11 of 16 precincts counted: 583 signatures validated By Ed Waggener The necessity of an election to keep the Nickel Tax is appearing to be more like after three precincts were tallied tonight, bringing the total number of valid signatures to 583, just 172 short of the 755 needed to certify the petition. Five precincts still await validation, according to Deputy Adair County Clerk Melissa Fletcher. The report of the total for the 11 precincts came at 6:47pm. Adair County Court Clerk Sheila Blair assigned after hours work tonight to speed the results. "I'm hoping we'll be able to certify or not by as early as Tuesday evening," she said. 2009-11-02 19:02:09 | Comments | Printable version
Says we need to buck up and pay for new CWC About: Col Wm Casey School is in dire need of replacement To ColumbiaMagazine.com: Although I don't relish the idea of paying more taxes, I must admit that the Casey school is indeed in a state of serious disrepair. Mrs. Jones tries very hard to educate our children in a facility that at best can be discribed as harsh. After paying what I thought was a very high tax bill today that the lions share went to our school system. It grieves my to say that we need to buck up and pay for this, too. s/John Ford 2009-11-02 18:50:20 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Col. Wm. Casey School is in dire need of replacement Temperatures can't be regulated. The building has leaks. Mobile Units lose power. Electrical system won't support Whiteboards. "The bigger picture is that we have a great school at Col. Wm. Casey, but we house it in an inadequate building," Patty Jones says. Funds must be provided for an adequate building to provide the education Adair County kids need to compete in the 21st Century By Patty Jones, Principal, Col. Wm. Casey Elementary School As principal of Col. Wm. Casey Elementary School it would only stand to reason that I am strongly in favor of the additional funds to allow construction to begin on a new elementary school. It is true that I see firsthand on a daily basis the many reasons a new school for our district is needed. Just in the past week the students and staff at Casey have had to deal with several common problems.
