WELCOME HOME: Homebuyer program celebrates latest project
For most homebuyers, the move to a new house is marked by the removal of a “for sale” sign and little fanfare. However, for first-time homebuyers Emmalee Mitchell and Daniel Bautista, their move was heralded by a ribbon cutting the celebration of a home more than a year in the making.
The house, located at 925 Eighth St., is the second home built as part of the Lincoln Central Neighborhood Homebuyer Program. Its completion was celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house on Thursday.
Mitchell and Bautista expect to close the deal today, and Mitchell said they were excited to see the completed house.

Orchids to …
• the editorial for calling out the “lazy” state senator for perpetuating false claims of voter fraud, creating drama when there is none and denigrating our democracy in the process.
• those who realize that if the election in Georgia was fixed, there wouldn’t be a runoff for the Senate seats the fix would have been put in for them too.
• Jeff and Joy Hilycord for being a great neighbor next door, for checking in on us and feeding us.
• local law enforcement agencies and officers who went beyond call of duty to make a young boy happy on his birthday. All honor and respect to our valiant men/women in blue, from grateful Columbus resident.
