James Thomas Vaughn: April 25, 1997-June 30, 2008 To see obituaryClick here We, at Adair County Elementary School, are deeply saddened by the loss of one of our own, James Vaughn. James was a student here at ACES. He received homebound instruction due to his medical condition. Even though James was unable to physically attend school here at ACES, he very much was considered part of the ACES family. The past few years he was confined to a ventilator in order for him to continue his life. Despite his numerous medical conditions, James could instantly brighten your day. Despite his struggles with what most of us take for granted, the simple act of breathing, his attitude was amazing and his huge smile was contagious. James was a blessing in our lives. We knew James for only a short time, but his memory will forever remain with us. Our condolences, thoughts, and prayers are with the family and friends of James. May God be with you in your time of grieving. The A.C.E.S. Family Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2008-07-01 19:10:54 | Comments | Printable version

Littering cigarette butts is a nasty American habit And a nasty one here at home, too. Whether it is the sight of cigarette butts dumped from a car ashtray onto Columba's Public Square, in shopping center parking lots, or the sight of the vacant lot by City Hall being used as an cigarette butt receptacle (check it out and be surprised by who is doing it) or seeing a burning butt being cast from a passing car in the night, it is an infuriating bad habit to have to see. And more, this article says; the butts are causing health problems, too. -CM By Kelli Bonifer,Adair Co. Extension Agent for Family and Consumer Sciences Each year, it's estimated that more than four trillion cigarette butts are carelessly tossed onto roadways, sidewalks and beaches.
