Ed, no apologies needed about any topic. You print what people are talking about, which is as it should be. I guess I'm always in a bit of a hurry to get on with business - 'Okay, we'll address that. Now, what about...' We are a typical small town where a twist on the old joke usually applies - our issues are like the weather; 'everybody talks about it but nobody does anything about it'. I still think we ought to try our luck with Adair County's Future Problem Solving team. This will be their town (we hope) before long. Get them involved. Give them a problem, (the pillars?), a budget, significant leeway, and let them have at it. Thanks for listening. --Peggy Fudge
