A favorite sunset shot for Ed



2018-09-27 - Greater Bliss, KY - Photo by Vicky Pike.
Vicky Pike writes, "This is one of my favorite pictures I shared with Ed and his many readers of the girls at the Pampered Angus Ranch on a late afternoon sunset. For those that don't remember, Ed gave us our name at Miss Victoria's. I will forever treasure that. I feel like he will be keeping a close eye on us here in what he called Greater Bliss/New Columbia. We need a guardian angel to watch over us and I think Ed will do just that. I know heaven is no comparison to this scene but it's as close as those of us who love the land can get get right now. Ed loved the land and his community and delighted in sharing that with his readers. I will miss picking up the phone and calling to tell him of the latest happenings in my neck of the woods. He'd always ask if I sent a picture along with it. Now he will know the news before we do. So in honor of Ed, I submit this photo and hope to continue contribute to his beloved Columbia Magazine as I have in the past."

Remembering Ed Waggener: A passion for journalism

By Amy Pike

I was very saddened to learn of the passing of Ed. He was a journalistic icon, a visionary, and a pillar of this community. I had the pleasure of speaking with Ed a few weeks ago and as always thoroughly enjoyed the conversation. He was a very intelligent man and could debate any topic or be the devil's advocate to provoke thoughts and comments from his readers.

I often felt as if he nor Linda ever slept because they were always on top of any news story that related to Columbia both day and night. I visit the Columbia Magazine website numerous times a day and could always count on it being up to date with anything that was happening in our community.

Ed's passion for journalism showed daily in his writings and news reports.

Farm to School Month promotes local foods for KY students

By Sean Southard

Frankfort, KY - Serving local foods in Kentucky schools benefits the entire community, Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles said in proclaiming October as Farm to School Month in Kentucky.

"Eating healthy local foods helps Kentucky kids do their best," Commissioner Quarles said. "At the same time, when schools buy local, farmers and food businesses increase their sales, and that boosts the local economy. During Farm to School Month, let's celebrate our past success and commit to put more local foods on the plates of Kentucky school children in the future."

The Farm to School program in the Kentucky Department of Agriculture (KDA) helps connect Kentucky school systems with local farmers and small businesses. Kentucky schools spent nearly $8.9 million on local food products in 2013-2014. More than 700 schools in 77 Kentucky school districts had programs in place to buy local Kentucky foods for their school cafeterias, according to the 2015 Farm to School Census compiled by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Many students take part in planting school gardens, visiting farms, and turning the cafeteria into a classroom.

Celebrating Chuseok at LWC

By Sabine Eastham

On September 25th, from 2-4pm, roughly 45+ students and community members gathered at 304 Lindsey Wilson Street (International Student Program House) for the first in a series of TED* (Transcontinental Educational Discussion) talks, to learn about, and celebrate Chuseok.

What is Chuseok? Chuseok, or Autumn eve, as it is translated, is a major harvest festival and a three-day holiday in North Korea and South Korea celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar on the full moon. Like many other harvest festivals around the world, it is held around the autumn equinox. As a celebration of the good harvest, Koreans visit their ancestral hometowns and share a feast of Korean traditional food.

After an informative slide-show on the holiday, attendees were able to sample homemade traditional Korean cuisine prepared by our Korean exchange students. On the menu, we were served japchae (a sweet and savory dish of stir-fried glass noodles and vegetables,) sanjeok (a skewered dish made with a large variety of meats, vegetables, egg-washed and pan fried), and Sikhye (a sweet Korean rice beverage, usually served as a dessert.)
