Columbia completing 8th annexation in just over 2 years

City Council okays second reading of South KY 61 annexation. Now it's all up to the Adair Progress. Latest annexation is official after publication on February 1, 2007. Then it's on to Green Hills. List of Mayor Bell's annexations follows

By Ed Waggener

Barring an unlikely failure of the advertising department or the mighty press at the Adair Progress, in a millisecond past midnight--maybe less of a lapse--on Thursday, February 1, 2007, Columbia will officially expand with it's eighth annexation in just over two years.

City Attorney Marshall gave the second reading of Ordinance No. 110.27 - Highway 61 S, today at 1:00:20pm in a Special Called meeting. Moments later, the Council, with a quorum of four councillors, unanimously approved the annexation of 185.95 acres south of Petty's Fork.

Red barn, pickup photo brings back memories

The barn in the winter scene on KY 768 brings back fond memories for writer

By Billy Joe Fudge

This barn and farm belonged to my Dad Ordell "J O" Fudge from 1956 until a couple of years ago when he sold all but 6 acres to Jimmy and Joyce Reliford. Dad and Mom still live across the road from the barn.

There between the base of the sassafras tree and the drive is where we had a concrete milk cooler buried in the ground. The tank held four ten gallon milk cans. We filled up the tank with water around the cans of warm milk and we would carry ice from the house to cool the water to cool the milk when the milk man would be late or if the mornings would be exceptionally hot.
