Joe Hare thinks Veterans Day should be school holiday By Joe Hare When I looked at the calendar for the Adair County School system for the coming year one day NOT included in the days they take off is very upsetting. That is Veterans Day. This a slap in the face to all veterans that served and sacrificed so that we can have the freedoms we have today, including the freedom to make the choice to dishonor us. I urge the administration and all school board members to reconsider this decision and honor all living and veterans that gave that Ultimate Sacrifice that we can live free in America by not have school on Veterans Day. - Joe Hare 1st Infantry Division Vietnam 1967 Veteran 2016-02-25 18:21:13 | Comments | Printable version

Digging the Middens - What archaeologists will see about use 'I can only assume that archaeologists in the future will determine, from searching the huge middens that we are creating, that society in the early twenty-first century is so wasteful it's shameful.' - Joyce Coomer Click on headline for complete commentary By Joyce Coomer Archaeologists consider middens a source of information about a culture. Within a midden can be found remnants of a culture's foods, utensils and clothing, and occasionally burial sites. I watch with sorrow as thousands and thousands of useful items are discarded each day in this town (and I'm sure in all other towns across the country), items ranging from clothing to furniture to kitchen utensils to storage containers to decorative items to building materials. Many of these callously discarded items are useful; some are new, some only need cleaning.

Carol Perkins: Everyone should vote A Message to All, Especially Women: 'We have to trust that at least one candidate will be good for America,' CAROL PERKINS Previous column: Carol Perkins: Still shocked by personal attacks By Carol Perkins Not registered to vote? Why would any American not register to vote? I was watching a news channel not long ago when a man about my age told a reporter, "I have never voted, but I'm voting this time." Never voted? I was stunned. Here is what I hear from listening to those who don't vote: "My vote doesn't matter." There have been elections won or lost by one or two votes. "None of them (candidates) are any good." Do we know what for sure? We have to trust that at least one candidate will be good for America. "They're all crooks." Is the word "politician" synonymous with "crook?" I happen to know some very honest people who serve in many political positions. A bad politician, like a bad teacher, doesn't mean the entire system is corrupt. I also hear, "I don't care who wins." We all better care.
