Columbia Baptist Church thinks lower price was right thing to do Price concession because property will continue to benefit the community Doug McCammish writes: The members of Columbia Baptist Church felt that as long as the Columbia Christian Life property would continue to be available to the public as a city/county park and senior citizens center, the reduced price was the right thing to do. A commercial property price for the land would have been much higher and the official appraisal at the time of bypass construction was much higher. We are excited to see a public park become a reality for Columbia and Adair County. - Doug McCammishComments above re article 43034 Columbia/Adair Co.

Wonders if Adair County is doing anything to aid Japan? There are at least two with ties to Adair County in the earthquake stricken country If anyone knows of an Adair County effort to aid Japan, or of others from here in Japan, the information is welcome. Use any Contact-Submit button to share information. -CM By Regina Key I was just wondering if Adair County is doing anything to assist Japan? I know of at least two people in Japan who have ties to Columbia. Amy Anderson is from Adair county. She is the daughter of Vickie Anderson and is an exchange student. Angie Gossett Petty is the daughter of R.T. and Wanda Gossett and the granddaughter of the late Mary and Van Gossett. Angie and her husband have been in Japan teaching English.
