Carol Perkins: time for a hearing exam Previous Column: Noticing changes By Carol Perkins It was time. I had been putting it off, but with more than a little encouragement, I made the appointment with an audiologist. A document on her wall showed a degree from Vanderbilt. I was in expert hands. Did I or did I not need hearing aids? After a battery of tests, I learned both ears were equally weak. Weakened by age, genetics, or by loud concerts.

DOT suggestion: Get Semi Trucks to use Bypass By Joe Hare If you lived on Jamestown Street in Columbia, you would realize how many through trucks come around the Public Square daily that could use the Veterans Memorial Bypass. Also there could be a local ordinance banning the use of engine brakes (Jake brakes). Trucks obeying the speed limit really do not have to use engine brakes on Jamestown hill. I know that the "Jake" brake is the primary brake and saves wear and tear on the air brakes, but as short as this hill is this is really not an issue. This not only would help noise pollution, but would encourage the semi's to use the bypass. This is my humble opinion. The District 8 Transportation meeting in Columbia is coming up on Thursday, July 6, 2023 at 10amCT in City Hall - it is open to the public. 2023-06-25 08:33:48 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Local Government Birthdays and Anniversaries for June 25 Happy Anniversary, Bob and Andi Chelf | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Anniversary, Bradley and Holly Caldwell (2005) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Anniversary, Bryan and Crystal Caldwell | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Anniversary, Dale and Brenda Janes (1941) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Anniversary, Ken and Jean Lefaivre (2011) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Anniversary, Kyle and Judy Coffey Stephens | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Anniversary, Mendell and Teresa Milby (1987) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Anniversary, Odell and Shirley Corbin (1955) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Anniversary, Tim and Cheri Olson (1996) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Casey Alan Richards | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Hagen Christopher Wayne McQueary (2008) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Hillary Brooke Klingberg (2009) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, John Luke Partin | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Judy Corbin | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Keri Willis (1978) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Madolyn Kate Brown | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Sheri Banks Little (1974) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Stacy Hare | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Steve Coomer | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Tony Grant | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Jesse R.
