Faded Flowers By Joyce M. Coomer I walk in Columbia Cemetery a few times a week. This year I've noticed there are flower arrangements on tombstones that are faded. Some of those are probably from last year, but there are a few, judging from the fading and deterioration of the flowers, that may be four or five years old. I assume family members who have been placing flowers on these tombstones are either deceased or moved away, perhaps they are in a nursing home and other family members don't tend to graves. I am torn between removing the faded flowers so the tombstones don't look neglected, or leaving the flowers in place so that people who visit the cemetery know that someone once cared.

Soccer: Tregarthen's late heroics elevate LWC past WV Tech At Walter S. Reuling Stadium-Ray Wells Field, Sebastian Tregarthen scored the go-ahead goal in the 89th minute to drive the hometown crowd into a frenzy and push the No. 5 Blue Raiders men's soccer team past (RV) West Virginia Tech, 2-1 on Sunday. The electrifying strike scorched the back of the net as a 10-man Lindsey Wilson squad was nearing what would have been its first draw of the season. However, the home side's Uruguayan freshman had other ideas when a pass from Samuel Odame found his foot near the edge of the penalty box.
