October 18, 1977 Around Adair with Ed Waggener

The article below first appeared in the October 18, 1977, issue of the Adair County News. Topics included water tower slogans, sophisticated Sanoites, the undefeated Marching Band, political apocrypha from Monroe County, a lesson on campaigning from Metcalfe County, and plans to honor outgoing Mayor Murphy. --Pen

By Ed Waggener

Mayor W.R. Murphy wants "Columbia--The Home of Lindsey Wilson College" put on one of the water towers in town.

There has been some controversy over what slogan should go on the new water tower on Greensburg Street. Last year, a suggestion was made to honor the Adair County Marching Indians, but football fans wanted the football Indians so honored, and the plan was dropped.

Mayor Murphy said it would be fitting to honor Lindsey, since the school is the source of immense pride. The other towers are unmarked, or simply have "Columbia" on the tank, except for the tank in the Industrial Park.

"Some people think that because Oshkosh has its sign on that tower," Murphy said, "that it belongs to them. Actually, the presence of the tank out there is like a present from the city. It helps keep Oshkosh's insurance bill down. But it belongs to the city," Mayor Murphy said.

Other ideas are offered
I like the "Home of Lindsey Wilson College" idea. But, other suggestions have been put forward.

Come home soon from rehab, Jean Cravens!

By Linda Waggener

Jean Cravens got a fall in her Indianapolis home not long after she was honored on her 90th birthday and wound up in rehab.

Family members have worried about the extra danger of crowded areas like hospitals and rehab centers during this Coronavirus, however, in a good long phone visit she said she feels she's in good hands, safe, and getting physical therapy.

It was so good to hear her voice sounding strong, positive and thankful. Instead of focusing on life's hardships, Jean has always given gifts to others in every encounter by sharing her positive attitude.
