Likes new ideas brought to community From Off

Robert W. Flowers writes:
I guess I have been one to tease about someone being from "off." I promise that I never meant it to be offensive. Some of my very best friends are from "off." I appreciate the comments of Charles Marshburn. I love my friends Randy and Mert Middlecamp and all others too numerous to mention. I like new ideas and as a new member to the city council, I assure all that I welcome new ideas. The year 2011 will present some fiscal restraints but, together, whether from here or "off," we can make our community a better place to live and raise our families. -Robert W. Flowers

Doesn't understand why more and more from off

Comments re article 41548: Nearly every Adair Countian is from off nowCharles Marshburn writes:
Being one of those "from off," I don't understand the lady's remark. -Charles Marshburn
Thanks. And the Adair County Assimilation urges any who don't understand, at first reading, what's mumbled in plain Adair County English. To explain: Since the old Adair Memorial Hospital closed, where some 600 babies were born each year, Adair County has not had its own maternity clinic. Babies are born to Adair County parents, elsewhere, in Glasgow, Somerset, Elizabethtown and other far off places, making Adair Countians strictly and technically speaking, natives of those distant lands. Of course it doesn't have to be. Ought not be. And should change, but it will take a much greater public involvement in hospital affairs, and greater concern for all health issues than Adair County seems yet ready to tackle. -EW
