Thank You: Lindsey Wilson College By Patty Jones, Principal, Colonel William Casey Elementary School As principal of a local elementary school, I want to add my thanks to the students, faculty and staff at Lindsey Wilson College. During the past decade our partnership with the college has grown stronger on a yearly basis. Col. Wm. Casey and the education department at LWC have had a strong partnership for many years. Dr. Larry Ennis, and Asst. Principal, Laura Murrell work together as a team to ensure the success of this program. Each semester students in the department are assigned to a primary teacher at our school. Those students work collaboratively with their assigned teacher to gain knowledge for themselves and provide knowledge to both our staff and students. Most then go on to student teach at our school. I might add that many of those students are now fully certified teachers on staff at Casey.

Feedback: Julia Ann story brings back memories of Rialto To ColumbiaMagazine.com The Julia Ann Pickett story brings back memories of the Rialto "picture show." I was very happy when, on Saturday afternoon, I had a quarter to attend movies like "Old Yeller." I think the admission price was 15 cents, and popcorn (served in a paper cone) and drinks were 5 cents each. The Rialto was owned by the F. X. Merkley family, and I believe it was located about where Wanda Hill's office is in the Bank of Columbia.

Feedback: Scrollwork in basket are french curves About: Scenic Adair County: 666? No, thinks Old Coddger To the editor, ColumbiaMagazine.com I just love all of Old Coddger's pictures. Well: the sign of the beast issue: This iron work design is not at all three sixes. In classical architectural design these curly Qs in question are classified as french curves. In iron work this is a simple task, but for stone masonry a little more difficult rendering to accomplish.
