Phillip Coffey - Silent Shoutout

SILENT SHOUTOUT - By Phillip Coffey
Often the silent that now lie forever quietly among us
That fate has chosen to serve and sacrifice the most
While flags and banners are waved for all of those
Who left maybe, unwillingly from one of the assigned coast.

Here is a salute to all that have served - whatever the detail be
But bow briefly to all those that 'stood' steadfastly in the heat of battle
Lifetime of inner struggles - decades after all the horrors encountered
Now a big silent shoutout to the many that did not survive the conflict.

Center of US population to be announced Nov 16

The center of population is the place where an imaginary, flat, weightless and rigid map of the United States would balance perfectly if everyone weighed the same...

On Tuesday, November 16, 2021, look for the U.S. Census Bureau to announce where the U.S. center of population was in last year's 2020 census. This is a way to summarize population shifts every decade.

The colonial town of Chestertown, Maryland, near the Chesapeake Bay was once a major port for the trade of tobacco and enslaved people and was the center of population in the new United States in 1790 when the first census was taken. About 3.9 million people lived in the 13 original colonies along the Atlantic coast.

In the 230 years since, the nation grew and expanded, and the center of the U.S. population marched steadily westward -- through Ohio, Indiana, and then Illinois. In recent decades, it's tilted to the Southwest as people moved to the Sun Belt and immigrated from the southern border.

November designated to honoring all our Veterans

By Gale Cowan, Adair County Judge Executive

It is an honor to proclaim the month of November as Veterans and Military Families Month in Adair County. Whereas service men and women protect and defend our most precious freedoms, values, and rights we take for granted daily.

Whereas soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and coast guardsmen spend countless hours away from their families and loved ones serving our country in horrible and dangerous conditions.
