Josh Brockman. By Mary Bardin Personal Commentary I do not know how many lives have been taken at 61 bypass, but even one is one too many. The past two or three weekends have resulted in accidents at the intersection.

Heather Evans: Agrees with Mary Ann Brown response Heather Evans writes: I have to say I agree. There are a lot of intersections in Adair County. Do they all need rumble strips?!? A warning that a stop light was ahead?!? Come on! Wake up and drive without distractions such as cell phones and putting on your makeup. In my opinion that intersection is clear and visible. It's a terrible tragedy for both parties. But please stop blaming the bypass!!! It is a drivers responsibility to pay attention! My only suggestion, not that people would obey, would be to lower the speed limit or lower it before the intersection. - HEATHER EVANSComment in agreement with: Mary Ann Brown: Drivers should single-task: just drive 2015-03-29 20:02:50 | Comments | Printable version

Happy Tail: Richard Damboise, a hard working man 'I have no doubt that Richie is in heaven caring for the babies until their parents arrive. I know too that he's not sitting still. He's doing something for someone and enjoying his Moxie and peanut butter cups. He's also talking to his two sons and waiting for Del to join him. Hopefully his days of milking cows and cleaning stalls are over but if I know him he would be glad to be doing that too. Rest in Peace Richie Damboise. Don't work too hard.' - PEG SCHAEFFER Click on headline for complete Happy Tail with photo(s).

How many have to die at the Bypass intersections . . . . . . before the focus in this county shifts from unnecessary new road construction to improving safety on the most recent road construction in the county? Personal commentary Several years ago, when Greg and I bought our first new vehicle, several people asked me (as I was the primary driver of said vehicle) if I was afraid of having a wreck and damaging it because of so many people's haphazard driving habits. My reply was that I figured the safest way to drive around town was to assume there was going to be a bomb dropped in front of me any second so I watch traffic flow and my driving.

Letter: Columbia/Adair Utilities Brenda McCoy Harvey writes: During the really cold weather and snow my husband was pretty much unable to walk. We are still trying through Vanderbilt to get a diagnosis. Note: We sympathize. We'd like to propose a law limiting any consumer service bill to no greater than 3x a 12-month average, without written consent from the consumer for the specific overage. Shifting the burden to the organization when usage is way outside a normal range would effectively end stories of runaway water and phone bills. --Pen 2015-03-29 08:43:32 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
