Building the Neighborhood On October 9-11, volunteers from all over the country came to Columbia to help insulate the Berean Community Fellowship building under construction on Highway 55 Bypass. Veronica highlights their generosity and says "This is how we build communities and strong bonds that make Columbia the place we all want to live". By Veronica Arnold Fall is here! It seems here to stay and a flurry of activity is happening. There are community service projects, historical themed potlucks, the annual Downtown Days festival, and social mixers. It is hard to keep track of all the events, and even harder to attend them all. Maybe you saw some activity on the southern tip of the Hwy 55 bypass recently, or perhaps it was lost in the hustle and bustle. I do not want our community to lose the story of people coming together to build something beautiful, or, as this group says, "Change the world one set of foam at a time." I spoke with JT Meyer, with Bluegrass Spray Foam, about the project he helped to plan here in Columbia. Meyer told me that his church, Berean Community Fellowship, broke ground on that hilltop on the bypass in November of 2024. They started framing in May 2026, with volunteers doing the majority of the work at the site, with it being funded purely with donations from the church and friends who wish to help this church have their own sanctuary.

LWU ISP students explore Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg By Duane Bonifer A group of Lindsey Wilson University students took advantage of extra time off from classes earlier this month to explore the attractions and peculiarities of the region. During Lindsey Wilson's fall break of October 10-13, 2026, members of the Lindsey Wilson International Student Program and Global Citizens Club collaborated on a trip to visit the Tennessee tourist cities of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, where the cultural artifacts and exhibitions can range from pastiche to parody but usually reflect a certain degree of the American zeitgeist. A total of 13 students attended the trip, led by Makayla Wright '24, who is Lindsey Wilson international student adviser for communications and global student support coordinator.

The pig who made friends, then resisted arrest Two potbellied pigs turned up on Hendricks Street, on Detroit's east side, in early September. They had wandered over from a nearby park. The neighbors were charmed. The pigs let people pet them. Somebody caught the female and then let her go again. The male settled in under a pine tree in front of Chris Lompra's house. Lompra, who has lived on that street for 26 years, started leaving out produce and dog kibble.

Carol Perkins: What's for Supper? Previous Column: Burton Ridge By Carol Perkins I'm at the computer, deep in a project, when Guy leans in the doorway. "I'm sure you haven't thought about it, but what's for supper?" It's five o'clock. I glanced up as though he's sprouted a second head. "I was thinking grilled cheese and tomato soup. What were you thinking?" His answer would have been nothing. Guy still lives like a seventeen-year-old whose mother had breakfast ready when he woke and a hot meal on the table at supper. I kept up my end early in our marriage (eager to impress) and while the kids were home, but now that it's just the two of us, I cook less--though I do still cook. He never does. So why does his nearly daily "What's for supper?" bother me so much? Maybe because I think it's high time he asked what I'd like to eat.
