Carol Perkins: I love jewelry

Previous column: Sammy and Tammy

By Carol Perkins

I was admiring my friend's ring one Sunday at church. "JTV," she said. I didn't know what she meant. "The jewelry channel on TV," she replied. "Haven't you seen it?" It wasn't on high definition so I hadn't seen it.

I love jewelry. It doesn't have to be real, but if it is fake, I want "real" fake. I am one of those tourists who goes on a cruise, sees the sites, but then heads for the jewelry shops. Every owner declares he is selling high-quality pieces but that isn't true. Novice shoppers like myself can end up with a piece that might be worth twenty dollars instead of hundreds.

City council reading: Annex Pinewood

By Tiffany Kessler

Columbia City Council votes 3-2 on first reading to annex Pinewood Shopping Center into city limits.

The issue was debated for around 15 minutes during Wednesday evening's special called meeting and included a motion by council member Dr. Ronald Rogers to postpone a first reading until the city receives a formal request asking to be annexed into city limits by the majority of property owners. The shopping center is currently owned by three entities. Rogers and council member Sharon Payne voted no to a first reading while council members Mark Harris, June Parson, and Craig Dean voted yes on the action.

According to Mayor Pam Hoots, a second reading, which will allow for public comments, is expected to be held in July.
