It's summer: Watch out for kids and pedestrians

Summer weather means that more people are outside. Kids are playing and more walkers and joggers are out every day - and this coming week we have the Adair County Fair going on.

Drivers, please beware. A child struck by a car going 40 miles an hour has a greater chance of dying than a child hit by a car going 20 miles an hour. The Emergency Advice, Safety, and Education organization says it pays to slow down in residential sections and near playgrounds.

Small Business of the Year: Columbia Magazine



2024-07-27 - Adair County, KY .
Columbia Magazine was voted the 2024 Chamber of Commerce Small Business of the Year. Columbia Magazine was started by Linda Waggener as a small black and white monthly print magazine back in 1997. After the turn of the century CM migrated to the first online local news and features publication in the region with Pen Waggener as webmaster.

Since Ed and Linda began posting daily updates in 2006, Columbia Magazine format has stayed the same, and thanks to sponsors, it is the only news site that does not require any login, password, nor personal information, to read it - just pull up the website www.columbiamagazine.com and 25 years of stories and pictures are all right there - ready to enjoy.

Carol Perkins: A Spoiled Woman

Previous Column: The search

By Carol Perkins

Guy enjoys telling me I'm spoiled, knowing I'm the least spoiled person he has ever known. If he does something for me, like bring me a drink or a snack, he'll use the phrase, "You know you're spoiled."

I don't find it amusing. There are spoiled women, but I'm not one of them. Maybe it's time. Maybe I wish I were spoiled. What would make me spoiled? I can think of a few things.
