Many questions are swirling about Doug Bagby's City Manager contract since KFVS-TV reported that "Bagby's Remaining Contract" was $270,000. The Daily American Republic regurgitated the same information; quoting David Silverberg in today's paper "The decision by the new coalition on the Poplar Bluff City Council to fire City Manager Doug Bagby will cost the city nearly $278,000 in salary he still must be paid under his contract." Here's the problem: Missouri has laws and a constitution. But before we get to that, let's look at the contract Mr. Bagby is quoting from dated August 26, 2003: 2. Term. The initial term of this agreement shall be for a period of three (3) years, and shall begin on September 1, 2003

[Paid Advertisement] No matter whether you love wine or you are on the fence about it, the Wine Rack has the perfect answer for you: a wine tasting. This Wednesday evening from 5pm - 9pm you can sample three different wines for $8. Wine tastings are a great way for you and friends to discover new favorites and better understand the differences between a Cabernet and a Shiraz, a Chardonnay and a Riesling (the specific wine-types and vintner-brands have not been selected for the tasting). You can come to sample the wines only, or along with a lovely meal from their recently revised menu. See you at the Wine Rack!

Recently, the hit game "Clash of Clans" announced a karaoke contest to induce people to download their new update "Clan Wars". Their theme song is, annoying and funny. The contest winners get 5000 gems (about $100 value) for each clan member: http://youtu.be/L38HdTO1VTs Because my son, Ben, and his friend Rye entered their version of the idiocy, I thought that I'd give a platform for other area karaoke entries. If your clan created a karaoke, please post the link in the comments and then I will move them into the main article. http://youtu.be/7fV_xPV3dLg
