Big second half propels Cape Central past Poplar Bluff
Clay Herrell ~ Southeast Missourian
The Cape Central Tigers stayed perfect as they coasted by the Poplar Bluff Mules 69-48 on Friday at Cape Central High School. Both teams scuffled out of the gate as it was just 11-7 Tigers after one-quarter of play. "Bluff is physical and they got us in spots where we kind of played too fast when we didn't need to be and I think that led to some...

  • Struggling to Support Wife Amid Health Changes for 01/31/2023
    Dear Annie: I never thought I would need to reach out for advice regarding my marriage, but here I am. I've been with my wife for 12 years. It's the second marriage for both of us. There's a 14-year age gap between us. She has two children from her previous marriage, and I have two as well. With the exception of one, all of our children are now out of the home and creating new and exciting life memories for themselves. My wife is in her early 40s and is suffering from pre-menopause. She has been struggling with this for two years now. I have a business outside of our home that takes considerable time and effort and also takes some of my time when I'm at home. My wife was a career woman prior to her condition; however, she wanted to take some time off to get through this. I supported her decision, but after two years, it has placed considerable strain on our marriage. She was always this vibrant woman who was focused on her family and her own well-being.Updated: Tue Jan 31, 2023

    Tom Davis
    DEXTER – A mere 14 days earlier, the Dexter High School boy’s basketball squad had done battle with down-the-road rival Bernie and shut down the Mules’ offensive attack, including its super-scorer, senior guard Tristan Johnson in a 48-28 thumping.
