Some people say it’s a dog-eat-dog world. This video proves that’s not always the case.
EXPLOSIVE TIMES IS UP
We got an exclusive insider interview with someone directly involved with the recent federal raid at China Buffet Mongolian Grill. Even though officials have stayed mum on the issue, we got an exclusive interview with someone who saw first-hand the abuse and deplorable living conditions the illegal immigrants were subjected to and how they suffered.
In the next TIMES…
In two weeks, we’ll be bringing you the story of Mark L. Hicks, a member of the Poplar Bluff Hall of Fame, dedicated family man and businessman. We’ll share his story of philanthropy and the sacrifices he’s made to take care of those he cares about. While Mark J. Hicks was mentioned in our last edition, the focus on Mark L. Hicks will warm your heart.
Also, look forward to a new opinion column from Joe Clark and a new local music column by an expert and all-around cool guy who sometimes goes by Ozarko.

Our favorite former Green Beret is releasing a new campaign ad.
Tommy Sowers, a veteran running for Congress in Missouri’s 8th District, released a new television commercial that began airing today.
According to a new release posted to www.sowersforcongress.com, he had the following to say about the ad:
“I am looking forward to voters seeing the ad and learning about our campaign and why I’m running for office. I want voters to know who I am: a born and raised Missourian, a man of faith and a veteran.”
“I hope the ad encourages voters to pay attention to this race and learn more about my plan to bring new blood to Washington and jobs back to Southeast Missouri.”
The ad also discusses Tommy Sowers’ opponent, incumbent Congresswoman Jo Ann Emerson.
SNEAK PEAK — Silence Dogood puts down the pen
Silence Dogood: End of an era or a new beginning?
Two years is a long time.
Two years and more than 100 publications, later I’m going to conclude the Silence Dogood column. At least on a weekly basis. That isn’t to say that from time to time you won’t have to endure a Silence Dogood column, or if you are at the mall in Cape over the holidays or taking some courses at SEMO you won’t run into your faithful scribe’s writings. From time to time,I may even have a relapse and you’ll get to read a Silence Dogood column on page 7, (as some reading this might know it’s good to own a newspaper … as Gary Rust and I know it’s better to own 100 percent of one) but as a rule page 7 will be turned over a new column that will focus on a bit lighter side. You’ll probably read some politics, but also more society and community happenings. I think you’ll enjoy it.
SNEAK PEAK — Patriot Rally on tap Saturday
When it comes to the local Patriot Rally, political stereotypes surrounding the political Tea Party movement don’t tell the whole story.
Despite plagues of racism allegations and xenophobia accusations on the national level, local organizers insist that isn’t the case at all.
According to organizer Eddy Justice, the local Patriot Rally scene started as an offshoot of the Tea Party movement but has since modified to focus on education of the general public on the U.S. Constitution and the Tenth Amendment.
“The Tea Party is more of a demonstration against bad fiscal practices,” Justice said. “The Patriot Rally is about educating the public. We focus on education about the Constitution.”
