Quarles applauds breakfast bill for KY school children By Lisa Tolliver Frankfort, KY - Agriculture Commissioner Dr. Ryan Quarles is applauding passage of Senate Bill 151 by the Kentucky General Assembly to remove the "barrier to breakfast" by clarifying the current law regarding breakfast at school. The simple change leaves no ambiguity as to what is allowed: Under the proposed legislation, school districts are permitted to serve breakfast during the first 15 minutes of instructional time. School districts across the commonwealth were uncertain if breakfast during instructional time is permitted by state law or not. This legislation was filed to make it clear and further the progress made by the Kentucky Hunger Initiative over the past several years to reduce food insecurity across the commonwealth.

Lanterns & Tombstones Tours to begin April 1, 2022 A new historical event in Columbia and Adair County is coming April 1, 2022. Those with an interest in the history and development of the area will wish to become involved. The idea originated with Dave Thomas and, joined by Mike Watson, has evolved quickly into a proposed once-a-month tour. Using the annual Silent City Tour as a starting point, the two plan to lead tours on the first Friday evening each month, in conjunction with Columbia's To-the-Nines downtown shopping event. Lanterns & Tombstones tours will wind through the historic Columbia Cemetery with historical personalities and events highlighting the walks. Each month the narrative will differ, with new and added points of local interest. The first Lanterns & Tombstones Tour will be held at 7pmCT on Friday, April 1, 2022. Those interested are asked to meet in the Justice Center parking lot by the appointed time. The tour will leave from this spot and proceed through the cemetery.
