Letter: Idea for a Welcome to Columbia sign

Yvonne Kolbenschlag writes:
I am very pleased that a future Eagle Scout has seen the need to replace a shabby old sign on Greensburg Street. Welcoming signs to a city indicate an image of the kind of place the city is. Just as a shabby dirty 'welcome' mat in front of a house door would make one wonder what sort of person lives there, so a shabby dirty sign at a city's entrance gives the same message.

I hope our City Council affirms this future Eagle Scout's most worthy project. Yaaaa!

LWC Basketball 2020-21 Rewind, Part 2

Previous Basketball Rewind: LWC Men's Basketball: 2020-21 Rewind

By Kyle Jackson

The Lindsey Wilson women's basketball team rounded up a 19-6 overall record alongside a 13-4 mark in the Mid-South Conference during the 2020-21 campaign. This was good enough for the team to earn a bid into the NAIA National Tournament for the seventh straight season.

The Blue Raiders produced two NAIA All-Americans in Reagan Turner (First Team) and Bree Glover (Honorable Mention). Both players also gathered First Team All-MSC honors as well. Turner led the team in scoring at 22.1 points per game and 2.9 assists per game, while Glover garnered a team-best mark at 10.5 rebounds per game, 1.6 steals per game, and 2.5 blocks per game. Turner etched herself into the 2,000 career point club on Dec. 5 against Freed-Hardeman (Tenn.) and is now the programs all-time leading scorer at 2,284 career points. Glover rolled out eight of the team's 10 total double-doubles on the season and tied the program record for blocks in a game (seven) on Feb. 4 against Campbellsville (KY).

A Columbia Landmark and Historic Stage

By Mike Watson

Recently a conversation arose concerning the Hotel on the corner of Greensburg Street and the Public Square in Columbia. There is a long and storied history of this piece of real estate, and also of the hotel, built in 1898 by John Conover. The following is a far-from-complete history, but a starter, of sorts. The photograph accompanying this article is undated, but the Barbee Stagecoach depicted on the Square is well known.

In 1898 John N. Conover built a fine brick hotel on the northwest corner of the Public Square. It was the finest and most modern building in Columbia for many years. Built on the site of a previously burned hotel, Mr. Conover's hotel contained twenty-eight rooms and fronted on Greensburg Street and the Square. Managed by Mr. and Mrs. George Coffey and Mrs. Kate Smith, there was a gala opening on 7 December 1898. The hotel was known by several names, as many persons operated it over the years.
