Homer Goodin would be so proud About: Goodins finish 1-2-3 in The Pines Invitational golf tournament To ColumbiaMagazine.com: The article about my niece and great-nieces, Lauren, Ashley, and Kim Goodin placing 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in the golf tournament made me very happy for them. Then I immediately felt an overwhelming sadness that my brother, Homer Goodin, wasn't alive to enjoy their success and be able to brag about "his girls" at the feed mill for the coming year. No one loved golf or those 3 ladies more than he did. s/Carol Goodin Parker 2010-07-18 23:23:06 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Happy Birthday, George Thomas Keltner George T. Keltner's birthday in Birthdays and Anniversaries marks Red Letter record in Celebrations: Birthdays, In Memory Birthdays, and Anniversaries It appears to be Celebration No. 25, a record setter By Ed Waggener Today's Birthdays and Anniversaries seem to mark a high point in terms of numbers. We don't have a quick way to check, but when Alissa Barnes sent word that her father, it was her father's, George T. Keltner's, birthday today, we think that was Celebration No. 25 for the day. and a record-setter for the most ever in the list. The way we counted: Each of the anniversaries count as one celebration, but twins sharing a birthday count as two, and In Memory Birthdays count as 1 each. We think that is the way the late, great Columbia Mayor Coy Downey would have counted for any official record going into the World Record Book of Guinnesses.

Interesting Link: Some states going back to gravel roads Jon Halsey of Knifley, KY sent a link to an interesting story of what's happening to roads in some states. The link, is to a Wall Street Journal story, Roads to Ruin: Towns Rip Up the Pavement:He didn't make a judgment call on it, but it is thought-provoking. It's hard to see how, on heavily traveled roads, the net effect could be good to go the gravel, one can see some advantages for gravel surfaces instead of paving for driveways and parking lots, especially where the grade is not so steep that washing becomes a problem. Gravel is certainly cooler. 2010-07-18 13:16:42 | Comments | Printable version

Carol Perkins: Hoosier hospitality in outlet mall There's a lesson here: They were closing, but clerks in the Edinburgh, IN Oshkosh outlet store let Carol Perkins do some last minute shopping, and went way beyond the call of duty to help her get the purchases she needed.

Welsh Life-long learning and fullness of appreciation In a recent sermon I referenced the novel Gilead by Marilynne Robinson. This book won the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for fiction and the 2006 Grawemeyer Award for Religion. I think it is a wonderful story, centering on a man who is thoroughly good and caring. The Reverend John Ames, the narrator, is a third-generation minister, the Congregational pastor in a small southwest Iowa town in the 1950's. A widower who has married again late in life and become a father, he adores his very young son who is 70 years younger than he. Ames knows that his heart problems won't let him live much longer, and he wants his son to grow up knowing some things about the Ames family history, about faith and scripture, about relationships, and about real love and grace.

100 Years Ago: Spicy bits from the front page of the News By "Jim" The short entries on the front page of the July 20, 1910 News were considerably more interesting - "spicier," in the parlance of the day - than were the longer articles with their splashy headlines. (Among the latter: a suicide in the Fairplay community, a murder in Jamestown, the previously secret marriage of Leondis Braxton "Brack" Cain and Alice Murrell revealed, and a report of the statewide crop damage wrought by the heavy July rains.) Perhaps you, gentle CM reader, can forgive some of the headlines created for the following tidbits, as your humble contributor made them up well past supper and long before breakfast, in that murky mental twilight between one pill wearing off and another kicking in.
