I don't know exactly what happened in this case, but I do know that colleague @JRehwaldSGF provided tremendous insight on a federal court case in which a man at a homeless camp alleges a Springfield police officer used excessive force in subduing him.

Do you know what a "cranky" is? It's an old art form revived by Springfield's Sandi Green-Baker. She'll be performing at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 17, at the Library Center. Story by Kathleen O'Dell, of the Springfield Citizen. Photos and video by @JymWilson

@thePotters_clay @sgfcitizen @realMikeLindell @jack_mcgee_ Ok, I've read the headline and, yes, it's fair and balanced. Do you take issue with the word "conservative"? Do you take issue with the words "election denier"? If anything, I would expect criticism from those on the other side of the issue for describing him this way.

If you like racing you'll love this story by freelancer Kathleen O'Dell. Photos by Jym Wilson. I've never been to this quarter-mile banked track at the edge of town. But it sounds like fun!

Normally the Springfield Daily Citizen would not name the person beaten in a domestic violence attack. But Renee Goodwin wanted to be named. And she did not want to be called a victim. "I'm a survivor," she told @JRehwaldSGF

"He was just love and light." A young, deaf homeless man took his own life. His friends are staggered by the loss, wishing that he'd been able to hear the sound of his great big infectious laugh. Story by @JRehwaldSGF

What? A fish that can breathe air and survive out of water for up to four days, if it stays moist! And it's been found in Missouri! I think I saw one thumbing its way along Interstate 44. Story by Carly Randles

Bone-chilling and hard-nosed reporting by colleague @JRehwaldSGF on domestic violence and a murder-suicide. He told her he wouldn't be in jail long and he was right.

Colleague @JRehwaldSGF takes a close look at why victims of domestic assault often refuse to testify against their abuser. Some of the reasons might surprise you.

Joe Hadsall is my newest newsroom colleague. He is our business reporter. He started yesterday. It's going to be fun! He's already made the infamous newsroom Quote Wall.
