I want to take a moment to address a recent story aired by KY3 that has sparked conversations within out community. While I cannot discuss the specifics of a student matter, I feel it’s crucial to express our unwavering commitment to protecting the privacy and well-being of every single student...
Saturday night October 5 at the Star Theater a fabulous Bluegrass group called Route 3 will be performing. It would be great to fill the historic theater that night as a way to thank Wendell and Joan Bailey, Sherry Lovan, and all who were involved in saving the theater. See you there for a great...
Thank you for your article in regards to Amendment 3!  I am a former resident of Howell County and continue to subscribe to your newspaper.  I appreciate that you are keeping attention on this topic.  I am the oldest of 10 children, and the mother of three. I am also a practicing Catholic!  ...
Does a town die because it becomes a speed trap town or, because it is dying, it becomes a speed trap town? Over 50 years ago, a driver volunteered the information that Edgar Springs, MO was a speed trap town. I didn’t have a driver’s license or even know where the town was, but every time I...

John 3:19 - And this is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. How heartbreaking to watch an expected calamity occur, almost like a train wreck in slow motion. Doubtless, we have all noticed early...
I’m writing in reference to last week’s Letter to the Editor supporting Amendment 3. If the people vote Yes on the Amendment, all pregnancy centers in our state will be forced to close if they don’t offer abortion. Currently, I support the Pregnancy Center in West Plains where hundreds of...
