Dawn Barns, guest columnist: Family, not money, fills void
In today’s tough economic times, it would be easy to complain and not look at all the things we should be thankful for. I have found that when money is tight, and the cost of daily living has risen, the things we can buy or possess are not the most important.
-
Jessica Schreindl, guest columnist: Media has been unfair to female politicians
I’m not a big fan of Sarah Palin — in fact, I’m not a fan at all. Palin, like Bush before her, is a neo-con, hell bent on spreading democracy by military might while at the same time ridding the world of evildoers.
The fact that Palin is a neo-con is no secret.

Vince Lindstrom, guest columnist: Pray for peace for all faiths, all religions
The Thanksgiving holiday is always a special time. It means family, good food and an opportunity to reflect on our blessings.
This year I am especially thankful for the opportunity to celebrate our sister city relationship with Bethlehem. The city of Bethlehem is a very special place for so many people.
-
Carol Stark: Essay winners all undaunted
My sons both say Thanksgiving is their favorite holiday. No stress, just a lot of good food.
I might agree, if I wasn’t the one fixing the food. The payoff comes at the end of the meal, when the boys’ compliments are as sweet as the pecan pie.

Dave Woods: Property rights debated online
Members of the Joplin City Council, Joplin resident William “Bud” Wirick and the Globe’s editorial board found themselves — ourselves — under fire this week on our comments forum.
-
Ken Midkiff, guest columnist: Absolutely nothing further from the truth
The Missouri Pork Producers Association, the Poultry Federation and other advocates for agribusiness have labeled those concerned about concentrated animal feeding operation as “anti-CAFO”.
-
Marian Kelly, guest columnist: I ‘ink,’ therefore I am
I am a fairly intelligent being, yet there exists a sizable list of things I don’t expect to ever understand. Trigonometry leaps to mind. Also improvisational jazz. And pants that don’t come all the way up to your waist — but then I could fill an entire column with fashion trends that elude me.
-
Elliot Denniston, guest columnist: Health insurance and your survival
A recently published study shows how very dangerous it is not to have health insurance. Harvard Medical School and the Cambridge Health Alliance have just published research showing that 45,000 Americans die every year because they don’t have the insurance (published online by the American Journal of Public Health).
-
Carol Stark: Students find their voice
Rhiannon Riesenmy’s life calling probably won’t lead her into the world of journalism.
She has a few other careers in mind, none that include a reporter’s notebook.
-
Dave Woods: Apartment still drawing fire
-
 Carol Stark: Candid talk paves way for 2010w/ Community Conversation interview audio
Before I left for China, Missouri House Speaker Ron Richard asked if he could bring a few committee chairs to the Globe to meet members of the editorial board.
-
Dave Woods: Global warming debate heats up online
Emily Robinson is disappointed in The Joplin Globe. Last week, the Globe published a letter to the editor from the former Missouri resident, and member of the Union of Concerned Scientists in Chicago, calling the editorial board on the carpet for our Oct. 20 In Our View editorial concerning America’s participation in the Copenhagen Treaty.
-
Jason Eberhart-Phillips, guest columnist: A mistake could have a devastating effect
It is my belief that our governor, Jay Nixon, of Missouri, is one of the very few officials who is taking very appropriate actions in starting actions to help correct one of many problems leading to the present dilemma.
-
Konrad Heid, guest columnist: Flying Joplin is still a good deal
Last week, my wife and I made a short return to Joplin first via Delta to K.C., then Great Lakes Airline to Joplin.
-
Dave Woods: Prospect of Palin appearance sparks debate
She’s been hooked with a lot of nicknames: Caribou Barbie, the Wicked Witch of Wasilla, Gov. Mooselini and more than a few names unsuitable to print in a family newspaper.
-
Carol Stark: Is China poised for change?
Before I left for China, a friend asked me to consider whether I thought the country could realistically be governed as a democracy.
-
Voices: Globalist fantasy
Consider the plight of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. His main ally is led by a militarily and naively inexperienced fantasizing globalist who thinks he can charm the world by appeasing Muslim terrorists and other bellicose countries such as Russia, China and North Korea.
-
Voices: Best season
High school sports have become an important part of most communities. Through these programs, our kids are suppose to learn discipline, work ethics and teamwork while they create character traits such as integrity, perseverance and honor.
-
Voices: Opera opportunity
Recently, my wife and I sat in a darkened and virtually empty movie theater at Hollywood 14 in Joplin waiting for commencement of a high definition telecast of a performance from the Metropolitan Opera in Lincoln Center in New York City.
