Today, Fri. Dec. 14, 2007: Congratulations - Bonnie, Les


Congratulations to Bonnie Cheng and Les Herbst for their extraordinary achievements in being selected for the All-State Band. And, as always: Thank you, Mr. Allen, for all you do in bringing honor and fame to Adair County.
You didn't have to be an Adair Countian to get a lump in your throat: For those who missed the Inaugural Parade, Doug Sapp, who was there, says that despite the large number of high school bands in the long parade, "Adair County clearly stood out above all the rest."

Mystic skull: Creative photography by Tony Harvey

TONY HARVEY writes with this photo: "I visited a friends farm out Hwy 704 the other day, and found some neat objects to photograph. The items were stored next to a old WW II type hanger that my friend uses to house farm implements, tractor, ATVs etc . I added some color using CS2 and with the help of the filters.
