Adair Fiscal Court April 14, 2009, meeting, Band aid report STORY IN PROGRESS. Click on headline for Shamarie Claiborne and other pictures, as added, and detaiils, as added. Photo ID, additional information, and edits appreciated; it was big night!
Adair County Fiscal Court was a major happenng last night, with the biggest news being saved till last: The Court, before a packed, standing room only crowd, voted 5-2 to give $3,000 toward the Adair County Band's historic appearance in the 2009 Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. Voting for the donation were Magistrates Wid Harris (2), Sammy Baker (3), Billy Dean Coffey (5), Joe Rogers (6), and and Terry Hadley (7). The action was near the end of the meeting, and came following Magistrate Terry Hadley's motion and statement. He said, in a move that began a revival-like altar call without 20 stanzas of Just As I Am Repeated - there was no need for that - "I voted against giving the money last time, but I've talked to some people, and I've had a change of heart." Also voting "Yes" in a change to the band this time was Magistrate Sammy Baker (3); and Magistrate Billy Dean Coffey (5) who had just undergone surgery and was unable to attend the March 2009 meeting. After the vote, Magistrate Wid Harris (2) issued a challenge which, before the evening was over, added $2,100 in personal pledges of $300 each from CJE Ann Melton, and Magistrates Danny Goodin (1), Sammy Baker (3), Perry Reeder (4), Joe Rogers (6) and Terry Hadley (7) each pledging $300 in personal donations to the cause. Magistrates Danny Goodin (1) and Perry Reeder (4) voted against the measure, based on personal convictions that county funds should not be used for the purpose, but enthusiastically pledged $300 each as a show of support for the band.Magistrate Sammy Baker's pledge of $300 gave the band a choice, the money, or a more valuable 600 lb. beef cow to raffle off. Speaking for the band, were Superintendent Darrell Treece, Band Booster President Doyle Lloyd, and Band Booster Shamarie Claiborne. After Judge Ann Melton gave impassioned remarks favoring County support for the kids. "I'll always put the kids and senior citizens first," she said. This story was posted on 2009-04-15 05:25:23
