said he would not vote for Peter Kinder. I'm sure he probably didn't vote for him the last time either. Why did he vote for Bob Holden? Anyone who understands and reads the facts and voting records would see that Kinder supports lower taxes and the working man. From what I read in this last Speak Out article, I'm sure this caller didn't put in much time or research last election...
