School Safety Top Priority at Col. Wm. Casey School Emergency drill held this morning . . . The safety of our students is, has been, and will always be priority one. - PATTY RUSH By Patty Jones, Principal News from Col. Wm. Casey School I just wanted you to know that the first thing on the agenda at Col. Wm. Casey this morning was an emergency drill to ensure that all students and staff know what to do in the event of an intruder in our building. While we know the unlikeliness of an event like that at Sandy Hook Elementary occurring we want to be prepared. I am sure the families affected on Friday never imagined something like that happening in their small community either. While our school has strong security measures in place, the tragedy in Connecticut has heightened all of our awareness for school safety. I encourage any parents who have questions, concerns or suggestion to contact me at 270-384-3367. The safety of our students is, has been, and will always be priority one. - Patty Rush, Col. Wm.

The Gandy Dancers. And what's the history of RRs in Columbia, KY? Charles Marshburn writes: Has Columbia ever heard the songs of the Gandy Dancers or have I missed the railroad tracks in town? What is the story of the railroad in Columbia\'s history? --Charles MarshburnThanks. You raise a very topical issue. Which should be answered by one of our truly qualified historians. I only know these things: 1) We had a depot once on Reed Street. 2) The last serious ideas on building a railroad was from the late Hughes Walker, who noted that we could build it ourselves. It would be profitable, as I understand the freight line RR from Glasgow to Cave City is. We certainly need one. -EW 2012-12-17 08:17:02 | Comments | Printable version
