A pair of similar local burglaries are under investigation by the Columbia Police Department, which is asking the law-abiding public to assist them in solving the remaining mystery around the cases.

"For some reason," Chief Mark Harris said, "this seems to be the season for burglaries. We're asking Columbia residents to just help us by keeping a closer watch on their property and to report any suspicious activity. He added, "We're not asking citizens of Columbia to do anything but be alert, and report the matter to us or to other law enforcement agencies. We'll take care of it from there."

On God granting 70 years of marriage to the Feeses

LETTERS and FEEDBACK

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

How marvelous it is that God has granted such a wonderful Christian couple 70 years of marriage. Having been connected to the Feese family by Homer's marriage to Bertha, I have observed their love for God and others all of my adult life. Their love for my brother, Homer Goodin, and the wonderful support they gave him and Bertha during his illness and death demonstrate the depth of their goodness.

May God continue to bless them.
