Vicky Pike requested this look back at generosity in action 2019-10-10 - Columbia - Photo ColumbiaMagazine.com archive photo . Seems just like yesterday that volunteer Cynthia Rowe was appealing to Adair County Fiscal Court to help out in the areas of feeding our people from the Food Pantry and a place for young people to play at Blair Park. She was so busy helping others that she rushed out in unmatched shoes at a Fiscal Court meeting and it made Ed Waggener's news coverage in this look back in ColumbiaMagazine.com archives requested by Vicky Pike to go with her letter, 'a fitting tribute'. Thanks to all who are stepping up to fill the shoes of volunteers who have passed. Please remember to say thanks to every sponsor of ColumbiaMagazine.com for helping to provide space to share needs and solutions of our region. - LW Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Have you seen Teddy the Cat? 2019-10-10 - Adair Co., KY - Photo by Lucy Allen. Lucy Allen writes, "This is Teddy, he is a male unfixed cat who happens to be my son's best friend and emotional support. I took him to the vet because he had an injury to his neck and sores. There at Red Barn Vet, as we were leaving he managed to get out of the cage and ran off into the field across from the vet office. Teddy is a little over a year old, answers to his name and comes to dry food shaken in a plastic container. Please, if you see our cat (no matter the condition) contact me. He has been missing over a week and we are hoping he is trying to find his way home. My phone number is 270-370-2138, you can call or text me with any info. Thank you."

Silent City - Murrell Burton portrays great grandfather 2019-10-10 - Columbia - Photo by Tiffany Kessler, columbiamagazine.com. This year's Silent City program provided the opportunity for Murrell Burton to portray his great grandfather Isham Scott (1841-1923), a Union Sergeant who served in the Civil War. Sgt Scott was 22 when he enlisted and just over a year later was captured in Chickamauga, GA and sent to the infamous, deadly Andersonville Prison. Isham survived his horrid experiences there and, after three years with Company L, 6 KY Cavalry, came home to enjoy married life and raise 14 children. In the background is Kenneth Scott, another great-grandson of Isham Scott. Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Thanks for the clean bridge underbelly 2019-10-10 - Columbia - Photo by Mitzi Bault. Mitzi writes, "Ricky and I rode down the hill from home to check on Russell Creek after all the good rains. Kayak enthusiasts like us will be thankful to know that all the cleanup work done in summer months has paid off and there are no blockages in the water under the bridge on Hwy 206. Before the cleanup, tree limbs had piled up against the bridge until we were worried about its safety." Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
