My own opinion: Ralph Waggener on the tax 'I hear people say that it is unfair to say this is for our children. Well, I'm sorry, but, yes, this is the only thing this is about. In my mind, I would feel guilty not voting for the nickel tax; and, yes, because it is for the children.'-RRW By Ralph R. Waggener This is my answer to Mitch McKinley about unfair taxes: The only fair tax is one that you are not paying. No tax seems fair to anyone who is paying it. I understand your feelings.But the people that hurt by not building the new school are the teachers and principals and the students who seem to be doing an outstanding job, not the school board.

Personal reflections for voting for nickel tax "While the citizens of Adair County all stand to gain in the long run, it is really the children who will be the main beneficiaries." - Darrell Treece, urging a YES vote By Darrell Treece Over the past four (4) weeks I have tried to provide the facts about how the facility needs of the Adair County Schools are determined. In addition, information about school district funding, financing of school construction and the school district's role in economic development have been provided. In this article I want to do a personal reflection on the facility issue and my reasons for avidly promoting the nickel tax. From a small school background I grew up in a rural community and went to an eight (8) room elementary with about 200 students. My high school was much larger - about 275 students. My parents and one grandfather were teachers and my other grandfather was a dairy farmer. From the '60s until the late '90s, I was heavily involved in farming. At one time or another during those years I raised from 5 to 40 acres of tobacco, milked 100+ cows, raised beef cattle, pepper and tomatoes and custom baled 25,000 - 30,000 bales of hay per year.

Father: Whole county should proud of stork pin recipients About: Stork pin recipients To ColumbiaMagazine.com: As the father of the baby Robin, Lee, and Rick delivered, I am proud of these three in everything they did that morning. We felt the whole time that we were in good hands, before, during, and after the delivery. Being involved in emergency services myself, I have always looked at EMS workers as being family. But now I have a special liking to these three because of their care that was given almost a year ago. I think the whole county, not just my family, should be proud to have people like Robin, Lee, and Rick around to take care of us in our time of need. s/Justin Bailey 2009-12-10 10:37:05 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Letter: Another perspective on hypnosis by Tonya Dunn I enjoyed reading Carol Perkins' item on her experience with hypnotism and I have a few comments. I have been studying hypnosis for over a year (as I intend to specialize in this type of therapy) and have conducted several very successful individual hypnosis sessions. I have a great deal of interest in the subject of hypnosis and the subconscious and would like to discuss why I think the group experience didn't help her.

In a sad hour, the Adair County Way at its finest The search for a drowning victim, a hero on a grand scale himself, brought together the best technology, the best coordination of any search effort in recent times. In the end, the openness to receive help from any quarter let the Green River Cowboys use special skills to bring closure to a search when Jeff Hatcher found his friend 8.5 miles downstream in still swift Harrods Fork Creek. Click on headline for full story, plus updates and photo(s) as added By Ed Waggener Wednesday, December 9, 2009, is a day few Adair Countians will ever forget. It began with a frantic call Tuesday night, just after 7pm, from a wife stranded in a pickup in flood-swollen Casey Creek, and a rescue some two hours later by members of the Breeding Area Volunteer Fire Department, the first response unit on the scene, and the subsequent search for her husband, who had been called to rescue her. The search ended some 15 hours later, after the assembly of search parties whose numbers are estimated at 75-80 or more by Adair County Emergency Management Coordinator Greg Thomas. It concluded after a 30-minute search by close friends of the drowning victim, cowboys like Bill Grover, the hero who drowned trying to save his wife. Jeff Hatcher, the cowboy who located the victim, had responded to a call from another of the cowboys, Barry Jones, and reported to the command post of the search effort, took an assignment, and found the remains of his friend after 30 minutes searching in the still raging Harrods Fork Creek.
