Hospital one of most critical issues community may ever face Mike Newton comments Westlake Hospital IS one of this county's most valuable assets...we have absolutely no chance of having any sort of economic growth without this facility. I can't imagine this county being the only one around without a hospital; however, I think that a lot of us are becoming more and more concerned. (potential closure) I hope this fine community can somehow pull together in order to prevent this potential disaster. Having public meetings at 9:00 AM on a regular workday was inconsiderate and unthoughtful. I hope and pray that this issue can be resolved in order for our community to survive in a lifestyle which it truly deserves. I know that my family, friends, and co-workers appreciate our hospital. We sometimes don't appreciate what we have until one of ours has no medical or emergency healthcare options. This will be one of the most critical issues that this community may ever face.....I hope for the best. Thanks - Mike Newton 2012-07-19 11:38:32 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Commentary
A List of Revolutionary War Veterans Mike Watson writes: In response to a query on CM last week, prompted by the Revolutionary War veterans marker on the Courthouse lawn... A list of Revolutionary War veterans who are known to have lived in Adair County. Some lived and died here; some lived here for a time and moved away; some moved here near the end of life. Several resided in Russell County once it was formed. Some lived very near the county lines and are claimed by more than one county, and rightly so. Any additions and corrections to this list will be greatly appreciated.Note: Click on the article title to view the whole list.
