Flushed Away starts Friday at Columbian

By Nathan Compton, Mgr., Columbian Theater

Starting Friday, November 3, 2006, we have "Flushed Away."

"Flushed Away" is rated PG and will play nightly at 6:00 and 8:00pm and Sunday at 2:00 and 4:00 pm only.

Beneath the streets of London, Roddy St. James is a pampered pet mouse who thinks he's got it made. But when a sewer rat named Sid--the definition of "low life"--comes spewing out of the sink and decides it's his turn to enjoy the lap of luxury, Roddy schemes to rid himself of the pest by luring him into the loo for a dip in the "whirlpool."

Feedback: Adair native enjoys seeing faces and places

Editor:

Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy reading ColumbiaMagazine.

I am a native of Adair County, but moved away after graduation from LWC. It is like a visit back home to check out what's going on through your paper and I love to look at each and every picture for faces and places I haven't seen in many years.

Thanks for what you do.

Big government projects do not build a local economy. Big government buildings, monuments to our politician's greatness, are like ticks (parasites) on a hound dog. - ED PIPALSKI

Dear Editor:

I am writing to sympathize with the property owners facing the potential seizure of their homes and businesses under condemnation proceedings, (eminent domain) in Adair and Taylor Counties for the advancement of big political careers.
