Thanks to all for the magical Christmas parade Ellen Zornes, Executive Director, Columbia-Adair County Chamber of Commerce On behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, I wish to thank everyone who had a part in making our annual Christmas Parade such a memorable and fun event! The floats and other entries were as beautiful and 'magical' as always with Santa and Mrs. Claus being a big hit with both young and old. The rain made it difficult but everyone persevered, and we had another simply 'magical' parade. A special thanks to Angie Cowan, our parade chair. It is a huge undertaking to be able to have the Christmas Parade, but well worth it!

Tommy Druen: The benefits of reading Previous Column: Community involvement a lost art? By Tommy Druen Kids can be mean, especially towards each other. This statement isn't groundbreaking; we all acknowledge its truth. Most of us have encountered it in one form or another. I'm not justifying this behavior, but it's a reality we all must face at some point. While the taunts on the playground may have evolved in terms, the fundamental meaning remains constant. "Garbage" has replaced "loser," and "freak" now stands in for "geek." Terms that target a person's race, ethnicity or sexual preferences appear to be constantly evolving. However, a label I was branded with seems to have faded away. While this might sound positive, my concern is that it's because the underlying reason is becoming rarer.
