The Columbia Homecoming Festival is an annual weekend celebration of fun-
?lled activities. It is proudly hosted by The Columbia Chamber of Commerce, which
is a non-pro?t 501©(6) organization. The Columbia Homecoming Festival relies on
sponsorships and donations to help fund the events. Individuals and/or organizations
may sponsor the festival at any level, up to the most recognized “Special Event Spon-
sor.” Your sponsorships and donations make these events possible: ?reworks display,
family-friendly entertainment, the Baby Liberty and Little Miss and Master Contests,
prizes and awards, Kid’s Day games, carnival rides and much more!
The Chamber of Commerce members are all parts of the local community and
share their passion for supporting the causes most important to their neighborhoods.
Proceeds from the festival help to support the community, food banks, boy and girl
scouts, Fire Department, park enhancement, scholarships, school activities and vari-
ous other local organizations.
To ?nd out how rewarding being a supporter can be, just ask our 2014 sponsors. A
special “thank you” to all of you for helping to make last year’s festival a great suc-
cess! Make sure that you check this edition of the The Rural-Urban Record for the
envelope to help us meet our goal of $15,000. You can also donate online at www.

Each year, the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is forced to spend $4
million on litter pickup - a persistent and preventable problem. “Not only is litter ex-
pensive, but it takes us away from more important roadwork,” said ODOT Director
Jerry Wray.
Statewide last year, ODOT spent $4 million picking up 42,572 bags of trash. That
money could be used to purchase 28 new snowplow trucks, pave a 28-mile 2-lane
road or install 160 culverts. Fortunately, ODOT does get aid from local volunteers,
including its more than 1,400 Adopt-A-Highway groups.
ODOT’s Adopt-A-Highway groups – at least one in each of Ohio’s 88 counties
– clean a 2-mile section, or interchange, a minimum of four times a year for two
years. Last year, Adopt-A-Highway volunteers picked up 20,000 bags of trash, saving
ODOT $130,000. ODOT also pays for guards from state prisons and county jails to
monitor inmates working to pick up litter.
Groups wanting to adopt a section of highway or an interchange can apply at:

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record
of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. --Corinthians 13:4-7

As in most situations, a certain type of etiquette is found in golf. Here are a number of
tips to help you.
-Show up on time for your game. If you are late you can keep others from being able to start
their game.
-Observe the orders of the club. Jeans and tee shirts are not usually allowed. Shirts with collars
are seen in most clubs.
-Some clubs frown on changing your shoes in the parking lot. They prefer all changing to be
done in the locker rooms. Leave your cell phone at home or in your car. Contrary to what you
see on TV business deals are not made on the golf course. -Honesty and courtesy are very
important.
Learn the basic rules of the course and club.
Adhere to the order of play. Sometimes they will use ready play which means when you are
ready you play. Who goes ?rst is decided on by a ?ip of a coin who starts at the ?rst tee. On sub-
sequent holes the person with the best score on the previous hole goes ?rst on the next one.
When another player is shooting you must be absolutely quiet. Any noise or sounds can dis-
tract the golfer and cause a missed shot. When it is your turn do not delay; keep the ?ow of the
game going.
When you hit the ball be careful. It is Golf’s worse offense if you hit a group of golfers that are
ahead of you.
There are all kinds of available resources for you regarding equipment, tips and the history of
the game. If you know the rules of the game and on the courses you play you will have a great.
Even if you do not play for competition golf is still a fun game.
