Jamey Hayes voices support for third agriculture teacher

'Not all students are going to have the opportunity or desire to go to college. . . FFA helps to turn these children into hardworking adults. In these hard economic times many students who go on to college are graduating and not finding employment, such skills would also be of value to them in filling that void' - JAMEY HAYES

By Jamey Hayes
Personal opinion of the writer

- To - Adair County High School Site Based Decision Making Council
As a life long resident and farm owner here in Adair County I would like to take this opportunity to voice my support for keeping the third agricultural teacher in the FFA program.

FFA is an asset to the curriculum at the Adair County High School. These students learn things that they can fall back on later in life.

Doesn't want FFA program put on chopping block

By Jennifer Bright
Personal commentary of the writer

To Whom it May Concern: I am not able to attend the meeting Monday evening concerning Adair County's FFA chapter due to previous obligations. However, I would like to voice my opinion on this matter. I am a former member/officer of the Adair Co. FFA and to see my chapter being put upon the "chopping block" truly disheartens me. FFA is not simply a club you sign up for while in high school, it is a life-long commitment; a lifestyle.

Whoever's dumping kittens, stop it!

Mary Cooley writes:

Whoever is dumping baby kittens on me, please quit!I'm feeding two now and I'd like somebody to get them. I don't want them, but I want them to have good homes. Jackie, the littler kitten, will sit on your lap and purr. The other one needs someone who is good at calming down kittens. It won't let anyone near it. Carries on something crazy. I know they were dumped on me. The last one was put inside the door of the closed-in back porch, so I know someone did it on purpose. Call 270-384-2730. to adopt a kitten.

Comment: WRH paycuts should start at top, not with little people

Comments re article 53809 Mary Bardin What a way to show appreciation Crystal Kimbler writes:
It is my opinion that Pay cuts/layoffs should start at the top of the scale not with the little people who are currently struggling as it is and not with the ones who have dedicated 10-30 years as underpaid workers. The pockets need to be hit where the pockets can afford to be hit. --Crystal Kimbler
Thanks, Crystal: Well said. Westlake has been notorious for low paid to the people who could make them look so good - the very lowest tier of workers. At the same time, some of been paid multiples of what a medical school dean would make - or so it's heard. The unfortunate thing is that detailed payments from this public institution have not been easy to obtain. - EW

Ann appointed two great board members

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:
I think Ann selected two great board members. I sat on a couple of boards with Craig Pyles and he's great in the financial area. - Barbara Shepherd
Thanks, Barbara Shepherd: There was a livelier discussion last night with new members Richard Grant and Craig Pyles aboard. Even the incumbents spoke with passion - and maintained civil discourse with those opposed to their views. Perhaps a lesson has been learned on autocratic tactics. Maybe there's a modicum of hope that what should be the county's number one business - healthcare should be greater even than agriculture if handled right - will be saved. -EW

Mary Bardin: What a way to show appreciation!

Mary Bardin writes:
WOW! We have such a dedicated staff, what a great way to show our appreciation for everything they do. First of all, most of them have worked many many years without a pay raise, now we cut their salary, take away their benefits (what little they had) and then make them thankful they have a job. I suppose I did not realize their salaries could save our local hospital. We desperately need a hospital, but to run a hospital we need dedicated, caring employees. Where do these thoughts come from to take everything from the employees. I heard the Spectrum people promise raises would be given, when they were being bought, and looked at some employee faces. They were amazed they would finally get a raise. I would hate to see their faces when they find they are going to sustain such a drastic reduction in funds to feed their families. I have tried to keep my mouth shut in the hospital matter, but had to voice my opinion on this. Think about it, people. How are you going to enjoy being cared for by people that have really been stepped on and pushed into the ground? - Mary Bardin

Pray for Westlake: Ask God for a miracle

Says 'It is sickening to me to think that after everything we have put into this hospital, someone would even suggest taking the brunt of this out on all the employees, rather than looking at who is getting paid to do a whole lot of nothing." - NICOLE BELL

By Nicole Bell
Writer's personal commentary

Please, everyone pray for our hospital. Major changes are being proposed, ones that will greatly impact the employees, their families, and our ability to provide quality care to our patients. Please pray that a miracle happens, that funds are provided that can keep our hospital going. Otherwise, the hospital will either close, or will stay open at the expense of the employees that have poured their hearts and souls into keeping it open.
