Honor Flight followup

About: WWII Vets Edgar Holmes Willie Bill Janes make Honor Flight

Paul W. Kirby writes:
Ed,

Thanks for your article. I just want to say I saw Mr. Holmes at Wal-Mart Saturday. He was so happy and was thanking me for talking him into going on Honor Flight. He was just like a child returning from Disney Land with tears in his eyes. He said he did not deserve the hero attention he got, and I said, "You are right, you don't. You deserve more."

He was showing all of his pictures he had developed to his friends at Wal-Mart with tears in his eyes and a smile on his face.

The Flight for August was canceled because lack of funds, but with the help of Charles Costello, District Eight Commander VFW, and Senior Vice Commander of Metcalfe County VFW, who went out to solicit donations from our banks, city and county governments and insurance companies and private individuals, we've collected over ten thousand dollars. If all the counties would do this we may be able to send the rest before it is too late. (There were several who passed away or became too ill to go on this trip.)

This was the biggest departure for the Veterans in our area so far, there were eight that went, and two became too ill to go. It took a lot of people to put this together, there are too many to mention, but I want to say thanks to all.

--Paul W. Kirby

By Duane Bonifer, LWC Director of Public Affairs

COLUMBIA, KY - When the 2009 fall semester began last week on Lindsey Wilson College's A.P. White Campus, students returned to a different place in more than one way. Several construction projects were in progress, a new football program was in its nascent stages, and more than a dozen new faculty and staff had been added to the roster.

To accommodate an increase of more than 150 resident students, the college's Academic Success Center was moved from Weldon Hall to the Everett Building. The college also converted 10 buildings that had once been homes into residence halls to also create more space for the influx of resident students.

Epicurean Sixth Grader evaluates Warmed Pop-Tarts at ACES

She's a huge fan of warmed Pop-Tarts, but pans ACES' management on inefficiency inchocolate supply lines. Noon meals aren't always that great, she says.She admits her mother is horrified to read part of this critique, butsticks by her guns tell it like it is about Warmed Pop Tarts forBreakfast

As a Pop-Tart loving girl I must say that it's hard for me to haveanything against them.

But I am not a big fan of school lunches. Some of them do not have avery good taste, and others do not even look like food. I once noticedthat my cheeseburger had more pink in the middle than neccesary, Iasked the cooks.

Impressed by cosmopolitan level of CU, LWC

About: CU has record number of new students new freshmen

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

I am interested to know the countries that are represented at CU and LWC. I am impressed that they are both at such a cosmopolitan level.

s/Charles Marshburn

Thanks. Hope stories will come from the schools. There's a cue to the origins of the students in stories. We asked for - almost demanded - that the schools communications' departments include the students names and hometowns in any release, including those for foreign students. This gives our readers' cues about origins; more importantly, it shows how student-centered an institution really is. -Ed Waggener

Letter: Debbie Bradshaw, Sheila WIllis commended

About: Adair County receives two PRIDE grants totaling $6,075

To ColumbiaMagazine.com

Debbie Bradshaw, 1st grade teacher at Col. Wm. Casey, and Sheila Willis, Biology teacher at ACHS, are to be commended for their hard work and dedication to this project. They truly enhance the experiences of so many students at both schools through this grant. The collaboration between the high school students and elementary students is phenomenal.

The Garden Friends program at CWC, the Arboretum at ACHS, and the annual Pumpkin Patch project are just a few of the great things that have been established through this long standing grant program. They work hand in hand with teachers and other programs in the school district to get the most out of the resources they are given. They are just one example of the many great people we have working in the Adair County School System.
