Commentary on symbolism of Holladay Place Water Tower See raising of tank emblazoned with Raider Bob as a portent of greater things to come. Remembers three other significant landmarks which created optimistism similar to that of today By Billy Joe Fudge We Adair County residents have much to be thankful for and based upon many goings on here we have a bright and shinning future just over the horizon. During difficult economic times it is sometimes very tempting to withdraw into the lack of the present day which can cultivate stagnation rather than investment. This somewhat self-imposed stagnation can often lead to being poorly prepared for the future. Similarly, during times of prosperity and plenty we are often tempted to rest on our laurels and retire into periods of consumption rather than investment. This condition following a completely different format is also a self-imposed stagnation that can often lead to being poorly prepared for the future. Looking back I can find at least three examples where forward thinking leadership, where not allowing ourselves to sink into the mire of lack, and where we would not be lured into complacency have had a positive impact upon the present local economy and upon our way of life.
We, all of us, have a responsibility to the future to not be lured into stagnation for any reason. Our children, grandchildren, and all demand that we plant the seeds necessary to provide an opportunity for them to have a bountiful harvest, also. This story was posted on 2010-05-28 15:35:58
