Doug's List: Add EMTs, first responders Doug's List "They are awesome -KC About: Ordinary people who give of themselvesbr and make Adair County a better place By Kelly Crawhorn I think Doug may have alluded to this, but can we add the emergency personnel and first responders?Last week, my young nephew wrecked flipping his car several times and landing top down in the construction area of 61 South. The sheriff's department personnel and EMTs at the scene were so gracious and had such good attitudes. This was a scared young man and these people were very understanding, courteous, and dowright personable in making sure he was okay. I am sure there are places where accidents happen frequently and the people involved are just another number. But to our guys and gals in Adair County, each person is a real human being with feelings and emotions that the emergency personnel respect. They are awesome! -Kelly Crawhorn 2009-12-11 15:35:39 | Comments | Printable version

Wonderful things happen in small towns About: Kathy Keith recognizes 3 who were heroes Dec. 10, 2009 To ColumbiaMagazine.com: Our Sunday School lesson last week was from the little book of Micah in the Old Testament where the prophet Micah foretold that the Messiah would be born in the little town of Bethlehem. We subtitled our lesson "Wonderful things can happen in small towns."In chapter 6 of that same little book, there is a verse that says, "He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?"Jesus said it another way, "Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. (And) Love thy neighbor as thyself."When folks around here will go into cold water to help rescue a soul or go out on horseback to help a neighbor in trouble, they are "only" showing love like this.

Dr. Smith asks about school building maintenance About: My own opinion: Ralph Waggener on the tax To ColumbiaMagazine.com: Ralph, I understand your feelings and I'm not going into the for or against issue, but I do have a problem with the obvious negelect this building suffered. Are the other buildings in danger of becoming deteriorated into the same condition? I just can't understand that we have an issue like this building and basically no knowledge of it except the need to tear down and rebuild. I sincerely hope that if this new building is built that proper funds are withheld in the budjet to maintain all of the structures of all the school buildings. s/Roger D.
