With its liquor license slated to expire July 1, the future is uncertain for Cape Girardeau's only nightclub serving predominantly black customers.

STRANGER THAN FICTION: MEDICAL QUASTIONNAIRES CAN MAKE YOU FEEL SICK
(Column ~ 06/20/01)
There's nothing like going to a new doctor to either make you appreciate your good health or feel as though you're falling apart. I'm talking about those long medical questionnaires they require. My latest was for my new dentist. It was one page, front and back, single spaced, small type, packed with inquiries about my maladies...

(Local News ~ 06/20/01)
EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. -- When Mike Tessaro read that Valley View Cemetery had to lay off its groundskeepers recently because of financial trouble, he picked up a broom and a lawn mower and went to work.

GIVING BACK TO THE GAME: BOHNER BECOMES FIXTURE WITH CAPE LEGION BASEBALL TEAM
(College Sports ~ 06/20/01)
Baseball has given so much to Bill Bohnert over the years, he figures it's only fair that he give something back. And, without much fanfare, that he has certainly done. Bohnert has spent the past 21 years as a coach with the Cape Girardeau American Legion team, spending hot summers toiling in virtual anonymity. But glory and recognition are not what the soft-spoken, good-natured Bohnert is after...

ROUNDABOUT PALES AGAINST LOCUST STORM
(Editorial ~ 06/20/01)
While heat and humidity suffocate much of Missouri and Cape Girardeans stew over a roundabout, locusts are descending upon Russia. A small story in Tuesday's newspaper reported they are eating through one to two miles per hour. But they've yet to grow wings. Once these crawling insects evolve to flying creatures, they will be able to travel hundreds of miles in a day...

OPTIONS FOR YOUNGSTERS TO KEEP BRAINS ACTIVE

ETHICS: NO ACTIVITY IS BETTER THAN ALTERNATIVE
(Editorial ~ 06/20/01)
The fact that members of the Cape Girardeau Ethics Commission have been all dressed up with no one to investigate for four years doesn't really surprise anyone. Voters created the ethics commission by approving an amendment to the city charter. After initially going begging for applications from potential commissioners -- apparently, they didn't like the requirement of revealing their financial dealings -- the city council appointed the seven-member commission in June 1997. ...

SPEAK OUT
(Speak Out ~ 06/20/01)
TO THE administrators of our local hospitals: You are out of touch with what's going on in the nursing department. As a nurse, I can tell you we are short in all departments, and most nurses are working a 14-hour to 16-hour shift with very few days off. Contrary to belief, money is a big motive for keeping nurses as most are leaving for better paying jobs in St. Louis. I would suggest that administrators talk to your people before making such comments...

RECIPE SWAP: MARK MILESTONES WITH GREAT FOODS
(Column ~ 06/20/01)
Every little milestone of life calls for a celebration at our house. Last weekend our 4-year-old Lexie learned to ride her bike without training wheels. She was so cute as she crawled on her bicycle and confidently rode across the yard. I was ready to fix a special treat for her to celebrate her big accomplishment, but she was perfectly content with a fudge ice cream bar. Life's little pleasures; learning to ride and a fudge bar. Life is so good...

A HARTE APPETITE: USE YOUR NOODLE: CHINESE NOODLES TAKE ON MANY SHAPES, BUT REMAIN QUICK AND CONVENIENT ADDITIONS TO A MEAL
(Column ~ 06/20/01)
What is the quintessential food of China? If you said rice you wouldn't be wrong, but, as I discovered recently during a week of cruising along the Yangtze River, you wouldn't be completely right either. The Yangtze divides China roughly in half -- not only geographically, but culturally as well. ...
