Carol Perkins: Jinxed or Careless Previous Column: Father's Day By Carol Perkins If there is such a thing as being jinxed, I think I must be. I'm embarrassed to tell of other weird things that have happened to me, but I can't keep from sharing. I am one who keeps "stuff" around me with the intention of moving. My under-the-counter bike was against my desk to the right of my computer. It was once under my computer, but I quickly figured out that pedaling and typing simultaneously was impossible. As I was standing on my tiptoes, adding a few books to the shelf above the desk and leaning over this machine, I never thought I was in danger. When I put my toes down, I must have leaned my left leg into the metal part of the pedal. Suddenly, the pain shot through my body like I had been hit with an arrow (as if I know what that feels like) and blood ran down my leg. I yelled for Guy.

Brittany Smith introduced Kirby Hancock at banquet By Brittany Smith I am forever grateful and honored to have this opportunity to present Mr. Kirby Hancock with the Adair County Chamber of Commerce Agriculturalist of the Year award. In the fall of 2000 (I'll let you do the math there), I stepped foot inside a classroom that, little did I know, would change the trajectory of my life. As a freshman, I was looking for my niche in the walls of Adair County High School, and I found it in Mr. Kirby Hancock's classroom. Alongside the numerous other students in my class, on the first day of school, we were presented with the assignment of memorizing and reciting the FFA Creed. Unlike many others, this was a task that I actually enjoyed and I worked hard to develop and perfect my ability to speak through this assignment over the next 5 weeks in his class.
