Three of Cherokee County’s department heads were greeting those attending the 17 county meeting held recently at the State Theatre Event Center. Newly elected treasurer Heather Sapp, Register of Deeds Barbara Bilke and County Clerk Rebecca Brassart were checking people in and providing information to those in attendance.

One of the most unusual items at the Evans’ Hammer In held recently was this walking stick put together by Martin Weston. The head is a coconut he found on the beach as well as the stick also found on the beach. “I put the two together and built the unusual walking stick.”

KSHSAA puts on a Student Council Regional Conference across the state. Columbus has hosted the conference the past two years in a row. Being successful last year, another 80 students were gained this year and had a blast. This year, CUHS hosted 28 different schools. The Columbus Student Council did a great job welcoming students as they walked in the doors of the school and interacted very well in group meetings. Christine Lovell is the Student Council Sponsor.
