Chief Cross opens fourth community drug forum 2017-06-20 - Living by Faith Community Church - Photo by Ed and Linda Waggener. Columbia Police Chief Jason Cross opened the fourth public community drug forum being held around the county in efforts to stop illegal drug use and be proactive in stopping the growth of Heroine addiction. Both the Columbia Police Department and the Adair County Sheriff's Department are asking for greater community involvement. Tips are helpful. To avoid tying up 911 emergency lines people are invited to call 270-384-4119. Once the call is received officers can do a 'knock and talk' and begin the discovery process to see if there's a need for further investigation of possible drug sales at the particular location.

Beth Ann Cravens sent us photos of the prettiest rose she'd ever seen, her Peace Rose, and included these two photos of her pretty Mom, Jean Waggener Cravens, shown in front of their south Indianapolis home. At left, Jean is bringing in her mail alongside the hanging baskets of Petunias, and at right she stands in front of the tallest Hollyhock they've ever grown.

Peace. The rose says it all 2017-06-20 - Indianapolis, IN - Photo By Beth Ann Cravens. The granddaughter of Columbians, Beth Ann Cravens, writes us: "I consider myself a pretty good gardner but I've never been good with roses. I have only one rose, the prettiest rose I've ever seen. I received this beautiful Peace Rose as a gift after my dad, Dr. Paul J. Cravens, who passed away in 1998. It miraculously blooms twice a year with no help of mine. Here it is, in all its glory, after a summer rain." - Beth Ann Cravens. Paired photo Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
