Chocolate Walmart Lab Dog not Reeses Bennett

We just got this message:
Ed, Thank you so much for running the article on the chocolate lab that I found at Wal Mart! Mike Bennett came and looked at him and sadly, it wasn't his dog. So, we still have him and if you can keep running the ad, maybe his owners will hear about it. He is exceptionally friendly, and looks well-fed and healthy...so I believe he has parents somewhere!! If anyone knows anything about him, they can call me at (270) 805-1467. Thank you so much! Trish
This means the APB on Reeses is still out. But for others with missing chocolate labs, please watch the ANIMALS section in the ColumbiaMagazine.com classifieds.

LWC, Columbia Baptist Church celebrate century old partnership

Click on headline for story plus photo(s)

By Duane Bonifer

The century-long relationship between Lindsey Wilson College and Columbia Baptist Church was celebrated Sunday morning, February 7, 2010. Columbia Baptist Church held a special "Lindsey Wilson College Celebration Day" to mark the common partnership between the two institutions.

The Rev. G. Ted Taylor of Columbia Baptist Church noted that the church played an important role in 1902 when the Methodist Episcopal Church, South held the Louisville Annual Conference in Columbia. The 57th Annual Conference was held at the Adair County Courthouse in part to curry local favor to found what would become Lindsey Wilson Training School. Columbia Baptist Church, along with several other Protestant denominations, helped welcome the conference delegates to Columbia.

Sunday's celebration also included a special breakfast for LWC students, performance by the Lindsey Wilson Singers, recognition of the college's nationally ranked men's and women's soccer teams, and remarks by Lindsey Wilson President William T. Luckey Jr.
