VISTA in Lowndes
County is temporary
On Nov. 24, the AmeriCorps VISTA Volunteer
program in Lowndes County will come to an end
after eight years of providing workers to help
local nonprofits expand their reach and service to
our community.
The Columbus Arts Council, the entity that
has held the grant for the federal program, decid-
ed last month that it could no longer operate the
program.
The program allowed nearly a dozen nonprofits
such as the Y, Boys and Girls Club, Palmer Home
and Main Street Columbus make more of an
impact on our community.
Without question, the loss of the program is
unfortunate and was a difficult decision for the
CAC Board. But as the costs, regulations and
requirements of the federal grant increased, it
became apparent that the job of administering the
program was simply more than the CAC could
manage.
We hope that this does not mean the end of the
county’s VISTA program, but merely a brief inter-
lude that will allow another entity better equipped

hard to keep things in control.
But this is nothing compared
with how hard it is to stay in
control when you’re going too
slowly. That’s why it’s import-
ant to be around people with a
similar sense of pacing.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.

when you’re choosing your team
or deciding which group to join.
FAMILY CIRCUS Sincere smiles will be a good
test of sincere people.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March

is not on your side, but there
are no significant forces to op-
pose you. On a neutral day such
as this, a confident advance will
tip the scales of fortune your
