January 18, 1978 Around Adair with Ed Waggener

This article first appeared in the January 18, 1978, edition of the Daily Statesman. Topics included road clearing from recent snows, the Beautification project, a push to paint the Checker Room, and a call for recognition from Christine's Vice Mayor A.L. Sinclair. --Pen

By Ed Waggener

He ain't done nothing yet
Norman Coomer was named Judge Pro-Tem last Friday by Judge James Brock. Tuesday afternoon, his sister, Bea Beard, called him with a complaint. "You've been Judge Pro-Tem for four days now and I haven't seen anything you've done yet," she scolded. "We've got snow on the Square in front of the restaurant and mother wants it moved." The feigned anger didn't move Judge Coomer at all. He doesn't serve as the chief executive except when Judge Brock is out of the County or incapacitated. But he pretended seriousness. "That's not my department," he answered, "you call Frankfort for that. If they're not on the job by three o'clock, call Coy (Mayor Downey), and he'll take care of your problem."

He ain't even held office and already he knows how to pass the buck, and that proves that Judge Pro-Tem Coomer was the right man for the job. He'll go far in politics.

They're really not passing the buck
They really not passing the buck at the courthouse. The two county graders have been out trying to clear county roads, but Judge Brock says that the two have just not been enough. "We need another one," he said, and indicated that the County might be able to secure a surplus one at a bargain.

New enthusiasm for Beautification Program
The success of the Inaugural Celebration has led to new thinking about whether or not the Beautification Committee can accomplish its goals.

Rolling Prayer Drive for Summit Manor

By Bro. Steve Pescosolido, Pastor, Trinity UMC
President, Adair County Ministerial Association

As we can see by the report from our Lake Cumberland District Health Department, we have the most persons sick with the COVID-19 virus than any of the other 9 counties in our area. We know (and this is on our minds and on our hearts) that many of those cases are residents and front line workers at Summit Manor.

Here is a request that has come I believe from the Lord this morning: Please drive past Summit Manor and pray between 2pmCT and 4pmCT today, April 26, 2020. Please ask God to:
  • 1. Destroy the corona virus (spiritually and medically, it cannot prosper)
  • 2. Heal those infected with it
  • 3. Comfort the families and friends who have lost dear ones to the virus.
  • 4. Guard the residents and staff who do not have it
If circumstances were different we could do a Prayer Walk around or through the entire facility (like we do for the schools). But that is not wise in these circumstances. However, a Prayer Drive should be safe as long as folks stay in their cars and drive by the site without stopping. Of course God hears our prayers from wherever we are. But I am led to ask Adair County to pray this way today. Thank you for considering this.
