LETTER TO THE EDITOR

July 21, 2004 The Waynedale News Staff 0 min read

On July 4, an unpatriotic act occurred. The American flag at the Prairie Grove Cemetery on Old Trail Road was stolen from the flagpole. American Legion Post 241 has already replaced it. I would like to commend the thief’s for leaving the POW-MIA flag on the pole. It is outrageous that someone would do this on this special day.

American Legion Post 241 in Waynedale would like any information regarding this serious act. If you know of anyone that has information of who is responsible, please contact the American Legion, Charles Rathsack, Commander, at 747-7851.

As cold as this winter has been for much of the country, watching a film called Dead of Winter might not be on the top of your agenda. But the film, which landed on HBO recently, offers decent suspense and a solid performance from Emma Thompson. Just put on some thick socks before you press ...
The Beginning Of St. Therese Church In Waynedale
February is notable for various cultural celebrations and historical observances. But since the Waynedale Community is celebrating its 105th Anniversary, I decided to trace the origins of St. Therese, Church of the Little Flower, in Waynedale. The local Catholic community began in 1937 when Bishop John F. Noll purchased a wooded plot of ground in the ...
I Give Amanda Seyfried Best Actress For The ‘Testament of Ann Lee’: At The Movies With Kasey
With awards season underway, I have been closely watching who wins in the Best Actress categories. I have seen many outstanding performances this year, but have been surprised by some of the nominations and some of the “snubs.” To start, Rose Byrne won a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy for If ...
‘The Rip’ & ‘Bugonia’ Showcase Skilled Collaborators: At The Movies With Kasey
Sometimes, if the movie you really want to see (for example, The Testament of Ann Lee) is still in limited release, you have to settle for a new action movie on Netflix. The Rip caught my attention because it is the first in the genre costarring besties and frequent collaborators Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. The ...
The Mail Must Go Through!
The above phrase is rooted in the dedication of postal carriers, popularized by an 1885 poem by Joaquin Miller about the challenging Pony Express, and later adopted as an unofficial United States Postal Service motto. I decided to write about “National Thank Your Mailman Day” observed on Feb. 4. But you can observe the occasion on ...
