Narda Tate: A Matter of Perspective By Narda Tate Once upon a time, in a state that shall remain anonymous just in case the statute of limitations on stupidity has not expired, I was involved - no, I caused - what could have been a fatal incident on the roadway. Thankfully, we all survived. But let me explain. I want you to know the truth, not the truth as known by the other party. Being raised in the southern part of Miami, Florida, I was exposed to a lot of bright, direct sunshine. This, in turn, gave me cataracts at a very young age. After my first surgery, I was delighted with being able to see again. However, after just a couple of years, the cataract in my other eye developed quite nicely and the lens tissue in the already corrected eye started growing back and was covering my vision again. It wasn't too long before I was too blind to see and voluntarily gave up driving until I could have more surgery. The fateful day came when we arrived at church for a music rehearsal and the music was not with us. It was back home. It wasn't a very far distance from church to house and knowing that I shouldn't, I still volunteered to brave the driving world and retrieve the recalcitrant papers. I only had to go down one road, cross 2 lanes of oncoming traffic, regroup in the median and cross 2 more lanes and I would be on our road and almost there. This much, I accomplished safely. It was the journey back that caused the problem! Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2026-09-19 14:24:26 | Comments | Printable version

No gentle breeze here By Kathy Parker While downtown Columbia received a gentle breeze and light rain Friday evening, the Holmes Bend area around Robertson Road received either ferocious straight line winds or a small tornado. We were sitting on the porch during a good summer shower as the sun was setting when we heard a roar coming from the west. Normally I would have gone to the basement but it came so fast and furious I didn't have time to go down the outside back stairs. We thought the cabin was gone, with us in it. When it finally slowed down at dark, this was left. We lost 2 giant trees, patio furniture strewn, and tree tops on neighbor's house. There was no warning and radar showed a light green space over our location. Rain gauge only showed .75 of an inch, but the torrential rain was all sideways. We are blessed we didn't have more damage. Johnny Vaughn said he has never seen or heard anything like it. 2026-09-19 14:02:09 | Comments | Printable version Birthdays and Anniversaries for September 19 Happy Anniversary, Joe & Margo McInteer McCullough (2014) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Anniversary, Eldon and Cindy Hudson Burton (1987) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Billie Kay Wilson | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Braxton Conner (2015) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Carlee Page (2012) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Chesley Nell | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Chris Thompson | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Chris Thompson | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Colton Parnell (2004) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Dylan Feese | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Gennie Watson | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Hilda Feese | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Jean Nelson | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Jeannie Hadley | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Justin Bailey | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Nathaniel Edgar-Dean Cravens (2015) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Theril Burton | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Todd Davenport | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Wesley Melson (1970) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Mary R.
