Says leaders passed on vocational school opportunities in past

Roger D Smith DMD writes:
Wouldn't it be nice if we had the total vocational school in Adair County instead of daily ferrying our students to Russell County? You know this could be true if only our leaders had accepted the opportunity.

Sorry, I don't remember the year, but Mr. Sam Evans who worked to place the vocational schools in the state offered the vocational school to Adair County not once but three times. Trying to meet a schedule set by the state, Mr. Evans, in desperation, met with the Russell County system and placed the school in less than two hours. Mr. Evans was a close friend of Howard Cheatham and really wanted to help our county and could never understand the rejection of this program. We talked about this many times.

We've had opportunities to improve life for our citizens, not only in education, but with jobs, and it seems for one reason or the other we have let them slide. Our young people deserve a chance to be educated with the goal improving their lives, but also the opportunity to stay and work in their home town.

My support goes without question. - Roger D Smith DMD

Satellite campus hearing: The Loys speak for satellite campus



2013-12-11 - Adair Annex, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Shamarie Claiborne. District Judge Mike Loy said in the hearing that he was fully in support of the satellite campus. An added benefit, he said, was that it would help keep more kids in school. District Court deals with attendance - truancy, in 20th Century terms - and he sees the vocational education opportunities as a big help to his and Director of Pupil Personnel Robbie Harmon's efforts to keep students in school. His wife Robin Loy, is the Director of the Adair County School Districts first College and Career Readiness Center, at Adair County High School.

We need the Paul Harvey of the story: City budget

Written after reading an interview with Columbia Police Chief Jason Cross in the December 5, 2013, Adair County Community Voice, He says he was disappointed when he went behind the numbers, and makes this plea: "Please, Chief, be a Company Man and help cut excess spending, you can do it! Mayor Mark, you could be one of the first to open our books and let us see how our money is being spent,' - RALPH R. WAGGENER

By Ralph Roy Waggener, Editor, It's Just for a Smile News
Personal commentary

Attitude is everything! If Columbia Police Chief Jason Cross would look at ways to run his department in a more economical way instead of defending how it's run now he could cut cost and still have a very good police department. If the Mayor and city council gave him a budget of $750,000.00 and told him there was no money available and not to excide his budget he could run his department on that amount and give us the same service we are getting now.

What Ralph said should not have even been needed to be said

In this letter, writer says he, too, agrees with what Hospital Board members Craig Pyles and Richard Grant are doing.

Jon Halsey writes:
If I could, I would send a rousing Alleluia chorus from Handel's Messiah to "brother" Ralph.

Ralph is right in saying that what Craig Pyles and Richard Grant have done and are doing should not have been needed - but as Ralph remarked, it was and I for one am thankful they are doing it.

By the same token, what Ralph Waggener said should not have needed to be said, but it has become obvious from others comments that it was and I for one am thankful he said it.

We need to know the Paul Harvey about Westlake

Sound business practices have to come first at Westlake

By Ralph Roy Waggener
Personal Commentary
What Craig Pyles and Richard Grant have told us is not what we want to hear but what we need to hear.

No business can spend more than it does not take in nor can it support a payroll bigger than it needs. Sounds harsh? South Central Printing, my own company has had problems since 2009 same as most other small companies and we have had to let 3 employees go and it's no easy thing to do.

Remembering Kody: Community has lost part of its heart

'The Adair County School District lost part of its heart with Kody's passing last week. On a larger scale, our community lost part of its heart as well. Kody brought out the best in all of us. Kody was living proof that the more we love, the more love we have to give. I hope we will always remember this simple truth that Kody lived. - ALAN W. REED
