Big Day For Valley of Flowers, But Not For The St. Louis Blues

By Randy Gardner

What a weekend it was as the Valley of Flowers parade ended up having great weather and a great turnout, even though it was pretty warm.

I just want to say thanks to everyone who said “hi” and that they read my column. I really appreciate it. I look back at some of the columns over the past 14 or 15 years and the message seems to always be the same, a lot of losing in this town but more than a few moments of spectacular wins.

Despite All Our Problems in Society There is Hope With Today’s Youth

By Tom Anselm

Some days I fear this old world will just split down the middle.  There are so many divisions.  Red states, blue states. Israelis versus Palestinians.  And, in spite of all that has happened over the pas 50 years, there is still white against black. Not to mention Mizzou zealots hating on Kansas fans.
