Making the cut for pedestrian mall

By Laura Roberts

Sid Rathert, of Ava, cuts a piece of stone Monday in a makeshift workshop outside Faner Hall. Rathert, who has cut stone for 35 years, works part time on the Faner pedestrian mall project. Since there is not much work for stonecutters in southern Illinois, Rathert said he has enjoyed his involvement with the project. Laura Roberts-Daily Egyptian
