Kelvin Bailey: Some Dry posts provide legitimate fodder for PAC Response to: Wanda Kerns comments on Wet/Dry By Kelvin Bailey Personal Commentary It has to be noted and understood that the recent alcohol related accident in Adair County referred to by Mrs. Kerns happened in a dry county. I've had this same concern with comments posted previously recounting unfortunate events and circumstances that were attributed to alcohol consumption in our county, A Dry County. These incidents and circumstances could only have existed if either alcohol were purchased in the county illegally or it was purchased in another county and brought into our county (or consumed on the way back to our county).

S.T.L.P. students at Adair Co. Primary Center busy on yearbook By Laura Marcum Second grade students who are in the Student Technology Leadership Program (S.T.L.P.) at the Adair County Primary Center have been busy working on their school yearbook. Their first job was to plan the layout of pages. Next they took class rosters and checked to see who was missing or who needed their name changed (like those who go by their middle name instead of their first). Then they were able to design the class pages with individual pictures, titles, and backgrounds. We still need to work on our cover and candid photos. Our school yearbook is quite a bit of work but definitely worth it when you see your classmates looking through the book. 2016-03-11 11:54:04 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Education
