We have been asked this question multiple times, so we wanted to provide an official response regarding whether we have hired a new reporter.

A recent article mentioned a well-known Cedar County resident as a reporter for the Cedar County Republican. While we are excited to confirm that we have hired a new freelance reporter, the individual named in the St. Clair County Courier article is not our new hire.

Stay tuned— we will be introducing our newest team member in an upcoming issue.

🚨 Friendly Reminder from Your Police Department

This is a stop sign. It’s a big red octagon with four important letters: S-T-O-P.

It means you are required by law to come to a complete stop before proceeding through the intersection. Rolling through a stop sign also known as a “California Stop” doesn’t count, we are in Missouri not California.

Stopping completely helps prevent accidents, keeps pedestrians safe, and not getting a ticket!!

Let’s all do our part to keep our community safe. Please stop at stop signs. It’s simple!
