Carol Perkins: Who would I pay big bucks to see?

Previous Column: Useful surprises

By Carol Perkins

How much is it worth? When I learned that George Strait was performing a limited number of engagements in Austin, I thought I might go. The logistics were not logical, but since our son lives there, I justified the inconvenience to see George one more time.

Then I checked for tickets. Stunned. That's the only way to describe my reaction to the cheap seats in the rafters and impossible for me to reach. Three hundred and forty dollars for the worst seats in the house? The best seats are going for a thousand and up.

Photography Club meets weekly at Adair County Middle School

By Linda Waggener

The Adair County Middle School Photography Club was founded by Natalie Bardin last semester with a mission to share her skills and learn together with others who share an interest. Regulars in the Club with her are Skylar Gilbert, Zoey Grant, Keely Kerns, and sponsor Mrs. Tina Hadley.

The group met this week as they have each Tuesday after school, spending the first few minutes talking about goings on since their last meeting. Specifically, this week, their conversation included how very much they miss their fellow Photography Club member Shyanna Marie Harmon who lost her life March 20, 2022 from injuries received in an automobile accident.

LWC International Student Program thanks local host families

By Anna Peterson

On Sunday, April 10, 2022, the LWC International Student Program was thrilled to host their annual Host Family Appreciation event. This event is extremely important to the ISP Team, as the event is a time to give back to the families that do so much for the students and it was especially wonderful this year after such a long time of separation. After two years of COVID hindering the ability to meet, nearly 90 students and Host Families gathered on campus once again!

The impact that Host Families have on a student's experience at LWC was made obvious when over 25 students filed onto the stage to perform a song, Love Grows Where Our Host Families Go (a parody of Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes) .The students also took some time to pass around a microphone and express how much their Host Families impacted them before passing out roses to each family as yet another sign of gratitude.
