CITY OF COALGATE MAKING PLANS FOR 4 TH OF JULY FIREWORKS SHOW — RW Lambert Trucking, Southside Liquor and Ronny and Tammy Lambert recently donated $1,100 for Coalgate’s 2021 4 th of July fireworks show. With the price of fireworks increasing every year, the Coalgate City Council voted in April to allow the city to spend $10,000 for the 2021 fireworks show – an increase of $3,000 over 2020. Coalgate’s impressive fireworks show, which attracts a large number of people not only from Coalgate but also from surrounding areas, is made possible by community donations. Last year, the council approved $7,000, but the community pitched in $6,900, leaving the city having to pay only about $100.

When asked about a special teacher, most people will remember the teacher who not only taught them to learn but who also who touched their lives. They will remember that the teacher made learning fun while maintaining a disciplined class. They knew the teacher cared about them as persons and not just as students. They would remember the person who did not consider teaching a job but a calling, a part of their lives. That is the teacher who made a lasting impact that continues to teach them today. For many people in this area, especially in Coalgate, that special teacher is Mrs. Mead. When commenting on her retirement, Mrs. Mead stated, “I know it is time, but I love this place. I love the people, the students…everything about it.” That is the passion that has touched so many lives.
