Each month, inspectors from the Georgia Department of Public Health visit restaurants and other establishments in Columbus to ensure proper food-handling and safety practices are followed. Inspectors visited more than 70 Muscogee County restaurants, lounges, hotels and other establishments during October. Among them, 25 received perfect scores, with 35 also receiving an A.

Establishments that receive a C or U will have at least one additional routine inspection added in 12 months, according to state law . Earning a B does not necessitate a follow-up inspection.

The largest medical companies in Columbus have crossed corporate lines in another execution of the regional economic strategy. Last month, healthcare industry professionals, community stakeholders and economic development leaders met at Columbus Technical College for the first installment of “ Vital Signs ,” an initiative targeting regional healthcare professionals and providers. “The goal is to get us all on the same page,” Missy Kendrick, CEO and president of Choose Columbus , told the Ledger-Enquirer. “You can’t completely remove competition, but as far as this is concerned, we all have the same message. We want to highlight Columbus as a healthcare region that will benefit everybody.” Kendrick, along with the Rev. Jimmy Elder, pastor of First Baptist Church and board chairman of St. Francis Emory Hospital, helped organize the effort. Vital Signs aims to bring together hospitals, private medical practices, specialty treatment centers, educational institutions and other healthcare providers to identify opportunities for collaboration. The initiative comes as Columbus enters the implementation phase of Columbus Ahead , the five-year regional economic development strategy. Elder told the Ledger-Enquirer he began advocating for greater collaboration across Columbus’ healthcare institutions during discussions of Columbus 2025 , the previous regional economic development strategy spanning from

Roger Brown, who was inducted in 2004, making the Browns only the second family pair in the Ranger Hall of Fame. According to the National Ranger Memorial Foundation website , 510 people have been inducted since 1992. U.S. Army Rangers make up the military’s 75th Ranger Regiment.

Georgia House Democrats select Carolyn Hugley as state's first Black woman Speaker

The Democratic caucus in the Georgia House of Representatives voted Thursday to make state Rep. Carolyn Hugley (D-Columbus) the presumptive Speaker of the House. If the full House officially votes for her in January, when the Democrats will be in the majority, Hugley would become the first Black woman to be elected Speaker in Georgia. Hugley tips her hat to the women who came before her and inspired her career over the years, she told the Ledger-Enquirer. Women like Shirley Chisholm, Hugley’s “political hero,” who became the first Black woman to be elected to the U.S. Congress in 1968, representing New York’s 12th Congressional District. “She showed us how it’s to be done,” Hugley said. “You have to be fearless and bold and prepared.” Hugley also was inspired by Maretta Mitchell Taylor of Columbus, the first Black woman elected to serve Georgia House District 94, now District 134. She was a good friend and mentor, Hugley said. “We’re naming the interchange at Buena Vista Road in her honor,” she said. “Rep. Taylor was here when I got here, and we worked on a lot of things together because she was an educator.” Taylor died in 2013 after a lifetime of
