Daily News for Sunday, January 19, 2020
Kentucky Color: Big Leaf By Billy Joe Fudge President, Homeplace on Green River, Inc. The Great Wooded South is in a unique latitude in the sense of variety of timber species. We are in that North - South zone where most of the Southern species will grow this far North and most of the Northern Species will grow this far South. This 24 inch leaf is from the Umbrella Magnolia and is one of the largest leaves found around these parts. Umbrella Magnolia is an understory species and understory species receive very little direct sunlight during the growing season. So nature has provided it with these large leaves which grow outward at a 90 degree angle around the end of each branch making a circle of leaves which forms a 4 feet wide umbrella, so to speak. This umbrella has a massive amount of surface area to gather in as much sunlight as possible. The Umbrella Magnolia is not a timber species per se, growing only about 30 to 40 feet in height and is one of only two Magnolia's growing in the forests of the Great Wooded South. Cucumber Magnolia is the other and is a timber species but not very abundant in our area. 2020-01-19 20:09:27 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Kentucky Color by Billy Joe Fudge

January 7, 1978 Around Adair with Ed Waggener The article below first appeared in the January 7, 1978 issue of the Daily Statesman. Topics included the building anticipation for the Inauguration ceremonies, which were bringing media from Louisville and Lexington, the election of "Miss Print" at Waggener-Walker Newspapers, renovations at WAIN, new blood at Central Kentucky Realty, an idea we *still* out to steal from Meigs County, Tennessee, and a history lesson from Former Mayor Ralph Willis. --Pen By Ed Waggener Busiest ever in Columbia The day leading up to the Inauguration has been one of the greatest ones of frenetic activity I've ever seen here. I was told that at various places around the town there were a minimum of 150 people working on the preparation for the events. There were girls making trash cans out of cardboard boxes in the courthouse. The chili was being given the final touch by Master Chef Carl Harris and members of the Rescue Squad. The Reception was being prepared at Lindsey and scores were making last-minute preparations for the floats and parade. Everybody has helped It has been an event with the greatest unamimity of spirit I've ever seen exhibited in Columbia. And that bodes well for the New Day the leaders are talking about. Even when Don Moss, the head of the finance committee, asked for funds to help defray the cost of the event the three banks, led by Willard Smith of First Federal, followed by the Bank of Columbia and the First National Bank, each put up $250 apiece to help underwrite the event. That helped. Moss expects to need $2,000 to $3,000 to pay for the event, but he anticipates no problem there. Miss Print Enclosed At the newspaper plant, Miss Print was elected. She's pretty Joyce Ann Wisdom, head of the Waggener-Walker Circulation Department. It took money to buy votes for Miss Print, and Miss Wisdom's backers put in the most.
