Sedline for Sept. 13
“This is for John Hansen (’City from a newcomer’s view,’ Sept. 6) ... He says Wal-Mart doesn’t have (flavorful) meat ... He should stop by Woods. Woods and Bing’s have the very best meat in town. ... (A)nd then he would shop locally.”
“With all the prices soaring the way they are for everything, if we did away with farm subsidies and let the welfare farmers actually do some work, that might actually bring the prices down on some of our food.”
“Just got through walking at Liberty Park and I just cannot believe that some people allow their dogs to take big dumps in the park and not clean it up. It is just outrageous.”
“Why are people screaming that they want their health insurance left alone? President Obama is just offering us another option. We can choose the new government health insurance or you can keep your private health insurance. Mark my word, if the government option fails, your insurance rates are going to go up.”
“Christians are constantly deprived of their rights at schools because they are not allowed to pray publicly and they’re not allowed to do anything because of other people’s lack of religious preference.”
“I would like to thank Sue Heckert for all she does for Sedalia. Her motto is, ‘We love, we care, we share,’ and she certainly does that.”
“When the promoters of Sedalia are promoting the city to other businesses, they need to be sure and mention the outlying areas that shop in Sedalia, such as Cole Camp, Marshall, Warrensburg, Smithton, Otterville, even as far as Tipton. This would maybe help promote more interest in bringing in new business.”
“There should be an ordinance ... that if you live in (Sedalia), you are not allowed to have a dog. It seems the ones in my neighborhood, they want to bark 24 hours a day. That’s what I think should be done ... if you live in town, you can’t have a dog.”
“Just wanted to comment on how wonderful the girls are at Bing’s deli (in the west location). They are just wonderful.”
“I read (Obama’s) speech ... it was pretty encouraging. He said he expected great things from the kids and he didn’t want them to let us down, or their family down, or the country down. ... That doesn’t sound like Hitler to me.”
“You look like a country hick when you drive in the rain without your lights on.”
“We totally agree with (Our View, Thursday) ... concerning (renaming) Adams Road. ... The announcement .... was premature. Thanks for the (editorial).”

“Has anyone noticed there is a one-inch sidewalk on the north side of 5th Street between Lamine and Washington? Just stand on the northeast corner and look — oops, you’d be standing in the street. People park where people used to walk.”
“I wish Al McCurdy would hurry up and get back in the (radio) booth for the Smith-Cotton football Tigers.”
“Aug. 31 was the last day to wear white, but I don’t have time to change my purse.”
