Hello Metropolis, Massac County and Beyond!
Good morning! We are so glad to have you with us.
Today, we’re asking for a little help from our friends. We want to grow our circle, and we’re looking to you—our loyal readers and subscribers—to help us spread the word about the WMOK Yellow Sheet.
A Little History: What is the Yellow Sheet?
For generations, the “Yellow Sheet” has been a staple of breakfast tables and shop counters across Massac County. It started as a simple, printed way to keep our community connected—bringing you the local news, farm reports, and sports updates that matter most to Massac County.
While the world has changed since WMOK first took to the airwaves from the Massac Theater stage in 1951, our mission hasn’t. The Yellow Sheet remains the heartbeat of our local reporting, now delivered digitally to keep you informed in real-time, right where you are.

As we recognize Stress Awareness Month each April, it’s an opportunity to reflect on something that touches all of us—stress. We often find ourselves in a whirlwind of daily demands, responsibilities, and expectations that can weigh heavily on our minds and bodies. It’s essential to pause and think about what specifically triggers our stress.
Is it work-related pressures, personal relationships, or perhaps the overwhelming flow of information in our digital lives? Identifying these stressors is a crucial step toward understanding ourselves better. Self-awareness allows us to pinpoint the sources of our anxiety, enabling us to confront them head-on rather than letting them linger in the background.
Once we’ve recognized the things that stress us, we can explore ways to either resolve these issues or develop healthier coping mechanisms. This might include setting realistic boundaries at work, prioritizing self-care, or practicing mindfulness and relaxation techniques. Perhaps it’s about learning to communicate our feelings more openly or engaging in activities that bring us joy and tranquility.
By fostering a deeper awareness of our stressors, we arm ourselves with the tools necessary to navigate life’s challenges more effectively. Remember, it’s not just about seeking solutions but also about cultivating resilience and finding balance. Let’s use this month to nurture a greater understanding of ourselves and embrace the journey toward managing stress in a healthier way.
