Carol Perkins: The Window Previous Column: Away They Go! By Carol Perkins I wish I could hear all the funny stories that have happened to you and could compile them into a book. Laughter is good medicine! The following happened to a good friend, who told a group of us this account as we shared a Thanksgiving lunch. I will call her Susie rather than her real name, sparing her from recognizable fame! Susie's son called. "Can you go to the house and meet the guy coming to repair the bedroom window?" Susie pulled into the driveway and waited. Soon, a man in a regular-sized car arrived and rolled down the window. "Is this Miss Amanda's house?"

Adair Co. High School Football Coach resigns From Jason Faulkner, Superintendent Adair County Schools Steve Stonebreaker, the head football coach at Adair County High School, announced his resignation on Monday, December 2, 2024. He informed me and the school's administration of his decision to step down in order to accept the head football coach position at Danville Independent High School. Coach Stonebreaker has been a committed member of the Adair County High School community for the past two years. During his tenure, he made remarkable contributions to the football program, highlighted by consecutive winning seasons and tying the record for the most wins in the school's history last season. "On behalf of the entire Adair County School District staff, I want to express our gratitude to Coach Stonebreaker for his efforts with our football program over the last two seasons. He is an exceptional educator, an outstanding football coach, and an even better role model for our students. We wish him the best in his future endeavors, and he will certainly be missed." I met with our football team yesterday and assured them that we will begin the search process right away. Our goal moving forward is to find the most suitable coach for our players and to build upon the solid foundation established over the last two seasons. I encourage our players to keep training and developing during this offseason, and to BE THE REASON WE WIN!

Travel: A day trip to Mainz While traveling in Germany, the Arnold family took a day trip to the city of Mainz, the capital and largest city of the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. While they where there, they visited Mainz Cathedral and a Christmas market. Veronica writes, "Mainz Cathedral is catholic cathedral which has undergone many renovations showing Romanesque (original), Gothic (chapels and bell towers), and Baroque (roof) architecture. Of course over time, wars and fires have damaged this church, but the church keeps fixing and trying to restore that which was destroyed. Besides a cool looking building, this church was a welcome visit to get out of the cold for a while... thankful that all across Europe, often you can step inside churches to get a quick respite from the weather."
