We are thrilled with the news from a north-county web site’s announcement Monday that no legal challenge will be made against a petition for the November ballot seeking a vote on the county seat issue.

Prior to this, it was a safe bet that a legal challenge will be made to the recent petition drive seeking a November ballot referendum on the issue of moving the county seat from Hermann to Owensville. Opponents had already began the effort as the signatures on the petitions were being verified.

Letter to the editor:

I have lived in Owensville since 1950 and I like others have seen a lot of changes. And not all for the better either.

I thought it was great that Nathan got a certificate of appreciation for being the quarterback for the past two years.  I also thought the appropriate thing for the school district to have done would have been to give that to every senior that played football last year. Not one of those young men could have done what they did, without the other boys helping them every step of the way. OHS just lost many talented football players.
