Paint the Town Thank you

From City of Columbia

The City of Columbia would like to thank everyone for an incredible Paint the Town event! The City was blessed to have the largest attendance of painters in the six years of having the event. We also added several food trucks on the Square for the first time.

A special thank you goes out to the Columbia Police Department who did traffic control, and to the Columbia-Adair County Fire Department for bringing a fire truck to display as well as giving items away.

This event, as well as every other event that the City has, would not be possible without community engagement, so thank you to all that participated this year and be on the lookout for news about more upcoming events, including our Back to School event, beginning at 11amCT on August 12, 2025, at the City Park on Fairgrounds Street.

Carol Perkins: Forever and Ever, Amen

Previous Column: Ladies Day Out

By Carol Perkins

Have you ever thought about the relationship between humans and the weather? It is a thread that weaves us together.

In the winter, our greeting may be, "Boy, it sure is cold."

In the spring, "This weather is a killer on my allergies."

Summer brings, "I don't remember it being this hot," and winter generates tales of woolly worms and snow. Just as history repeats itself, so does the weather.

LWU: Emma Couch broadens her academic horizons in Europe

From Duane Bonifer

Lindsey Wilson University student Emma Couch '27 got to see and study part of Europe this summer. Couch started her summer in Grantham, England, where she was one of 15 Lindsey Wilson students selected to take part in an immersive study-abroad program at Harlaxton College. During their nine days there, the Lindsey Wilson students visited the historic cities of London, Lincoln, York and Cambridge while based at Harlaxton.

Then Couch headed south to study for six weeks in a study-abroad program at the University of Madrid. Couch took a course on the history of the Spanish capital as well as a Spanish course.

"It's a beautiful city. It was just amazing," said Couch, who is a psychology and Spanish double major. "I don't know how else to put it. It was just wonderful."

It was the first time that Couch, who is a Kentucky native, traveled outside of the United States.

Mission Team from Egypt Christian Church in Tennessee

From Paul Patton

Twelve members from Egypt Christian Church have been in Embreeville, Tennessee this week leading in a Vacation Bible School in the same area which was devastated by tornado and a flood in September of 2024.

In October of last year, a larger group from the Egypt congregation performed disaster relief in ministering to people in the area of Embreeville, and since then have constructed four small houses and one larger three bedroom house.

This year, a highly successful VBS is being conducted according to ECC pastors Joel Patton and Will Rich.

Road trip to St. Louis, home of the Arch

By Josh Brockman

The Gateway Arch National Park in St. Louis is a neat place to go - just five hours from Columbia. It makes for an easy weekend road trip. It was a national monument until 2018 and then it got its designation as a National Park.

We are about half way to visiting all 63 national parks in America. There are two additional national parks in U.S. territories that we will be hoping to visit as well. We will eventually get them knocked off one at a time but we really enjoying the hiking and adventures.

Maulden wins FAFSA completion scholarship

From Crystal Dempsey-Gillum

Frankfort, KY - Six Kentucky students and four high schools won $500 scholarships from the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA) for participating in the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) scholarship drawings this spring, including William Maulden of Adair County. The FAFSA is the form students must file to find out if they qualify for federal and state student aid.

"Students who file the FAFSA are taking an important step to continue their education after high school," said Lt. Gov. Jacqueline Coleman. "We salute parents, teachers, school staff and community partners who encourage Kentuckians to complete the FAFSA as they prepare for their future."

The challenge was open to all certified public and private high schools in the state and their students. Schools were awarded $500 for having the highest FAFSA completion rates in each of the four categories. Six students also won scholarships in the FAFSA Completion Scholarship Drawing and the FAFSA Fun Day Scholarship Drawing, each earning a $500 scholarship.

Trapping and relocating a troublesome visitor

By Jane Smith

I've been trying to catch this little critter for over a month. I love watching turkeys stroll through my yard and the little deer that comes to the head of the woods every week or so to say hello... the little bunny that is usually eating breakfast when I look out my window of the morning as I pour my first cup of coffee.

But this little fellow has woke me up more than once from a dead sleep creating havoc on the back porch. I had decided Saturday it was too smart for the live trap and I was just going to give up. I was tired Saturday and didn't put the trap up.
