Marching Band makes history takes Bands of America Regional Championship I am so proud of our students for having such a wonderful performance. - TIM ALLEN Special ColumbiaMagazine.com story The Adair County Marching Band made history this past Saturday, by being named the Bands of America Regional Champion in Clarksville, Tennessee.

Letter: Bridge should have been left, reader maintains Comment on The Old Simon Finn/Kemp Bridge To the Editor, CM It would be great if they could leave that bridge standing and build the new one up above or down below.I've never seen it, I don't think, but it seems to me it is a big part of that community. It sad that they take away part of things in our life as we remember them growing up. They may take the bridge but they cannot take your memories.
