Billy Joe Fudge: Crosswalks a beginning, much more needed A call to replace Yield Signs with Stop Signs: 'Vehicle-after-vehicle at Burkesville Street Crossing, ignore crossing, when young teen with 5-6 year old, apparently needing to cross from Red Brick to Bank of Columbia corner. . . finally, a vehicle stopped in the right lane opening the crosswalk for them to cross.

It is just a matter of time until another disaster will once again grab the headlines.' - BILLY JOE FUDGE Click on headline for complete commentary By Billy Joe Fudge Commentary I see that the construction crew needs a stop sign instead of a yield sign to provide for the safety of their employees.

Ann Pearson: Gas is always higher in Columbia Personal Commentary Ann Pearson writes: Gas is always higher in Columbia than any of the surrounding cities and it's cheaper once you get to TN by at least .50 per gallon. I don't understand why gas is so high in Adair county. We always fill up while we are out of town to save on money. I wonder if the one group that owns almost all of the stations in Columbia is why we don't have competition and thus pay more for gas here. - Ann PearsonComments re article 91257 Charles Marshburn Cheap gas Tampa to Columbia 2017-06-23 12:43:36 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Commentary

Summer learning continues at Camp Rocket Click headline for story with photos By Dana Harmon, 21st CCLC Director The learning continues both indoors and out this summer at Adair County Primary Center, 158 Col. Casey Drive, Columbia. Camp Rocket participants have spent two hours and thirty minutes each day sharpening their reading and math skills, an hour on academic enrichment, a whole lot of physical activity and tons of fun! In addition each day a community partner has brought a special lesson on a variety of subjects ranging from the importance of summer reading to bicycle safety. Research shows that over the course of the summer, students can lose up to 2 months worth of work from the previous school year. Summer learning loss can create a gap of up to 2 to 5 years by the time students reach high school. Summer Learning Programs like 21st CCLC-Camp Rocket help our students prevent summer learning loss by engaging them in learning activities during the summer months. This summer we have had a very dedicated group of teachers who have given their all to make sure students continue to learn and have fun, Lisa Hayes, Jennifer Perkins, Christina Ferguson and Lou Anne Coomer have done an outstanding job of keeping students engaged and active. We have also had some excellent community partners, who have brought great lessons and usually goodies to share with our students. We could not do what we do without them all. 2017-06-23 08:20:57 | Comments | Printable version
