Disgusted by

school board

This is in reference to the school reversing course on benching players. I am so utterly disgusted with our board of education with the administration and with the coach! That is one of the main reasons I'm so glad that those boys did not win on Saturday. I was rooting for them until I heard they reinstated those players. That is awful! I don't care what they were thinking of as far as the administration. So it's more important for the boys to play a game than it is to learn a lesson that it is not okay to throw water bottles at people walking on the way to the game? That is so stupid! We have the worst school district ever and until things get under control this town will never grow. It will never prosper because of all of the mistakes they are making. It's time somebody stood up and did something!

Unimpressed

by city report

I have read the city manager's report to the Chamber of Commerce. I think they will not be impressed by it. He underestimates the intelligence of the group. This is a paper which is full of sound and fury signifying nothing and is full of the promise of the old saying, "Figures don't lie, but liars figure."

Executive

orders by R-1

Yes, I'm speaking out about the school reversal on benching the players. See Sells is trying to pull the Obama act that he's making executive orders. He thinks he's the president around here. We need to leave things up to the superintendent. At the school the kids are benched for making actions that are not acceptable to our school policy. Sells need to be taken care of his stores. He needs to go back there and flip some hamburgers so we all can get waited on when we go in the stores and maybe we can get some orders right. He has no authority to do what he did. We need to leave the decisions up to the people who are in charge in our school systems. I am very unhappy with his recourse on this and we need to take action against him on doing such an idiotic thing. We don't need another President Obama making executive orders in Poplar Bluff, Missouri. And, I ask you, please, print this in your article. Please print this for me.

We trusted the

school system

We entrusted the school administration and the school board with millions of dollars and what do we get? Soccer punks! The school administration needs to throw the handbook away and school board all needs to resign!

Move city hall

to coliseum

If the City Manager has no interest in increasing the activities at Black River Coliseum and apparently he doesn't because today on the 10th he's meeting to shut it down. Why doesn't he consider moving the city offices down there? It's an ideal building and if he's gonna shoot it down then it will be an ideal place --a beautiful building--and has plenty of room for all the city offices. This was initiated before he came here. It's a beautiful building. We like it and we think that him shutting it down is entirely wrong! If he wants to look for ways to save money, look at his own office. The tremendous amount of increase the city manager's office overspent on a lot of things in this town.
