Thank you from the first 2025 L & T tour From Mike Watson and Dave Thomas A big 'thank you' to those intrepid souls who braved the possible falling-weather to come out for the first Lanterns & Tombstones Tour of 2025 at the Columbia Cemetery. With the recent heavy rainfall we were unsure if we could forge ahead without getting wet, or worse. However, with a bit of Divine intervention, we were able to push on, and did not have any ill effects. Over 30 great people came to hear a bit of history and lore of the cemetery and biographical notes on some of the permanent residents of the "silent city' in near-downtown Columbia. Dave and I were pleased with the turnout, the better-than-hoped-for weather, and more. Being a cloudy, dreary evening, photos were few and far between, as well as dark and brooding. We hope to see you all, and more, on May 2nd at Bearwallow Cemetery, on highway 206, at 7pmCT. 2025-04-05 12:03:31 | Comments | Printable version

We can make our communities healthier, stronger, and safer. The 2025 National Public Health Week theme is "It Starts Here" because public health starts with each of us making a difference in our homes and communities. The Lake Cumberland District Health Department's (LCDHD) mission is to promote and protect the health of all who live, work, learn, and play in our district. Doctors and nurse practitioners primarily treat individuals after they become sick or injured. Public health professionals work to prevent problems from happening or recurring by implementing educational programs, recommending policies, promoting healthy lifestyles, assuring a safe environment, and detecting and controlling infectious diseases. As we celebrate the 30th National Public Health Week, April 7-13, one of the key ideas highlighted is the importance of public health initiatives as investments in the future.
