Wonders if natatorium will mean swim team for ACHS

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

Maybe with the new LWC swimming pool the Adair county school system will consider a swim team for our kids, if they can work something out with LWC. I think it would be a great opportunity for our kids as Russell County has already taken advantage of this for their students with their own pool.

Something to consider,

Tractor Man appreciates ACGC confidence in him

About: As requested, more advice for The Tractor Man

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

Question for Mrs. Armitage: I thought I had this gardening thing "Mastered" as to the green side up and roots down rule when I ran into the question of what to do when working with deciduous trees in the winter? I appreciate the thought that even I could learn from the learned garden club (ACGC -Adair County Garden Club). I appreciate the confidence you have in my learning potential.
