City of Columbia gives update on Business Funding

From Tiffany Collins

The Columbia City Council allocated a portion of the ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) funding to a grant program to be utilized by local businesses. There were certain stipulations placed upon the funding and the manner(s) in which it was to be used by the community.

This was a result of the ARPA committee allocation of funding for primarily drug and alcohol abuse and appropriate support funding, small business assistance, and the updating of the city park properties. The city has been very frugal with the monies and have around 60% of the funding received remaining.

F150 goes green at Don Franklin Ford in Columbia

By Tom Waggener

The Don Franklin Ford crew was kind enough to let me use their electric vehicle charger for my Rivian R1T while in town this weekend and I was surprised to find two new F150 Lightnings on the lot.

The fully electric Lighting is Ford Motors' first all electric pickup truck and it has big shoes to fill as the F Series is the top selling line of vehicles in the USA.

This was the second time I had gotten to see the new Ford EV in person and, had it not been pointed out, I would have walked right by it.

Aside from the Lighting badging, it looks much like any other Ford F150 out today with a similar body and features. But the Lighting is powered by a full electric drivetrain and a 145 Kilowatt battery pack.

OCC National Collection Week is November 14-21, 2022

National Collection Week for Operation Christmas Child is Monday, November 14, 2022 through Monday November 21, 2022.

The theme for the Green River Area team in 2022 is "Mission Possible." The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to provide our ministry partners around the world with shoebox gifts as a way to reach children in their communities. For many children, this is the first gift they will ever receive. More important than the items inside the shoebox, the gifts are an opportunity to share God's love and the Good News of Jesus Christ with children and families in need.

"I sincerely hope and pray that churches and organizations will give serious consideration to participating in this ministry opportunity," said Green River Area Coordinator Mark Fudge.
