Sinclair wins in both illegal dump cases

Adair County Solid Waste Coordinator A.L. (Pee Wee) Sinclair is a happy man today. Yesterday, Wednesday, March 7, 2007, two cases in District Court, Judge Michael Loy presiding, came out as Sinclair wanted. In one case a defendant charged with illegally dumping brought in a receipt for her delivery of the bags of trash cleaned up from her dump.

In the other, Judge Loy ordered the defendant to clean up the illegal dump she had created and to submit a receipt for the trash delivered to the transfer station.



Sinclair said that the next who may get a citation is a person who was hauling trash that spilled along the roadways. He said , "We'll ask him to voluntarily clean it up. If he doesn't, he'll have to appear in court."

Mr. Sinclair said that he isn't interest in seeing people fined or received harsher punishment. "We just want them to educate them to keep Adair County clean," he said. "We aren't interested in punishment."

Sinclair has often expressed the idea that Adair County's environment get better as the school children of today learn good stewardship. He has never favored punishment as a means to teach good citizenship. And it is at his request that ColumbiaMagazine.com is not publishing the names of the women who were cited to District Court. "They're doing what they ought to do," he said. "i'm satisfied now."

He was complimentary of Judge Loy for the way he handled the illegal dumps. "We have a fine District Judge," Sinclair said of new District Judge Michael Loy. "He's doing a fine job."
