Curious kids make a 911 call

Columbia Police Officer Travis Bell responded to a disconnected emergency call last week expecting to provide a welfare check. Instead, he reported finding these curious kids with big questions and even bigger smiles. It was a simple moment, but one he said that helped build trust and connection between the police and the community he protects and serves. Comments | Permalink

New arena at Adair County Fairgrounds

The new arena is causing lots of excitement for this year's Adair County Fair. It will be given the name of the Shannon "Catfish" Rowe Arena in honor of the generous donation and years of hard work Shannon gave to the Fair. Everyone knew him as "Catfish" but no one we've found can tell us where he got that nickname. If any reader can tell us, please click 'comment' below and send us a note. Comments | Permalink
