Violating rights?

Wappapello citizens voting rights! What's with Wayne County officials forcing the citizens of the Wappapello voting precinct to vote in a church when they had available a public community building? Political move? Church wants free publicity? Have you all ever heard about separation of state and church? Our rights are being violated. Thank you.

Help the vets

Help our Veterans! I would like to see a law passed that requires medical facilities to submit medical bills to the VA for review. Recently the local non-va hospital has taken up the policy of refusing to submit Veteran's bills to the VA and in turn the Veteran is left holding the bag. The law has been set up for the VA to possibly pay some emergency room bills for Veterans if they can get the bills, but Regional now refuses to send them to the VA. If your in government you need to address this problem and help our Vets who sacrificed for us all. Thank you

Where's coupons?

Why is it we NEVER get any kind of coupon booklets in our newspaper? PG brands puts coupon out at least every week and we never get any! WHY?

Ban kite flying

I think flying kites should be banned at Wappapello. Those big long strings that's attached could wrap around somebody's water ski and cut their head plum off. The vultures could also be effected along with people talking on their cell phones.

Party or picnic

Yes, I would like offer an opinion. Briggs & Stratton are asking their employees if they would like to choose between a Christmas party or a picnic. They usually have a Christmas party once a year. I'd like to encourage the bosses down there at Briggs & Stratton to take in consideration a family style picnic would be wonderful for the children of the employees and even if the children weren't allowed it would still be better than a drunken brawl that usually takes place at the Christmas party. They could play sack races and have other kinds of games like ball games. If you've been to a nice, big family company picnic it's very fun and they could even bring dishes so that wouldn't cost them for the food. Everybody could bring a dish. This is a suggestion to think about. People that drink and like to get out there and all they do is get drunk, drunk, drunk they can still go to bars and get together but a family picnic would be really, really nice for employees that don't like to just get drunk and that's the only reason for going. Thanks.

Screening patients

The reason why screen new patients. Well, let me tell you about my situation. Went to St. Louis. Had doctors down here in Poplar Bluff. One doctor was overdosing me, one doctor was underdosing me; another doctor --the medication did nothing whatsoever. And doctors down here can't work on Fridays. St. Louis they work on Saturdays. Go figure!

Where's flag?

So, what's up with the cemeteries? They're not flying the flag on either of the veteran's flag posts only on Woodlawn. And where's the guys? They're never out there any more. So, what's up with that?
