Congratulations Gabe Coleman, Eagle Scout 2022-03-29 - Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo by Mayor Pam Hoots. After years of hard work and effort, Gabe Coleman, 13, achieved the rank of Eagle Scout after having set the goal for himself as a Cub Scout. His journey was honored and made official in a ceremony Monday night at the Columbia United Methodist Church. Gabe is pictured with his brother Ty, and his mom and dad, Maggie and Mark Coleman. Click and read his paper on the Importance of Citizenship describing how "through Scouting badges like the Citizenship in the Community, the Nation, and the World and through various rank requirements, Scouts study our rights and resources." It was published in 2020 as part of Gabe's requirements working his way through the ranks to this moment. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Hanging on 2022-03-28 - Central Kentucky - Photo by Pen. The improbable remains of a once grand tree. There's probably a life lesson in the way that it has continued of recent, year after year, to produce a small canopy of green leaves, despite the loss of nearly all of its above-ground mass.

COVID-19 Update - not time to totally relax 2022-03-27 - Photo from Lake Cumberland District Health Department. Life seems like it's going back to normal after the pandemic but this map showing numbers of cases indicates that we are not out of the woods (in the green) yet. In our 10-county health district, one county has gone back to the red, danger level, and the rest are still in the mid-range. With mask requirements a thing of the past, each family is on its own to use them or not based on health needs. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Mystery among the art and history displays 2022-03-27 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. The Adair County Student Art Show continues at Columbia's historic Trabue Russell House. Great works by all age students are on display and also historic pieces like this one are mixed in. The question is: what was this old time tool kit used for? Volunteers at the House hope someone among the Columbia Magazine readers will be able to say exactly what it was and how it would have been used in its day. The exhibit is open from 1-3pmCT on each of the following Saturdays and Sundays: April 2nd and 3rd, and on the weekend of April 9th and 10th, 2022. For details, call the City of Columbia, 270-384-2501. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
