Coach Graves: A great coach, a great man To ColumbiaMagazine.com: I wanted to publicly say how lucky we are as a community to have Coach Graves as the Adair County High School Football Coach. Not only is he a great coach, but he is a great man. If one is to lead by example, Coach Graves is the best coach in the state, and Adair County is lucky to have him. His latest gesture of teamwork was yesterday when he brought the Adair County Marching Band Gatorade during band camp. The band and the football team under Coach Graves leadership have forged a bond of school spirit and mutual respect! We are grateful for the dedication of Coach Graves as well as Adair County Band Director Tom Case as they work together to create an ADAIR we can all be proud of, not only on the fields, but off. Thanks for all you do, Coach Graves! s/Band Mom - Shamarie Claiborne 2010-07-20 13:54:01 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

"I stayed until 9 o'clock," she said, "and thought it was over, and went home," she said. But County Roads Superintendent Jobe Darnell said that he received a call after he had returned home that a large tree was down across Sulpher Creek RD (District 1 in Northeast Adair County). The job was so big that a backhoe was needed, and Mitchell Rooks was called in to help. That obstruction was not removed until sometime between 3am and 4am this morning, July 20, 2010. "Jobe said that when he got back to the county highway garage, and saw what time it was," he decided it was 'almost time to go to work,' so he just stayed," Judge Melton said. 2010-07-20 12:11:31 | Comments | Printable version
