Truly a tragedy of major proportions. Our hearts and sympathy obviously go out to the dead, the wounded and their families.

In fact, you’re one of more than 23 million other Americans who have it. Did you know that diabetes is a leading cause of heart disease and stroke, kidney disease, blindness and circulatory problems? Unfortunately, diabetes continues to be a growing problem in the United States.

You might have heard about it, especially if you’re a student, a fan or a parent. We carried a brief mention of the suspensions Wednesday morning on the sports page in advances on area games involving Carthage and Webb City.
