August 14 Sedline

We went to the fair for dollar day and it was awesome. All the free entertainment is just awesome. Can’t even name the ones because they’re all so good. ...

Why won’t the cops take fingerprints when they have a robbery? Looks like that would be a better chance of catching them. One cop said, just by looking at the door, there don’t seem to be any prints. How could he tell just with his eyes? Seems to me they’re not trying very hard to catch them.

My wife and I have lived in Sedalia a little over a year and a half and she was looking out the window about a quarter to eight today and noticed that the truck went by that sprayed for mosquitoes. I think they do a great job spraying for mosquitoes. I think I’ve only seen two mosquitoes since I’ve lived here. I wish they could teach some people up north how to get rid of mosquitoes like that. That’s a great use of tax money.

The primaries are over with and the stage is set once again. Here we go, we have another chance, a golden opportunity, to make a change in the commissioner’s seat. ... The time for change is now. So get up, get out and vote.

Thank you very much to the Katy Park Baptist Church for the free giveaway of clothing. I think that is a wonderful, wonderful idea and I think if several of the other churches would do this for their townspeople it would be a great deal for low-income families to get clothing for their children. Thank you and God bless.

Thank you to the gentleman who was out at the fair on Thursday, Aug. 7, at the Mathewson Exhibition Center. My daughter almost choked on a jawbreaker and he saved her life. I wanted to extend my appreciation to him. God bless him.

I read in the paper about all these people complaining about secondhand smoke. Well, if you sit by somebody that has had a drink and smell them it makes you sick at your stomach. So I think they ought to quit complaining about secondhand smoke.

With regards to the Bothwell hospital board of directors wanting to have the residency requirement lifted, I think the City Council needs to take a hard look at that. Why do we want someone from Timbuktu dictating policy and procedure for a city owned hospital. ... I understand several employees that have been there for many, many, many years — faithful employees — are being fired and replaced. The administration is saying they don’t know how to do their job. ... Somebody needs to check before there is a big lawsuit brought against the City of Sedalia for discrimination on job performance.

It is apparent that the party that dislikes Bible thumpers, gun nuts and conservatives would approve of a police state that would silence all opposition. If that’s what you want, why don’t you move to China, then you could enjoy watching protests being put down every day. I believe that if you knew anything about America, you would know that a lot of Bible thumpers and gun nuts took part in its formation and gave you the right of free speech.
