Letter: Time to move forward and work together

Victoria Pike writes:
Mary and I have sat in on these meetings concerning the payroll tax for the last few meetings. I'm in agreement with her that I'm very disappointed in the amount. I don't think it will be enough to do what we need it to do. However, it's done and now we will see. I'm not interested in keeping stirring the pot on this issue. I hope those who voted for this are correct in their thinking. Now let's move forward and work together to make our county flourish.

I will do all I can to support our elected officials for the next 3 plus years of their terms. They are our elected officials and represent us all for the next 3 plus years. I will continue to attend meetings and voice my opinion if I think it's necessary. It's important that our City and County come together and show a united effort to move our community forward now that we have industry interested in us. This is our chance to get those things that we have all wanted for our community for sometime. Now let's stop STIRRING THE POT of negativity and move forward. I'm looking forward to seeing what can be accomplished if we work together instead of against one another. Also, thank you to our Economic Development Board for what they are doing to draw in new industry and good paying jobs for our people so they can live and work at home in Adair County.

Courthouse Renovations: A stitch in time saves nine

Many folks have contacted Columbia Magazine's Architectural Research Department this past week, wanting to know the goals and benefits of the courthouse renovations that started this month.

Lee Ann Jessee, of the Adair Heritage Association and Director of the Adair County Public Library, spoke with Larry Joe Smith recently about the Adair Heritage Association's years of work toward preserving the historic building, and spoke with Columbia Magazine about the benefits of the new project.

In the 1970s the Courthouse was expanded with what has come to be called "wings." When the new Judicial Center was built, and all the offices moved out of the old building, a discussion about the future of the historic building was begun. Among the first suggestions was a return to the historic layout with removal of the additions.

Lee Ann offered some insight into the benefits of the removal of the 1970s-era additions, starting with visibility. She said, "As far as traffic, with wings removed there is better sight for both vehicles and pedestrians." (As an aside, while no CM readers this week have admitted to hitting the wings themselves, 100 percent of those contacting us about the courthouse knew of someone who had.)

Lee Ann also noted that the wings had multiple ongoing maintenance issues.
