 Hello, Columbia, and welcome to City View, where we bring you a close-up view of the city of Columbia. I'm your host, Lysha Utsy. In our top story, recently, Mayor Daniel J. Rickerman, along with Columbia City Council members and city officials, showed their support for Ukraine by having a flag placed at City Hall. Hey, everybody, just really excited to be here today and have the opportunity to be with fellow council members and hoisting up the flag on City Hall in support of the Ukrainians who are going through a rough time right now. Just want them to know that our hearts, our prayers, our thoughts, and everything that we can do are there for them, and that this is just one way for us to display our support. In our next story, we have an exciting announcement from the Columbia Police Department, along with partners from Servant Commit and Nefron Pharmaceuticals. Community policing is really what we've built, our foundation of policing is throughout the state, and I think that was never more evident than in the last 24 months when we've seen nationally some of the social unrest issues that have occurred and many places spiraled out of control and what you saw here was the importance of relationships and partnerships and trust, and I think that's what allowed us to manage and work together to be solution oriented and how we police and what other communities want to see out of their police departments. The City of Columbia was proud to join the Historic Columbia Foundation for a recent announcement about the new Void Foundation Horticultural Center. During this announcement, Mayor Daniel J. Rickerman also bestowed a proclamation to Susan Void. I want to do something different. I don't want to talk about the center today. I'm Mrs. Boyd. I want to thank you for your contributions to the City of Columbia, and I want on behalf of the City of Columbia, my fellow council members, present you with a proclamation declaring March 9th, the Susan Boyd Day in Columbia, South Carolina, and present you with the key to the City of Columbia. For all your contributions and everything you've done, we can't thank you enough. Hey Columbia, do we have any pickleball fans out there? Well, they're new pickleball courts at Southeast Park. Pickleball is an incredible sport. It is so much fun. I like it better than tennis. It's much more social, in my opinion, and it gets very competitive, especially when you're playing against your spouse at times. But what a great, I'm glad that we're making investments around our community. It has really become a draw and has really gotten people back out and together. So we're excited to be here. We can't really do the golden shovel here. So I made arrangements that Mr. DeVall could take the golden paddle here and get the first serve out.
