Letter: thanks for posting about the siren test Galen Gray wrote today after two alarms downtown: Thanks for posting about the siren test. I had to do a Google search and it took me right to that page. Columbia Magazine prints the notices from Grant Loy, Director Adair County Emergency Management, who is working to assure all sirens across Columbia are in good condition before the next need. This was only a test. There was no emergency, however, it's hard to be sure, especially when there's more than one alarm as was the case today. Everyone is encouraged to have multiple ways to receive weather alerts. 2026-03-30 17:02:18 | Comments | Printable version
Protecting Livestock by using Guardians By Donna Rieder For thousands of years, people have depended on guardian animals to alert them of danger and to protect their livestock. Livestock predators come in all shapes and sizes, with the coyote being the most prevalent. Other predators, depending on where you live, are wolves, bears, foxes, and even birds of prey such as eagles and hawks. A large bird can easily swoop down and snatch a chicken or duck, or even a small lamb or goat kid. One of the biggest threats to smaller livestock such as poultry or goats and sheep is the domestic dog. I've had livestock and poultry for decades, and every loss I've had was because of someone else's dog. They have no fear of humans, and sadly, they kill for sport, not for food. Guardian animals come in many different forms, and each have their pros and cons; the farmer will choose the one that best suits their particular situation.

Writers Day 2026: Meddlesome Jack All the writers and readers were invited to share their Writers' Day presentations. Here's mine. Meddlesome Jack Written and Read By Linda Waggener Oh, the places you’ll go! said the wonderful Dr. Seuss. And oh, did I want to go places and see everything! As a child, my grandmother had a name for me. She called me… “Meddlesome Jack.” I was curious about every one of Grandma Marcum's Boxes. Trinkets. Secrets. Sometimes she’d catch me exploring one of her personal spaces… maybe studying a beautiful pearl necklace like it was museum treasure. And she’d give me a smart pinch and say, “Get out of that, Meddlesome Jack.” Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2026-03-30 08:47:34 | Comments | Printable version Birthdays and Anniversaries for March 30 Happy Birthday, Addie Bennett (2007) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Andrea Cowan | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Christine Gilpin (1923) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Dr. Bill Scott | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Dustin Morrison (1988) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Emma Burton (2011) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Mattie Burton | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Sarah Keltner Simmons (1987) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Shawntae Burton | (Updates/Corrections) Happy birthday, Sophie Kimbler | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Tommy Judd | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday Lester D.
