Letter: Kind and generous nature of Adair Comments re: Say what makes your corner of Adair the best Heather Dashkiewicz writes: In the world full of apathy or even animosity, Adair County seems to be somewhat shielded from that. My car broke down on Friday morning just off Burkesville Street on Will Walker Road. I was right at the stop sign and could not get the engine to stay on, so I couldn't even move the car over to the side of the road. Having lived in bigger cities a good portion of my life and let's say experienced the "charm" that comes with that, I expected the worst. Some honking or some choice words at the very least. So my guard was up. However, that is not what happened, not even close. From the first person that came up behind me, I would say 98% of people stopped and asked if I needed help. One car even pulled off of Burkesville Street just to ask if I needed help. After I said that I had help on the way, they pulled back on to Burkesville Street and went on their way. My husband was walking up Burkesville Street by this point, when a very kind gentleman asked if I needed help. I explained the engine wouldn't stay on and that my husband was walking up there now. He actually drove down, picked up my husband and then stayed with us and tried to help. He even drove me to the gas station so I could get something to drink. We really wanted to give him something for his help but he refused. He did it just out of the goodness of his heart. Thankfully the car did eventually start and we didn't have to call a tow truck. I just wanted to say "Thank you" to everyone that stopped and to the very kind gentleman that helped us out. That is why I think all of Adair County is the best, because of the kind and generous nature of the people. You would be very hard-pressed to find that in other places. -Heather This story was posted on 2025-12-16 09:44:45
