Wal-Mart gives $1,500 to kick off 2009 Helmets for Kids program

Coroner's office, AC 4-H Council team up for current year program

By Rick Wilson, Adair Co. Coroner

I want to let you know , so you can spread the word that we are continuing the Helmets For Kids program this year.

This year The Coroner's Office has teamed up with the Adair County 4H Council and Wal-Mart has awarded us a $1,500 grant.This money will will buy between 37 and 75 ATV helmets. In 2007 we gave 156 helmets away and last year we gave 186 helmets. I feel we have made an impact in safety awareness of the dangers of ATV's when a person does not wear a helmet.

If a child in Adair County under 18 wants an ATV helmet, just give me a call at (270) 378-1490 for an application.

The child will have to sign an agreement and pledge to always wear the helmet when riding an ATV. Plus we count on the parents to enforce the rule.

I appreciate the local 4H Council because they do so many positive things to promote safety for our youth. I am thrilled that Wal-Mart provided the grant so that we can continue the program. I also appreciate your coverage on ColumbiaMagazine.com and all the people that have supported the program so far.

More than three decades of LWC history at Hodge Center

For story with photo, click on headline

By Duane Bonifer
More than three decades of Lindsey Wilson College's history was the topic at a special forum held Tuesday night, March 24, 2009, at LWC. Lindsey Wilson President William T. Luckey Jr. and Chancellor John B. Begley, who was the college's sixth president, talked about their presidencies, the college's growth and the college's future.

"There has never been a more exciting time in the 106-year history of this college," said Luckey, who has been Lindsey Wilson's eighth president since 1998.Begley served as the college's sixth president from 1978-97. He has been the college's chancellor since 1997.

The forum, which was sponsored by the LWC Student Government Association, was held in the Glen and Norma Hodge Center for Discipleship.

Web Reporting 101: For events, write the 5W's and an H first

Email or write CM for more details. We don't have all the answers, but we'll share what we know. And we're certainly open to suggestions for helping to improve attendance and participation at worthwhile local events. Already, several organizations have given us suggestions which carry way beyond CM's simple request to supply street addresses with street numbers. Special thanks to Kelli Bonifer, to the schools in the Adair County School District, to the Taylor County Extension Service for their aid.

It's all about communications. It's easy for journalists and reporters; harder to almost impossible for "writers." But for those who've never submitted a story, before, but who have an open mind, it is easy to learn.

"Events" are all about communication. The first task, the main goal, is to have a succinct paragraph, telling in no more than three or four lines everything needed to answer these questions:
  • What an event is
  • Who is sponsoring and participating in the event, and, where applicable, who is benefitting from the proceeds of the event
  • When the event will happen (ex. at 3:00pmCT/2:00ET, Tuesday, March 30, 2009)
  • Why the event is being held
  • Where the event is being held, with street and number; it can be obtained for almost any building or playing field from a community's address coordinator; if the number is not on the venue's building, let us know. It ought to be for safety's sake. But we'll want to know if it's not, to let CM readers know that the number is for Google searches or for navigational calculations
  • How?, when applicable. Might include brief format for event
