Former Michigan residents thinks CWC good, even better than ACES Finds Adair County school excellent; thinks tax proposal is being rushed. Says, "It is people, not the building, that makes the difference." About: John Halsey: All for new school but thinks information needed From Mrs. Kimberly Cohoon and family I would like to respectfully submit an "outsider looking in" perspective on the entire Colonel William Casey issue. We moved here in June of 2008 from Michigan. We have two daughters, ages 11 and 6, who are attending Adair County Schools. I also have a daughter age 17 and a son age 16 who are attending school in Michigan, in a large and well-to-do suburb of Grand Rapids to be exact. Michigan schools pride themselves on being groundbreaking and "state of the art." We were assured by the school system that our girls would be "at least one year ahead" of Adair County's schools when our girls arrived. Imagine our shock when we discovered our girls were a year behind in their educational progress when compared to where your Adair students were at! Your teachers and staff at ACES worked with our older daughter all year, catching her up and exceeding all requirements necessary for her to pass to sixth grade. It was very impressive teamwork.

Writer against school tax proposal About: Wants list of those who don't want tax To ColumbiaMagazine.com: Quote: "Regardless of how the tax issue is stated, as I see it, the election comes down to being for or against the children, being for or against education, being for or against progresss in Adair Co. -EW"I can't disagree more. There are two issues combined here:
Let's see ya try to get that passed! LOLOL For all of the rhetoric going around, you're not going to guilt me into feeling bad for voting against an unfair tax. Thanks for your times/Bill Nobles Thanks. It is difficult to understand, seeing many of the names on the list we've published, how you can see those for the tax as not having to bear the burden of it. It seems to me that those with some of the very biggest property tax bills are speaking out in favor of the tax. Too, there is no provision in Kentucky statutes for local sales taxes. Hope you'll give the matter more serious thought. With no workable alternative in sight, regardless of how the tax issue is stated, as I see it, the election comes down to being for or against the children, being for or against education, being for or against progress in Adair Co." -EW 2009-12-07 13:49:05 | Comments | Printable version

Writer leaning to YES, but is still weighing the question CM received this letter from "JR," with no contact information with some interesting angles on the school tax question: Personally I will more than likely vote for the tax. I'm still looking at both sides. There is no question that we need a new school and I do not see another way to raise the funds. Unless I see a better solution I will be voting for the tax. However, to be fair, I think only property owners should be allowed to vote. I just do not think it is fair that someone who will not be paying for this school can vote for others to pay for it.Voting on the Nickel Tax is now being conducted in the Adair County Court Clerk's office on Absentee Voting Machines. The election is Tuesday, December 15, 2009, with polls open from 6am to 6pmCT. 2009-12-07 11:27:24 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Education

Ralph Waggener: Spend a nickel, save a dime An editorial from the Volume 4, Number 9, issue of It's Just for a Smile News, distributed throughout Adair County, KY, with an added press run of 1, 000 for this issue, a total of 4,500 in all. The article has been reprinted following requests from those unable to get one of the copies of the paper Click on headline for full article, photo(s) By Ralph R. Waggener, editorIt's Just for a Smile News About Colonel William Casey (CWC) and some of its problems: It has the old style windows that tilt out with no insulated glass. The air conditioning units are window units, not central. The building has a flat roof (that was the only way to build 48 years ago), so there is no way to run duct work for a central heat and air unit which would be less expensive. The new high school has a hybrid system - part water source and part geothermal. The new ACES has all geothermal and the new "nickel" school will have a geothermal system as well.

Principal sends personal plea for new Col. Casey school Dear Editor: I have written one letter earlier stating the facts and concerns that make a new school to replace Col. Wm. Casey needed. This letter is more about my personal plea to the citizens of our county. I am not a political person and do not have all of the answers regarding the legal ramifications of the additional tax. I know that many have expressed mistrust of those who propose this effort. I truly do not see that. I see a group of men and women who are commissioned to provide the best education possible to the children of our community. I truly feel that this measure is an attempt to do that and nothing more. The funds from this tax have been explained to me and to the public time and time again. The money that we put forward will remain right here in Adair County and benefit our children now and for years to come.

Voting YES. Daughter attended CWC for three years About: CWC List, Community Working for Children, grows Ed, My husband, Tony, and I would like to add our names to the list in support of the nickel tax for the new school. Our daughter attended Col. Wm. Casey for 3 years, and there were lots of days that I would dress her in layers to keep her warm. We, as parents, support this tax. But, even if we did not have children, we would still vote YES. These people that say, "I don't have kids. Why should I have to pay?", really upset me. It doesn't have to be your child. Just any child. Surely you have family, friends, or neighbors, with small children. So, I along with my husband, as well as lots of other people, urge everyone to vote YES on Dec. 15th. We need to do all that we can for our children. They are our future. s/Rebecca Beard 2009-12-07 07:10:19 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Education

Heroes welcome for National Champions at 5pmCT today! Celebration for National Champions Lindsey Wilson Men's Soccer Team! at Cralle Student Union Building, 420 Spickard DR, Columbia, KYat 5pmCT, Monday, December 7, 2009 To ColumbiaMagazine.com: As you probably already know, our men's soccer team captured the program's eighth NAIA national title on Saturday in Fresno, CA. Our young men and coaching staff represented Lindsey Wilson incredibly well both on and off the field throughout the week. The team is scheduled to arrive back to campus between 11 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. CT on Sunday. Due to finals beginning Monday morning and the late hour of their arrival tonight, we felt that a gathering to welcome home our national champions would be better served to be postponed until Monday, December 7, 2009. So, we will gather in the SUB, at 420 Spickard DR, at 5pmCT on Monday, December to to celebrate their terrific accomplishment. BR>Please pass the word and we'll see you there, s/Chris WellsLindsey Wilson College Sports Information Director 2009-12-07 04:53:28 | Comments | Printable version
JIM: Commercialized Christmas lamented, in 1909 By "Jim" Long before shopping malls, Black Friday, and the advent of a Christmas shopping season that starts in July and ends in June, there was...the commercialized Christmas tree. Journalist Jacob Riis of Century Magazine didn't like this development, not one bit, and he took a roundhouse right at it in a pithy essay reprinted in the December 29, 1909 Adair County News: "The Christmas Tree Every time I see a Christmas tree studded with electric lights, garlands of tinsel gold festooning every branch, and hung with the hundred costly knickknacks the storekeepers invent each year 'to make the trade' until the tree itself disappears entirely under its burden, I have a feeling that fraud has been practiced on the kindly spirit of Yule.Some weeks later, a lengthy article reprinted from an unattributed newspaper appeared in the News under the headline "The Good Old Days." The introductory sentence, "How would you like to return to the "Good Old Days..." led the author into several digs, swipes, snipes, and sneers at modern life before getting around to condemning the commercialization of Christmas, circa 1909: Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2009-12-07 04:21:17 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Jim: History

No children in school, but has vested interest in well-being of community About: Writer agrees that tax may not be fairest but will vote for kids To ColumbiaMagazine.com: I'm with Billy Joe on this one. The school is in bad shape, not because of poor care, but because it's simply old. It's possible there are things that could have been done over the long life of the school to extend it's use a few years. But if there were, they were not. Instead of looking at what should have been done we need to look at what should be done now. The issue is to provide a decent, safe facility for our children. I don't have any children in the school system, but I do have a vested interest in the continued well-being of our community. s/George Kolbenschlag 2009-12-07 03:24:10 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
Writer wants shower of Christmas Cards for Daniel To ColumbiaMagazine.com: I know that most everyone remembers Daniel Hutcheson. He has recently returned home from Chicago Children's Hospital after yet another surgery. He has now completed his 54th) I think that number is correct. Daniel really enjoys receiving mail, especially Christmas cards. A few years ago, Westlake Primary Care asked that everyone they knew there, please send him a Christmas card and they did. He still has them on his bedroom wall. I thought that it would be a great idea if anyone that reads Columbia Magazine would please send a card to Daniel. I mentioned this to his mother at church this morning and she loved the idea. His address is Daniel Hutcheson, 480 Lay Road, Columbia, KY 42728. Thank you so much! s/Cathy Martin 2009-12-07 03:13:19 | Comments | Printable version
John Halsey: All for new school, but thinks information needed Writer thinks stating the tax issue being as being for or against kids is over the line. But we think that is exactly what the issue, this time, is; that this issue is an emotional one. It is purely and simply about Kids. About Columbia kids and Knifley kids. About all the children of Adair County. And it is about education and progress. -CM About: Wants list of those who don't want tax Ed, I feel you've stepped over the line. Those who question the tax are not against children, education, progress or God, Mother and apple pie for that matter. I for one resent the feeling of being herded into supporting something on the basis of emotional arm twisting and a community led guilt trip.
