Carol Perkins: Then There Were Two Previous Column: Sentimental Journey By Carol Perkins Every Memorial Day is a time of remembering. Although my thoughts go to my lost friends every day, this time of the year is especially difficult. There were four of us who were friends from the cradle. One was my first cousin, Roberta, who lived next door. Another was Judy, Roberta's aunt, who was a year younger and was no relation to me, and Connie, who wasn't related to any of us. She didn't know to whom she was related until she was an adult. I wrote her story in A Girl Named Connie. Connie, Roberta, and I spent twelve school years with the same teachers, even in high school. Connie, the tomboy, took Home Economics classes because officials wouldn't let her take her shop classes. She longed for an FFA jacket. We grew up together, walked through adulthood together, and then life happened.

Baseball: Indians finish season with 23-11 record By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer Adair County High School Indians Baseball has concluded the season with a final record of 23-11, after a 4-10 loss to the Nelson County Cardinals in the 5th Region Tournament. In that game, the Indians were mainly held back by a poor offensive outing, with the team as a whole combining for just three hits and a batting average of .115 on the game. Sophomores Alex Martin and Jasper Kemp were the only people to post hits for the Tribe, with Martin having a pair to lead the team. Three Indians took the mound, Brayton Coomer, Bryce Russell, and Issac Rodgers. Rodgers got the start and went two innings, giving up three hits, four runs, and walking two batters while being unable to strike out any on 46 pitches. Brayton Coomer contributed three innings of work from the mound, giving up four hits, four runs, walking two batters and striking out three batters on 50 pitches. Bryce Russell did one inning of work pitching, giving up a pair of hits and runs and not walking or striking out any batters on 20 pitches. Overall, the Tribe had a very successful season, reaching the 5th Region Tournament for the first time since 2018. The success of this season is owed in large part to this year's seniors: Brody Brock, Brayton Coomer, Zane Gist, Jagger Kemp, Issac Rodgers, and Aiden Smith, all of which we at Columbia Magazine wish the best in their future. 2025-05-29 08:56:13 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Sports
Summer reading list by LWC Arts and Humanities faculty From Duane Bonifer Memorial Day is the unofficial marker of summer, and it's also when many turn their attention to a summer reading list to accompany them on vacation or while enjoying the longer hours of natural light. Members of the Lindsey Wilson College School of Arts and Humanities faculty have assembled a diverse -- and verified -- list of authors and titles they either plan to read or recommend to anyone looking for summer reading recommendations. (Note: Click article title to see the full list) Included in the list are one of this summer's big books, classics that you might have neglected or put off, murder mystery series, novels that were the basis for popular films, and a well-known author's lesser-known work. Regardless, there is more than enough to read long after the final coal in the grill has burned out and all of the fireworks have launched.
