Commentary: The generosity of a small town Special thanks to all those working TODAY to make our community a better place: Volunteers from 3Trees Church, young people cleaning my road by Bull Run Creek, Larry Bryant preparing for Bull Run Music Festival, Day and Day's truck ready to deliver relief to tornado victims, people stopping to help Academic Team get to Wisconsin, a bake sale for Relay for Life - and dozens more working hard and giving of themselves. Writer says, "You are what makes living in Adair County great." -Barbara Armitage By Barbara Armitage Too often the phrase "Somebody needs to do something..." comes from the person least likely to actually do anything. For myself I've always believed in Karma, give and you shall receive, what goes around comes around - no matter what you call it serving my community has always been a big part of who I am. There are a lot of people out there working to make our little community a great place to live and I'd like to say thanks to just a few of them.

Let the state then replace that sign. -Charles MarshburnNot clear what you're suggesting, but it sounds like something which might get a person lodged in the Adair County Regional Jail.
